There's a lot of dark things in this world. I always get the righteous anger mode, but it's really not at all useful unless you're going to turn anger into action. Being soraged doesn't make the world better.

...IP Tracking? >_>
Yeah. Other than do such a thing, it's real hard to...tackle such a person other than be appalled or aghast at them. The most reasonable I can conclude from experience is that whoever is behind the attacks on Vector is either:
1. A misogynist or someone who has some kind of mindset which is...biased, to say in the least.
2. Someone who had experienced bad things and is doing what was done to him/her in order to feel better or something.

Bleh. It's just totally alien to me why in the world someone would waste their time doing such a thing towards another person. In that context.

On a lighter note, the good people generally seem to outnumber the bad by a fair margin, hence why it stands out more when we meet someone who just wants to hurt others. It's what I tell myself, anyway.

Oh, hello there, exam I didn't know about. Fuck you too.

Someone say martial arts? *whistles innocently*

But yes, there martial arts forms that either include weapons or exclusively focus on them. Kendo/Iaido=fencing. In ninjutsu, I studied with sword, spear, staff, throwing weapons, bow, blowgun, and spent a little bit of time with stuff like the manrikikusari. In muay thai, I did a little training with tonfas, but I never got to use any Silat weapons, which I was disappointed about.

Edit: damn you, autocorrect.

Should  Ijust make a martial arts thread? I'm interested in what things other BAy12ers have done now. I've only started karate, which is basically all unarmed stuff (a bit with bo staffs and the like). You did ninjistu?

I'm now assuming you have magical ninja powers.

[MaximumZero]

I have a pretty extensive background in martial arts. There are some B12ers who assume that I can punch out bears, sharks, and the like. Some of them want to tie me to a plane so that I can punch out the sky when the weather gets disagreeable.

He's essentially Popeye without the need for spinach.

[Descan]

If he were to eat spinach, he would become Death, Face-puncher of Worlds.

[MaximumZero]

I actually eat spinach. It's the only vegetable I can eat.

That...actually explains a lot. I don't smoke a pipe, though.

[Dutchling]

I only eat spinach if it's on a pizza.

I use to take Tae Kwan Do when I was little, but stopped because it grew too tiring for me somewhere around purple belt. These days if it wasn't for them being all the way up in the city I would so sign up for classes at the Chicago Swordplay Guild, which does count since they also teach unarmed combat :3

O_o
...Taekwondo has a purple belt?

Taekwondo was officially created in Cold War, in Korea (it has roots in different styles that were mch older, but they weren't Taekwondo). That caused a mssive political bullshit which ended in different schools and asociations around the world.

The asociation in which there is a belt rank that is purple is the American Taekwondo Asociation, I think.

Well, Max. Are you a multi-armed deity in India?

[Neonivek]

Well, Max. Are you a multi-armed deity in India?

Honestly with what I know about multi-armed Indian deities, that can be a good thing or a bad thing.

Lets just say, if you see someone with multiple arms carrying weapons... RUN! though it probably won't help you.

[Descan]

Well, if it's Max, weapons won't really affect it either way.

Indian Deities tend to avoid reigning judgement on us polar bears.

Ever since we captured a minor god (some old religion from fifty thousand years ago), they've been worried.

I cannot believe you forgot about the great polar bear deity.... Nanook

I am pretty sure wrestling Polar Bears, is one of the trials of becoming one of the strongest people alive.
At least that's what Greenlandic folklore taught me.
