So you don't like the ufc.. because you can't paralyze people? ..?!?!?
It's supposed to be sport fighting. Not televised manslaughter.
There are rules in place to protect people's lives and careers.
Perfect example. Mark Coleman Vs. Allan Goes at min 1:55
Throwing knees to Goes' head while he's already in a choke on the ground.
Goes' brain is starved of oxygen while it's being bounced around his skull.
His neck is cranked and being compressed even more with each blow.
Goes was knocked out thankfully. If not:
1- His skull would've been busted open
2- His neck would've been snapped



Coleman was not choking or neckcranking Goes. It is physically impossible for you to effectively choke someone close to your body and land knees at the same time, especially since a large portion of the power in a knee strike comes from your core. Knee strikes from this position should be perfectly legal, to reduce the amount of stalling and stalemates that you frequently see in the UFC. What the ufc has done is neutralize what was previously an extremely disadvantageous position for guy on the bottom.

Second.

Saying that disallowing knees or stomps to a downed opponent benefits fighters "dumb enough" to "lie down in a fight"..

Is like saying disallowing eye gouges or arm breaks benefit fighters "dumb enough" to "leave their eyes or ligaments unguarded in a fight"

Please realize how crude your statement sounds. You may wanna cut back on the horror movies a bit. =/ =]

If it's not televised, how will we know it happened?

brycewi19 asked me for clarification on my downvote:

My downvote because a) not funny b) not specific

a) the guy is incredibly ignorant about what brings someone on the street. Fine, it's funny from an ignorant rich capitalist perspective, and I'll chuckle, but at him and not with him.
I mean who doesn't say 'get a job', but these are kids who have parents who either beat them, or are alcoholics, or they're on drugs and don't know better. Those who say "get a job" - would they be the one to give them one? Do they have the skills to get a job, let alone deal with the societal and family problems they have?

No, because they're kids. Why aren't these kids in school? Single mother can hardly keep them under control when they're working 12 hours a day. You don't have to work with runaways or those on the street to know. They're can be your friends and family. Or my friends and familyh.

Spend a minute and talk with them. If you think they're lying or tricking you, give them a sandwich or a drink, and you'll be able to tell.

This idiot's propagating that it's the kids' problems, and not ours as a society.

b) Panhandling - Scotland - The devil.
Stick to one subject when posting. Not always possible, I grant, but it's not television, it's the sift.

I don't await to be proven wrong or have my opinion debated. It's mine. And one I expect to hold alone among 12 who can get this sifted.

I don't know what the point of this piece is. The President has said repeatedly that America doesn't torture. OK I'm relieved. . .the last 20 seconds of the story indicated that the waterboard is not so bad. We should just let local and county police do waterboarding - so quick and efficient. Once upon a time, torture was not televised entertainment. Damned Clinton.

But I think the demonstration of such "techniques" is unpatriotic. Now the infidel is just going to adapt.
