The term "Gnostic" clearly refers to other than believers founded on original organic doctrine. I'm unaware of any "tear" (a question or research is a tear? interesting) Also, this thread is about U.S. military contingencies about China, btw. AFAIK you are free to post your own threads even if its to ask questions. If useful is your point, I'm not seeing that in your posts in this thread. Where are your 'useful' posts? What is useful to you might not be useful to others, right? So perhaps its up to you to create threads that help you gather that which is 'useful' to you?
