So a friend and I were debating various cutlures and we came to China. Let me state it unequivocally, we were lost. We both had more than a slight distate for the current reigeme, but what we were trying to determine as the basic social graces, forms and expectations in Chinese society as a whole. Their views on issues such as marriage, economics, world history, other nations, their role in the world and so on and so forth. Basically, we want to try to understand China. So, all ye Chinese on the forums, can you begin my -and I am sure- other peoples education on the subject?

Nope. Only the Capps has access to the control panel. This is apparently because his "modifications" to the UBB fucked everything up, so he's afraid that, if any of the rest of tries to use it, the whole thing will die.
Or something like that; I don't really know for sure. :-)

I could log into the server and change it, but with what Charles has done, the whole forum may start laying eggs...or something.

*L* You mean like generalize and summarize several thousand years of history, and the various thoughts and feelings of over a billion human beings into a several paragraph soundbite?
Boy, this could be fun....could you maybe start with something smaller and more manageable?
