Ahm, I think you lost me on your last claim there... :) I am well aware of degrees of truth and degree of belief, certainty etc. But you seem a little too certain in your assumptions... "Nothing" - not anything - is random? Really...? Care to back that up with something more formal than...

There were lots of comments on the Euro selling and USD buying today in the markets. Check IFR and 4Cast.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Shahak An interesting book about Israel which is available on the Internet (Mininova etc) is: Jewish Fundamentalism In Israel "Shahak is a very brave man who should be honored for his services to humanity ... [He is] one of the most remarkable individuals...

So... Which of the systems you have practised is the best? :p

Capablanca, excellent points and observations. Also note how US foreign policy came to reverberate all the concerns of Israel through the Neo-con influence of the Bush administration. http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm PNAC was the brainchild of Neo-con...

TraderZones, If I come across as a Palestinian sympathizer for saying that people should have the right to vote and participate in democratic elections, then I guess you come from a pretty warped background. Albert Einstein spoke on religion as an agnostic, and he spoke on Israel and the Jews...

Andreas, so what you are saying is that - before, people were saying it was the will of some god, and now they attribute the heart attacks, diabetes etc to human lifestyle choices? OK. That sounds pretty reasonable and believable. :)

Right... Forget about laws and democratic rule. What do they know after all? The people know nothing, or what is best for them, and those stupid term restrictions should not stop someone AWESOME for perpetuating their benevolent rule over everyone. Bloomberg is the best there is and he...

You sound very apologist for elitism. What you said amounts to: "don't worry your pretty little head about these things, we'll fix it - trust us." You are not exactly sounding very competent, trustworthy, democratic or even a believer in free markets... :p

sho-tim, I hope you will answer about shared DNA between humans and monkeys when you return to ET again... :)

I think all Abrahamic religion is just what makes them polarize their surroundings into hating them. I am all for isolating the warring regions and letting themselves find a solution, and then be allowed into the rest of the world again. Their warring shit just ruins everyone else's day... If...

I understand most Brazilian Portuguese "dialects", but I must say that some of the dialects in Portugal are very difficult for me to grasp - like Porto and many rural dialects. In the south of Brazil it's more "chique" to have some kind of "dialect", while they mostly speak erroneously when you...

I understood your point, and agree that it is an oversimplification. That is why I said you were being unreasonable. :)

Hahaha, you are a zealous crazy BJJ nut. If you knew what we say about Sherdoggers (aka shitdoggers) on the largest tracker for MMA in the world - where we have all the instructional videos, lots of professional MMA, BJJ and other practitioners .. hehehe. I've debated martial arts for years...

Yesterday, Lula signed the deal to change Brazilian Portuguese from January 1st, 2009 - along with 8 other Portuguese speaking nations. Portuguese in Brazil is much more "evolved" than in Portugal, since they have included a lot more words - and "gíria" (slang) from Bahia and farther north.

Technique matters. Styles matter nothing. An open mind set is what is most important. You are just being zealous and unreasonable. I understand your point, but I completely disagree - and it is the importance of the fighter and his mindset that matters. Just like in real life and...

Any training has some value. :p Kyokushinkai practice full contact. Muay Thai practice full contact. Escrima practice full contact. Systema practice full contact. I did full contact Tai Chi with some Italian nut job, and was unable to use my hands for writing or typing for almost 2 weeks...

bjjtrader, well, then you just keep proving my point - style is not what matters - evolving, keeping an open mind is what matters. And that is within the prerogative of a fighter, not any style. Q.E.D.

Actually, "everything goes". :) bjjtrader, Krav Maga is mostly bullshit for normal people in my view, and for professionals - they need to be open minded.

Do you know what the expression "Vale Tudo" means in Portuguese? Do you know the history of BJJ and that Maeda was a Judo Ne Waza expert? Do you know anything about the Luta livre and BJJ history of Brazil? You seem delusional and ignorant at the same time. Styles are just bullshit. You need...
