The fellows who stayed back in Mongolia proper were the dregs of their society. The place is still backwards, folks running yaks, doing subsistance hunting, all that sort of stuff. They are doomed to the fatalism inherent in Buddhism. The more aggressive sort of folk left there 800 years ago and never turned back!

Ack! So the ones who sallied forth to rape, slaughter and conquer the innocent were the better Mongols? Dude! What are you saying? And what has you so suddenly foaming at the mouth angry? You were quite civil for a while there. Why don't we just give it a rest for now, and I will concede whatever it was you were trying to say.

OK?

You have been foaming at the mouth all evening.
