Well... he has some weird problem where his IP does not let him view us. I have no idea why. But, I think I am going to give them a call one of those days, because he says he did and they won't do anything but I am not so sure. Anyway, you will see some stuff on this in middle to late Feb. I will be running it myself and we will be reverifying teams, adding new people and starting.

... with my Grandmother and brother and they WOULD NOT believe me that gi is something! Is gi always capitalized? I don't think so... so then it qualifies. It wasn't in the dictionary we had... so I couldn't use the word! That stunk.

Gloi, who are you in the album? It worked by the way. And Sai... your album says empty.

http://www.sportsforums.net (Part of the network of sites which KarateForums.com is apart.) I play some tennis for fun sometimes.

The best thing to happen to martial arts lately is KarateForums.com!

Who said you couldn't post that? I did and do. On threads like this, I/Senseis judge if it is a genuine question or if its some sicko thing. This is a genuine question from a user who has been here for awhile. So... don't make fun of it and we'll see if your thread is left Angus. Stanley, eh... I didn't need to know your names. Well one things for sure, if I have a son, I am not naming him Stanley or Stan or anything like that. Actually I wouldn't have anyway, but it will give me another excuse not to!

Not a bad idea... I think we can do that.

Well, you can help us out by buying with links from the Support Us page. If you do choose to go with one of those sites that is. http://www.ifroggy.com/karateforums/support.php Thanks.

Welcome to the site TKDGirl.

At this time I am going to close this thread. If you want to talk about this Australian "culture" - then we can start a new thread for it. The thread was started in Angus' respect for a man he admired. We have all expressed our opinions and now it is time to close this thread, in my opinion. Ross Kimble, dead at 34. Rest in Peace and God Bless his family.

I don't see any problem with this thread. At the end of the day, I judge what is offensive. Nothing here yet. Oh and Sai, I figured this would be a place to get your attention, so please check your Private Messages. Thank you.

Well, not anymore anyway, Angus has "dropped" it... so I guess its dropped.

You won't be sorry. No men on this thread... and I won't be reading it either.

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.
