Anyone remember the name of this kung-fu movie with Bruce Lee lookalike?
Anyone remember the name of this kung-fu movie with Bruce Lee lookalike?
I saw it in late 80s-early 90s on VHS. Movie was more or less following standard hongkong kung-fu movie plot, except the main character was called Bruce Lee (but it definitely was not him, allthough the lookalike actor was very close match). Plot: A martial arts school of traditional Kung-fu style (where Bruce Lee is one of the teachers? - they call him "Bruce") in China is being bullied by nearby japanese karate school, with intent to get rid of competition. Of course lots of fighting happens, after which Bruce is the clear winner (thus his school prevails), and japanese school hires a master from japan that has some weird weapon, looking like a pair of cymbals, which he can use as shields and as throwing weapons as well. The japanese master assassinates Bruce's teacher - an old man leaving in the mountains (yet still pretty energetic for his age - he put up a major fight) and Bruce has a spectacular showdown with him after finishing beating the remaining japanese school students and teachers. Movie title might have had "Bruce Lee" in it (but since it was translated - I'm not sure - translated movie titles might be completely different from original) Possibly important is the detail I've remembered - that the japanese master-assassin was not dressed in Kimono outfit, but instead in a dark suit with a hat (very similar to what Oddjob was wearing in James Bond movie Goldfinger) No, its not "They Call me Bruce" or its sequel. But it did point me in the right direction to this page (about Bruce Lee clones): http://www.beijingvideo.com/clones.html

Are Filipinos really considered in US as Pacific Islanders and not Asians?
Are Filipinos really considered in US as Pacific Islanders and not Asians?
Don’t be fooled at once by the title of the entry. The story behind that statement excludes us. Last year, a friend left the Philippines and went to the United States. In his German class, the students were international. The professor asked who the Asians were and one by one the Asian students introduced themselves. And so it went, the Chinese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, the Singaporeans etc. all raised their hands. Finally the professor calls this Filipino and asks, Professor: Where are you from? Filipino: Philippines Professor: Oh, Filipinos are not Asians! They are Pacific Islanders! Because ASIANS ARE SMART… In the United States, it is already being taught in schools that Filipinos are not Asians—that we are Pacific Islanders. While there is a lot of reaction against it, I am surprised that many intelligent Filipinos abroad have accepted this without question. Pacific Islands are places like Samoa, Hawaii, Tahiti, Guam, Cook Islands, Mariana Islands—and their common denominator? Most of them do not possess their own national and political identities—they are islands under the jurisdiction and protection of more powerful countries like USA, France and New Zealand. Most of these Pacific Islands are still referred to as “indigenous natives.†They have very, very small populations and they have no global role or power. While they have their own unique culture and characteristics, they do not hail from any great civilization in the past. Hindi sila lumaban at tumayo para sa sarili nilang lahi. What is even sad, however, is that even Pacific Islanders do not like and do not accept Filipinos! One good example are Hawaiian tourists we met in China. When they learned that we were Filipinos, they disgustingly uttered , “You eat Balot!†and avoided us like a plague. The statement of this American guy, filled with racism obviously merits strong disapproval. In fact, our friend was so angry after having been humiliated in front of the class. The logical thing to say, is that the Philippines IS part of the ASEAN group of nations. We can also say that Japan is an island in the Pacific Ocean but is not considered a Pacific Island. But we should ask—why would no one dare to call the Japanese people Pacific Islanders? Why pick on the Philippines? Simple. Because Japan has produced cars and we have produced dried mangoes and pastillas. The Philippines has been so left behind by Asian countries that foreigners shake their heads and ask, “What happened to your country?†Let us not even compare the Philippines with the four Tiger economies, ‘cuz they’re just way way way too far ahead. What about Vietnam and Thailand? I read that for every one Filipino who has a Master’s Degree, Vietnam has 6, Thailand has 25 and Singapore has 200. But why bother to be educated when the national dream is to go abroad? We are scattered from Hongkong to Kazakhstan, from Italy to even North Korea. Thousands of our doctors are becoming nurses. Our teachers become caregivers. Our women become entertainers and prostitutes. Our young people only know one course and that is nursing. Why would foreigners respect us when we do not even respect ourselves? We are the country of Gucci Gangs—our elite own Picassos and they simply have no heart to alleviate and educate the masses, as F. Sionil Jose and Brian Gorrell—the pitiful Australian guy who was robbed by DJ Montano—sadly pointed out. I am reminded of Condoleezza Rice, the first black woman to become the United States Secretary of State. She was born in Alabama and suffered discrimination on account of her color. But she was taught from a young age by her father, that she had to be “twice as goodâ€and prove that she was deserving of advancement. Condoleezza Rice explains, “I was going to be so well prepared, and I was going to do all of these things that were revered in white society SO WELL, that I would be armored somehow from racism. I would be able to confront white society on its own terms.†(Washington Post, Lessons of Might and Right, How Segregation and an Indomitable Family Shaped National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, By Dale Russakoff, September 9, 2001) The only way to answer people, who insist that we are uncivilized tribes is not by shooting off our mouths. The only answer is to beat them by studying and working ten times harder than the rest—to beat them not just once or twice, but to do so consistently for the next 20,30, 40, 50 years. Unless we Filipinos are prepared to love our country, and sacrifice ourselves by doing the extra-mile, we really deserve to be called stupid. ~ Lipad-Lawin Source: http://www.thebrownraise.org

who cars really? people in this world are always trying to put a label on something

What does it matter? The Philippines is in Asia, therefore if you're Filipino you are Asian. It's pretty simple. Being smart or not has nothing to do with anything.
7 :
forgot to mention that Filipinos average the 2nd highest household income out of all asian groups in USA... 1st is Indians.

OK, first of all, expecting Americans to know the least little thing about geography is expecting way too much of them. I'm married to an African, from Ghana. I have encountered hundreds of people who think that Africa is a country, not a continent; several who've asked me if I went on a "safari" when I went to Africa, and whether or not my husband and kids speak "African" (there are 45 major languages in Ghana alone, not even looking at the other 55 countries on the continent). Anyway, the point is, most Americans are going to have a blank "What are you talking about" look when you try to discuss the Philippines. My doctor is from the Philippines. And I've had previous doctors from there. They are good doctors, esp. the one I have now. MY confusion about the Philippines has to do with a sort-of-Asian look to the people, but Spanish sounding names. And Tagalog doesn't seem to be a language like Chinese and Japanese, since it's written with Latin (Roman) characters. So from that perspective, I can see it being considered as a "Pacific Island" country as opposed to being a part of Asia.

how people divide the utility bill during holiday?
how people divide the utility bill during holiday?
Hi, I live a flat with 3 girls (including me, 4 girls) and one girl has been to her country during holiday for a month. Actually, also I wasn't in flat 3 weeks then. Now, we got the utility bill and we have to pay for it. I supposed that the bill should be divided just exactly by 4, but the girl who got back to her country insist she doesn't want to pay for a month. Even we weren't in flat, I think we have to pay for it. I wasn't in flat 3 weeks during the same tern with her, but I feel need to pay because we share the flat and utility is quite uncountable how much we use. (the other 2 girls also sometimes in flat, sometimes not in flat during same term.) What do you think everyone? Do you think her opinion is reasonable? I'd like to solve this problem happily for all. info, we are all students in UK and come from Hongkong, Korean, Greece, and Japan(me). Greece girl got back to her country during holiday.

Are asians most likely smarter than any other race?
Are asians most likely smarter than any other race?
Maybe not all asians..Most people here in America thinks that an "asian" have slanted eyes or etc..what about those russians? indians or cambodians..? But in this case, I will only concentrate my question to asian countries like " china,korea,vietnam,philippines,japan,taiwan,& hongkong. [yes there are alot of asian countries, but the countries I mentioned above are somewhat being typically referred as asians with slanted eyes,not most of them, but you know what I mean] I search over the net and I saw the US census bureau of 2007 related to household income and I found out Asian household lead the chart earning $60,000 up, followed by white= $40,000 or more, then by hispanics and black. as a 15 year old student, I found it easy here in the US when we moved here coz' they only have 4 blocks of classes in the whole day while in the philippines, we do have 9 to 12 blocks. Not all asians are smart, yes there are criminals and etc, but generally in school, are they smart?

It's all based on the way you were raised. Most Asians come from families that highly value education and the children are encouraged to study hard and do well in school. If someone comes from a home that puts an emphasis on education and getting a well paying job, they are likely to pursue that goal. Many Asian communities also have programs to help kids learn. I know my area has the CPC for the Chinese community that has volunteers to help tutor kids which helps boost grades.

11 :
Yes, but I think it's not that they were born more "intelligent" then everyone else. It's just that their parents pressure them to work harder in school. Especially if they're parents or grandparents were immigrants from Asia. Since China and other Asian countries are so populated, the students have no choice but to work hard to make it into colleges to have a good future, since there is so much competition. So since their parents were raised that way, generally they'll raise their kids that way too.

Should i feel bad if i like my bf talk dirty before/during sex?
Should i feel bad if i like my bf talk dirty before/during sex?
when he talk really dirty he always check me and tell me that i'm REALLY wet. should i feel bad? i can't control what my body does. should i feel i'm a slut because i know it's a bad word for girls and i don't want to be one? he call me all kind of bad names i don't know if he really think i'm that way in real life or he just say it to make me really wet and have the sex. i'm confused. there is something else. he gives me money almost every time we meet(even the first time he invited me to his house, he gave me money for taxi fare, but now i know how to drive to his house and he still gives me money). and we do have sex every time we meet. he put money on the nightstand sometimes even before i arrived. and everytime we meet we have A LOT of sex. that's almost the only thing we do because it takes so long so it takes away the time we do other things like talking. He also told me he visited many prostitutes in Asia(china, hongkong, singapore) where he used to work. i don't know how prostitutes work. he gave me money because i'm a student and not working right now. but he always calls me a ''whore'' during sex. should i feel bad about this? does he respect me or just want to take care of me? i hate to ask money from my parents all the time since i can't find a job now. i'm an atheist, he is lutheran catholic i think. does religion matter? **i've asked this in the wrong section, the LGBT one, i think they think i'm a gay boy,but i'm a girl. basically i LOVE the sex we have, i just don't want to feel guilty or bad. thanks for you answering.

I am just fine, although I am sleepy. Thank you for asking. I am glad that you and I agree on things. OR I’m glad you agree with my opinions. (First is more informal.) When I was a student, waking up early and trying to learn bothered me. How far is your house from your school? With the exception of my high school, all the schools that I have attended are near my house. I have to ride the train to go to high school and it takes 40 minutes to get there. Yes, I will think twice before I do something, thank you for the advice. So, you live with your family? Do your siblings live with you and your family too? OR So, you live at home with your family? Do your siblings live at home too? (Second would make more sense, and I’m going to assume that this person in Hong Kong has already mentioned that they have siblings, because to my understanding China has a one child policy in place, but I’m not sure if it extends to Hong Kong.) As I told you earlier, I have a brother. My family owns a house, an apartment, and an office (building? One office to rent out is impossible, usually it’s an office building.) which we rent out. My brother will inherit everything, because he is the oldest and the only boy. Is it the same in Hong Kong? I know that the Swiss (or perhaps the Europeans in general) do not give houses to their children. People there buy their own houses. So you don’t talk to your parents often? I think that it is because you are not a good son. OR I don’t think because it because you are a good son. (Original meaning unclear. The first one is blaming the son for not talking to his parents, though.) While I talk to my parents everyday, my older brother doesn’t. He is still a very good kid, though. I am still the only kid in my family that gets scolded. It’s no problem, I’m not busy at all. I like to help you. OR I am not busy, so it is not a problem. I like helping you. Oh, so you and your friends went out this evening OR Oh, so your friends and you hung out this evening. (Second is informal.) I very much understand how you feel. Do you like to meet people? Except for when I am very tired, I like to meet new people. Speaking of meeting people...

She is engaged, but I am in love with her. I have never told her.?
She is engaged, but I am in love with her. I have never told her.?
Im in love with a girl who I now for 1 year, but I have not told her yet. She came from China to London when I was studying there and already had an american boyfriend (which she did not like) studying in London . I relocated to Scotland for a first class job and we are in touch by phone. I recently have heard from one of my friends, who live in London, that she is now engaged with her initial boyfriend. But she did not tell me when talking on phone. I never asked about it yet. I am now stable in Scotland and am in a position to tell her I love her. The thing is that she never talk about her boyfriend (or being engaged) when chating with me on the phone. Yesterday she sent me her CV to look for job for her in Scotland. I never have told her how much I love her and care for her because i did not want to make her confused. She had boyfriend all the time, and complained about him and his old fashion family back in HongKong. Last year she told me if she go with her boyfriend to HongKong she is never happy because his family treat her as a slave. She has to leave UK for good in 6 months because her student visa expires. Why she does not tell me that she is engaged? What shall I do? Is there still any hope? Im going to London next week for a short business trip.

You know her better than any of us could know. If you think you'll hurt her or confuse her or screw her up by telling her which could very well happen DON'T- it is selfish. But if you don't... then tell her.

I'm not being mean just serious here..... She didn't tell you cause she is a S L U T .... Stop being a home wrecker get some respect for your self and stop trying to go after some other guys girl. Would you really want a girl like that?.....Who uses people they are NOT in love with and tells them they ARE? What goes around comes around. It's called karma...... Go find a nice honest and single girl. That's what you should do. There is also a good chance she will be talking to other guys on the phone while she is with you..... 2nd chances never matter people never change.
