Talk:Air Nomads/@comment-5109557-20120612224636

So here is my confusion.

Every other nations is built of both benders and non benders, except this one. The only people who are air nomads are air benders. The society is also made up of nuns and monks, and they live separated by gender.

So...

How are new benders born?

Bending is a genetic thing, meaning that Air benders can only come from air benders.

One may make the argument that Air bending is different and that an air bending child can be born to non air bending parents since its more of a spiritural than physical thing. if that is the case then why do we have a 100 year gap of no air benders being born? If air benders are born at random to people of all nations, then why were there no more benders born?

Also why is it that Tenzin and Pema have air bender children? It would have to be a genetic thing on order for them to have as many as they do.

Any ideas?
