The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I have snow day
I go back to bed at 5:40, figuring I'll get a hold of Statt around 9am
Statt gets on at 5:45, while I spend the next 2 and half hours in bed, thinking of her
Now she's probably mad at me still :(

Well the only martial art i'I've tried was Judo xD and it was at school. I kicked ass, but my size also helped.
Maybe one day i'll go to Japan and you'll teach me how to be like Kung Fu Panda :p

Judo is ridiculous. I do not call it self-defense. cx Pull a throw like that onto someone on cement or marble flooring and you'll probably inflict permanent injury or death. :lol: Call it what you like, but even though it's supposed to be watered-down jujitsu (ironically, Judo means "The Gentle Way"), it's violent and more than capable of maiming someone. cx Even with falling techniques and matting you still get hurt. Am I right? :lol2:

But in all seriousness, and I hope you don't mind if you fellate your ego a little, you are too. I mean it. Des is a lucky guy. cx
