I've learned that you can't make an impact or effect any situation in a real way by being passive however that doesn't mean you need to be violent. Pacifism and violence are two ways of addressing aggression and in my experience both of them are lazy and usually ineffectual. If you want to...

The study of Aikido does include a large emphasis on the practice of fighting multiple opponents (it's called Randori). This can involve up to 5 attackers, some or all of whom may be armed. The idea is to redirect on coming attacks into other attackers so that you can control how many can attack...

I can't help but get the feeling that he's looking at this wrong. This whole movie was about superman's first outing as the man of steel, if he had immediately gone from zero to icon in the space of one film I would have been thoroughly unconvinced. He's only just started so he doesn't get to...

I got the impression that when he went to travel the world practicing martial arts he didn't actually bring his massive wealth with him. He employs a lot of high tech gadgets and stuff when he feels their necessary but most of the time he seems very comfortable fighting crime with bits of...

I am a vegetarian, always have been = ). I was never suggesting that you or anyone else for that matter should adopt my lifestyle by the way. I just like to talk about it.

That's a fairly narrow minded view of the world. I know I'm capable of over powering most people I know because I'm in better physical shape, but I know better then to believe that gives me the right to beat them up and take there stuff. In reality you don't feel you're able to eat animals...

I've got to ask, by whom do you think he's meant to?

I've never eaten meat because the idea of killing animals for food has never sat right with me. I would not be comfortable with killing an animal myself, nor would I be comfortable with someone killing an animal for me. I am very pleased to see someone on the internet talking about their...

For most of them I think it's a small penis thing =(
