This topic is out of hand, now. So I am going to close it. Just one thing to say. I have said it before - and I will say it again. Anyone that has ever tried to be disrespectful to me or come after me in some way, has cited "other people in hiding." I have come to learn and understand that these people are few and far between, not unimportant, but few and far between.

I think that it didn't matter how much you know, you don't know until its done pretty much.

Bitseach. This thread may be called sexist, I can see how that could be. Racist, no. As for Lecherous: lech - A strong, especially sexual desire or craving. lechery - Excessive indulgence in sexual activity; lewdness. This thread is neither. Threads like this are allowed and will be allowed. Some people may not like them. Some people do. Most people don't care. If this is "lechery" - I'd assume that you never talk about guys with your best girlfriend (I am assuming you are a women)? That would be committing lechery by your definition. This is nothing but a bunch of guys talking about girls and its not really that bad. This thread is just guys talking about which girls they like, etc. Sure, it may not be the most tasteful topic. There are even people saying things like: "All women are beautiful in many ways. When you get older you will see." " I go to a school that has a huge population of Japanese students. From a purely superficial standpoint, Japanese girls seem to be just like any other girls. Some are hot and some are in the middle and some are not so hot. Some people may like them for novelty just as they like girls or guys of a certain ethnicity or whatever." If you don't like it, don't read it. But, do not demand publicly that I or the Senseis do anything to fit your personal whim. We do take suggestions from people on a thread that may need attention, but we do not guarentee that we will agree with that person. You may want to stop reading the General Chat and Serious Discussion all together if you are upset by subjects like this. _________________ Patrick O'Keefe KarateForums.com - Administrator/Grandmaster RIP - Left Eye [ This Message was edited by: Patrick on 2002-05-16 10:01 ]

Yes. 12.

I took it... You are definitely a woman! 80% Confidence. The chart showed me right in the middle... and like this women man ish creature... How do we know? Well, deep down, your gender affects everything about you, from your favorite number to your views on Canada. Many women who took the test think and act just like you, as you can see from the clusters above. Statistically speaking, you are a chick. I told them they were wrong. lol

Ok, I have tallied the results, and I believe they are correct. Once again, this quiz was created/put together by KickChick. I awarded 1 point per 1 correct answer. Correct answers were answers that followed the question to a T. YODA - 9 Points ZR440 - 6 Points KSN Doug - 6 Points SaiFightsMS - 5 Points Karateka - 4 Points kicker - 2 Points jamesdasher - 0 Points (DNP) Answers: 1. Boxing. 2. Niagara Falls. The rim is worn down about two and a half feet each year because of the millions of gallons of water that rush over it every minute. 3. Asparagus and rhubarb. 4. Baseball. 5. Strawberry. 6. The pear grew inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the whole growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems. 7. A few, including Dwarf, dwell, and dwindle. 8. Period, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, apostrophe, question mark, exclamation point, quotation marks, brackets, parenthesis, braces, and ellipses. 9. In Minnesota. The team was originally known as the Minneapolis Lakers and kept the name when they moved west. 10. Many. 11. Lettuce. 12. Many So, there you have it. Congrats to YODA! He gets the immunity here meaning you CAN'T vote him off. But, EVERYONE please vote for who you want to be voted off of KarateForums.com Survivor. Please PM me your votes and do not post them here. The deadline for votes will be Friday night at 10:00 PM CST.

Sorry guys, got busy and forgot to do this. I promise, absolutely, that the results will be posted by tomorrow night at 11:00 PM CST! Again, sorry for the delay.

Happy Belated Mothers Day to all of the Mothers out there.

http://info.alexa.com/data/details/write_review?q=&url=http://karateforums.com Please review us. I appreciate it. I am not going to tell you what to rank us as... but a 5 star would be nice. Thanks guys. The reviews appear on Alexa's site... and we like to be reviewed.

Amen!

Sorry, but I don't see why we have to link to threads at other sites. Please start a discussion on Wu Shu here if you'd like. Thanks.

Thats a little too much to hope for right now.

I do.

Cool. Its coming up.

I could write a book.
