Actually, I've trained in TaeKwonDo for 16 years. And Shinjukki-Jin Jitsu has nothing to do with Jin Jitsu. Shunjukki-Jin translates into "small man". It was developed from Kyusho-Jitsu and Doro-Jitsu as a way for anyone, even the small man, to end a fight quickly.
How does blindfolding yourself improve your chi? Is it the same way that people who become blind say that their hearing gets better? That instead of using your eyes, you use your ears? I don't see how this and Chi have anything to do with one another?
You want to prove Chi to me? Show me proof of the fabled one touch kill? The closest thing I've ever seen was a good solid punch to the adam's apple... And boy did that do the trick!
Xinji-Kwan, Chin-Na, Doro-Jitsu, Kyusho-Jitsu, and Shinjukki-Jin all deal with "chi". just because Someone only mentions two styles of martial arts does not mean that they have not trained in others. I don't know many high ranking black belts who only know one style of martial arts.
My instructors have almost always been great martialists. Master Dennis Conway is my current instructor, and I'm hard pressed to think of anyone I've ever trained with who was a better instructor.
Just because some small kid can beat the hell out of the huge guy at the bar dosen't mean he uses Chi to do it... Sometimes all it takes is a propper stance and punching as hard and as fast as you can.
Ok, here's a little test. Move any muscle you want. Now notice that one the other side of that muscle, there is a corresponding muscle. When one contracts, the other expands.... What a dumbass...
If you took them yourself, you'd know it was not some mystical "force" creating the power of those styles. Even in asia, fery few people believe in chi these days. The entire chi meridian system has been explained through the nervous system. Bruce Lee explained his one-inch punch's power as comming from his body's fluid motion and rapid muscle expansion rather than "chi".
His teachings are great example of modern masters who truely understand not only THAT martial arts work, but WHY martial arts works.

Why would you want to buy one of these when the DS is just a few bucks more probably, and can play all of the same games plus the DS games.
The origional Gameboy came out when I was probably about 5 or 6, and I played the heck out of that thing with it's monochrome display, and loved it. It ate batteries like they were cheaper than dirt.
When the DS came out I bought one in the first week. The DS games so far are total crap (I mean you Star Wars III! You let me down big!), but the fact that I can plug in my GBA games and romp on them all day has made it worth the extra money.
I'm sure there will be good DS games that come out eventually, and when they do I'll be glad I have the DS that can play both.
(Just a rant, but Super Mario Bros. III for GBA is too freakin expensive. I payed $25.00 for one yesterday at a used shop. Doom II and Zelda: Link to the Past only cost 6 bucks each...)
How can pot make you have antisocial behavior? That's absurd. I smoked pot when I was a teenager and it had the opposite effect. It was something that brought our friends closer together. We'd sit and smoke and play video games/ guitar/ cards or whatever and talk. To this day I'm still good friends with all of my ex-pot smoking buddies even though we no longer smoke.
But when we DID smoke, we were all much closer friends.
Yes, that's what we should do! We should legalize something just because people are getting in trouble for it!
What have you been smoking?
There are great ways to insure that the government does not get to put their fancy schmancy GPS units around your ankle, and here they are:
1: Don't get put on probabtion.
2: Don't do anything that will get you put on probation.
As is stands now, the only people we are looking at giving these units to are persons who are on probation instead of putting them under house arrest. To keep from becomming one of these people you just need to stay away from crime.
Now I'm just as paranoid about the government overstepping it's boundaries as the next guy, but we're not talking about secretly wiretapping phones or anything. The people who this will affect are convicts and criminals who are fully aware of what is going on.
If and when the government decided to track every citizen, then I will be the whitest mexican you've ever seen in your life. But until that day comes when I need to cross the rio grande the OTHER way, I'll quit worrying so much about my government and start worrying about the people who will be wearing these GPS units.
Since when do we have to NEED something in order to buy it? This is America, land of the free? Remember that part?
In that case every single adult should only own a bycycle or motorcycle because you aren't actually using your other seats. Why have a trunk if you don't use it?
We have them because we want them and can afford to drive them. We have them because we may put them to use one day, not because we use it every day.
And just because there aren't 400lbs of brick in the bed of my truck dosen't mean that it won't be there tomorow, so quit assuming so much and drive your own car.
And the fact that we commit crimes which go unpunished means we shouldn't punnish others?
I hardly feel that me driving 5mph over the speed limit or not comming to a full stop at the sign in front of my house and not going to jail is reason enough not to protect someone from a stalker or violent ex-husband.
If that were the case murder cases would be dropped because the lawier made an illegal turn on the way to court.
You've got nothing on me. Here in Srarkville, MS they can't sell beer and liquor in the same building. You can't buy anything alcoholic on Sundays, and it is illegal to sell cold beer. It must be warm.
And since 50% of this town is Mississippi State Universite campus (second largest campus in the US) there are very few places where you can actually have beer. Luckily the campus has no rules aginst liquor though...
There has never, in any state been a waiting period for purchasing rifles or shotguns. Nor do they require you to regester any of them or have liscenses to own them.
However, there was a madatory 3 day waiting period in all states during the 1990's, which was put into place so that propper background checks could be done to insure that handguns weren't sold to felons. With modern computers and inter-state networks there is no need for them anymore. It can be done in a matter of seconds by calling a national office for handgun sales checks and regestration.
There are no age restrictions on rifles or shotguns because rifles and shotguns are hunting weapons. Pistols are most often not hunting weapons. (although there are handguns made specificaly for hunting) It is illegal to hand a pistol to nayone under 18 for any reason, and children under 21 may only handle handguns with adult supervision under hunting or target shooting circumstances.
Why do you think rifles and shotguns are so bad? Of all of the shootings last year only a handful were from legally purchased firearms, and only a smaller fraction were from either rifles or shotguns. You want to know how many of those were from legally purchased rifles or shotguns? Try just a fraction of a handful... More people were stabbed. Wanna ban steak knives as well?

Freedom of Speech is that you can say anything that you want. You must also realize that there are two other freedoms which go along with that freedom. The freedom to be ignored, and the freedom to be ostracised for your words.
Also note that nothing was said about congress not passing laws about what would happen IF you said something they didn't like. Apparently, you can say anything you want, there might be severe consiquences though.
You want an example, go stand infront of the White House and yell "Death to Bush" as loudly as you can... Sure, you're free to say it, but you're also free to go to jail for it as well.

You're right. Other than being a military child and living on the DMZ in Korea for 5 years I have never been to Asia.

That and wrecks at 12MPH tend to do much less harm than wrecks at normal speeds.
Why? In my case that reason is simple as simple as "tomorow"
Think about it. If you can live on a third of what you make today, then tomorow you'll have twice as much money.
Yes, that's what we should do! We should legalize something just because people are getting in trouble for it!

So if you copied the protected cd to another cd that didn't have the same protection, could you then rip mp3's of THAT cd?
That sounds to easily done to be correct to me though.
I was honestly expecting more references to uranus though... Come on people, get on the ball.
We'll just have to trade them cigarettes and beer...
Sounds like a fair tradeoff if you ask me.

I don't think laws are made to keep criminals from doing things. Laws are made for keeping law-abiding citizens from doing certain things.
But then again, banning flag burning would only make law-abiding flag burners into criminals.
You know, a wise man once said that rules were ment to be broken...

I agree. I would love to hear his thoughts on this issue.
