LOL! That's funny.

I am the first on my Father's side to be born in the USA, second on my Mother's side (my cousin beat me by a week). Anyways, my brothers(two younger) are first generation Chinese.

As Americanized as we are(my closest friends call me a banana...see if you get that one), we definitely still have some old world culture in us.

Anyways...to the point....once in a while a couple of old high school friends of mine and I have philosophical discussions on how we are doing, goals, what's next, etc., and every now and then one will stop me a say "hold on, you are getting way to Confucious".

As far as speaker company owned forums go, I think the combination of activity and openess on this one is the best. We are pretty good on the Ascend forum too...but it is not owned by Ascend and does not get nearly as much activity as this one(I don't think the little server we pay for could handle it).
