Hey UT, that's funny. Now I'm re-reading this thread, substituting different RBS acronyms. (Kind of like reading fortune cookies and adding "...naked in bed" to the end.)

Exclamation

Now, Spexx, there is your severe mental problem, right on display: you're a rager against self defense, and you've been one for I don't know how long. A sane approach -- and I've told you in some detail yours isn't -- is an approach conducive to self defense, even unto killing tools. You always taking the hoplophobic side isn't going to persuade anyone, and it shouldn't have persuaded you. And before you start yelling about "civilized," remember that it is civilized to defeat the aberrant barbarians. That's what my approach is about -- yours is about paying Danegeld and hoping to get rid of the Dane. Ain't gonna happen.

You reduce manmade RBS by reducing perpetrators, by conversion or by ballistics, but above all by reducing perpetrators.

I'd been considering taking a self-defense course for a while. This thread got me motivated to do it. I'm now going to class twice a week. My wife is planning to take the women's self-defense class the next time it's offered (it's a weekend course).

Thanks.

strange what motivates us, isn't it?

here's an interesting progression of events for you:

I read a post by...of all people....fucknutscockpit....that, while bashing me(which he refers to never doing in a long PM he sent me, btw) .......anyway....he says to the crazy chick.....'you have good content'......and it occurs to me, that i think of myself as having good content, but really haven't written any thing for you people other than wise cracks and insults for a good long while......in truth...i USED to have good content......

starting a new paragraph just cuz it makes it easier to read here.....So, I make the thread about being sick of my own shit.....which makes me think....wel....just dont whine about it, put some shit up like you used to do.

so i did. I just let some real life out on the cellar for you. something i came across that made me go ....hmmm.

then there are replies, and you start to see that this shit actually happens, and then....there is a carjacking self defense link.....and now you're going to give some of your money to a person that will give you a skill in exchange.



if you get killed trying to defend yourself against a carjacker......i'll hunt you down in the next life, and lock you in a room with badgerphone for like....15 minutes.

lumberjim - you're alright, you know? You're alright.

Now I feel bad for nominating you for Mrs. Cellar 2008.

Spexx, not to be ad hominem, but on self defense I'm the sane one of us two, and I'm cooler about it as well. We all know what happened to you the last time you tangled with me, rkzen, and xoxoxoBruce. You did not merely lose that argument, you jettisoned it overboard.

Wait, jimmylegs just advocated not defending oneself against a carjacker. Go get him.

No no, he advocated not dying while poorly defending yourself. You've just got to make sure you do it right.

On the subject of self-defense courses, my mother made me take one when I was maybe 12, and a refresher course at least one other time. At the time I thought it was overkill, but later there were scenarios I found myself in where I was grateful to have (though never need) the skills. I will definitely be making my girls take one someday, assuming I ever have any.

Just grab the kid and hold him in front of you in case the carjacker gets one shot off before you can draw.
