Bio:
Photographer, programmer, and a constitutionalst.

You'll notice that my videos lean towards videos on rights and abuse of power. I don't like it when power is abused because it makes it harder for the rest of us to do our jobs.
I love the mix of liberal and conservative views on the sift as it makes for good discourse. No I don't trust politicians, not a single one.
I like to write. If you haven't noticed in my comments, but I don't like to edit my writing. :P

Not sure, this post was hella off when I looked at it again this morning. Maybe I was a in a rush, I think it may be due to the Guinness though.

How is this an Election08 sift?

I have to agree with those Kokyunage(breath throw) like a ki ball. Most Kokyunage can be done more effectively with a goshinage. You think aikdio is bad... you should check out Aiki Jutsu... I was almost thrown out of the seminar for laughing out loud when he did a hocus pocus pin... with no hands.

Just looking on that above post, i saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX-hGLuheDc&feature=related
How on earth is that taken seriously? I understand the intention of demonstrations, and how they can be changed or manipulated to suit a situation, however these people are simply falling over for him. He moves his hand towards them and then literally flop down like a house of cards.
The knife one was alright, and elements of it could definitely be used in a real situation.
That is Ukemi, and that is what gives Aikido a bad name. We could argue all day.
In a lot of these movements particularly sankyo nage there is immediate pain, and flopping down will let the other guy know that it hurts... like hell.
Ukemi is an integral part to practicing safely, in this way every one can live though 2 hours on the mat.
When you are more experienced you can go as fast as you like so long as you are ready for the injuries that will come with that.
In a real situation you do what you were trained to do, in my training I would reach for a weapon.
I believe he was mentioning the throws that were totally unrealistic, like the one where they each have two hands on an arm, and he just tosses them by swinging his arms and stepping forward. Most of Aikido is bullshit, learn Judo.
Did you watch the video i posted? Because i insist that the 2-person take down shown first (i think, i only watched it once) was just a case of him moving his hands towards someone's face, and if you watch their feet, they literally throw themselves to the ground.
That's the stuff i think has no use. If there's a way to take down 2 people at once, then brilliant, i'm sure it takes a lot of skill and training and i'm sure it isn't pretty. But someone throwing themselves to the floor? That does the teacher no good and it does the pupil no good.

Cop using aikido the way it was meant to be used and ... kinda funny.
That's the problem with demonstrations... is they are pretty and they do not explain the nitty gritty, this is due to the lack of hardcore trainees.
People wanna see flashy super moves that will make them supermen, but this is not how the real world is, and in the Ideal world we would win every time. But in the real world we never ever know what will happen.
EDIT: You should always be skeptical, and remain so because it gives you an edge.

Hi... i thought I would reply to an old comment of yours, take from it what you will.
What hath god wrought? - Common saying among the religious and non religious.
There have been incidents (wars) throughout history portrayed by all religions, what people would do in god's name.
So when you say that Islam is bad, you must take into account all of the deeds that every other religion has taken part in.
Buddhists in Taiwan, christian fundamentalists (theocons, crusades), Jewish and Palestinian, Palestinian and Jewish, protestants and Catholics in Ireland, and these are only the monotheistic religions.
I'm not a defender of Islam or any religion for that matter, but I am a defender against fundamental religion. So yes religious zealots (extremists, terrorists) are fucked up, it matters not what religion they are from. Only that Islam has gotten so much publicity over all of the other atrocities that have been committed in gods name.

Now I hate fear mongering propaganda as much as the next person but you gotta admit, Radical Islam is pretty fucked up, right? I mean, you do see how far off the deep-end some of these people are?
In reply to this comment by NordlichReiter:
Do not accuse me of any thing.
If you are formally accusing me of something then out with it!
Other wise I will continue to support freedom of opinion, even if I don't agree with it.
In no way does my supporting free speech make me liable for some one's post.
Edit: And in no way does my position on this subject make me anti semitic.

Nord, You don't have complete freedom of speech here, there are posting guidelines. If you don't like it, turn it off or find another forum.
What is it w/ some of you out there that think they can say whatever they feel like? You DID agree to play nice when you signed up did you not?
If you want freedom of speech around here then ask admins to remove the RULES.

Godamn, this is what I like to see.
Revolution is the Pod
Systems rattle from
When the Winds of Will are stirred
Excellent is Bloom
But except its Russet Base
Every Summer be
The Entomber of itself,
So of Liberty --
Left inactive on the Stalk
All its Purple fled
Revolution shakes it for
Test if it be dead. - Emily Dickinson
