OK, so the reply confuses me slightly: I only refer to why one chooses to learn martial arts or to practice it, and I am well aware of how theory doesn't always turn to practice in a fight (try doing platoon fire with a fast shooting weapon). I also allude to other uses for martial arts.

If you refer to Stefan's comments, I would actually agree with you on that particular point. and in fact, I agree with your whole post.

Just kinda seems to me that Stefan's arguing from ignorance, unaware of how modern martial arts function, wanted to set up a form of reference for people who are ignorant about how defense happens today. I took martial arts to improve myself and it had the added benefit of teaching me some basic self defense.

This picture is serious fail:


Yeah, because Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln weren't complete douchebags or anything. Not to mention Eisenhower wasn't exactly the small government messiah that Republicans make him out to be.

Didn't Teddy Roosevelt abandon the Republican Party?

Geez, it's not as if there aren't private emergency services like OnStar where people can just look and see how well they work--MUCH better than 911, in fact!

he did temporarily, because he though Taft wasn't towing the Roosevelt(skiy) line.
Meh

Sorry Stef, I like ya, but this is something that had to be posted:

While I never got into martial arts, simply passing it off as an excuse to hit people is just stupid.

One direct quote from the video:
"No, no, but sorry. When you say, 'I wasn't attracted to martial arts for the hitting.' That sounds to me, like saying, 'I wasn't attracted to tennis for knocking a ball around and I wasn't attracted to dancing for the music and the rhythm.' But that's what it is, it's hitting."

The difference between martial arts and just beating the shit out of people is 1. it's usually taught as either self-defense, or it is done for sport which is completely voluntary.

Have you seen the new one he made about this?

I'm watching it now.

Honestly, this video isn't much better. He's basically saying anyone who ever took an interest to martial arts was basically abused in some way, either by their parents or someone else. Basically, he's treating an interest in martial arts to as if it was some kind of disorder that needs to be fixed.

And, my comment to this effect in the video has been deleted. While the commenters call US butt-hurt. Yeah, statism: yet again showing itself to be as bad as creationism.

I wonder how many of these clods support their local teachers union when they demand pay raises.
