OUCH

[Royal Dragon]

Did he clock himself in the nads with the handle?

I slow'moed it, and i can't see that he did anything to cause himself pain.

Looks like it bounced a bit harder than he anticipated, but the handle went into his gut, nothing that should have taken him out.

He's either a faker, or the biggest wuss on TV.

[KWUsCRD]

^ The tip stuck him in the ribs.

Thank you IronFist, that definatly got a laugh outta me.

[truewrestler]

yeah, the tip

...hey, I don't have sound... what is he saying? something about them being tough? what a piece of ****

[Liokault]

...hey, I don't have sound... what is he saying? something about them being tough? what a piece of ****

Nope he says:

Owch...that hurts a lot.......ow that really hurts....really hurts etc.

[Royal Dragon]

The TIP??? How?? It was facing the other way!

[Royal Dragon]

I see it now!! The blade broke and bounced back at him!!!!!!

[Gangsterfist]

Hmm that was a high quality blade.

[GeneChing]

See what you get with cheap samurai swords? Here's our new cheap samurai sword (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/3514.html) - it is an aluminum blade, but it shouldn't snap like that. That must have been straight up pot metal...

[KC Elbows]

They just set the atomic clock by the interval between this thread being posted and Gene's plug.:D

[PHILBERT]

Gene, it says on the side, 440 Stainless Steel. They are punch pressed, and that pretty much is what happens when hit against a strong, resisting object. Those are for decoration/wall mounting, not training.

[Royal Dragon]

I have a few 440 Stainless blades, that I beat the snot out of with out a problem. These were less than 440. Maybe it was freakishly defective, I don't know. I wouldn't trust them in a sword against sword, especially if the other sword was ATS 34, or 1095, or something, but still 440 is not all that bad.

[PHILBERT]

Royal Dragon, it says on the video that it is a 440 stainless steel. Funny part is that there was a life time warranty for it. 440 and 420 are known for there shattering. Not all do it, but alot do. My friend has one that he beats the crap out of, and it won't break. I've seen one, virtual identical, break. I also saw one, the blade broke off the handle (the pegs on the inside broke) and the blade itself shot out, but did not break. You could of picked it up and put it back in the handle and fixed it.

[Gangsterfist]

He should have bought a sword from here:

^ That's dangerous. I heard about some kid or something who was impaled at a tournament by a sword that broke and the blade flew out. It wasn't even a sharp sword. I think they said the kid died.


twit on bike

omg!!! At first I thought his face hit the bricks, but I think his face may have actually landed in the grass or plants behind the bricks, so that's not quite as bad, unless there were spikey plants or something back there. Ouch!

[BentMonk]

I wish I could've gotten it on vid, but this is still a good one. I had a friend who was a legend in his own mind. He spent more time talking about how hard he used to train than actually training. He was spinning a combat steel, surgically sharp katana. As he was showing off for the local pre-teens and enjoying their looks of awe, he drops the sword. It falls straight back on him, and pierces his side. It almost took out his liver. He ended up with a bunch of stitches, and one hell of a scar. It cut the shiat out of his obliques and such. It is true, God watches over the stupid. :D

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

It is true, God watches over the stupid.

and luckily the kids that time as well.

The brilliance of the katana breaking off into the guy video was when the second guy comes in to say, "We may need emergency surgery in the studio," a banner scrolls across the bottom part of the screen, gleefully saying, "We accept visa, mastercard, etc."

I saw it - while I can understand complaints, it wasn't as bad as everyone makes it seem - it was about a 3 second shot, and she had some type of glitter covering her nipple up - like a pasty or something. That link that was poster here isn't working for me though.

[anton]

I believe the correct term is a nipple shield (https://webspace.utexas.edu/mgm55/jjtcloseup.jpg)

To tell you the truth I don't see how anyone could find a woman's breast offensive. You see people breastfeeding in public all the time.

[rubthebuddha]

it's the united states, and we're offended by any sexuality that isn't deliberately thrust in our face. that was "accidental," and thus the FCC will get its panties in a bunch.

for most football fans i know, the only real complaint was that it was a twat like timberlake who got to do it.

[Chang Style Novice]

This may come as a shock, but breasts - and for that matter nipples - have absolutely no sexual function whatsoever.

[backbreaker]

Does Janet Jackson normally wear nipple covers? Or was it planned?

[Meat Shake]

She always wears nipple covers due to the constant pulling off of her top. Happens everywhere the poor lady goes.

I think he meant direct sexual function... In which case they are about as useful as the neck, ears, or back of the knees... Or any one of the many other E.Z.'s (no, not the restaraunt).

thats a nipple ring...it has a stud going through the middle of it.

Is that those things they stick on to the nipples? All the strippers I know end the show wearing nothing... the pastie isn't a big thing around these parts. What JJ had is another thing altogether. She was wearing one of these (http://www.andromeda-nyc.com/nipple2.html) - these babies are made of metal and specifically designed to beattached via piercing.

[Chang Style Novice]

I wrote sexual function, not erotic function. My word choice was quite deliberate.

Communication is much more effective when you respond to what someone actually says instead of what you imagine them to say.

For the record, I like nipples (and playing with them, and stimulation of my own) as much as anyone.

[IronFist]

Um, what exactly do you mean by "sexual" function?

Nipples are the medium through which milk is delivered. That's related to reproduction, which is kind of "sexual," yes?

Ooh, I need a drink.

[GeneChing]

...with nipple sheilds on the way. Sorry I'm late to this one, boys, I'm been busy. Those nipple shields remind me of these (http://store.martialartsmart.net/16-13.html) (time to set your atomic clock again). Man, now there's a market we need to explore, ninja nipple shields. If only I could get Janet to model....:p

As for 440 stainless steel, 440 is a hardness grade, we even sell some 440 stainless swords (http://store.martialartsmart.net/35-23.html). But realisitcally speaking, it's a hardness used for surgical steel, and not really relevant when your talking swords. Surgical steel, like scalpels, need to e extremely sharp of course, but the price of that sharpness is that they can also be brittle. For a scalpel, that's not a problem. For a sword, it is. This is not to say that 440 stainless doesn't make good sword steel, it may, but just because it's 440 doesn't speak to its flexibility. In essence, 440 could hold a great edge, but it might snap against a table. The funny thing is that the idea of 440 stainless being superior sword steel is so ingrained in the US sword buying market, that if it's 440, you got to state that as a sell point, even though it's not overly relevant to it's performance as a sword blade.

[wushu chik]

Man marries dog for luck - then dies
From correspondents in Kathmandu
February 5, 2004

A 75-year-old man in Nepal married a dog in a local custom to ensure good luck only to die three days later, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

With his son and other relatives by his side, Phulram Chaudhary tied the knot with a dog Saturday in Durgauli village in the southwestern Kailali district.

He was following a custom of his Tharu community which holds that an old man who regrows teeth must take a dog as a bride.

"He believed that this would help him avoid great misfortune later in life. However, he died a few days afterward," the state-run daily Gorkhapatra said.

[joedoe]

Well, that custom obviously doesn't work

[Xebsball]

[GeneChing]

Ninja Nipple Shields Gene??? That might almost be worth buying!!! wushu chik, you're a princess of the martial world when you say stuff like that. you go girl


btw, I was thinking of deleting the link earlier that actually showed Janet's offending teat, but then I harkened back to my cardinal rule about forum porn, that "this is a family show". Well, so is the superbowl. So now I don't know what the ethical call should be.

[MasterKiller]

Gene,
The Superbowl didn't approve of the nipple display; hence the controversy. Janet added that into the act without the knowledge of the NFL. Because the SuperBowl is a family show, they never would have allowed it.

Yup, and Hooters is suppose to be a 'family' resturaunt......

[Chang Style Novice]

Have I been stuttering or something? Let me break it down simply:

Tits are for kids!

[wushu chik]

HAHA- Thanks Gene ;)

Well, honestly, I really didn't see anything wrong with it. Janet just ****ed in peoples cornflakes. That's all. It was an unexpected surprise, and the only reason people are ****ed is because they don't look as good as her at her age ;).

If you wanna talk "family shows", kids see MORE T & A on cartoons. It's your call Gene, but I really don't see much wrong with it. It's a breast, a glorified baby bottle. WTF CARES!!!

And as for Hooters? I don't see anything wrong with Hooters at all! I can see the same large breasted women walking around the mall in LESS than the girls at hooters! Jeez...people make this stuff sound like it's scandalous....when in fact, sex sells, and that's how the world goes. Get over it!

[BentMonk]

Wushu Chik is officially my new hero :D Preach on sista preach on...amen :D

[wushu chik]

LOFL, thanks BentMonk!

Seriously, as a female, I find nothing wrong with this stuff. Janet's posed nude a million times, bean bare chested (with the exception of some guys hands) on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, and if memory serves me correctly, I believe she posed for Playboy! Why does this really surprise everyone? It's not really a big deal!

I've worked at a strip club waiting tables (was pregnant and wasn't gonna strip ;)..) I've been to Hooters numerous times (the one in Long Beach used to have the BEST Buffalo wings) and I've gone to strip clubs NUMEROUS times with boyfriends I've had. The female body is NOTHING to be ashamed of, nor is it something to completely destroy a person's career about. Justin & Janet made a mistake that was completely within the realm of what we see on TV daily! Not only that, but it's not like they had the close up's that we see on the net of her breast with the nipple shield. It took like a second and a half for the cams to cut away!

People seriously need to get over it and move on. Go to Paris...you walk down the street and see their billboards of Nude women constantly! Who cares!

[Chang Style Novice]

The conspiracy theorist in me says - hey, maybe she's trying to deflect some of the media heat away from her brother.

the two situations are way too different for it to make sense at all. i mean if he had gotten a dui or something it might work, but he's in a class all by himself at this point.

[wushu chik]

LOL GDA-
That could be true, but you also have to think about the way the family is thinking. Desperate times call for desperate measures right? This could have been one way for maybe HER to help in some way!

Of course, it's just gonna make the whole family look MORE insane...if that's even possible ;)

The female body is NOTHING to be ashamed of, nor is it something to completely destroy a person's career about. Nothing wrong with my wiener, either, but I doubt people want it bouncing around their TV screens while their kids are watching. If Justin had exposed himself, or even had a "sock" on, I doubt you would be singing "freedom" from the rooftops.

I saw it when it happened, and I couldn't tell she had a pastie on until everyone blew the picture up. It looked like a naked boob.


you walk down the street and see their billboards of Nude women constantly! Who cares! Women in Nigeria get stoned for sleeping around, too. Who Cares!

Individual countries have individual moralities, so bringing France into the equation is as stupid as me mentioning Nigeria. Here and now, in America, I don't particularly want my kids seeing Justin rip off Janet's bra and exposing her 40 year-old tit as he sings "I'll ave you naked by the end of this song." Within that context, they were not speaking about "glorified milk bottles."

It's bad enough you can't listen to the radio without being exposed to constant sexual language and profanity. Save the boob shots for HBO and late night MTV.

[Gangsterfist]

MaterKiller-

All your points are good and valid, but they are still your opinion. You must realize your views are not the same as everyone else. Some parents may not have minded it, because their view is not to be ashamed of the human body. Obviously that is not yours, and you have the absolute right to raise your kids how you see fit; and I respect that right.

Sex and violence sells. It is part of our society today. Whether you like it or not its here to stay. Do you think kids would play video games that did not have action/violence/sexual content? Probably not. Same goes for movies, books, etc etc.

If you don't like something then don't watch it.

Now the superbowl is suppose to be a family event to watch. So I say the whole event might have been distasteful. Hooters is suppose to be a family resturaunt, and it clearly protrays women as objects. People still take their families there. So there are grey lines in certain situations.

[MasterKiller]

So there are grey lines in certain situations. True. But everyone knows what a Hooters is before they take their kids in. That's a personal choice. I didn't know Janet was gonna expose herself, and I'd rather not have my 8 year-old daughter see women treated like that if I can avoid it.

FWIW, I didn't appreciate Nelly's croch rubbing either.

I have 2 girls that I feel shouldn't be exposed to certain things at their young age. BUT...just because violence and sex sell doesn't mean it should be marketed to kids.

[Meat Shake]

Ok... But its ok for them to talk about 4 hour erections?
This **** is driving me nuts. How in the fizucking hizell can you ***** about a tit, but not be enraged about commercials of old men throwing footballs through a tire and talking about 4 hour erections!???
Yes, the tire may be over the heads of 8 most year olds, but Im sure there are quite a few that understood the innuendo perfectly.

Edit: Nelly gets my respect cause he was the only one not lip synching.
Other than that, all of the artists in the halftime show sucked. Nelly sucks too, he just gets credit for actually singing.

[MasterKiller]

I didn't see any cocks bouncing around my screen, and I can easily explain why men need medicine. What I can't explain is why women choose to portray themselves as sexual victims when I'm trying to instill in these girls a little self-respect.


Nelly WAS lip syncing, there bronco. Kid Rock actually used his own voice.

[Meat Shake]

"just because violence and sex sell doesn't mean it should be marketed to kids."

In the current national market, the tween group (ages 9-13) are the ones who make most of the house hold purchasing decisions. Parents bend and sway to their nagging wants. Ill dig up the link if you want...
So, in a way, marketing said violence and sex to children would be more or less milking the largest portion of the market.
Wrong? To most people.
Does it happen, and will it continue to happen? Unquestionably.

And most strippers I know have always been MORE THEN HAPPY to let people know they were strippers. Why?? Because they don't feel that the human body is ANYTHING to be ashamed of.

But it's not just HBO and late nite MTV. It's constant. You have cartoons and kids movies that have CONSTANT SEXUAL INUENDOS in them. Yeah, kids may not understand them, but adults sure can.

I'm sorry that I struck a nerve, again it's JUST MY OPINION. As yours is yours. I do agree with many comments that you made, as well as I stand by mine. I do not feel that it was such a HUGE deal that they're making out of it. Bono said the F word on tv, and everyone and their brother came unglued. Nobody's perfect, and when the world starts to figure that out, it'll only get better from there!!!

[Meat Shake]

"What I can't explain is why women choose to portray themselves as sexual victims when I'm trying to instill in these girls a little self-respect."


Victim????
You mean exhibitionist?

If its that easy to explain medicine, it should be easy to explain personal decisions and career choices, and that a human body is a beautiful thing, not the sin filled lust bubble that the strongly christian nation makes it out to be.
Look at michael angelo's scupture. Its a naked man. Its in the name of art, music is art, inadvertantly janet jacksons breast can be viewed as such.
Your glass is either half full, or half empty.

I agree 1000000% about instilling self-respect into your girls, and I commend you for that, since a lot of parents don't do that. IMHO, when it comes to explaining why these women choose to portray themselves like this, I would just tell them it's because that's how THEY choose to get attention, but you feel it's wrong. It's hard to find good parents now adays MK, and I think it's great that you're looking out for your girls.

There are MANY things I will not allow my boys to watch or listen to. My worry is that they'll grow up looking at the pop culture morons and think that's HOW they're supposed to treat women, but then it comes back to the parents to teach them right from wrong, and as long as you're doing that....there's not much more you CAN do!

[MasterKiller]

Victim????
You mean exhibitionist? SHE DIDN't expose herself--he ripped her clothes off, and she stood their "stunned." That's not exhibitionist, it was rape fantasy.


If its that easy to explain medicine, it should be easy to explain personal decisions and career choices, and that a human body is a beautiful thing, not the sin filled lust bubble that the strongly christian nation makes it out to be.I agree. But there is also negative sexual imagery. I mean, my girls are beautiful, but that doesn't mean 8 year-olds should be paraded naked on TV.

Your glass is either half full, or half empty.Context. It's all about context.

[anton]

In Australia they were still showing unblurred footage of the event on daytime tv a couple of days ago, even after all the outrage in the US. I still don't get what the big deal is. It's pretty common to go to the beach and see topless women. Its not uncommon to see women breast-feeding in public. Kids in some parts of Africa and South America grow up from childhood seeing men and women of all ages completely naked, and it doesn't seem to do them any harm. Personally I think the attitude that children should not be allowed to see a breast is far more likely to cause them to have unhealthy attitudes to parts of the human body and sexuality then one saggy old boobn could ever do.
I do see your point about violent imagery, but I still think that's a rather long bow to draw.

[rubthebuddha]

i think a lot of it is about expectation in the first place. you watch NYPD blue, you know what it's about, and they warn you that certain things will be shown. you watch the superbowl, you expect football and all that goes along with it. you see a halftime show, and you expect ****ing crappy music and retarded performances. those, we got, but we also got the unexpected -- boob. not just is it unexpected, it's expected to NOT be there.

for the record, it wasn't a pasty, either. it was a piercing that only hid the areola, not the nip. regardless, it didn't matter. the networks have specific guidelines, and one of the reasons to rehearse (other than practice) is to give other people a chance to critique. jackson and timberlake added that piece in at the last minute, thus deviating from behavior that was already approved. any fault lies specifically with them, and i wouldn't be disappointed if criminal or civil charges were brought.

sounds prissy, i know, but if i ripped my girlfriend's shirt in public and booby fell out, i could get charged if one person saw it. now if 100 million saw it?

of course, then that begs the question of how many people actually pay attention to the halftime show? the same 100 million? not bloody likely.

Seriously, you think MTV would wanna lose a gig like that? Highly unlikely. And to say that Justin wanted the attention on him...where do you get your info? Talk to him on the phone recently???

GDA - I agree that Wacko Jacko is in a class by himself when it comes to berzerk celebs, but let me ask you this - have you seen him on the news since last Sunday?

*Meat Shake Speaking*

"SHE DIDN't expose herself--he ripped her clothes off, and she stood their "stunned." That's not exhibitionist, it was rape fantasy."


She did expose herself. It was planned, and quite obviously so. It was a "tear away" top, otherwise the whole top would have gone and she would have been chaffed by the outfit.


"Context. It's all about context."

Context can be percieved, thus intrapersonally changed from positive from negative.
:p

[Chang Style Novice]

The fact that it was clearly a pre-planned performance doesn't change the fact that it was also clearly a rape fantasy.

[Serpent]

For ****'s sake, it was just a tit!

[rubthebuddha]

actually, as was discussed in a different thread, a tit isn't required to do anything for ****'s sake. ;)

not like it was a fantastic boob, either.

[@PLUGO]

I wonder if J.J used that 440 steal sword for her piercing . . .

[GeneChing]

delete the teat?

I can always go back and change that link to www.martialartsmart.com ;)

[anton]

No, theres nothing inherently offensive about a breast. But if the puritans win, then change it to a martialartsmart link.

[joedoe]

The generally puritanical attitude of the US always amazes me. I mean, I believe in a basic level of decency but surely there is nothing wrong with someone briefly baring a breast (like my alliteration? :)). Men are allowed to walk around in public without a shirt, so why is it so bad for women to do the same? ;)

[CaptinPickAxe]

Janet was obviously going for a publicity stunt. When Brittany's record sales dropped what did she do? Had a "slip-up" during a Teen's Choice Award. And in my opinion, thats a lot worse than Super Bowl. I doesn't make it right, but you are attacking the lesser of two evils. Either a bunch of prepubecents watching their idol bare herself for publicity, or a bunch of old men watching a washed up pop diva trying to regain a shred of her former greatness. What will have a more devestating effect on our youth? I'll let you be the judge...

masterkiller is a stupid puritan punk ass ***** afraid of the beautiful female body and her right to expose it whenever the time seems appropriate to her.

ok .... i think anyone who's read a single post of mine can guess which side of the fence i stand on, but i don't like seeing mk fight this fight alone. he never said his kid was traumatized or that he was taking her to counseling because she saw a booby. he didn't even say that it was the worst thing that she was exposed to that day. he did say that it was wrong for janet and that one guy to intentionally do something like that at a completely inappropriate time. america bash the issue all you want but the fact remains that america doesn't currently want boobies in that context on prime time tv. had it happened at the mtv music awards fine, but it wasn't the mtv music awards and they both were well aware of the audience they were entertaining. it's no what they did, it's when and how they did it.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

cpa ...

if i said janet ... in any context ... and was referring to janet jackson then it obvisouly worked.

[Serpent]

Every time your president appears on TV, be it prime time or otherwise, you're looking at the biggest tit in the world.

Why does no one insist that he gets censored!?

[Chang Style Novice]

I think MK is right on the money (shot.)

The issue, as far as I'm concerned, isn't the bare breast on TV, but the how and why and where and when of the bare breast on TV. I didn't watch the game (football bores me), but I'll betcha anything that there was plenty of scheduled, approved T&A in the vast array of commercials aired during it. I'll even bet lots of them were in tiny, skimpy bikini tops or super-low cut cleavagadelic necklines. Looked at from that persective, one more mammary isn't that big a deal. The sweater mitten in question wasn't even much more bare than your average beach-fantasy beer commercial hooter. The big difference is that it was revealed by a grabby guy pulling the woman's clothes off. Ergo, rape fantasy. If it was truly a mere "wardrobe malfunction" there would be much less uproar. But that's not what happened - what happened was a violent sexual objectification of a body part. THAT'S what inappropriate for kids, not the mere fact of boobies.

I'd take this a lot more seriously if you didn't have a giant font sig-line saying "my peepee is an instrument to god's wrath."

[Xebsball]

ok, i was joking on the body/mind part :D

i intend, if necessary within the next 2 months max, use my peepees divine power on prostitutes to free them from the burden of the worlds older and most devilish profession... stuff

[MasterKiller]

everyone .....
masterkiller is a stupid puritan punk ass ***** afraid of the beautiful female body and her right to expose it whenever the time seems appropriate to her. Which one of you punk muther****ers said this and then didn't have the nuts to leave it up overnight? The problem there, is that APPROPRIATE to her may not be APPROPRIATE for the audience. Context.

And if you think I'm puritanical, you OBVIOUSLY haven't read my book. Neither have my kids. So before you go spouting off about people you know NOTHING about from the safety of your mommy's house, maybe you should do some research. Cocsucker.


The generally puritanical attitude of the US always amazes me. I mean, I believe in a basic level of decency but surely there is nothing wrong with someone briefly baring a breast (like my alliteration? ). Men are allowed to walk around in public without a shirt, so why is it so bad for women to do the same?It's not bad. In fact, it's not bad to show a man's *****. However, it is bad for a man to walk around jerking himself in public. Context.

I have no problem with a woman showing her body in the right context. I have no problem with exposing my girls to sex in the right context. But I refuse to expose them to indecent acts that show women in degrading and subserviant roles. It's hard enough battling fashion magazines and the anorexic actresses on "Friends" to instill a little self-esteem into them.

[BentMonk]

Mk - I have kids too. Two girls 4 & 10, two boys 6 & 11. I understand where you're coming from. You obviously grasp the point that most do not. It is THE PARENT'S responsibility to monitor what their kids do or do not see. The SuperBowl halftime show has gotten a little racier every year. All the hoopla just gives Janet a lot of free publicity. She freely admits it was her idea, and everyone else was clueless. Do I think Timberlake was in the dark? Not hardly. Still, charge Jackson with indecent exposure and move on. Rather people are offended by her, or could care less, for the whole country to be so up in arms about this is silly. I didn't even watch the Superbowl, but from what I've heard and seen so far the boob shot was more like a second and a half flash. In bad taste? Probably. Worth the whole country making such a fuss over? Not even. I respect your views MK and realize you're looking out for your kids. The fact still remains that this kind of stuff shows no signs of going away. Your kids have you looking out for them, mine have me. I think that's all they'll need to be just fine. I'm not going to expect the whole country to quit doing something just because I worry about what they might see or hear. I'm just going to teach them what's right and what's not, do my best to be there for them, and trust that thet're listening. So far they've shown me that they listen a lot more than I sometimes think. My 10 year old daughter thought what Janet did was tacky. She didn't actually see it, but after hearing about it at school, she formed her own oppinion. The world is wierd and getting wierder, but I think as long as parents do their job, the kids will be just fine. I still admire Wushu Chik's bluntness. Just out of curiosity Wushu Chik, would your oppinions change if you had kids?

[MasterKiller]

WushuChik has boys, I think. I respect her opinion because she does have kids. But I'm betting that she teaches them to not pull out their ******s in public. I'm also betting the loudmouths spouting about freedom of expression don't have any kids.

And Meat, you're a cool guy and all, but trying to tell me how to talk to my kids when you don't have any is like someone trying to teach you kung fu when they've never had a single lesson. Unless you pulled an 8-mile and raised your sister from birth because your mom was on crack, in which case, I'd say Janet's tit is the least of your problems.

I have 2 boys, 6 & 4. My opinions are like they are probably because of the way I was raised. My grandparents never witheld anything from me. I was allowed to watch whatever I wanted & all questions were answered, and not in a round about way. They wanted to be sure that I wasn't naive or I'd be utterly surprised or apauled by what I see or hear as I get older.

Case in point, my neighbor. Stunning redhead, small, petite, school teacher, very nice. She came over to tutor my 6 year old and there was a Surfing Magazine on the table opened to a page with a girl in a bikini. She started blushing, covered her mouth and closed the book, talking about how it leads to pornography etc.

My boys are VERY openminded and don't have any problems coming right out and asking a question, or expressing their opinions (wonder where they get that huh??).

AS A PARENT- I feel that it is my "job" to make sure my kids are ready for anything, and know the boundaries of life. They know where I stand in my points, and how I feel about certain areas of daily life. I do teach them the rights and wrongs, like MK said. My boys know that whipping it out in public is a BIG no no, just like many other things.

Josh, my 6 year old, saw Janets top get yanked off on the SBHT Show, and all he said was "Why'd he pull her top off, that was rude" & "That's gonna cost some bucks to get fixed."

Bodhi, my 4 year old, could have cared less. At his age, he's pretty oblivious to stuff like that! He's more worried about his coloring books and Xbox.


...sometimes you gotta stop and look at yourself in the mirror and wonder about the martial company you keep.

Sorry Gene, leave it to us to hijack, turn around, completely change the subject, then argue on a thread!! BUT- you know that's what you love about us the most!!!! That's why we have an off topic forum at Fu-Ragz (http://www.team-fu.com). (See look at how much you've already taught me!!! But that what ELDER Kung Fu Bro's are for!!:p )

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i agree with wushu's entire post 100%

this is exactly how i raise my daughter simply because i'm not capable of doing it any other way.

some people find that i'm way too honest with her, about anything and everything, but i could give a **** less and i completely respect another parent's right to do it differantly.

[GeneChing]

...but there are definate boundaries. I'm as open with my child as I can be, but there are definately some things I shield her from at this point. You gotta remember, I live near SF, so when we talk about porn, perversion, etc., it can be very extreme, stuff that is too much for me as an adult.

Anyway, right now we're working on learning sword etiquette because I have a lot of sharps lying about and many of my kid's classmates are in this heavy sword phase. Good sowrd etiquette would have prevented this whole thread, because slapping a sword on the table is just rude. He got what he deserved. Of course, none of mine would break like that (well, maybe my light saber might...)
