i hope kung fu doesnt go in this direction

Things our foretathers lives with, even participated in

1. Witch trials
2. The crusades
3. The inquisition
4. Calling Capurnicus and Gallelo heretics for saying the sun is the center of the universe (may have spelled names wrong, sure you know who they are though)
5. Infanticide
6. Female circumcision

This is, regretably, just a short list of the nasty things that previous generations accepted, participated in and even supported as "correct"

yet these all infringe on basic human rights. apples and oranges IMO.

i am sure i could name a list of things most posters on this board to on a regular basis, simply because its what they grew up doing, IE: tradition, that would be a serious waste of time and effort, yet we all still do them.

anyone enjoy the entertainment industry to any degree at all? stop it, you dont need to, and its a waste of your time.

same deal, where one man bags on another man for what he percieves and obsolete or un needed, he in turn i am sure would have similar skeletons in his own closet.

live and let be i say. people can HARP all they want, but who really wants to be a HARPER? well, maybe some of you do.....

I just chose the most glaring examples of things that used to be accepted, ie that our forefathers did, that OBVIOUSLY we chose not to just do just for the sake of "tradition"

i am sure i could name a list of things most posters on this board to on a regular basis, simply because its what they grew up doing, IE: tradition, that would be a serious waste of time and effort, yet we all still do them.

ah, but if you become aware of the, aware they are wastes of time and effort, yet consciously chose to still do them, isn't that sick?

[Lucas]

sure i suppose.

you ever watch tv. movies. eat junk food, have non procrational sexual interaction.
drive a car, have a pet, look at girls....

i would wager to say a healthy percentage of things we do for entertainment on any level are not needed.


so in a way, yes we are all very very sick

[lkfmdc]

but, you see, if I set up a "kung fu school" and lesson #1 involves lotion and my right palm, am I just "doing my thing" or am I ripping someone off?

3. The inquisition

you never saw history of the world part 1. that was a fine time in history. pools, dancing.

6. Female circumcision

What about Male circumcision? Sure, most of us are, but can you imagine the first circumcision, in Biblical terms?

Abraham was in his thrities or forties or so, and suddenly god tells him he needs to cut off the skin over the wrinkly part of his *****, and those of his brothers, family, and friends, as well, in order to have a covenant with god. So Abraham waltzes up to his brother and is like:

Abraham: "Hey, dude, I talked to God last night."
Brother: "Oh, yeah? What'd he say?"
Abraham: "Well, we're going to be the progenitors of a long, fine, godly tradition."
Brother: "That sounds friggin' awesome."
Abraham: "Yeah, it's sweet, isn't it?"
Brother: "So, what do we have to do?"
Abraham: "We just have to cut off the skin over the wrinkly parts of our nads."
Brother: "I knew it. I just knew there was something wierd about the skin over that wrinkly part of my ****. I only have one question: where's the knife?"

(Abraham pulls out a rusty machete, his lucky machete, and slaps it on the table)

Three hours later, and three hundred circumcisions later, and Abraham is the least popular man in Israel. The men lie around and moan for weeks while the women laugh their asses off:

Brother: "Hey, Abe....(ouch)"
Abraham: "Owwwwww......what?"
Brother: "You're a ****ing *******....."
