So, then the wife matters and the kids don't? And what are you saying when you say "defending the honor of his wife" - this could mean a multitude of actions by other people. Please elaborate.

Angus, if I crossed you on the streets... I'd be fine. You should use your abilities when it is neccessary - when your life is in danger or the life of someone else. This gentleman's life was not in danger - or from the article and information you have given, was not at that moment. When you are fighting for your life - there is no honor, it is survival of the fittest or best equiped. This is all under the bridge, because you won't listen to me. But, the bottom line is that because of his (Ross) actions and this attitude you have descirbed, there are 2 kids without a father.

From my research... South America.

Well, Angus... I was brought up to be smart. You only have one life - and its a short one. Make it last, have fun and don't waste it. I consider fighting everytime your challenged to be a waste of a good life. Sorry.

Yes, fill in your current location. I will check it again in a couple of weeks. It takes me about an hour or so now, so I'll check it every month or so if I can.

Dreamer... you didn't contribute to that info though! You don't have your location listed.

I just finished processing some data. Some very cool data in my opinion. I surveyed all of the memberlist and took this data from the members that choose to state where they reside. That probably a little less than half of the current membership. So, we are probably more international than this shows, but from those that did choose to fill it out, these are the results. We have members on 5 continents, in 29 countries and in 31 U.S. States and the District of Columbia. That is cool. _________________ Patrick O'Keefe KarateForums.com - Administrator/Grandmaster iFroggy Design - Affordable Web Design and Development [ This Message was edited by: Patrick on 2002-01-19 13:42 ]

I can't agree with that Angus.

Well, thats too bad. I am sympathetic for his wife and children. You could please elaborate on "defending his wife's honor"? Does that mean he fought instead of kept walking?

Welcome.

I was an All-Star little league baseball player for many years in different leagues. Some of the Dads at these things are so far out of line and I was actually coached by one once. Just an idiot that ruined the whole all-star season. We were a very good team, that actually ended up placing 3rd in New England (regionals) and we were actually a game away from being somewhat close to going to the World Series. But, one idiot ruined it a lot for me.

Welcome Slider.

Thats too bad Lori. I am sure that you will be able to make it through everything. I have a lot of topsy-turvy things going on in my life as well.

I bet that was fun.

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

I have changed the name of this forum to World Events. This forum is now for the discussion of serious news throughout the world. Thanks.

I will see it when it comes out on video.

Well... I didn't really want it, but since a bunch of people did, I added it... and now where are those bunch of people? I mean, if people want it... they can find a way to make Friday... or most people can I believe. You can try what KickChick said though.

Welcome Eru.

Welcome.

I have been in a state of "non-thinking" before. Like when I thought of the idea for making this site. lol Just kidding.

Welcome.

One thing I don't like is when someone says "I feel sorry for you" when someone doesn't buy into their beliefs. I mean, that doesn't have a place in the discussion... and the same person probably feels sorry for you then! That said, I don't have a stance on ki and plan to keep it that way.

Happy New Years

Don't really have any. Too busy.
