I'm quite certain I could kill without hesitation if needed to. And I don't really believe in morals too much. It's all perspective.
But I respect all life. I try not to even kill bugs in my place. But time and place, right? Two days ago I was taking a dump and a saw a spider and my first instinct was to crush it but I let it go, actually enjoying its unique way. But wait. There's another one. And then a third. It became an infestation. I quickly smashed the three and then found baby crawling near my feet. Wiped out the whole family and went for a surf and didn't think about it again until now.
I'm full of love but can be a cruel MF too. :)
It's all a possibilities, right?
**** me pal, will you stop trying the ****ing contest thing? I wasn't having a go at you in the first place.
What did you start in age 4? I'm guessing traditional something. I was talking about when you had your epiphany that the trad ways were not necessarily enough and branched out into more solid, tested cross training... which was when?
I've always tested my arts against other arts with what are now called throwdowns... and had my ass handed to me on a plate enough times to modify what I was doing tech and training and principle-wise... since the second year of my training which would be 16 years ago now. I took my first fully resistant JJ (tho admittedly JJJ - shock!!!) about 12 years ago. I'm not calling you out, playing the expert or otherwise dissing you, but you started with the 'what have you been doing with your time' **** so knock it off. That's my last word: go ahead and have yours.
whatever one that was hardcore (includes hard sparring/randori and conditioning-conditioning-conditioning), offered 6 days a week classes, that last 2 or more hours a pop. Also, has to have a teacher, master, coach, guru that has enough common sense or experience to know what's bs flowery mess and what's real deal combat training. 8 months is more than adequate using any of those styles as long as the above criteria are met. Even MMA training can suck in the hands of the wrong teacher.
I notice your technique is to pretty up your attacks and insults. Those were your first words to me.
**** you. You were and I train hard so I a) don't have to take no **** from some punk a$$ without a gun and b) deserve the same respect any other man does. And will fight for it.
No. Again. You did call me out. And once out I don't play games or talk ****. I put it just as it is. I plan on kicking some a$$ in Dec. and win or lose I'll post it like I always do.
I started with Issin-Ryu karate and actually hold it in very high esteem. My sensei's, sensei (a proud black man in Newark NJ) was climbing up six foot ladders and landing on his knuckles. My sensei was ripped. Real. A fighter. His son was a pro kick boxer. They raised me with respect and discipline. Unfortunately, and this is 100% true, Kung Fu deprogrammed a lot of good things out of me. My master had his reasons and he taught me plenty, but I'm now working hard to regain some valuable things, many of them a certain fortitude, that I lost while sleeping.
Good luck in your next fight Ray, as always. Kick some ass.
:rolleyes: at the rest of your nonsense.
oxymorons have been a weekly theme. think about it though... you go off and join the marine corp and the whole cirriculum is based on making you a killer... is it any different to train your mind without some a$$hole screaming in your face from sun-up to sun down?
now that is the proper mindset.
it's not believing in morals... it is practicing them.Quote:

we have spiders all throughout our house... can't find it in us to kill any of them... a wolf spider lives in our bathroom and drops it's skin on the towels... the most we do is sweep up the webs and take them outside.Quote:

not quite something to brag about... not that you are, just a statement for the rest of the spectators...Quote:

You people obviouslly don't have ****roaches...
If you ever see a roach, my advice is, kill it, as quickly as possible.
I keep picturing this dude sitting in a lawn chair in rural Kentucky listening to Chinese Classical music drinking a virgin margarita while covered in welts swarmed by unswatted mosquitos.
we got roaches around here... when they get outta line my girlfriend sets the traps. we don't kill spiders in the house, hornets, wasps(though we tend to remove them). we have a few family mice...
why? the worst i do to them is catch them and feed them to my fish...Quote:

actually i am in semi-rural pennsylvania... mosquitos are a pain, but atleast the biting flies are gone this year because the goats are gone. it's not margarita's, it's usually harp or guiness; sometimes mosquitoes do get the swat... :DQuote:

There is no "I" to reincarnate. Killing another causes terrible suffering and is the opposite of what one on the bodhisattva path should do.
I truly see it as all nothing... yet at the same time all me. We are all aspects of the one living universe. To harm one part is to harm oneself in one way. And at the same time there's nothing to harm.
I've put so much thought into all of this only to come back to the same basic lessons my Christian mom taught me. They work just as good. The golden rule so to say.
Not everyone sees things the same way. Best policy is to be kind and respectful to people, animals and nature and things in general. Any deviation from this stems from ones own inner anger/issues, and will always catch up with the person.
