Oopsy. I'm not a fan of either, clearly.

I just thought this was funny.

I'm going to leave it as is, so that my ignorance can be part of the fun.

Fail fail!

Looks like kickboxing to me and not MMA. They are wearing boxing gloves and not MMA gloves.

I have a friend who was well trained in Wing Chun (male) and although yes there is some legitimacy in regards to balance, center line etc, the reality was that he was mostly effective due to the distribution of his mass/weight and often only against those who couldn't fight or more specifically didn't know how to defend.

I don't see much mass in these hostesses and given my experience, I don't believe they would be reliably effective against most decent sized untrained male opponents with this style alone, especially when the situation gets to the floor as most aggressive interactions inevitably do.

To provide a comparison, one of my friends has trained in Karate since he was 6 years old, went on to Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, a few others, then heavily into Mixed Martial Arts about 8 years ago and now trains with professional MMA fighters. As far back as a decade ago my Wing Chun (no other martial arts) friend couldn't do shit to him if his life depended on it.

Why?
Wing Chun focuses on blocking and controlling your opponents movements with pressure points and shifting your opponents weight, and this really doesn't cut it in real situations when your opponent isn't trying to hug you into submission, or when a punch just needs to slip though and connect with the base of your chin for a KO, or a lucky hit that simply takes you to the ground.

Now, I'm not saying this idea is completely dangerously delusional, i think it's a good idea in principle to train airline staff including pilots, but feel they are doing it less than effectively as they could.

The point I'm making is that any 1 martial arts is simply not effectively reliable in most confrontational situations due to most/all martial arts having a fair bit of bullshit inter-weaved with legitimate capabilities.

** If airlines are going to train/encourage hostesses to intervene with dangerous individuals they should be teaching the genuinely proven to be effective portions of various martial arts.. to which Wing Chun would play a role imo for upright close combat, but also focusing on some aspects of Judo for take-downs and take-down-defense & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for when the shit hits the mat, which are all great arts for females and males alike as technique is the key and an individuals power isn't a primary focus for any of these.

Good on them for taking the initiative.

out of 4:25 minutes, there's 3 minutes in common, which is shown in little chunks on the Olbermann video.

apparently since Olbermann shows most of the new video, you think it should be deleted.
Personally I don't care about dupes.
Dupes only exist so that original submitters get the votes they deserve.

If I have an CD of Metallica, and they include a live version of the same song recorded earlier on the CD, do I have to scratch that track off the cd?

I'm don't appreciate people making choices for me, just because they think one sift is 99% as good as another sift.

quoting boise

Out of 4:25 in your video a total of two clips are directly out of this video--one of 1:46 duration and the second is 1:07.
KO's story is about 2008. Now--in 2012--this is again a story of interest. The commentary completely changes the video. Without any commentary the raw video is again relevant.

No way, shape, or form? That's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think? Except for 30 seconds this entire video is contained in the original. The 30 seconds of additional content (2:04 - 2:33) is of another reporter asking a completely unrelated question that has nothing to do with the fight/argument Romney was having with the first reporter.

Since there is extra footage then there is only one criteria that keeps it from being a dupe. Does it contain any significant additional content. I would say no, the unrelated question from another reporter is not significant additional content.

The fact that the original has extra content then this one is irrelevant.

Think of it this way: tomorrow someone asks about Romney and this event--would you first direct them to the 4 year old Countdown video--or to this complete raw video?
(I'd show them both)

I think that the lack of commentary makes this not a dupe, but thats just IMHO. Didn't see your post though, gave it an upvote

If the majority of people agreed with KO, he would have more viewers.
They don't, and he doesn't.


Yes I agree, we shouldn't judge anything by its content. Rather, we should first gauge how popular it is, if it's not popular we should be afraid of enjoying it ourselves, because we're incapable of critical thinking.

They don't, and he doesn't.
