Japan is just a bunch of subdued muderous psychopaths.

<ontopic> I've been playing a lot of Planescape: Torment and Red Faction 2 lately. Do either of these games make me want to kill zombies and nano-people, respectively? Nope, not a bit. Although, a few customers where I work I wouldn't mind... *cough*

And just how many people are there like you, K? I've been police for 2 years now and the people that really know martial arts that i've dealt with are always cooperative. Most real martial artists know self-discipline. The rest just would rather brag about how good they are. As for the actual theory, I did say proper training. This would include- but no be limited to- the 21 ft. rule. I promise you at 21 feet I can kill you deader than dead before you can even think about grabbing my gun. I study martial arts too and I know how to disarm people as well- so I know a thing or two about a thing or two. As for the loser-pays vs. a dumb court system. That's the exception rather than the rule. Sure on TV it happens all the time, but I'm sick of people getting their legal information from tv. Anyway, my response to that is this: the appeal process. I never said do away with that and there's always the possibility of taking to a higher court. |

Ok, proper training works.
I have self-restraint, or at least like to think I do. I also have endless supplies of disdain for the idiocy of measures meant to increase security rather than decrease. I also did not mean to say that I would beat up a teacher and take their gun. That would be silly, and much as I like proving points, the consequences would outweigh the benefits. I still believe that if such a system were put in place, odds are that the teachers would provide plenty of opportunities for their guns to be taken nonviolently. ~J Edit: as for the 21-foot rule, it's entirely accurate; that's why you don't start fights outside 21 feet. Unless the teacher starts to enforce a "personal space bubble", you just aren't going to be able to count on 21 or even 15 feet. |
