Treebranch Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 The whole gun thing. It's a joke. Hahahahahaha!

JerryLove Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sorry, the question "what's the best opening hit" is a bit of a groaner (and not entirely ontopic); so I kind of went off-topic to respond. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Depends on what open. I like the bait and wait tactic myself if there is time for that. It's good to get a clue how someone fights before you really engage. Hammer blow to the bridge of the nose is always nice followed by a driving toe kick to the groin.

Drunken Monkey Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 go for a gun... you guys see 'bowling for columbine'...? i know it's kinda old but it seemed relevant to mention it again. it's so hard to believe that there is so much difference between our two nations. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Treebranch Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Oh, yeah! Sorry. You don't have to yell.

JerryLove Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I don't know about England (though I hear Scotland has a real problem with knife violence and soccer riots are far from unheard of); but I was talking with a friend in sweeden, who has a broken rib from where the police beaat him, and it seems that an awful lot goes on the Europe, by way of violence and brutality, that would not be tolerated in *my* state. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart the Lover Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 JerryLove: You are correct; parts of Scotland do indeed have a terrible problem with knives. It isn't the whole country, though. It is mainly a problem for the west--Glasgow in particular. The Highlands and the east of the country are much safer. Football has actually cleaned up its act in recent years, however. It's England that has the trouble with football hooligans, now. You do get sectarian violence, though (both inside and outside football). I think Drunken Monkey was just reflecting that whipping out a gun seems (from our perspective) a little Wild West! I don't think he was claiming Britain or Europe to be a violence-free idyll. And surely police brutality happens everywhere? Regards, Bart the Lover p.s. I thought your article was very interesting and informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryLove Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 There is a difference in levels of acceptance. Anything you'd care to imagine happens everywhere; but it's prevelence and how acceptedit is varies. From my talk with the Swedish guy, when the broken rib from being beaten by police came up in court; the judge recommend him just not mentioning it and had it removed from the record... That would not happen here. Gun ownership is higher here, so gun violence is more common. We whip out weapons the same as you whip out weapons... it's just more likely that ours is a fiream than for you. So just imagine what you have throughout Europe (The US varies by local to) and replace somteims the knife came out with a pistol. https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
