Hey is that burger place any good? Never been.

Once again I wheeled a body in a casket around the Old Chapel. I'm not joking.

Hmmm, I'm so assinine that I don't even know any more.

I'm never suprised, I know I am getting fisted.

Enter the BJJ Pan-ams in April and not get totally stomped. Tolerate my job for another 2 years. (Not likely) Keep training hard.

Heaven forbid you share friendly conversation with like minded individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

I can vouch for the insane drivers in DC. Any time I feel daring enough to hoof it down to the metro I nearly get killed.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Epid3mic [/i] [B]That exactly like saying war is started because one person thinks they are right and the other thinks they are right. If it wasn't beliefs, it would something else, so don't try to blame human nature on religion, thanks. Of course war is generally unpleasant, but like others have said, it's our nature. When we can't or don't want to do the right thing, we often try to take the easy way out, aka, violence. I'm not trying to justify war, but no matter how many rally's, protests, or debates, it's not going anywhere.:( [/B][/QUOTE] It's far too usefull of a tool for the powers at be to abolish. Man will always fight for power gain, control and gratification, often to horrifying extents.

I think hate is merely a spark, that starts the proverbial fire. Many factors are involved to give a war the feel of "legitimacy" whatever the case might be, in order to justify/rationalize the means.

Now I do agree with this philosophy Phantom, yet we live a very sensitive and "politicaly correct" world. A world in which that very survival factor has all been eliminated, leaving some dinosaur like myself useless.

Spike is a JKD artist, his references of the art's philosophy can be seen in Waltz for Venus, when he is teaching Roco. As for the art itself, it really isn't a tangible art per se. It's more like a path... I could type for a while but I'd rather spare you all from the ranting.

On top of all the unnecessary death and destruction, the billions that are spent could be used for so much more beneficial things. The amount of money currently being spent on this war is staggering.

Submission Wrestling and Muay Thai for me. I think I'm the first to mention these...I'm too lazy to look.
