I want a Common Marmoset (pet)...

by MrMoe in

anybody know anything about "common marmosets" as pets?

they are a very small monkey - but don't really look like a monkey.

they are squirrel size and the type i want has large white tufts in thier ears.

Moe, if you want an unusual pet get a caiman, they grow to be six feet long and can eat your cat but they are darned cute for a cold-blooded carnivore.

i have been considering taking some self defense training for some time and with recent events this has moved up on my priority scale.. any suggestions on which type of martial arts would be best for a complete beginner.

i have never been in a fight in my life, have always talked my way out of trouble in the past.

but think its time to prepare myself for more.. thanks.

boxing is very inneffective against multiple opponents, chinese forms are designed to fight off many opponents at once.

Mui-tai kick boxing is a good style though, american kick boxing sucks

I personally, trained in Tae Kwon Do and Boxing, but from what I've seen on the "Ultimate Fighting Championship", Jujistu rules!
Tae Kwon Do won't do you any good if your legs are pinned in a grappling hold.

you are thinking of BRAZILLIAN jujitsu, a very differnt style than traditional jujitsu

Joelbear,

as an avid breakdancer I know many martial arts people and have seen and tried several styles... there are a ton of options available for you, great for a beginner.

Tai-chi- VERY deadly martial art, it is one of the few chinese disciplines that teaches death touches similair to what was shown in the recent jet lie movie kiss of the dragon. THis is a style that uses little strength and emphasises using your opponents energy against him while using as little as tour own as possible by alligning your bones to balance your body instead of using muscles.

Northern sryle kung-fu: The guy who taught me breakdancing practises this style. It has some beautiful forms such as mantis style

mantis style

Tae-kwon-do: the ballete of the martial arts world..very over-used, very common, kinda boring. Originally developed to fight opponents that were riding on horses, it uses a lot of kicks and arial attacks.

Karate: generic word used to describe tae-kwon-do and some other common forms. The exception is the fighting style developed on the island of okinawa in japan.

My favirote: CAPOEIRA!!!!!
This is an amazing african-brasilian martial art developed about 300 years ago when the african slaves were brought to brasil by the portoguese. It is made to look like a dance, since the slave owners forbade the slaves from practising self-defense. The styls is very beautiful, very graceful and is the style the modern dance of breakdancing is based off of.

It's not difficult for a beginner, especially angola style capoeira. Angola is slow, low to the ground and requires little power. Regional style is the more powerful, difficult form.

In general, I highly reccomend any style of chinese kung fu. Id stay away from the japanese styles like akido, jujitsu and others. The israli's have a very very lethal style, I forgot the name but the israli army trains in it and its very viscious. The fillipinos have some great styles also.

joel bear, the ironic thing you will find is the more adept you become at killing another human being with your bare hands in less than 5 seconds, the more likely it is you will never have to fight. Its more than a physical discipline its a mental and spiritual one, steeped in eastern philiosophy (or in the case of capoeira some afro-native south american ideals) and history. have fun!

Does anyone here believe the Bible?

by sawthelight in

jw
friends

ive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?

it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.

i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

bboyneko

How many here beleive the quran? The Bhagavad Gita? The Talmud? The Tao-te-ching? The Upanishads ? The Veda? (the veda is the oldest holy book in the world)

Just because youve had a bad experience in a fundamentalist cult dosent mean you need to stop beleiving in all of the above holy books god saw fit to bring to you. I cant beleive some people here dont think the Veda is not the word of god. Cretins! Cretins!

But umm..as has been pointed out mny times before to the zillions of people who have asked the same question over and over and over again: we are not MORONS..we didnt simply reject a book that is supposed to 'save' us becase of a bad experience, we rejected it cus we actually RESEARCHED it and looked at it CRITICALLY just as we looked at the JW's..the same basic premis works here-

If it is the truth it will stand up to scrutiny..if it is not it will crumble..and crumble it did. The bible is very very contradictory and full of hate and genocide ordered by god. Not my kind of book. Possiblt he mayans with their human sacrifices had a kinder rleigion than the ancient jews or early christians.

what to do if you happen upon a peace rally by stupid naive hemp-shirt-wearing college idiots, to teach them why force is sometimes needed: .

1) approach dumb rich ignorant student talking about "peace" and saying there should be, "no retaliation.

2) engage in brief conversation, ask if military force is appropriate.

What to do if you happen upon a peace rally by stupid naive hemp-shirt-wearing college idiots, to teach them why force is sometimes needed:

1) Approach dumb rich ignorant student talking about "peace" and saying there should be, "no retaliation."

2) Engage in brief conversation, ask if military force is appropriate.

3) When he says "No," ask, "Why not?"

4) Wait until he says something to the effect of, "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful and we should not cause more violence."

5) When he's in mid sentence, punch him in the face as hard as you can.

6) When he gets back up to up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to his values to strike you, because that would, "be awful and he should not cause more violence."

7) Wait until he agrees that he has pledged not to commit additional violence.

Punch him in the face again, harder this time.

Repeat steps 5 through 8 until they understand that sometimes it is necessary to punch back.
