Respect

[lordtariel]

heh... my backside saw my parent's hand many a time and it didn't mess me up. As long as it's not done in anger, spanking's not a big deal. My parent's also had a lot of luck through punishment by exercize. We had an acre yard and I had to run many laps as well.

I like the lap running. I will keep that one in mind. (Do your forms, now!!)

Is it just me or do the Martial Arts not get the respect they once did? Anybody got a take or specific story related to this? One thing that p*sses me off is when you tell someone you do Karate and they say "Ya I got a blackbelt" and they point to a leather strap holding up thier pants. One more time and I'm going to kick someone in the throat. We'll see if they have anything to say after that.

There's always going to be some fool who wants to put someone down. They're just jealous, envious or ignorant. Sometimes all three. I don't advertise to people that I train, however at my job, if they don't think you have a life after work, then they'll expect you to stay there all night. I wish I would have said I volunteer at a shelter or something, because every once in a while somebody at work will make some stupid remark to me. So I just downplay it constantly....
