Angus Posted January 18, 2002 Author Posted January 18, 2002 Uhuh...... Look, whatever. I'm pretty disappointed in a lot of people right now. It's a different culture. And who gives a **** about New York? How much skill and honour does it take to weild a gun? It must be tough living there but if u can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen. Oh and in case u missed it Javier - I'm 18, male, Australian, and have an ego larger that most commercial jumbo jets. Combine that with me ACTUALLY BEING TOUGH and you have your answer to the questions in the last post... Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Bon Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Angus, I am from Ausralia... and it IS NOT a cultural trait, or anything. Dude, I understand where you come from perfectly, I used to be like that. Ever since primary school until recently I would challenge people to a fight. How many of them fought ? None. I had to hit people before they would hit back, if they would hit back. I may have thought I was the big tough guy and they were the *****.. but I was actually the fool for doing it. Angus, you feel this way from previous events.. Perhaps you saw someone back away and someone called him a, 'wuss', or whatever. This is not Australian culture... I don't do it anymore, 'cause I know the girls I know don't like it.. They actually think the person who gets belted up, or walks away is the tough guy! Perhaps your friends see it differenltly... I don't expect people to agree, because we have all had different experiences which shape our understanding. Just as this is merely my opinion, not a fact, it is your opinion. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
Patrick Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 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. Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?
