oh, another thing i didn't like about american wedding: one of the neatest things about the second american pie was that they brought back every character one could have possibly thought of from the first one, no matter how minor. the third one, they cut out a major character and didn't even mention it!!! they could have at least said something to the affect of "oh yeah, to bad oz couldn't make it, being abroad on a class thing" or something, but no, they just cut him out. whatever. in regards to seasbiscuit, i think it would have been better had it been about a cow racer. cows are a lot more useful to society, be it in the meat or the dairy! i love cows horses, on the other hand, do nothing but throw me off there back on to a rock, causing me to have to goto the doctor and have the creepy guy with the cold hands poke me for awhile and talk to me in some dr. jumbo that i couldn't possibly understand and of course it's during school during a huge test on the 50 states so i missed it and had to stay after school to finish it and... sorry, i guess i had some pent up rage

well, i personally thought that american wedding was pretty bad. they tried to blend the comedy with the first one with a pleasant romance story and it just didn't turn out. on top of that, most of the "commedy" was just a bunch o' gimmicks that worked in the first two, but didn't play out here. the dance-a-thon in the gay bar was hilarious, though . and i understand that seabiscuit is supposed to be a brilliant and wonderful movie, i just don't see how it could be. maybe it's cuz i don't like horses, or i don't much care for the actor, or simply because i've seen so many "underdog-comes-out-on-top" movies the novelty has worn off, but it dosen't look like a movie i want to see much.

well, we've had this talk before, so i'm not gonna bother countering all your points this time cuz i'm tired and i'm gonna goto bed. but just to clarify on the "(BTW Clinton bombed them in 98 and destroyed several weapons plants this was the same time as the Monica thing, so his actions were for personal reason not because he did the right thing like Bush did) " ...no, clinton bombed iraq before the monica thing.

yeah, the whole light bomb thing was really stupid too. not only does light have a tendancy to NOT EMIT IN FLAMES , you shouldn't be able to OUT RUN IT !!! HOW DID SHE PULL THAT OFF!?! i could think of another dozen or so things that are hideously wrong with it, but it's been awhile, and the movie's not worth the $1 to rent it.

speaking of useless information... "I disagree,a punch isn't just a punch,as you have stated.A karate punch is different from a muaythai punch and a muaythai punch will be more effective then a karate punch,why?well first of all a karate punch often comes from the waste(belt level)leaving oneself open for a punch to stomache or solar plexus.MuayThai punch comes from above,holding at head level and being thrown whether straight jab,right cross,or uppercut,hooks etc.The less time a punch takes to be executed the more power you will have.Speed breads power.It takes longer to execute a punch from waste then it does if you are holding your fists up at head level. Also snapping your punches as is done in karate and many other styles is less effective then if you just go right through with the punch.Snapping and pulling back on punches does absolutely nothing for the same reason point sparring is not as effective as full contact. " no, a punch is hitting someone with your fist. be it a front punch, a reverse punch, a muaythai punch, a wing chun punch, the goal of the technique is to hit the person with your fist. i'm just gonna drop the UFC retorts, because i will never see it the way you do.

and all that said, mr./ms. thai fighter, lets just say that you're right and that breaking boards is useless in training. you yourself said you've broken boards and had fun with it. isn't that reason enough? to let loose, have a little fun, and do something different? i don't see why the martial arts should be all blood, sweat, and tears.

you know, i never thought to bring my board breaking skills to the cross country course. i think you're onto something...

one of these days you'll have to wake up and see the application of techniques. a punch is a punch, whether it's in karate or one of the styles you listed. why you can't see this is beyond me. i think in another post awhile back you said tai chi wasn't a martial art. there are punches, kicks, strikes, even a shove, i don't see where the lack of self defense is. i also don't understand how you can rely on th UFC as the deciding factor as to what is effective or not. just my opinion.

"If you were attacked by a staff (as this happens to us many times nowadays, especially when we are travelling in our sandels to the well to collect our drinking water" our local movie gallery was recently robbed by 3 guys with staffs. i think the owner would have chosen the gun, but nothing was readilly available

yeah, didn't you see the two towers or harry potter? those trees looked pretty viscous to me. that said, i believe board breaking has many more uses against than just being fun. any moron can learn how to throw a kick, even if they don't have any experience in the martial arts. but can they make it useful an effective? it's all interpretation

muaythaifighter, you never cease to make me laugh! many a person would regard tai chi as a useful martial art, an in my experience that's been nothing but forms. and quite frankly, i hardly believe that a half naked guy beating up on people in a ring on pay per view holds as "proving an art". i'll pull a gun on one of your beloved UFC fighters, and we'll just see what he does.

if your friends are that experienced, couldn't you just ask them to give you the foundation instead of spending all the money on videos? those are very expensive...

"When Jet Li hits you can feel it." YOU GOT HIT BY JET LI!?! what did it feel like? did it hurt for a few days after words? it seems like it would... hmmm... could you get up quickly? cuz after seeing romeo must die where near everything he did was computer generated... i dunno, i had my doubts... unless of course you were just making a general statement, however, by that logic, no matter who hits, you can always feel it, whether it hurts or not.

i don't dislike mr. van damme as a martial artist, i dislike him as an actor. he's a terrible actor; i can barely sit through one of his movies. granted, i haven't seen many, but even mr. segal is so bad it's funny. mr. van damme is just bad.

omg, monkeygirl, i just found out what your avatar is. i mean, i knew what it was, cuz i read it on the "reasons for avatar" thread, but i could never actually see it... i feel complete... anywho, i find that being shot 9 times makes one LESS attractive, personally... my sister likes him cuz he's from "the streets" whatever that means. i come from an avenue, personally, so i guess i'll never make it big

i don't like it, but i don't like rap, so that's probably biased. on top of that, my older sister has the cd, and has this thing about playing it fairly early in the morning, and, well, the cd player is right above my bed (my room is in the basement), and the bass wakes me up, so that's another reason for bias...

i've only seen the american one. oh, and mystery science theater 3,000: the movie is always awsome!

"but I don't get why everything children does includes a snack...not that I ever minded..." you know, that's a good point... i never realised that... why is that?

i'll need to use it again for the double post

"I double knot the strings on my top because if I don't it comes undone during class." ...actually, i don't think i ever even thought of double knotting them... is there an emoticon where the little yellow guy smacks himself in the head in stupidity?

"Then they will have nothing to moan about" that depends on how you prove it to 'em

i've never heard of it. but if you're irish (heck yeah!), just let you're soul guide you, it wont lead you wrong. irish pride, baby!

y'know, i swear i'm the only one who didn't like the ring. maybe it's cuz the audience i saw it with was sick. that woman gets knocked into that well, seemingly to her demise, and they all laughed. and yet, earlier in the movie, when she's walking down an alley and sees a ladder propt up against the wall, they all screamed in terror. i just wasn't scared at all through out the whole thing. actually, samara looks just like a girl i know
