    Too bad you spelled "grammar" incorrectly.

  2. Re:So who would win in a fight? on Episode II Surpasses $116 Million at Box Office · · Score: 0

    If this were they comic based Spider-Man, I seriously doubt Anakin would win since Spider-Man can lift cars and (according to the comics) his web fluid is IMMENSELY strong. A small patch could hold a race car in place. Also, Spider-Man has superhuman reflexes... enough to dodge bullets and etc. AND has the esp-like spider-sense.

    Hm... I think that was just a nod towards Eps 4-6. I mean, just because he was building some "ultimate" weapon didn't mean that he was more OR less evil than anyone else. I didn't think Dr. Evil was MORE evil when he decided to build "a huge frickin' laser."

    Yes, I see it now... these flies will develop "mutant powers" and begin to harass us humans w/ their mighty X-ray vision and Super strength! Possibly, some will develop super intelligence (anyone ever see that SNL skit w/ the guy that had a huge cranium and thought he was a genius?) and plot against us! We must stop this now!

  19. Re:Blizzard: it's been fun on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 0

    Yep... the ppl who immediately jump the gun and say, "Oh! Blizzard is so evil!" don't seem to understand that Blizzard popularized the Central Match-making Server service (not sure on what it's actually called) w/ Bnet and that is what helped them both A) Do so well in the RTS market and B) Popularized their RTS games.

    By allowing the development of a Match-making service that is not only using a beta of a soon to be released game but also that's currently more populated than their official server for beta testing is just asking for WC3 to be pirated.

    Of course I would know nothing about this even though I play on the extremely popular Bnetd servers w/ my cracked version of WC3...

  20. Re:Blizzard: it's been fun on Blizzard Rains on Bnetd Project · · Score: 0

    Hehe... the Bnetd servers have a much higher concentration of WarCraft 3 beta players than the actual Bnet server does. The reason that SC and WC2 are played almost exclusively on Bnet is because that Bnet was the only choice you had if you wanted to find a couple quick pick-up games or your friends weren't available to play.

    The probable reason that they shutdown Bnetd is because Bnetd was actually making it possible to play the Warcraft3 beta on their servers w/out the need for a valid Bnet key... which opens the door towards allowing the final version of Warcraft3 to be easily pirated AND playable on a Match-making Server type service.

    I also forgot to mention that I learned basic Wing-Chun when I was first learning Jeet Kune Do (mostly just excercises such as using the wooden training dummy and chi sao).

    And that the Gracies (whom you conceded as being "real martial artists") have lost several of their fights in Pride tournaments. A fighter named Kazushi Sakuraba has had the pleasure of beating 3 out of the 4 best Gracies in Pride tournaments and was even dubbed "the Gracie hunter".

    Kung-Fu: Hung-Gar (which I believe is from the southern part of China...) Only 2 years because it tended to emphasize form over substance. Michael Matsuda.

    Jeet Kune Do: 3 years and still practicing. There are no belts in Jeet Kune Do. It's all based on personal development. Also, concerning form, I wouldn't have dropped Hung-Gar because of the emphasis on forms only to pick up another MA w/ more emphasis on form... Larry Hartsell.

    Grappling: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, 1 year and still learning, but that 1 year is more than enough to take out most 3 year students who have no basis in ground fighting. John Machado.

    I have never entered a "no-holds barred" tournament, but then again, I suspect you've never entered a "full contact" tournament either.

    As for the no-holds barred tournaments I'm speaking of, I am *NOT* talking about the watered down version known as the UFC. I'm talking about Pride and Pancrase which are still quite brutal, and various other tournaments (such as K-1, but that's not MMA). The basic rules are: no eye gouges, no punching the groin, no biting and no kicking/punching a person who is on all fours.

    Yeah, I guess these guys that participate in these tournaments who suffer broken legs, disclocated shoulders, elbows, torn ligaments due to submission holds, getting choked into unconsciousness and numerous concussions (those punches and knees to the face really don't help) but *STILL* don't give up would be real pansies in a "full contact" tournament. (Look up "Kazuyuki Fujita" and you'll see a guy who has taken INSANE amounts of punishment but still manages to win his matches.)

    Of course, I would expect all these "secretive" full-contact tournaments to have many casualties (what from all the neck breaking and groin punching and eye gouging going on... kinda like the movie "Bloodsport" w/ Van Damme, eh?)

    I really used to be just like you and compare everything to how "great" Chinese Kung-Fu was (hell, why shouldn't I? I'm 1st generation Chinese-American) until I actually *LISTENED* to ppl of other arts and started studying them. Perhaps if you expanded your mind a little bit, you would find that Kung-Fu really isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

    PS: the only rules in TRUE brazilian jiu-jitsu are: no eye gouges, no biting, and no fish-hooking. Gee, I guess they train pretty realistically, eh?

    WTF? Didn't I just list them seperately? Or did you somehow read that all as *ONE* art (kung-fu-jeetkunedo-grappling)? Please, go actually *LEARN* about no-holds barred fighting before you respond.

  25. Re:if the shoe fits on Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan · · Score: 0

    WTF?

    Why do ppl insist on using Timothy McVeigh as an example? If I were afraid that ppl were going to start parking trucks full of fertilizer in front of federal buildings, *YES!*, I would use Timothy McVeigh as an example profile.

    If I were afraid of more suicide airliner terrorists, then I would look at the suicidal Al-Queda members as an example profile.

    Everyone should stop using McVeigh as the poster boy because the only thing it proves is that caucasians are more likely (at least in the U.S.) to blow up federal buildings w/ trucks filled w/ fertilizer.
