Subject: Re: AJJ replacing BJJ? Author: Scott Shields [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:02:59 09/21/05 Wed In reply to: Phillip Rhodes 's message, "Re: AJJ replacing BJJ?" on 09:59:32 09/21/05 Wed Ok, I understand your viewpoint. I agree that people should be more respectful. I disagree with you that people have the right to beat someone up if they insulted or disrespected (if this is what you are saying). What do you do if someone disrespects you and you are not able to beat them up? For example, an 80 year old man gets disrespected by Matt Hughes? Does he now have the right to shoot him or hire someone to do it for him? Where does this get us? Honor is important and is a value that I treasure highly. There is a point where you have to take things with a grain of salt though. I hope that my point is clear. I understand your view (I hope), but I just think it isn't reasonable. Thank you, Scott Shields [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

There is a point where you have to take things with a grain of salt though. Ok, honestly I was being a little bit fascetious with my comments. No, I don't *really* think that you should be able to hire somebody to shoot somebody else because they insult you... well... at least I think I don't. It just pisses me off how in our society, nobody seems to be responsible for their actions anymore, especially in terms of blabbering on the Internet. I just think that every individual should have to accept that their actions and words have consequences and should live with a certain element of fear of those consequences. It's not a binary thing, and I don't know *exactly* where the line should be drawn. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Scott Shields [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:41:44 09/21/05 Wed I understand completely and am on the same page as yourself. People need to be more aware of their actions and some conseqences would be nice! I understand your frustration, I have the same frustrations all the time!

Author: Phillip Rhodes [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:16:37 09/22/05 Thu #> Phillip, sup man long time no hear from. Things are going pretty good. I haven't been around much mostly because I've been really focused on school / work / career stuff the last couple of years. From 2001 through now, I've finished one college degree that I was working on, and am down to 3 classes to finish another. #> How's life? Good, mostly. I've changed jobs a couple of times since the last time we spoke, but I'm at a place now in Cary that does telecom security software, and am enjoying it. I moved to a new apartment a few months ago and am still trying to get the place furnished and organized. So I'm staying busy, but life is basically OK How 'bout yourself? Things going well?
