<p>Wasn't he the first asian to do so? And how many were eliminated before he did that? Lastly, during the last athletics world championships in Helsinki, did he reiterate his exploit? No. Keita, a french originally from Mali (Africa) won it.
And I said 100 m dash. C'est la distance reine. That's where you differentiate who's who. Further, how many Blacks set records? Too many of them.
Chinese and Russians are good acrobats; euro-americans also. French fence very well, as well as italians and spaniards. Australians and euro-Americans are very good swimmers.
All that are set beliefs. However when you train someone well, they will do well. Wait to see how chinese are going to perform for the olympics in Pekin.
I am just telling things as they are.</p>
<p>Yes, atleast that is straightened berthran, and please read my last post in page7. My heroes were the players in N.Y. Knicks when i was young</p>
<p>I could just cry, that was very powerful.</p>
<p>I liked John Starks too, he was the Michael Jordan stopper. But back to the point of this thread, thanks for the words of advice asianschoolboy but I am already a bit preppy. I wear polos and cut up ambercrombie jeans (but not like all the time). It seems people taunt me more for this, as I've heard that people call me a whitewashed fake behind my back. Whatevers. I think Martin Luther King day gives me a great opportunity to strike up a conversation with my dream girl tommorow. I plan to ask her what she thought about the civil rights movement tommorow during chem. From there, I might just work up the courage to ask her out. Wish me good luck guys!!! Oh and can everyone please stop hijacking my thread!!!</p>
<p>Asianschoolboy: you are disapointing me. I thought you were a discerning young man. You are not, and you are just trying to force something.
How many times will I tell you that I know that any race is as good as the other?</p>
<p>Yeah i wish you Good Luck Azn Nerd and as for Brethran, we should all be friends. My bad on that Berthran, i got everything all mixed up</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn't read your last post. Friends?</p>
<p>Okay AznNerd, first of all, I'm with you in spirit, girls are tough. But some advice, some very good advice. Don't strike up a conversation about the civil rights movement. I love a good intellectual conversation as much as the next guy, maybe more. But if you like her you need to be funny, witty, and keep her interested and I don't think civil rights will do the trick in this case.</p>
<p>Yeah berthran, my bad with all the mix ups</p>
<p>What do you think I should talk about then?</p>
<p>Well I guess that depends, what do you like and what does she like. If you like her I'm sure you know a few things, hopefully not a few too many things. Get back to me and I will try and help you out.</p>
<p>You should talk about stories that will make her laugh, like anything funny happen in your childhood or anything funny that you've experienced in your life. Something interesting</p>
<p>start with a lame pick-up line. Anyways, if you have nothing goo dto talk abotu with her, then you really shouldn't be going out with her since it would seem like all you want out of her are superficial things.</p>
<p>don't give the kid bad advice meestasi. I agree with you AsianSchoolboy with the funny stories. But the man has got to start a conversation. You can't just go in and say my brother beat the hell out of me when I was five how are you today!</p>
<p>AznNerd: how about you ask her if she went to a parade or something on Dr. King's day? You chat a little about, that and then you tell her that you were at at this cultural presentation and you thought that it would have been more fun if she were there with you. And that you hope you will attend something like that together in a near future. She can't say no upfront when you surprise her like that. After she accepts, top the conversation right there and act very naturally as you used to. It's that simple.
Be courageous. Remember this: girls are usually as scared and embarrassed as you are.</p>
<p>Psh, the hot ones know better. Well, at least they put on the airs of confidence. Also, no1 ever says outright whether they like a person or not, it would be a lot easier if we all did that.</p>
<p>okay well personal experience time...</p>
<p>this guy came up to me after the Junior Miss Scholarship Pageant (what an oxymoron!!) and basically told me I was the most beautiful girl on stage, etc. and he gave me his number and SN...I IM'ed him the next day and told him that I wanted to get to know him and wanted him to get to know me beyond what we each look like (and he is a pretty cute kid, too), so we did...we really hit it off, and even though things have changed a lot, we wound up having a lot in common and I sort of "adopted" one of his interests</p>
<p>so you can start things off that way if you want, but make sure she knows that you are after her for more than just the fact that you think she's hot, and that is a perfectly acceptable reason, just not by itself.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>keyword, beautiful, don't say hot. Wow, that dude was smooth.</p>
<p>Your words ring true. People should be a little bit more forward, make this world a better place ot live in. Okay berthran, heck nah man. For one, lying isn't a good ice beaker, he should be forward but not go to far too fast. He should talk to her for a little bit and she what's up and just straight up ask her out. I do agree with the surprising her though</p>
<p>Do not try to start being nice to her if she didn't show any sign that she likes you. If you try that approach, she will know what you want and will get ready to answer you. She will have time to talk to her friends who will tell her things like "u don't wanna go out with an asian?"
Surprise her. It's way better. Believe me, it's coming from no book, but it's from experience.</p>
