Contrary to popular belief, I think most high school teachers aren't interested in 15 year old girls. Having said that, I wouldn't recommend fighting your teacher for any reason. If you do, it's almost a sure bet you will be expelled, and although people will think that it's cool for like, a week, you'll have to repeat the entire semester, maybe even the entire year of school.

I never said I was PROUD of it, I was merely answering the question posed by this thread. BTW, what is a "G" and a "GTA"? Anyway, I was 19 years old. That was 15 years ago! I have changed A LOT since then. I also said that when she did it again, I had learned my lesson; and walked away. I am now married to someone else whom I love, and I have 2 boys (6 and 3) that are my pride and joy. A "G" - A gangster. Also known as a dog or a homie. "GTA" - Some people use this term to refer to the Greater Toronto Area, but "GTA Vice City" refers to a video game in which you are a criminal/mobster-type guy and you do a bunch of crimes and junk to gain money. I've heard it's actually pretty fun.

Umm, Paul Wight isn't a fat guy. And, as mentioned, he can hurl a 300 pound guy with one arm.. so I'd imagine he could probrably brute force his way out of any hold and because he's 7'4" would likely be able to outreach anyone in the UFC. What's to stop a guy like that from just grabbing his opponent and throwing them facefirst into the mat?

I liked Disneyland. The whole place and especially EPCOT was very romantic at night.

There was a teacher at my high school who people said was mean and crazy. They didn't know what they were talking about, I think the man was very enlightened. At any rate, many people interpreted him as mean because he would kick people out of the class if he decided that they weren't serious about advanced mathematics. He'd usually also tell them that they would be more suited to taking consumer math instead. Although this was just honest advice, some people found it quite insulting. I say if you're such a dumb bitch that you break down and cry because someone belittles you, then you should stop breathing. The world doesn't need people like that. That's my opinion anyway. Also, as I've said before, adversity builds character and makes you a stronger person. If boot camp was all about hugging puppies and you got treated as equals and all that hippy nonsense, I wouldn't want to go into battle under your flag.

Actually, assuming your antimatter was made of some ferrous material, a magnetic field generated by the tokamak could easily suspend it in a vacuum. Anti-matter is exactly the same as matter in every way, except in the way that it reacts with non-anti-matter. ("regular" matter) Tokamaks do not suspend plasmas using matter, they use a magnetic field to suspend it in vacuum, because a hot plasma is so hot it would melt any material known to mankind, not to mention the extreme polarization of hot plasmas. Hot plasmas cannot be allowed to contact other matter, and a tokamak does this job. It will do the same for anti-matter. Also, the amount of energy required is irrelevant. The sun provides more energy than I will ever use, and it's energy is easily harnessed. Also, just to nitpick, power stations don't need to be powered, for obvious reasons.

Sidecutters are better! Just imagine the damage you could inflict in a grappling situation! Not as good as a gun or knife, but definately less conspicuous.

Well, one tactic popular among some gunfighters is to feign death, pretending they've been shot. Then when you look away they bust a cap. (simunitions, of course) It is important to always make sure the target is destroyed before moving on, or looting in the case of a robber. Plus, shooting things is fun, especially when you get to see the satisfying splatter. (of a simunition, I hope!)

Have you considered pitting them against each other?

Pressure points exist for sure. But the notion of a dim mak point is a pressure point that is supposedly so sensitive that you could kill a person, a HEALTHY person, just by striking it. That I would definately disagree with. Like I've said, many of these I've had people try on me, and although some of them hurt a lot, and some made my feel kind of tingly, I wouldn't call that death.

I realize that. Do you understand the use of the verb "argue"? If you do, you said that you know nothing. If you do not, you said the exact opposite of what you meant.

Paul Wight would kick all their butts. The guy may not have much training, but he's 7'4", 500 pounds, and has demonstrated the ability to hurl a 300 pound man with one arm.

It is a guy's responsibility to find out before fooling around with a girl. They are both equally guilty. However, instead of beating the guy up (which changes nothing) or leaving the girl, (which also changes nothing) you might instead consider locking them in a dungeon. This would effectively prevent it from ever happening again, as well as teaching them both a valuable lesson.

I never said that it was. I said that it can be contained in the same way as hot plasma. Because hot plasma is so hot, it cannot be held in any container made from matter. Similarly, anti-matter cannot be contained in anything made from matter. You can make a tokamak any size, and you can use it to contain anti-matter if you like. To discharge the weapon you could fire a small, RTG powered Tokamak containing a pellet of anti-matter. Alternatively you could annihilate the anti-matter and use the energy produced to launch a projectile at near relativistic velocities. Alternatively, you could use that same energy to stimulate a compressed gas causing it to emit coherent light waves at great intensity, like a super-high powered laser.

That is what you said. You said the grappler had the best chance of ending up on top. That makes it your argument. Thus, you are arguing that the better grappler has the best chance of ending up on top. Arguing something means expressing your argument, arguing WITH is diputing that same argument. The difference is very important.

Umm, I'm not. Since everyone was in awe I felt it should be pointed out that it's likely not as hard as it looks. Tell both sides of the story, so to speak.

Anti-matter can be easily and cleanly contained in a tokamak, the same way "hot" plasmas are contained. Anti-matter requires no maintainence if held in a tokamak. It will sit contentedly, just like a regular clump of matter. Particle accelerators vary in size greatly, so you can't really argue as to how big it has to be. Bigger ones are generally more powerful, but you can make them smaller than a house. It would take longer to make the anti-matter, but what's your hurry?

I had a feeling you would say this! However, for the majority of people, I believe what I said holds true. It certainly irritates me when I am stared at. You must be either very confident or a bit daft. Quite confident indeed. However, having said that, I do know at least one girl who doesn't like to be stared at either.

Well, a few months ago I was standing on a fast moving conveyor belt about 20 feet off the concrete floor without a safety harness. Allegedly, this was "dangerous." When I inquired with the gentleman who claimed it was unsafe, he said "it's just common sense!" So common sense dictates that that is dangerous? Falling 20 feet wouldn't be that bad, unless I was 80, and even if I was 80, it wouldn't matter unless I fell, which I wasn't going to anyway. Another example. Some punks were threatening myself and a couple of my friends with some knives. Common sense would dictate that we not attempt to escalate the situation, since we were unarmed ourselves. However, knives aren't dangerous until they attempt to coexist with the molecules in your body, and since they were not doing so, the danger was imagined. Hostile words ensued, and they soon realized that instead of commencing a mugging, they were about to become victims of a random act of extreme violence. If I had played the common sense game, I'd probrably have a friend with a damaged car, a damaged body, or a lighter wallet. In that situation, I was at a gas station. They first asked for money and my friend said "yeah yeah, keep on walkin." So they said, (basically) "yo man, I gotta knife I'm gonna cut you." Common sense would dictate running, or giving the money, or some other "peaceful" resolution. My solution? Flip open a zippo lighter, start up the gas pump, point the nozzle at them and shout "IS THAT SO?" As you might imagine, the so-called attackers quickly vacated their underpants. My plan worked a heck of a lot better than any so-called "sensible" plan. I realize that that may cause an explosion if you light the lighter, but.. so what? You can deal with that after.

It's hard to "prove" anything in MA, but anyone who knows anything would not argue that the better grappler has the best chance of ending up on top. I hate to disappoint you, but you were the one that said the better grappler would end up on top. Apparently, according to what you said, you just tore apart your own argument. I stated that the Gracies were probrably better fighters. As in, better fighters all around. I bet a 7th Dan in any type of Karate could absolutely pulverize a yellow belt in BJJ, does that make Karate better than BJJ? No, it just makes the 7th Dan a better fighter. That is why examples like this prove nothing. The Gracies fighters were just plain better fighters. I suspect they would have one regardless of the flooring. A) If you hit someone with a good shot and knock them down then they arent usally in a position to be a threat despite what they land on. if you knock someone out why does it matter if they hit their head on the way down? If I speared a person, they would likely fall to the ground. The spear itself is not likely to cause a knockout, until the person's head impacts the ground, that is. Knocking a person to the ground does not necessarily mean they will be knocked out or even seriously injured by the strike itself.

He also trains all day. I don't train all day and I wouldn't be surprised if I could land that after a few dozen shots at it for practice.

Yes, but if you were talking to someone who might NOT have heard of thailand you might use chinese instead because they've probrably heard of China. Believe it or not, there are people who don't know what Thailand is, let alone that the word Thai relates to it. Most of the people from this board probrably know about Thailand but depending on where you live, there may be a lot of people who don't. For instance, my "Louisiana" accent has nothing to do with Louisiana, it's the people from Louisiana that have a similar accent because of my French background, yet Americans don't realize that. Similarly, his "Thai" accent may not be from China, but that won't stop people from saying he has a "Chinese" accent. I doubt I could tell the difference.

Seems a bit hostile. But still, open hostility kicks butt.

That's not what I said. You claimed that "noone" used the term Chinese to refer to the far east. I wager there's at least one person who does, and maybe he is that person. Either way, what makes you think he's making it up? I don't see your logic behind that. Other people on the board you've never met and you give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they aren't just making it up, why are you so fixated on the idea that this guy is making it all up? EDIT: And no, only if I constantly referred to myself as "A pillock" would that make me "A pillock". I don't know what a pillock is, but "A pillock" would then be a proper name and would have no relation to something called a pillock. If I had a kid and named it "President," that wouldn't make it the President, but it would make it "President," as a proper name.
