  Any martial artists?

  martial arts is the one thing the elders and i verbally sparred over for about 5 years.

  it wasn't until i got df'd that i was able to attend an "official" class.

  i had trained vicariously for about 4 years with a friend of mine who was a student of isshinryu karate.

  When I was in high school (the late 80s) I took Tang Soo Doo for about 3 years. Tang Soo Doo is very similar to Tae Kwon Do; they are both Korean Karate styles that stress kicks. Throughout my 20s I was either in the org or struggling with leaving so I was not associated with any school, but missed the training greatly. About 3 weeks ago I started taking Tae Kwon Do at a local studio and I am loving it. I must admit I am in terrible shape but I think this is just the thing I need to get healthy again.

  My favorite part of the training is the sparing, to joy of punching someone in the head cannot be overstated. Our school uses low contact for the lower belts and as you progress the sparing moves towards full contact. Its kind of funny because I am a white belt again but had previously been a red belt. While I cannot kick for beans I have not lost much of my hand speed or blocking ability so when I spar some of the lower color belts I trip them out; lets just say I am not what they expect from a white belt.

  One difference I have noticed between Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Doo is that Tae Kwon Do stresses the sport aspect of the Karate more. I think this is very cool I have never participated in a tournament but when I get into a little better shape I am looking forward to it.

  Inglewood cops are insane

  what the hell is up with the inglewood cops?

  i hope the cop that threw the punch not only gets fired but has criminal charges brought against him.

  what makes it worse is those dumb-asses are going to make it harder for the good cops (that make up 90% of the police force) to do their job, because everyone is going to assume all cops are like those creeps.

  There wasnt a current events folder so I posted under sports because it seems like a number of LA area cops are making police brutality into a sporting event.

  in an article in the guardian:.

  airlines warn of huge delays over blunkett security plan.

  it says:the government wants airlines to provide the name, gender and home address of each passenger, together with the number of pieces of luggage they are carrying, before each plane can take off.. .

  I would be interested to hear about Europe, but in America airport security is a joke. The security at airports is being conducted by the lowest rung of our workforce. Were talking about fast food level employees here. Couple this with the fact that any kind of intelligence is considered profiling and not legal. So in some cases 80 year old ladies are being strip searched and 20 to 40 year old males are being waved through. I think the terrorist just dont have any trained pilots left or they would repeat 9-11.

  Test: Where do you stand politically?

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.

  i took the test and got the following result:.

  your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.

  Economic left/right = -.25

  Auth. / Lib. = -3.44

  I knew this would be about where I stand, I am a moderate. I noticed this board tends to swing left.

  Interesting, Well happy 4th I will be spending it with my family down in the bay area.

  My advice is that the Old Hippy is just attempting to hijack this thread for her own rants just ignore her and post what youre doing to celebrate our wonderful nations independence. Honestly if you want to rant about something start you own thread dont hijack someone elses thread. Terry <p class="editedBy">Edited by - jelly on 4 July 2002 7:23:17</p>
