Oh, right, you're just a troll.

Ah, for the days of misspent youth.

BTW, I've read all of both Tintin and Asterix in both english and french. Really no difference for Tintin.

As for popular and exciting? That's the boring part where an idiot stops all the action because he's being a meathead.

The ratio of meatheads is very low. I think at most we would have 1 kid in class who wasn't capable of controlling his aggression and that's about it.

Of course, with the invasion from the US that might be changing, but in my time even the bullies were kind of polite, i.e., if you didn't engage them they wouldn't do anything. Never saw 1 fight in grade school. Saw 1 fight in highschool where they just circled and not a single punch was thrown. The only fights I saw were inter-school, that's how low the ratio of idiots was. Even gang fights were pretty unspectacular and it was usually just one individual having a problem with another. I once saw an encounter between a bunch of black guys and a white supremicist and all they did was make the guy remove his white laces.

Well, that's a nice pipe dream. ;)

I used to be an idealist myself. Then I smoked way too much weed and realized that people do not hear what you are saying. They hear your words being said by themselves.

Since people can't see what they don't know and basically just hear themselves talking I've since moved on to the long term tactic of echoing back to them with less noise. The hope being that if they really do only hear themselves, then eventually they might clue in as to what is going on.

No signs of hope yet...

The first sentence that pops into my head that starts with 'Dude!' is 'Dude, where's my car!'.

Take another look at that first response while not influenced by the later responses which were mimicking but also amplifying his tone.

Hey, notice I'm talking to you like you're talking to me?

Of course, it is the preffered form of combat for meatheads but is rarely used in martial arts.

Unless of course you know your physics and how to impart the proper force to generate the necessary torque to knock someone out by overloading their trigeminal or vagus nerve. Suprisingly doesn't require much force at all, and yet something that most fighters are ignorant of... well, except Anderson Silva.

Definitely nothing close at all to my experience growing up in Canada.

But hey, always best to talk to people in their native tongue.

Why, you sound like you know exactly what you're talking about. Why don't you just go pick up your $5,000,000 cheque?

Oh right, because you're just talking out your ass.
