It is hard to hear over the screaming chimps throwing feces at each other.

Make it an opportunity to use your editing skills.

By editing, I do not only refer to type-editing; I also mean filtering out whatever in the thread is not addressing the subject that interested you enough to join in. This is somewhat easier than tuning out screaming chimps, as you can select those posts you think are worthwhile and ignore those that you consider to be otherwise.

It isn't really that hard or time-consuming: normally, "screaming-chimp" posts start out in that mode--they don't usually begin looking reasonable and then suddenly switch gears to full-on tard-mode. Most of the time, it's pretty easy to see from the first phrase or two whether a post is worth further attention on your part, thereby averting any lengthy wading on your part.

You will also find, via this sort of "editing", that you spend a lot less time on the computer/phone/whatever...leaving more time to go outside and do active stuff.

In other words, just be a little more selective. Give it a try, if you haven't already done so. Truth be told, the screaming chimps will never, ever stop, no matter how much anyone complains. Pierre Boule was indeed a prophet.

Correction

Hitler was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment, and served only 9 months.

He never had a slight majority with the national elections, the result I recall from memory was 44% max, he gained a majority collaborating with another right wing party. He did get power having the Ermächtigungsgesetz passed, through a mix of intimidation, persecution of communists, and lies (to the Zentrum), with more than a slight majority.

The difference in treating his own army is also clear from the stats on executions of the ordinary rank and file. If memory serves me right, in the WW I 600 were executed for various crimes (on par with other countries), in the WW II about 50.000 (still better than Stalin's stats though).

Do you do anything? Do you even study any martial arts? I have a feeling you are wannabe, I think you are a pretender and shitty troll.

Fallacy much?

Scared to answer my question about what exactly is it that you do other than the deadly art of 20 minutes ice, 20 minutes heat?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL yeah, petrified.

I'm not sure what restrictions having a humpback, or whatever the PC term may be, entail, but if you don't make it out of YMAS you have no business asking me this question.

And since you were in the middle of mine and Wabbit's shitfest, jerking everyone except me off, you should already have part of your answer.

That said, if my (re)admission that I am not currently training martial arts will make you feel superior or that you have somehow won something, the answer is no.

But I likely still get more done in a day than you. So you still haven't really won.

cue "what are you doing here then?" rebuttal

So, I have a humpback. What of it? Only difference it makes is that instead of 6-6 and 250, I'm 6-2 and 250. You have a problem with people with bad backs that actually go outside? Am I not supposed to go to training because of it? I guess I could go to Paris and climb on top of the Notre Dame cathedral and ring the bells......that actually would be funny. You think that would bother me? I've been called worst, hell I fucking make fun of it myself. I may not be the best at bjj because of it but unlike you I don't use anything as an excuse to keep from being on the mats.

I do wander outside of YMAS, occasionally I do what I can to help with investigations but it's been awhile. I read the technique forums all the time, yet I know enough to keep my fucking mouth shut mr. judo has no strikes. I have a problem with morons trying to be smarter than what they think they are and will call you on it every single time.

As for my training I'll let you know.

three years Hapkido, John Murphy instructor

two months at a Gracie University place before I bought my house and then a three year lapse which also coincided with my absence from this board because if I am not training there is no need for me to be on here

Currently since November jits with Jeff Hennen who got his black belt in bjj from Allen Mohler. Your move hot shot ;-) /kiss

You completely missed my point. I'm no bully and do not find a humpback amusing. I merely said that because I do not know what standards to hold you to.

Where are these numbers coming from? I'm 6' 2" and 225lbs.

Lol I must be the laziest, excuse-making ************ for having priorities. Good point!

We'll see how that works out for you when you're 50, assuming whatever injuries you receive allow you to train that long since you refuse to know when to call it quits, or at least take a break.

You have yet proven anything.

Would you mind to elaborate on the time periods of training and rank obtained while training under said people?
