Not even reading thread.

I thought this was taught in middle school for christ sake.

slit eyes protect against wind/cold/sun. Hence, mongoloid.

oh jeez, now I'm a racist.

there are very distinct paths in human evolution dependant entirely on location/climate.

-edit- read thread. Get over it people. You have slits for eyes - that's who you are. Instead of being offended why don't you actually stand up and be proud of your culture/heritage instead of chastising others while hiding in a hole of fear.

Actually, it does add volume to your body. If you let your breath all the way out, you'll sink. But some people will sink whether they're holding their breath or not.

wow, misinformation abound (not you 911tz)

filling you lungs with air is the best way to float. And no, the body will not sink if the lungs are filled with air.

<---lifeguard and scuba diver - never seen anybody sink with lungs full of air...they just didn't take in enough air..

wow 4463 posts since joining on 3/2/2005 !!! That is 4463 posts in 130 days, or 34.33 posts per day. Assuming a post takes 1 minute to write, and that you also read for at least 5 minutes for every reply you post, you're spending about 6 minutes on ATOT per post, or 34.33 x 6 minutes = 205.98 minutes per day on reading and writing ATOT. Wow 3.5 hours per day just on ATOT. Assuming you sleep for 8 hours, and spend 2 hours on eating, cleaning and other self maintenance, you have 14 hours of waking time each day, so you're spending 25% of your life on ATOT.

i just underwent a surgery four days ago to remove the fat from my eyes to make them bigger.

it's the fat in the eyelids that make them smaller.

why are there more fat in their eyelids? i don't know.

Ignorance is what leads to racism. Fostering it by being offended at other people's natural curiosity and thus scaring them away from asking questions guarantees it.

Agreed. I don't know why everyone thinks that not talking about things makes them go away. It seems to me discussing these taboo topics in a open manner would be the path to progress. Sticking our heads in the sand isn't going to help solve any racial problems, its just going to drive it underground.

Explains why they can play videogames extremely well but suck at driving......

Funny thing, the last time I checked all the driving accident records around here, most, if not all, were from whiteys or bros/sistas.

What is the percentage of black/white people in your area versus asians?

I know...I've seen so many girls do it on my campus (which is over 50% asian btw...talk about culture shock when you first walk on it)

I still remember this one Korean girl in my chem lab..she looked so "fake" and I stared for like 5 minutes beceause I was thinking "WTF is she human...she looked like a doll"! Only later I realized it was her eyes, because surgeory REALLY made them large like an anime person.

I think girls that do that have a huge self confidence issue ;)

This site shows some people it really helped:

Yes its pretty much automatic ownage.

only when they're playing starcraft against you.

you know something's wrong when there's a channel dedicated to starcraft, cheetos comes with starcraft stickers, and when playing games is considered a sport.

God wanted variety on his planet. Thats why we are all different. We could have all been the same but that would have been boring. Plus we are also different to be able to live in different areas.
