Sure you are, doesn't mean it can be substantiated as well as others, though.

I know lots of dads and I know lots of parents.You do not need to have kids to know what it takes to be a good parent to some degree. I'll give whatever advice I choose. He can ignore it.
I certainly don't. But you're obviously a little more clueless than other childless advice givers.

It's okay. I'll address your point if you actually address mine.

And, thanks for interjecting a strawman with the "wanting to hurt others" thing. It's like...that's the only way you know how to argue.
There's a difference between burying your fist into the face of the person you hate most, and getting a thrill from a competitive match.
The difference is more psychological than chemical. One is more psychological than the other. And, pretty much every human on the planet desires to do the same thing, at one point or another, when they really hate someone. Even you, Mr. Self-Righteous. BTW, it's the same exact thrill you get from playing a video game against someone, same exact thrill you get from playing a football (soccer) match, running a sprint, etc. When I say "same thrill", I'm even referring to the biological mechanisms that go with it, too. But, I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand that.

I do it because it keeps me fit, I enjoy it and I appreciate the disciplines. That's as far as I need go. I know enough to know you're an idiot about it.

In another conversation, we can talk more about that.

Sounds like you need to see a professional. Seriously. There's no reason you should be getting pissed off so much. I get pissed off at someone once a year. This thread is the first time in a while, sir. What were you saying about childish, immature, angry...etc?

Part of being disciplined in any martial art is knowing precisely when not to fight; any time that isn't absolutely necessary.
And that depends on the discipline being studied, too. But, thank you, Mr. Miyagi, for that wonderful insight.

I'll give advice on whatever I want. If my points are credible and sensible, it doesn't matter who has kids and who doesn't. Plenty of parents haven't got a first clue on how to raise them; having kids doesn't entitle you to be void of criticism.
You certainly CAN give your advice, and boy do you give it, but that doesn't mean it's credible or will be listened to. Duh?

So, if your son thinks fighting is awesome; begins getting into fights in school and such, you're not going to tell him it isn't cool to do that, or are you?
Obviously I'll tell him that it should only be used as defense. If someone is egging him on, physically threatening him, and he offers to take it outside, then I'll applaud him for being a gentleman about it.
Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
Yeah, there's a difference between fatherly protection; using fighting for defense (SHOCK! MY POINT ALL ALONG!), and using it as a means to get a boner or get thrills.Obviously this is lost on you.
Defending myself from an a**hole and defending my children. Similar, but not the same. But I'm not the one who brought up that strawman argument, you were. (Does it REALLy surprise you that you brought it up?)
Actually, it's even more important for my kids than myself.
Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
Typical, old-man, bullsh*t rhetoric; "You don't know about kids if you ain't got them.".As I said to Hiker, there are plenty of ways to learn about something and be well educated on the subject without actually being involved in it. I am not denying there are aspects to parenting you do not experience until or IF you are one. However, this does not mean anyone without a kid has a void opinion on parenting, and you're stupid if you think otherwise.
The only ones who'll agree with you are parents with the same jaded mindset.
Nah. It's just that you seem a little clueless. Duh?
Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
Yeah, remember; this is a debate about fighting being something you use out of necessity, not fun or thuggish obsession. I never once said "Don't use it to protect loved ones.".
You brought up kids because you like personal attacks. Cool. I'm fine with that. If you don't want to talk about kids when I've pwned you, that's fine. We can move on.
And, fighting is fighting is fighting. Just the reasons for the fight are different.

Don't be such a damned hypocrite. You sound like a cowardly war general sending men into battle.Rules to a street fight? It's a street fight; fight it to win or don't fight it at all. This proves your delusional fantasising about fights; you feel fights are some kind of honourable man-sport, even in unsanctioned areas. Be a gentleman? YOU don't know the first thing about street fighting, if that's your opinion on it. The point of street fighting is to come away better off than the other guy, that's the fact. If you are twice my size and twice as strong, I'm not going to abide by your rules for the sake of earning anyone's respect. You do what you can to overcome your opponent; save the code of conduct for sanctioned sports.
Typical boyish nonsense. Fighting isn't honourable unless it's sporting. Street fights have no rules, there is no "be a gentleman". Fight it or don't.
Yup. You're clueless. You just got done spouting "only in self-defense" Mr. Miyagi B.S., now you're giving me, of all people, advice on how to street fight?
I'll tell you what: I'll keep NOT getting into street fights, and you keep giving out your "expert" parenting and street fighting advice.

Wrong. You haven't been right about anything. Nor have you been wrong about most things. It's your opinion. Fighting when someone threatens you is fine, in my book. I just think the stakes need to be checked before fighting. Duh?

Trolling and being a troll are 2 different things. Neither of which, I am or doing. However, a 3rd party could easily accuse you of trolling.

Drop the paper-premise of "They were controlled.". If they weren't sanctioned fights, they were bullsh*t. Don't continue using that nonsense rhetoric of "Fighting is honourable if you do it like a gentleman!".
And you say your study martial arts? Mr. Miyagi, you're supposed to respect the fight, respect the opponent, and respect the art. I guess you're just a Karate Kid watcher and not an actual martial artist.
Fighting can be fun and enjoyable. Especially if the person you are fighting is hated. But you wouldn't know anything about that because you got your "ideas" of fighting from a movie.

Most of my fights? No. Have I been into more street fights than most people have in controlled fights? Absolutely.
Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
your aim is to defend yourself and overcome your opponent enough to either stop the fight or escape. Don't bring rules and then call the other guy a p*ssy when he doesn't abide by them; that's what YOUR kind of "man" does.
No. It's to knock the other guy out, when he comes to, make amends, and become friends. Of course, some people start fights just to destroy the other person, which is the person you're trying to characterize me as. If you would have actually paid attention to my posts, you would already know that the fight it to work towards a solution, faster.

Great. And I've made similar points in the GDF, already. Nothing new here. These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Still doesn't change that I haven't been in a real fight in ages.

Kicking someone's ass for saying you're annoying is not mature. If anything, it's proving him right.
He was physically threatening me so I offered to make this more than petty insults...he didn't just call me annoying.
And, no, it just means I was ALMOST retarded enough to get into a fight on college campus.

Going back to what you said first; it's funny. What you described is exactly who Dadudemon is. I'm sure you know that already, though. Everything you just described is typical, 100% Dadudemon.
Odd, beacuse I admit when I'm wrong. I've done it about a dozen times on KMC, alone.
I guess your libel didn't work?
Originally posted by Alpha Centauri
Anyway, I've had my fun with this thread, so now I'll not ruin it further. Dadudemon's next reply will go unanswered...publically. I will reply to him via PMs and leave you all to your thread.(The best way to end any fruitless debate with Dadudemon is to strip him of an audience, for future reference)
-AC
I'll not reply to your PM, if you take this "debate" to PM.
And, it's not a debate. It's you making personal attacks on me and my family beacuse I wanted to knock out someone who was annoying. Sue me.
And if you want to talk about other things in PMs, that's cool.

Maybe. You're in better shape than I am. I still haven't lost any fights, street or otherwise. What do you think? If I can get this guy in a ring, would you consider also becoming KMC TV fighting material?

No, a solid slap across the face is often enough to handle most 'bad-assess.'
I'm not round, so you tell me.
Quantity isn't connected to quality, if all you did is fight cripples, then sure, you'd [probably] have a perfect fight record.
Don't understand that question?
