Are you republican, by any chance?
I don't have a problem with any political views. Everyone for himself.

Agreed.

I have friends that are Republican. They often like to quiz me on what I think of certain issues too.

So what do you guys think about the hypothetical fight between Lou & Dennis or did I answer so resoundingly & exhaustively that any other reply at this point is a moot one?

Good point. I'll go for Dennis the menace.

So, you think Lou's martial arts study is a sham or do you think that Dennis is just that tough or do you think that martial arts in general is not applicable to street fights?

He's been studying it for over 20 years, and as the article points out, his teacher is Master Ren. On the Charlie Rose show a couple of years ago, Lou talked a bit about Tai Chi.

Even if beer bottles were allowed as a weapon for Dennis, he still would be beaten...in a few seconds.

To think that there is really much of a difference between republicans and democratics these days is naive to say the least.

but one Key difference:

Republicans rape their own daughters and stepdaughters & tend to marry their first cousins more.

heehe

can't relate to that one?

Gay Democrats tend to be out of the closet; gay Republicans tend to be way the fuck in the closet, along with a shitload of skeletons.

By the way, who's your Congressman, porkmarras?
:rolleyes: The diarrhea here never ceases to amaze me.

I don't need one.

Pork is a damn foreigner. Give him a break.

I'm going to pull an Atari here and post some Lou Reed lyrics:

Sex With Your Parents (Motherfucker) Part II

I was thinking of things that I hate to do
SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS
Things you do to me or I do to you, baby
SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS

Something fatter or uglier than Rush Rambo
Something more disgusting than Robert Dole
Something pink that climbs out of a hole
And there it was - SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS

I was getting so sick of this right wing republican shit
These ugly old man scared of young tit and dick
So I try to think of something that made me sick
And there it was - SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS

Now these old fucks can steal all they want
And they can go and pass laws saying you can't say what you want
And you can't look at this and you can't look at that
And you can't smoke this and you can't snort that
And me baby - I got statistics - I got stats
These people have been to bed with their parents

Now I know you're shocked but hang and have a brew
If you think about it for a minute you know that it's true
They're ashamed and repelled and they don't know what to do
They've had sex with their parents
When they looked into their lovers eyes they saw - mom
In the name of the family values we must ask whose family
In the name of the family values we must ask - Senator

It's has been reported that you have had
Illegal congress with your mother, - SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS
ah, Senator
An illegal congress by proxy is a
Pigeon by any other name, - SEX WITH YOUR PARENTS

Senators you polish a turd
Here in the big city we got a word
For those who would bed their beloved big bird
And make a mockery of our freedoms
Ah, without even using a condom
Without even saying "no"
By god we have a name for people like that
It's - hey motherfucker

It just totally fits the thread.

it's irritating that people have to associate themselves with a certain political party but it's really none of my goddamn business anyway.

i dig what those crazy kids in the pansexual peace party are up to, however i do not identify as a member of their party.

You're cool sometimes, but sometimes you can be a cunt. One of my good friends is a hardcore Republican, and she's delightful. Fuck you.

dennis hopper could kick lou reed's ass, by the way.

So, you think Lou's martial arts study is a sham, that Dennis is just that tough, or that martial arts proficiency, in general, is not applicable to street fights?

Lou Reed has been studying it for over 20 years, and as the article points out, his teacher is Master Ren. On the Charlie Rose show a couple of years ago, Lou talked a bit about Tai Chi.

Even if beer bottles were allowed as a weapon for Dennis (reportedly his blunt instrument of choice on several occasions), he still would be beaten...in a few seconds.

Hopper would have to be mighty hopped-up not to go down easily (like a lamb) with a judo move or two.

I mean, do you not think that a police officer could take Dennis Hopper down?
Maybe it would have been no short order in Hopper's heyday, but nowadays(?)...get real.

"Don't underestimate me. I can go a long way with a whiff of amyl nitrite and a big gun!"

ok lou knows karate or whatever but i still think dennis could do it. he just would.

I'm fairly certain that in twenty years of training that Reed has learned to execute judo holds from Master Ren, therefore, Hopper (or just about anyone else really) wouldn't have any chance before Lou diffused the conflict and rendered them helpless with a wrist-lock as he took them down to the ground, if necessary.

A person with twenty years martial arts experience and study can even take down a police officer that utilizes judo and grappling...even if the trained officer is twice their size.

but not if he was back on the smack.
