foreveryoung001 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I don't know, by today's standards, maybe it would make good TV. The latest reality series... See how little Joey got a concussion on Americas Funniest Child Endangerment Videos... FOX TV might pick that one up. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

foreveryoung001 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Al Qaeda's Funniest Child Endangerment Videos? Tonight on FOX, see how Al Qaeda members treat their own family members. And see the hilarious out-takes from their Martial Arts practice sessions. Fun for the whole family....... Uh, maybe not. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

DLopez Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah, it is just the idea of "using" the child in the first place. Perhaps another assiatant or method could have been used. I gotta admit, I'm still intrigued by this question!!! I understand you are worried about the "what if" something goes wrong. But the fact that you are certain that something will go wrong and only by a miracle that nothing did go wrong is what fascinates me!! The conclusions drawn that whoever would do such a thing is completely reckless and uncaring for their child is such a leap, unless you somehow convinced yourselves that no one could be skilled enough to do such a thing without any danger being presented to the child. Exactly what was it that convinced you this guy was just a hair's breadth away from removing the child's nose? DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

47MartialMan Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Why take such risks for a mere demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Okay, I've been hinting and hinting, but you're just not getting it. Why do you insist that this person is taking a risk? How do you know this person isn't so good that there is no risk at all? Do you not have any capabilities at all that you are just so good at, that there is no possibility of any other outcome than what you intend? C'mon, surely you're good at something! I don't fault anyone for being concerned about the well being of children, but really, you know absolutely nothing about the person on this video or his capabilities, yet you have concluded that he is reckless, uncaring, and dang lucky he doesn't kill the child. I just don't get it. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

thaiboxerken Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Why can't you leave the child at home? Surely there are countless ways to arrange not having to transport your child in a vehicle. It may not be convenient, but I guess that means theres a level of inconvenince, above which makes putting your child in danger OK? It's not only inconvenient, but impractical. The child will not grow up to be a productive citizen if they are simply locked in the house for their entire life.As far as accomplishing anything of value, that is a subjective opinion on your part. You might not find anything of value in such a demonstration, but others may. What value is done here, entertainment? I don't agree that entertainment like this is really a good reason to risk smacking a child in the face with a deadly weapon.As far as statistics go, no I don't have the relative statisitics, but do you honestly believe I'm making up how deadly riding in a car is? Yes. Look it up on your home state's government website if you doubt it. It's public information. Now I have to look up evidence to support YOUR claims?BTW - I've not heard of a single nunchaku demonstration death that I can recall - child or adult I doubt one smack would kill the kid, but it could do some serious bone structure damage in the facial area.

thaiboxerken Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 i haven't seen the show. maybe you could explain how it works. A line is run from the target to the arrow and attached with the use of sleight of hand. A machine reels the arrow to it's target.

foreveryoung001 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Why do you insist that this person is taking a risk? How do you know this person isn't so good that there is no risk at all? From the simple fact that he swung a potentialy dangerous weapon at a child's head. I don't care who this guy is, or how many years he's trained, or how many times he has practiced this exact same move. There is always, ALWAYS a risk. The question is; is it an acceptable risk? IMHO, when there is a child involved, it is never an Acceptable risk, especially when an adult, would not make this particular demonstration any less effective. To swing a weapon at a childs head, be it nunchucks, a sword, or anything else that could potentially damage the child, is reckless! Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

thaiboxerken Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 yes i know the use of a child is questionable but how do you know that the child is actually in any real danger of being hit? Because the nunchuk is swung in that direction. Unless there is some magic trick being done, then the kid is in some danger. Maybe the guy staged the event and placed himself where he couldn't physically touch the kid with the chuk. If that's the case, then this is a magic trick.
