I noticed. I was actually expecting more personificatio n from you of the tree. More than just the first sentence.
I said start because you said attempt.
No, I got the branch. I guess you meant for it to be something subtle yet important.
Good start. I felt all over the place though. What were you trying to describe? The branch, squirrels, or your feelings? Maybe just an ordinary day or something that's been consistent like a part of your life? Just trying to get the main point out of this.
Poor guy. I hope he sues them.
Wow, really?!
Is this the best the PH has to offer? So many bash 18 Xeem, but they know so little about it. Many of you are truly desktop expert. The vice president of 18 Xeem is actually a female. Get the facts straight before you open your mouth. Now doesn't that make you look and sound foolish. With a simple statement, all your bashing becomes completely obsolete.
Here is how you bash 18 Xeem:
1) Ridicule them on their stupidity of making rules when the Constitution already has rules to govern all its citizen. If 18 Xeem contest or object, denounce your citizenship and leave this country.
2) The credentials of the members are laughable, at best. The vice president is just a mere teacher. What qualifications does she have to create laws. Certainly, a BS in political science is a start; but to be taken seriously, you need a Ph.D.
3) As the members if another Hmong person violate them, are they happy with the guidelines set by their counsel. Really, $5,000 gives you the license to fornicate any woman. I will take you to the legal system and see how much damage I can sue you for.
4) There are so many other ways to bash them. I understand your frustration with their self-appointed righteousness. If you are going to attack them, you must do so intelligently. Expose all their flaws and stupidity. The title of your thread says "Exposing Hmong 18 Counsel Clan". Thus far, I've just seen superficial conjectures. You need to dig deeper and have something concrete to base your opinions. Systematically tear them down one piece at a time. When there is methodology to your discourse, others will not think that you are just a mad lunatic. I hope that you will do more than just criticize them on PH. I want to be there in person when this happens. Keep me posted.
Why are there no women in 18 clan? At lease as co chair of each clan.
It's astonishing to understand that the Hmong community allows 18 old men to control and decide how we should communicate and think. Us, being the younger generation who study and learned through the American education system; we have to shut up and listen to these 18 members decide what is best for us.
We allow these old farts with little to no education to advise our problems/issues and life. These 18 counsel member have no knowledge of American History. What they understand is the ways of the Hmong traditions and how they can apply that to American rules and regulations.
The 18 counsel members don't represent 18 hmong clans. They represent greed; they exploit the hmong culture and profit through the hmong ignorance. The Hmong community is very secretive. Hmongs like to keep their problems within their community/family. The reason for 18 counsil is to have Hmongs report abuse and dysfunctional activity. 18 counsil is just another filter to block these activities from ever going "public." Hmongs dont like losing face so they will always keep things hush-hush. 18 counsil helps them with doing that. Hmong 18 counsel are the best "Sweet talkers" - what I mean by sweet talk is they sugar coat everything. Manipulating and using calm, soft words to bring a temparory solutions to the problem but never solving it.
They present themselves as being fair to the hmong community but yet give no respect to hmong women. They will not allow a woman to represent them as a counsel member. These are barriers that needs to be address but will not because they feel the need to control and supress our community. Instead of creating an "organization" to help the hmong community, what 18 counsel does is create another "barrier." Especially hmong women and children, they are the ones suffering.
"UA NEEB" to me is a shaman ways to find out what caused that person to get sick and how to cure him/her. Now days, we live in an era where there are many illness and diseases that can not be cure by a shaman's ritual such as; AIDS, cancer, hypetitus, Tuberculosis and many others. These kind of illness can not be cure unless one seek help from doctors and take the right medications for it. Even with the right medication, it can only slow down the illness and not completely cure it.
But what I don't get it is that many families still practice shamanism's ritual to cure these kind of illness. And it can be costly too.
To my knowledge, Hmong currently have four writing systems.
1. Hmong Latin
2. Hmong Pahaw
3. Hmong Lo Fong
4. Hmong Paj Ntaub
If we Hmong have to choose one to represent us, which one would you choose and why? This is a simple question that require simple answer,so please stop fighting like cat and dog. Thank you.
