I think the analogy with military units might not be the most accurate in regards to real Ninjas (the kind that are dead and gone for hundreds of years,i refuse to call anyone who lived in the last two centuries one.).
The most "reliable" accounts we have of their activities are more in the line of intelligence gathering and espionage, with the rest being the product of ignorance trying to fill voids and deliberate disinformation on their part?
Id be more willing to compare them to the CIA, both the actual work the agency does and the paradoid-conspiracies myths people buy into.
Ninjas as staple of fiction,i am also cool with, in so far as im getting good entertainment out of them...sure,why not. All i demand of my entertainment is that is it competently entertaining. Orcs and elves arent real but it didnt stop me from liking the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Theres nothing wrong with enjoying escapist entertainment and Fiction,whatever it´s form, as long as it doesnt get in the fucking way of you understanding what *reality* is and you functioning in it.
Some people like Mountainous there, start blurring the two in an attempt to deny how shitty they lifes are perceive to be,and thus embarrass themselves royally, thinkings that somehow that ammounts to any form of acomplishment ,or that he is in fact realistic specimen of a *fictional archetype.*Last edited by Escrimator; 3/04/2009 6:27pm at .

I was just going to say, I just started a course to become a microsoft nerd. You've got no idea just how right you are.
Nerd 1:"Nothing beats Shaolin Kung Fu"
Nerd 2:"I do shorinji kermpo, I could beat you if it wasn't strictly non contact"
Nerd 1:"Actually, shorinji is the japanese word for shaolin, it means..."
Nerds together:"Small Forest"
Nerd 3:"I do Taijutsu, I have sword skills"
Nerd 1:"Nyaaaa! Three section staff!"
Nerd 2:"Nyaaaa! Zen and inner peace!" (What the **** is up with nerds and "I'M ZEN")
Nerd 3:"Nyaaaa! Kubotan!"
Nerds together:"Nyaaaa!"
...and so on, while I try to eat my screwdriver. -

Despite how much I really hate MOUNTAINIOUS, he does provide some great entertainment. Everytime I think he's gotten as pathetic as humanly possible he goes and does stuff like this.
You just can't help but watch. It's like watching a car crash while being driven by Ninjas.
Can someone Gong Sau this fat **** already? He claims Bullshido and his other critics are fakers, wannabes who don't know the "martial essence" like he does. If you try to argue with him he'll delete+block you and send you PMs full of racial abuse.
I can't think of anyone i've met online who deserves an ass beating more than this douche. -
BJJ might make you a better ground fighter, but Judo will make you a better dancer.
