Pretty ordinary.

As it probably doesn't do any good in the public forums, I have removed this and am going to PM him. Thanks.

Welcome.

Hello, The first part didn't seem that confusing to me. What is the best fighting style for the Sai if your only method of training is by watching videos and reading books? The second part is a bit more sketchy, though. Maybe you could elaborate. Thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Welcome.

Hello, As has become tradition, I just thought that I would note that we are now 3 and 1/2 years old. Getting up there... Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.

Its alright, I'll have a quick go through. Reminded me that I needed to turn that ability off, if nothing else. Thanks.

... Rock the Vote!

Hello, I think this debate has run its course, so I am going to close it. A few closing thoughts: This is a very International site, but since this discussion is about voting in the U.S. election, this discussion is primarily for Americans... As Americans, we have the responsibility of choosing our elected officials (those of us that can vote). This is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly or disregarded easily. It is one of the foundations of our society and something that many people have died for. I always tell people... vote for the candidate who you feel will best lead the country. Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Green, Reform... even a write in candidate that is running. As long as you vote for the person you feel will lead the country in the most efficient way out of all candidates, you are doing your job and no vote is wasted. Anyone has the right to complain (not here, though, as we don't allow political discussions ), but those that complain that are eligable to vote but do not vote are bound to be reguarded as hypocrites. Voting is the ultimate action, more than protesting, writing a book, making a movie, etc. Those that are unable to vote, you can't hold that against them. Not being able is not the same as being able and not doing. Thanks.

None of the replies have answered the question posed at the start of the thread. Please focus on that. Thank you.

Please keep voting! Thanks.
