Well, let's look at my choices, human or Chakat. Humans are capable of commiting horrible crimes, and abandoning their families. Chakats rarely commit any crime much less the stuff humans do. And we never abandon each other. Not our friends and certainly not our family.Jim wrote:Yep, still disturbing.ChakatBlackstar wrote:Like I said, I consider myself a Chakat and we are feline in nature.Thorin wrote:And regarding the use of the word pussy - I made no personal comment based on prejudice or discriminative ideas I may or may not have. I may have offended a cat. I don't care. If I had however called them Kikes, I may have offended Jews. I would care. But I did not say that. I said something that wouldn't offend anyone - except maybe cats. It was a simple bit of friendly banter.

It's not just one thing, it's all manner of things. Just that the potrayal I, at least, get, is one of it being the toughest and hardest hitting. It just isn't - boxing, rugby, martial arts. In some places I've seen too it's claimed to require the highest fitness - which is utter rubish consideirng the game stops so often so they have a breather every few seconds.Mikey wrote:You're right - if you brought up boxing, I could bring up muay thai. I just find it interesting because in America - the home of American football (duh!) - a tremendous amount of respect is given to players of rugby and Aussie football. I really don't encounter the same superiority complex about football which you describe.
Blackstar - you're still human. Whether or not you have certain beliefs doesn't take you out of your physical and mental form. Some humans are capable of great evil. Some humans are capable of great good. Seeing the worst in everyone is pretty pessimistic.

That's part of why I enjoyed the original UFC: no time limit on rounds. Hoyce Gracie fought a freaking thirty-minute round. Even five minutes in a real fight feels like an hour. Bruce Lee could've torn apart most if not any football player inside of a minute in a real fight.
Like I said, all sports focus more on certain attributes: no linebacker, or even most rugby players could beat a top-end sprinter in a foot race. And Bruce Lee might've stunk at football (though somehow I doubt it).

There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939
What rocked about the first seven or so UFCs was that not only were there no time limits, but they were a tournament. So after you fought for 60 minutes in the first fight, you then had to fight two more times to win.Tsukiyumi wrote:That's part of why I enjoyed the original UFC: no time limit on rounds.

No, not died. It just did a complete TR-116 and ended up as something completely different.
I'm still trying to remember how the hell this ended up as a sports debate....
