  Mr. Falcon Asks......What's so bad about boxing?

  by Mr. Falcon in

  i love boxing.

  it kicks arse all over the place.

  although it has lost some of it's prior glory and has waaaay too many classes that are televised and billed as "main events", it's still better than mma (sorry to any mma fans; i actually don't mind ufc, i'm just saying that i prefer traditional boxing).. anywho, what is the deal with jws hating on boxing?

  according to the new elder's book, boxing is alright, as long as you don't win (i.e: boxing for money).

  losing a box fight goes well with first christian arena parties, in other words, suffering for christ.

  If not for this religion, would the word, "destroyed" be part of your vocabulary?

  ever since being a kid, i've been a huge fan of transformers.

  i watch the original series sometimes at midnight, and bounce back and forth between it and he-man.

  back when i was a kid, you couldn't tell me nothing, as optimus prime was second only to jesus, and third to jehovah.

  yes, i'm a programmer. i destroy (virtual) objects all the time. even parents with children.

  other than that, i'm an arnold schwarzenegger (and gerrit lösch) compatriot. so yes, i would have known "destruction" at least since conan the barbarian.

  France to Fine Women Wearing Full-Faced Islamic Veils

  france to fine women who don full-face islamic veils in publicthe french government decided wednesday to impose a $185 fine on women who wear a full-face islamic veil in public, pushing ahead with a controversial ban despite signs of tension between france's muslims and the christian-tradition majority.

  president nicolas sarkozy said his government was forwarding the legislation to parliament because it had a "moral responsibility" to uphold traditional european values in the face of an increasingly visible muslim population, estimated at more than 5 million, the largest in western europe.

  he called the course chosen by his government "demanding" but "just," and he insisted that the law was not intended to stigmatize the country's muslims.

  it is against the law in many countries over here (germany, austria, switzerland, italy...) to use bandanas or other forms of disguise to intentionally hide ones face, with the exception of some carnival or similar celebrations. why would extreme muslims be treated differently?

  additionally, it's a threat. how do you know the person that's hiding in burka isn't planning a robbery or something? how would you feel when someone approaches you and you can't see her (or his?) face? how would you identify a criminal that uses a burka?

  Increase in demon activity?

  when i first started studying i was told that i would notice that the demons would try to stop me from recieving accurate bible knowledge.

  well i never really witnessed anything unusual like objects flying through the air, bleeding walls, increased nightmares or something of that nature.

  almost all the people that i know who have become baptized have a story or two about this having happened to them.

  Something funny happened at lunch today.

  i was sitting alone in my favorite local mexican restaurant, enjoying my favorite dish of pollo en mole with extra refried beans.. soon, the beans began to do their work and i had a painful belly-full of gas.. the music was especdially loud in the restaurant today, so i decided to lift a cheek and let out a blast to the beat whenever there was a loud cymbal crash or deep base note, etc.

  about 10-15 songs later, i looked around to discover that everyone in the place was staring at me..... ......and then i realized that my ipod was on and i had my earbuds in.......

  giordano, i'd rather not vote than vote for complete idiots. of course there is the possibility to start a new party and all that, but i got more important things to do in life. in politics you get nowhere without a few "sponsors", at least not until there's some kind of life or death situation.

  "a god" does not deny deity. it's the same as getting into an argument about socrates having been human or a human.
