I'm all for capital punishment...if the evidence is overwhelming and for crimes involving torture and/or death of a victim. I know that the argument is that capital punishment doesn't lower crime rate but I don't care. What capital punishment does, without argument, is increase the percentage of good people on the planet. That's a good way to start cleaning things up. As for Harris Black? He shouldn't be killed. Scum like him, deserves to live a long lonely miserable life. Thank you, the jury may be excused! Suitcase

ANYWHERE OUT OF YOUR REACH!! Suitcase

A blonde female cop pulls a car over for speeding. The driver is also a blonde woman. Driver: "What's the problem?" Cop: "Let me see your drivers licence." Driver: "What does it look like?" Cop: "It's got your picture on it." The driver goes through her purse looking for it finally finding a small compact mirror. She hands the mirror to the cop. The cop looks at the mirror and says: "Why didn't you tell me that you were a police officer. Go ahead get outta here and slow down."

Have one for me gentlemen as Patts is not on my list of stops for awhile. When I do finally make it, I already have a sparring partner in mind. Those who know me know exactly who it is. No names though, Suitcase

Sorry Bushcraft...still not convinced. I do appreciate you sharing your opinion, knowledge, and experience with us. I've been exposed to many different styles of martial arts and I've seen some pretty amazing things. I've even accomplished some feats myself that I still find pretty amazing but I have to agree with Casper when he says "physical limitations and common sense have to be taken into account". I am well versed in human anatomy and physiology and that knowledge prevents me from believing your claim. I am not doubting the effectiveness of your art but simply the number of punches per second. Peace my friend Suitcase

Thanks...I know that but my head was somewhere else. Don't know why I mixed up Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do. Suitcase

Great comments..Thanks guys! Don't want to be argumentative but the comment "WingTsun people can deliver 10-12 effective and accurate punches per second" is nonsense. Bruce Lee, the founder of Wing Chun is my hero, and after 25 years of practicing martial arts, participating in competitions, and attending demonstrations, 10-12 punches per second by a human being is a little exaggerated. 4 or 5 sounds more realistic. Anyway...For me the perfect Martial Art was Traditional Shotokan. If you want to talk about who would win in a fight, I would agree that there is no perfect style. But I believe that a martial art that matches your abilities and meets your needs is in fact perfect...for you. Since my teenage years I had been practicing different styles of martial arts because I grew up in a situation where I was forced to defend myself on frequent occasions. I stopped for about 10 years and then as an adult went back to the study of karate but this time for different reasons. I now had the belief in Zen, and understood the reality of Yin/Yang. My next 15-years was spent studying Traditional Shotokan Karate. Not just the fighting techniques but the history and philosophy of Shotokan as well as Martial Arts in general. My first black belt helped me realize how little I really understood about Budo and about using the potential that I possessed. Four years later I felt ready for my second black belt and finally understood what was invovled to become a true Martial Artist. Most people, even those with a black belt, have no idea what martial arts are all about. My job has put me in some very dangerous conflictual situations and I believe that my expertise and spiritual understanding of the martial arts have allowed me to stay calm and in control of the situation. As a result, I have been able to avoid most physical combat and have come out on top in those cases where physical combat could not be avoided. So...although I agree that there are some martial arts that are better than others, winning or losing a battle will not be determined by the style but rather by which of the two pugilists have truly mastered their method.

My wife told me that if I play golf one more time that she's going to leave me....I'm really going to miss her. I live with danger every day of my life. But sometimes she let's me go fishing. 9 out of 10 men said that they prefer women with big tits. The other guy said that he preferred the 9 men.

Inhalers are a must but I would suggest that you also talk to your doctor about obtaining an Epi-pen or a Twinject. These are usually prescribed for severe allergic reactions where the respiratory system closes down. Since an asthmatic attack causes the same effect to the respiratory system, this medication is also very good for asthma. It is an auto-injector; push it against your thigh and the needle pops out and the drug (0.3 mg Epinephrine) is automatically injected. If the asthmatic attack is severe, the airway closes quickly and the pumps can't get into the lungs because they are "closed". This drug gets into the blood quickly and opens up the respiratory system even when your pump may not have any effect and that gives you time to get to a hospital. The Twinject is best because it has two doses and the Epi-pen only has one. It should be used with caution if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure but I would recommend that you consult with your doctor to see if it would be good for you. For some strange reason, only a handful of doctors take the time to prescribe the Epi-pen or Twinject to their asthmatic patients despite the fact that it can save their lives and has many times.

I guess you changed your mind about running the motor of your car in the Garage. Make sure no one else is in the house so that you don't take anyone else with you. Suitcase

Hey! I'm pretty sure that we're all grown ups on here and can make our own decisions and except the responsibilities that go with them. I don't do Voodoo, so I can't make anyone do anything that they are uncomfortable with. If you're worried that Harris might hurt you for taking his picture, make sure that you take a 13-year old with you for protection. Oh, and try not to let him see you looking at him either since that might make him mad too. If you don't want to take a chance at pissing him off then DON'T TAKE HIS PICTURE. I don't really care. It was just a suggestion for some fun. As to your second point, I'm afraid that I can't really respond intelligently since I don't know what Hilly said about that. I do know that there are a few members on here who like to talk out of their ass and pass along information that they know nothing about. Hilly seems pretty bright to me and can certainly arrive at his own conclusions without having information from me or anyone else. I will assure you however that I am not a rumour mongerer and everything I accuse Harris Black of can be proven 5 or 6 different ways. His mommy has money and would do anything for him. If I made one accusation without huge amounts of proof she would have sued my ass off by now. If I say it about Harris, it's because it's a verified fact. Hope this satisfies your curiosity. Suitcase

Harris plans on being at the Carnival in Pattaya this weekend If you see him, don't be shy to take a picture like this one. P.S. He's the one on the right. Suitcase

I would love to share a taxi with you from BKK to Pattaya. PM me and we'll make it happen. Suitcase

Who paid for his dinner? One of his favorite scams is the "Oh! I forgot my wallet" routine. Then if his date doesn't offer to pay, he says he's going to a bank machine to get cash except, he never returns and his date is forced to pay for both meals. He's done this at "business lunches" as well, while interviewing candidates for a fake job. Tell the truth, did you pay for his dinner? Suitcase

1. Something with a little challenge for you to do while on vacation. 2. Should annoy the hell out of him while he's ripping people off. 3. Give me more pictures of him to add to my collection. 4. Everyone's digital! It costs you nothing. 5. Board members will know what he looks like now so they can avoid his scams. 6. You can pass his picture around to your BG & GF in Thailand so they'll know to avoid him. 7. Sound like a fun way to pass the time. 8. Proof for the Canadian authorities that he may have violated his probation conditions by leaving the country. I could list more reasons but they would be bullshit. Google his email <thaispeakmtl@hotmail.com> to read his stickman article about how he rips off Bar Girls in Pattaya. Suitcase

Something bad did happen to you. The ladyboy stuck a bullshit pill up your ass and it seems to have taken immediate affect. The police cancelled your credit cards for you? The Nana has a mini bar? You found the key in your shoe? How do you come up with this stuff? In order to be a good liar, you must be intelligent enough to make up lies that are possible and that can't be checked. Your bullshit story suggests that you're too stupid to lie; I suggest that from now on you try the truth. You might be better at that. (Although no one will believe you now anyway.) Suitcase

If you're fed up with the topic of Harris Black, then click back and read something else. It seems that everyone in Pattaya carries a camera with them. I would love to see some candid pictures of Harris Black in Thailand. He's a little squirt so even if he knows you took his picture he can only tell his mother about it. I'm not suggesting that you waste time following him around or that you even go looking for him. I'm just saying that if your paths cross, try to take the time to snap a picture and post it here. (please no pictures of the look-a-alike ladyboy lover with one arm). A little challenge just for fun and one day you might see your picture of Harris on a "Wanted Poster" in some post office. Here's one of Harris in Vancouver. Don't ask how I got it or why he's not wearing a bra. Click away! Suitcase

Bruce Lee was once told by a jujitsu expert that his style was no good because 80% of real fights ended up on the ground. Bruce Lee answered: "Yes, but 100% of real fights begin standing up." He was also an expert grappler and a well rounded fighter would certainly have some training in grappling. Suitcase

Bruce Lee is my hero; The best of the best! His style took the best of all of the other styles and put them all together. Undefeatable. It was his philosophy of fighting that encouraged me to study more than one style of martial arts. Most movie makers today have to speed up the film to make the martial arts techniques look impressive. In Bruce Lee's movies, they had to slow down the film so that the audiences could see what he was doing. He would have made quick work of any boxer. Suitcase

I agree with Chorp Dat that the videos show little that indicate that boxing is better than martial arts. Both fighters were using Muay Thai and I expected to see a traditional boxer. Their kicking techniques where not at all those of an expert in the Martial Arts and I found "most" of their blows to be rather slow. I am a 2 degree black belt Sensei in traditional Shotokan Karate. I started with Judo at a young age and found that it wasn't good for self-defense since the opponent had to be close before I could use the techniques. I got some training in Aikido, Taikwondo, and 3 other styles of Karate before settling with Shotokan which is a good combination of offence and defence and about 50/50 upper extremity and lower extremity blows, blocks and techniques. I competed in and coached gymnastics which gave me speed, balance, and flexibility to add to my martial arts training. My opinion is that someone very skilled in Martial Arts would kick the ass of an equal size boxing opponent. I can use my legs as well as my hands and my legs are much longer than a boxers reach. I am under 6 feet tall and have easily kicked a 6'5" opponent in the side of the head with enough force to take him to the ground and still remain on my feet. I respect the training and skill of a boxer but a dedicated Martial Artist has equal training and skill and two more weapons (feet & legs) than the boxer so my money would always be on a "real expert" Martial Artist. If the fight was restricted to fists only, I think the Martial Artist would be lying on the mat while the first bell is still ringing in his ears. Thanks for the video's and your story. Suitcase

There is only so much stupidity and bullshit that I can take from someone so I have said many of the above statements out loud and felt better for having said them. One of my favorites that I use often is "What makes you think that I give a shit?" Or, "Do I look even a little bit interested in what you have to say?" I don't say these things to just anyone nor do I say them as soon as they pop into my head. I wait until I'm convinced that the person is a real idiot, then I let loose. Suitcase

I tried whistling. It didn't open my car doors but now I have a dog. Suitcase

Followed the directions and it didn't open my car door but it did start the motor of the car beside me. Just kidding! Of course it didn't work because a very important part of the instructions were missing. I did it a second time and exactly when someone else pushes the button over the phone you turn the key in the lock and the door opens. Try it! This method works 100% of the time; if it's the right key. lol Two minutes of my life wasted when I could have been reading posts on this board. Suitcase
