Quote from: CantankerousSaltbeardWell, *I* know Judo helped me out, AND I think it could help all of you out, too. I think you are probably still picked on now, and lack some self-confidence, but the Judo training that I HAVE received has made my mind as sharp of a killing machine as my body, and THAT experience is amazing. The confidence that you can kick the ASS of the weaker person makes it so that you don't always HAVE to do that in order to maintain your superiority. AND occasionally the weaker person will learn from you and start to make HIMSELF better. That is helping others, even if it is a hard lesson for some to learn.
On one hand, I wonder if it was Judo that let him pat himself on the back this hard without tearing his arm off.

Then I wonder if maybe his teacher needs a swift kick in the nuts if this is what this tool took from his classes.

You're a killing machine?

So, though guy, how many people have you killed? Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, provide dates, locations, and references, if possible.

And all the weaker person learns when you kick his ass for no reason is that your an asshole.

And I love how you feel the need to maintain superiority.

What are, five?

Quote from: CantankerousSaltbeardYes, that was a VERY clever thing to say, AND I'm glad that he has recognized the philosophy in my philosophy.

It's not about beating up the weak, it's about not being beaten up. If someone doesn't take measures to MAKE themselves stronger, how can they expect not to be on the short end of the stick?

I do NOT condone bullying or raping, but I think people need to take responsibility for themselves. When the woman dresses like a whore and goes drinking and drugging at a party, she's not acting responsibly or in her best interests, and if bad things happen, she must LEARN from the experience and become a better person.
Damn, this has to be an alt, and/or troll.

Had me going good until here.

No fuckstick in his right man really believes this shit.


Otherwise the "killing machine" will eventually end up in Attica being anally mastered by his cell-mate, and of course, he'll deserve it for not acting in his own best interest and ending up in asspounding prison.



ALmost had me, but you got sloppy.

Quote from: CantankerousSaltbeardI do not know of ANY Steven Seagal interviews, but if you have some I would like to read them...he is my favorite martial artist. I have seen all of his movies, and there's just so much confidence in his maneuvers...that's what I'm talking about. If bullies didn't have targets, they wouldn't be able to bully.

Here ya go, tough guy.  Here's a nice 10-page article about the esteemed Steven Seagal.  Its quite the interesting read, and if one considers your statement (emphasis mine), it might not be hard to understand where you're really coming from.

Okay, I can - mostly - follow this line of thinking.  Not condoning it, but understand.  This is the "Survival of the Fittest" thought process, right?  The one that goes - basically - you do what you need to do to survive?  I could be wrong here, but hope not.

So, let's take this idea and follow it to its logical conclusion.  Survival of the Fittest can't just mean being the biggest, baddest on the block.  If it did, wouldn't we see more agressive predators attacking anything, just because they can?  Hmm.  Perhaps.  However, it more than likely means that if Survival of the Fittest was about being the biggest, baddest on the block, than the T-Rex would still be around, stomping on the weaker species (like us) because its our fault we can't defend ourselves better....physically speaking.

Because, that's what your arguement is based on - physical traits and skills.  We're not really talking about Survival of the Fittest, because that means using all of your abilities - mental, physical, etc.  ALL.  Not just "I can do Judo."  I'm not sure that would work.

CSb: "I can do Judo!  I'm a killing machine!"
T-Rex: *Bite*
CSb: *Die*

I want a time machine so we can test my theory....

When the woman dresses like a whore and goes drinking and drugging at a party, she's not acting responsibly or in her best interests, and if bad things happen, she must LEARN from the experience and become a better person.

Hmm.  Let me hit the dictionary here...
Condone: : to regard or treat (something bad or blameworthy) as acceptable, forgivable, or harmless.

It sort of...does sound like you do CONDONE it to me - at least, from my understanding based of off the dictionary.  Of course, my dictionary could be different from yours....

As for the part about "a women dressing like a whore and goes drinking and drugging at a party, she's not acting responsibly or in her best interests, and if bad things happen, she must LEARN from the experience and become a better person" (quoted AGAIN just to reinforce the fact that if you ain't a troll, you're one of the reasons why Violent Crimes happen)....well, I'm pretty sure that's what those convicted for Rape use as a defense.  I could look it up, find a case file that proves it, but you know what....its too disturbing to do.

Instead, this is what I'm going to do.  I'm going to take my paycheck - the one that feeds my wife and 3 kids, not to mention gives them a roof over their heads - and I'm going to donate the entire FUCKING thing to my local Crime Victim Compensation Board.  You know why?  Because I must be a damn enabler, according to you.....you fucking waste of human DNA.

One final thought - Martial Arts are NOT taught to give you power over those weaker/less skilled than you.  If you don't mind - please verify the fact that you know Judo.  We can do so in one of two ways:

Option #1: Name, address, and all other contact information of your Sensei so that I can call him/her to verify that you did, in fact, learn there and that you were, in fact, not kicked out for being an asshat.  I'll also need your full name and the dates that you attended.  A picture of you would likewise be helpful, but not necessary.

Option #2: I will personally fly your ass to my dojo - round-trip, all expenses paid.  We'll spar.  If you can prove that you know Judo moves and not some fucked-up verison of Tae-Bo, I'll publically apologize and back you 100% (that you know Judo).  If, however, you don't know it - you leave.  That's it.  I seriously would like you to leave the Human Race, or even just NKL, but...that's not probably going to happen - so, you just leave my dojo and never, ever come back.

There's two options.

Fuck that, send me a round trip ticket, and we'll blow money on booze and strippers!

If you still want a fight, we'll pick one in the parking lot of the strip club, there's always people who like to fight in the parking lot!

Dude, didn't you see the address on that Crime Victim Compensation Board?  It's Michigan, man.  They don't fight in michigan, they just shoot your ass and hope your shoes and coat pawn for enough to buy a rock.

No, wait...  Lansing...  alright no, it's cool, you can fight.  :P

Shit, fly me too, and while we're there we can slide down to Toledo, I know where to pick some fights there. ;)

And, on the general subject of CSb..  can I point out that it's truely poetic that Segal is his idol, given the man it a pathological liar AND a registered asshat?  Sometimes life DOES work.

Fight you?  No thanks.  You're probably the dirtiest fighters here, and I'd rather have you at my back than your beer bottle in my face.

Strippers though?  Damn, that's mighty tempting.  However, we ain't got any good ones here.  How about I come there?

LOL - quoted for truth.  All of it.  Every single damn word...well, you can get rock in Lansing too.  At least, that's what Jez told me.

Quote from: WolvorineRep?

(What, I fess when I'm clueless!  :P)

A lot of boards have rep (i.e. reputation) where people can give others positive or negative rep. It's a nice way to give someone an "attaboy!" when they say something either cogent or funny. Or both.

It is a shame when those with inadequacies in real life must post things like that on the internet to make themselves feel better about themselves, Colonel Hardisson (are you a real colonel?).

No, I'm not a real colonel. It's a character I made up for a script I wrote back in film school.

I didn't post it to feel better about myself. I posted it because it's funny. Haven't you ever heard of Something Awful? It's pretty famous. Lighten up.
