    I don't think he's Asian. He just lives in China.

    Doesn't that mean you'll become an Asian through osmosis?

    I was born and raise in New Orleans. My ethnic background is mostly French with German. (a touch of Irish). My wife is Chinese (50/50 Han and Manchu from the "Northeast."
    My son can understand both Chinese and English, but speaks "Chinglish" LOL

    Thank you PikeStance for explaining! I am glad that your son gets to grow up bilingual. They say it is beneficial beyond the obvious advantage of knowing two languages.

    As for the Asian part, I can apparently no longer trust my own judgment. I guess I must believe in Turkafinwe's osmosis theory

    There's a saying in Rome, as old as the Republic

    "It doesn't matter from where are you from, when you get to live in Rome, you becomes invariably a Roman"

    maybe it's the same with China

    All roads lead to Rome. And a good few of them come from China, so going the other way checks out

    Well, not me, I am guessing. I know almost no Chinese ( my son knows more than me) and I only use chopsticks if I have no other options.

    Akar with an AK is just illegal. Can you even handle the recoil?

    Yeah it has quite a kick to it. I got a bruise on my shoulder from shooting a 1-2 hundred rounds through it lol

    Nah, no military service - they wouldn't let someone like me in .

    Yeah it pained me a bit to go through that much ammo but it was a hell of a fun day we had out there, even if I went through 100 or so dollars worth of ammo lol.

    And yeah, the baldness is coming :/

    well in general military service is a waste of time, but at the least you can learn how to hold a rifle without it breaking your shoulder

    When you're shooting 7.62 it's gonna kick like a motherer whether you've had military training or not.

    lol you should try the FN FAL then, that's the rifle I used most when servicing

    Most of fun was with the FN Minimi, anyways

    Ugh I've always wanted to shoot one of those. I can't justify dropping the 1.5-2k on one though. They're one of my favorite guns of all time.

    And I bet that minimi was a hell of a lot of fun

    Cool! You’re probably a better shot then me!

    What pistol do you use? I have two Smith and Wesson 9mm and a Smith and Wesson MP 15 (AR-15).
