The Abrahamic religions are founded on a basket of human weaknesses and inclinations: escapism, darwinism, authoritarian rule, fear, indoctrination http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwinism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt_society...

Libertarians are not always inclined to anarchism (I'm closest to Anarcho-capitalism - a type of anarchism), but most are for minarchism. Pabst seems more for authoritarian type ruling, so he seems more neo-conservative or similar. I could understand his anti-Obama stance if he said he was a...

Self-aggrandizing stupid shit disgusting humor... Worthless and with a newsworthiness of a fly taking a shit. Junk news. Pukeable... Commoditizing pure shit and selling it as "insightful" or "funny". :p Jon Stewart is funny, Sarah Silverman is pathetic like Borat/Ali G/Cohen and Howard Stern.

Isaac Asimov - my favorite author, was a secular humanist and vice president of Mensa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov Are you calling him stupid? Albert Einstein had a political agenda with the formation of Israel, and being a...

Pabst, do you see yourself as a libertarian? If you are in favour of Laissez-faire etc, but do not adhere to the Non-aggression principle; then you are within http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolibertarianism , and frankly - just contradicting yourself. I would say you were even swaying...

If you are worried about knife and firearms being used against you - my best advice is for you to move to somewhere else. The defense techniques against weapons all focus on controlling the hand, wrist and extended arm up to the shoulder. Speed, reflexes and correct judgement of opportunity...

There was a Jeet Kune Do fighter in UFC88 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Boetsch . He has been doing quite well. Speed is important - for every striking technique. :) Anderson Silva has Muay Thai, TKD and BJJ as his repertoire. Those knees made a permanent imprint on the soul of Rich...

Fractals, are you really Jewish if you have 1/8th of Jewish "bloodline"? Do you practice Judaism? I can't really see how you "fit" into the "Jewish" ethnicity... :)

Anyone can take out 2 guys if they are ruthless enough. If you go for the eyes, you can take out more than 2 guys ... Grappling becomes difficult with any kind of strikes or small joint techniques. Even Judo has a lot of ground techniques with Ne waza... To be effective at an "advanced age"...

The dirty boxing and unorthodox boxing is what makes MMA so different from pro boxing. Pro boxing is much more dangerous as a sport than MMA because of the repeatedly and long-wound strikes to the head. I know several now retired competing boxers who absolutely hate boxing and the damage it does...

My take on this is that each TKD club is different, and WTF are more woossies than ITF. Where I ran my club, we did full contact - and we also used elbow strikes extensively - and this was even before the 1990s... Then at university I instructed semi-full contact classes for a WTF club. There...

I trained martial arts for close to 20 years, and half of that time as an instructor. I have been through Judo, Sambo, Tae Kwon-Do, Kickboxing, Hapkido and some other variants (like full-contact Tai Chi of all things, hehe). Here's my take... Top MMA practitioners like Sebastiaan Rutten and...

Remember - in the US a woman will take at least half of your fortune, and crush you personally in the process... So, choose wisely; the choppy market conditions and prescription drugs may be against you. :)

Manage your time like a budget and an economy. You put in some balance of social activities to get your life going. Make a calendar and plan a core structure. Instead of letting trading activities overwhelm your life - get some structure in there and budget yourself into social balance. Know...

Obviously, people hear and see what they want to... supporting their own views. I was looking at the monitoring graphs, and there McCain was less popular with all groups overall. McCain was much more polarizing, while Obama managed to get everyone to agree with him - especially on...

Fractals, I think Europe is far more concerned with ethics than morals... the US is far more puritan and enforce strict morals on its citizens. Morality concern the ideas and actions of "everyone", while ethics guide the concern for an individual's actions.

After Sarah Palin has lost her bearings within the whole republican campaign apparatus of strategies, she will be as fluff as a melting marshmallow under the intense light next Thursday in the VP debate. She better prepare her best cotton mouth... chill a little with some buddies and get...

If you ignore opinions of people who don't agree with you, only interact with your friends and people of similar mind - then you actually ARE living in a cocoon and will eventually stray away from the rest of society. Not exactly a recipe for successful living - even though you think you are...

IFR and Thomson Financial always was very good... for technical analysis, trend analysis and market focus commentary.
