Its also the OPs basic assertion that "its the most violent sport". Says who. You? Hahahahaha riiiight. As has been stated previously there are way more sports with deadly and traumatic force being used. And those arent BANNED. NASCAR for example. Drivers outright crash and die in that sport but its not banned. But hey, I'm just going by the OP's whacked out criteria.

Now this is comedy gold:


to the OP:

I sorry you didnt enjoy your 3 free classes at Kim's Karate in the mall. Really I am. Because if you had any heart or dedication at all you might understand the testicular fortitude it takes to compete. I studied BJJ in the ARMY and I competed in Judo for 7 years and left the sport Nationally Ranked. "pure violence" you say? That's pure ignorance. And you obviously know nothing of the DISCIPLINE that the combat sports are really all about. No one is brainwashing anyone except you.

I can see from your blatant ignorance that you have no idea what you are talking about and you can respond with all the "internet-tough-guy" talk you want but it doesn't change the fact that you are basing a fantastically broad falsehood based on your very limited experience.

MMA isn't about bashing someones head in. Choking someone out isn't trying to kill them. You claim to have had martial arts experience and to have been an "instructor" (whatever THAT means) and you obviously have not. Otherwise you'd know that the rear naked choke (thats the actual name for it by the way) would have to be applied for far longer than would EVER BE ALLOWED IN REGULATED,SUPERVISED, COMPETITION in order to take a life.

and on a side note: Go watch the history channel, or read a book, or go to the friggin library. Violence IS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE a part of life. Deal with it. Or stay home and watch the Disney channel because that seems to be all you can handle of reality.

Good day.

Affliction will absolutely scoop her up. And Santos. They'd be stupid not to.

WORD

Well ignorance is pretty dangerous too. It can make other wise well meaning people make really stupid assumptions.

Good thing we have all these nice FACTS lying around...like this one for instance:

* PROP. 8 DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SCHOOLS

There’s NOT ONE WORD IN 8 ABOUT EDUCATION. In fact, local school districts and parents—not the state—develop health education programs for their schools.

NO CHILD CAN BE FORCED, AGAINST THE WILL OF THEIR PARENTS, TO BE TAUGHT ANYTHING about health and family issues. CALIFORNIA LAW PROHIBITS IT.

And NOTHING IN STATE LAW REQUIRES THE MENTION OF MARRIAGE IN KINDERGARTEN!

edit: "Can you just smell the truthy-ness ?" - Stephen Colbert

I just saw one of those!
No... wait... that was just Amy Winehouse... nevermind.

ALSO: This has jack sh!t to do with Political affiliation so stop trying to make it a partisan issue because ITS NOT.

Well... that is unless you just admitted that the Reps have been completely infiltrated and corrupted by the Catholic special interests and strayed away from what they used to represent. But thats ok, you dont have to actually say it, not when its so painfully obvious. But its nice know you're not completely delusional Quickstepper.

Cute Girls + Beer = good times

New Belgium rocks.
Have you tried the Tripel yet?
Not for lightweights.

Thats a nice off-topic pyramid you guys are building there...

Mmmm yummy yummy facts:

PANCAKES

Didnt anyone see "Defending Your Life"

Meryl Streep, Albert Brooks. great film.

Chickens taste better.
Humans are all salty and tough. yuck.

Hahahaha, I saw that one too... those kids loved their teacher and wanted to show their support. And that was a nice left jab that the kids parents signed off on it.

Too bad the Hate-mongers just cant understand what equality and acceptance means.

The more love in this world the better, so why is it right to legislate hate and intolerance backed by a non-tax paying religious organization.

Answer: Its not. And the California Supreme Court ruled the original prop 22 to be unconstitutional. Which it is. Deal with it.

Thanks for the heads up. Next time I will address it as you recommended.

And just throwing this out there, it would help if there was a list of the mods, and/or a general idea of when you guys are on duty.

Edit: Oh and Charles...you were the BOMB in "Phantoms"

And usually that control is propagated through fear.

Also I dont see anything in this Proposition about teaching kids about gays. Not that there is a damn thing wrong with it, so long as the parents have the right to CHOOSE if there kids will include it in their curriculum.

Sorry good sir, but I have no subjects by the name of Joan or Joanie.
But I wish you luck in your quest for your damsel.

For it?
Against it?
Bring it.

BACKGROUND

In March 2000, California voters passed Proposition 22 to specify in state law that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. In May 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that the statute enacted by Proposition 22 and other statutes that limit marriage to a relationship between a man and a woman violated the equal protection clause of the California Constitution. It also held that individuals of the same sex have the right to marry under the California Constitution. As a result of the ruling, marriage between individuals of the same sex is currently valid or recognized in the state.
PROPOSAL

This measure amends the California Constitution to specify that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. As a result, notwithstanding the California Supreme Court ruling of May 2008, marriage would be limited to individuals of the opposite sex, and individuals of the same sex would not have the right to marry in California.

Discuss... intelligently please.

Its pretty funny how terrified the catholic crazies are about their kids being taught to accept and respect people.

The real reason prop 8 scares the crap out of you is that it interferes with your teaching them to HATE and be INTOLERANT of others who live differently. Sorry that EDUCATION interferes with your programming of bigotry into young impressionable minds that dont know any better yet.

Questioning the veracity of authority is the responsibility of anyone that wants to think for themselves and NOT just be LED down a path of ignorance, BLINDLY following dogmatic falsehoods.

Ever stop and think about how YOU were raised. And that if you weren't taught the things you were taught to believe, you might think differently now, than if you had had those beliefs PROGRAMMED into you when YOU were a kid.

Even better I actually live IN San Diego.
And believe me, I do worry about the education of kids who's parents think California gets earthquakes because of gay marriage.

You should try picking up one of those evil science books filled with evil facts about the San Andreas Fault and continental drift.
