South Koreans and North Koreans are a nationality. Koreans are an ethnicity and a race... aren't they?
I'm baffled because I'm sure this is true.

While I do feel like shit and I've even thrown up, I've never needed to be rushed to the hospital. I can't imagine progamers consistently getting less than 5-6 hours of sleep, which is what a lot of college students get. Maybe it's the body fatigue from working so hard during the day, although I still can't imagine SC to be that stressful either. Dude. Seriously, you'd be surprised. It's like chess where they had this final where a kasparov and karpov played for such a long period that karpov just collapsed or something? Not sure but I think thats what happens. Extremely heavy concentration at their level is seriously draining. | ||

I'm baffled because I'm sure this is true. Edit: Guess ill make a post actually on topic, I highly highly doubt this is just a case of over working. Lets face it, oovs been in the business a while. Hes older sure, but he knows his limits, and the consequences of pushing them. AFAIK hes never been rushed to the hospital before- very few have. I think silent control passed out once from lack of food, but thats it. I just dont see how, being a coach, an ex player, having all this experience and experienced people around him, he could so drastically mismanage his health. It's got to be something worse. My dads friend got an aneruysem in his brain just like, a week ago....similar symptoms. | ||

I thought Koreans could be categorized as a race. it's a nationality South Koreans and North Koreans are a nationality. Koreans are an ethnicity and a race... aren't they? I'm baffled because I'm sure this is true. Well this is interesting. My understanding of race has always been by the following definitions, taken from dictionary.com 1. "a group of persons related by common descent or heredity." 2. "an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups." 3. "any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race." 4. "a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race." In fact, I wouldn't regard "whites" or "blacks" as a race. That IS just skin color. At this point, I actually think your definition of "race" is misinformed, and possibly you're not the only one to be so mistaken. (no offense meant) At least that's finally solved. I couldn't help getting to the bottom of this. | ||

Lack of sleep and staring at a computer screen for too long seem to promote migraines for me as well. I hope it is just a migraine and not something more serious. | ||
