Is kungfu a part of karate?
The term "Kung Fu" describes the martial arts of China, and there are literally hundreds, possibly over a thousand different empty-hand, and weapon styles. Karate refers to an Okinawa martial art that spread from there to Japan, Korea and the rest of the world. It is my personal opinion, Karate is better for modern day life because it takes less time to master and include more strikes then a lot of basic Chinese martial arts. If you want to become a martial arts master and a human weapon, then I would say Kung Fu, because of the enormous volume of styles available to you. Granted that you find a competent teacher.

Is southern shoalin better than northern shaolin?
You watched that Shaw Brothers movie didn't you? In case you didn't, I think its called "Invincible Shaolin," in which northern monks kill southern ones, or are tricked into killing them, and then southern monks seek revenge. In actual history, it is in fact the southern Shaolin temple which had the better win reccord, reason being southern China had a much larger popuation, and with it a larger talent pool. The effectiveness of either branch of Shaolin Kung Fu, as with all martial arts, is dependent mostly on the practitioner's own willpower, age, purity of heart and mind, and the guidance they receive more than anything. True some styles are more effective than others, but even a practical, relatively easy to learn method of fighting such as MMA for example will be ineffective if the practitioner is weak willed.
