Defense Against Lowkicks: How Not to Do it (Title Edited)

Nice kick sweep.

wrong answer. That an assault is creating the fear or immediate apprehension of a battery. I battery is harmful or offensive touching. Kicking someone in such a way that they are going to fall on the cement is a slam dunk felony aggravated battery. But try it yourself and find out some time.

By the way, I agree that people should realize this can happen when they act this way and don't feel sorry for that chick at all. You just can't have a civil society with people feeling entitled to drop someone on the cement for a thrown drink.

Ahh you navigated through to an actual video I was trying to work out how you got sound from a gif....

Sounds like he's don't something she didn't like off camera and he's not a native English speaker. She also sounds like she's pretty battered from the way she's slurring at him.

Yes...yes it's true, it even caused quite an uproar, people were against the necrophilia thing all over the place. Even the religious guys didn't like it.

Funny part is: There was actually a question of HOW a woman was to have sex with her dead husband you know because of...a little problem. It caused some debate and it was pretty funny.

Surprisingly though, the 14 year old thing didn't get much opposition. Maybe the necrophilia thing is a diversion, to propose such a preposterous law to get away with such little things .

Also, early marriage happens sometimes (not just for girls) in some rural parts of the country, and is considered not a big deal there.

The subject of marriage in Egypt is so fucking frustrating you don't even know the half of it.

Don't suppose you have any links to any Egyptian/ Arab world news sites about it being debated in parliament and being rejected etc...

Someone I know is trying to claim that the whole thing has been made up by a British newspaper and doesn't believe the Arabiya link is the primary origin of the story.

Some people say it's just a rumor made up by some guy who supports the removed president.

Some people say it's a joke.

But it was a subject of huge debate. I can give you links but it's all in Arabic, I don't think you can use them to prove anything if you don't know Arabic.

This is the most credible link from a pretty good newspaper, and it says the whole thing is a big rumor http://www.almasryalyoum.com/node/807531, another one accuses the guy who made the rumor of being a liar http://www.bokra.net/Articles/116867...87%D8%A9_.html.

One thing for sure though whoever made it up wasn't a British newspaper.

I guess that depends on how you define civil. A samurai, for example, could cause some very serious harm to a lower class person for some very minor offenses (far less than throwing a drink in someone's face). Of course, you could say that they weren't civil and that would be that.

As a wise man once said, don't ever escalate to an argument from verbal to physical unless you're willing to take it all the way.

I hope that dude got his ass stomped by the other guys at the party, though.

I'd watch that video. Leg kicks v. multiple opponents! Do they work? Another martial arts mystery solved.

Actually, tossing the drink would be considered battery too. Too bad that no cop would waste his time with the tossed drink, or would any jury work in his favor for the low kick. That is before we even get to the point that he is middle eastern, and most americans don't like middle eastern..

Sometimes I imagine myself having to explain how offensive it is when people act like that. In Gainesville Florida, these female patrons who wanted to get into an Egyptian hookah lounge kept saying "hey, why don't you speak english!" thought 1. way to strengthen the 'florida is a god-forsaken place infested with mosquitos' stereotype. thought 2. 'why are you trying to go into this egyptian establishment to begin with?

I'll tell you why mate because it's a delicious smoke that everyone should have that's why.

I'd offer to buy you some if you were here so you could at least have a taste.

It's the Egyptian equivalent of buying someone a drink.
