Tet is a moron.
Plain and simple.
What logic - that because one person holds to something someone else had also held long ago, they were therefore influenced by that earlier person.
I had this exact conversation with a racist the other day.
At one point, I mentioned that it was only logical that one race would have had to come up with aspects of military warefare on their own way back when Continents faced the extreme limitations of travel and communication we now take for granted, as such did not exist.
That merely the context of repeated battle with their neighbors could not but result in their having to come up with ways of battle very similar to other cultures on the other side of the globe - simply because reality forces that on human beings.
The idiot replies no, that they got that from (his preferred race).
The idiot has a Bible on his shelf, along with some other books; including some on martial arts.
I grab the Bible, and a book on "Karate sticks" (two sticks held together by a cord).
I turn to where the OT talks about the threshing instrument the ancient Israelites used in their wheat fields, and so on.
I turn to the history of the Nunchaku (Karate Sticks) in his book about that.
There, in black and white it says its ancient origin was in Okinawa, where it had been used to thresh wheat and rice, until the Japanese conquered them and confiscated their weapons.
Their solution? Their threshing instrument as a weapon with a built in excuse as to why they were walking around with it.
Two peoples world's apart having ended up with a similar instrument. Each's similar use due the similar context life finds all human beings in at times.
I pointed that out to that idiot to no avail.
THAT is Tet, IP, and their endless ilk.
It is actually an insult to one to have to stoop down to their level of books based "dumb" not only in order to point out a relatively simple matter to these morons, but to no avail, each time out :chuckle:
