Post your songs that best define the madness that is KFM.

Entry of the Gladiators of course.

In fairness to the mods, how do you both allow free discussion and deal with repeated returning trolls whose sole intention is to target people and derail discussion with only unpaid mods having to carry it out? And these kids do not get the idea that this is cool by itself, both Sanjuro Ronin and I can cite numerous examples of grown ass men encouraging kids to do this on the premise that what they are doing is spreading the truth. In the real world, I don't know a single grown man who is not a nutty martial arts instructor or political party member who would actively encourage kids to waste their time this way by making a noble argument for it.

As for songs, people are people.

People get to trollin.
Many people do many dumb things. Martial artists are not immune to being dummies doing dumb things. they will be here.

But, yeah, bickering and chestpounding? It's dumb. lol

You forgot to include religious extremists of any faith.

And also extreme cynics.

Behind every Cynic, there was once an idealist.
Then, reality happened and the idealist realized what a lie all the ideals were.
So, he cynically set about correcting himself.

I have no issue with cynicism. It is often an open door to talking points.
I have more of an issue with idealism. That can be a fools game and has little value in the face of reality. It's nice, but it is almost 100% of the time dragged into the mud and shown to be the rot that it really is.

Cynics are closer to realists and pragmatists than any idealist ever will be.

Balance is always important to have, but an *extreme* cynic brings nothing but negativity. That's the type I was referring to.
