The fastest sedan in the world

These are nice works of engineering. I look at it as art.
Actually they are all poor investments that just provide a way to go from one place to another. Having sold cars for a while I was taught to sell them as a fufillment of a romantic fantasy. {Fine Corinthian Leather etc.melodious exhaust note ...

Chinese - Japanese - Korean Styles

G I thought you were American.
Yea the "?" mark led me to comment.
I referd to many short yet powerful people I saw in Sicily the west as compared to Korea,asia. I think size is very much a matter of nutrition. I was surprised to see so many short older people on Sicily, yet it is easy to overlook ...

Chinese - Japanese - Korean Styles

GSantaniello...is absolutely wrong in his assumptions about the Koreans being small. I have spent 23 years traveling. I've been to Asia...lived in Indonesia, Malaysia, spent time in Thailand, Phillipines,a month traveling all over Mainland China with Chinese friends 1979, but in particular Japan ...

Along these same lines I heard it said the Lunar landing missions were faked.
No way, we are not that good at keeping secrets!

How Are Pornography and Violence Related?

I am sorry if this is already mentioned above...but...off the top of my head here is my reaction.
Pornography, no matter if it be of a woman, young girl or boy, an old and ugly woman, even a grown man, does one basic thing necessary to develop a mind set allowing for violence and harm to occur ...

In a rut

Tony- San, GHOST!!!!! Your story is almost a carbon copy of my own!!!I could add that the practice of kata has saved my life, the heck with sparring! I too learned the advanced Kata from tapes. I tried to attend dojos here and there over the about twentyfive years since I started. From Mass to ...

groin strikes

I agree with Van on the body mechanics. No matter what, we need to hit as effectively as we can. Yes it may not take much force. Yes it is crutial to keep the fingers rigid with help of the thumb. I say if you are loading the cannon use your best projectile for the job and as much powder as you can ...

Where PC originated and How it Kills Free Speech

Troll Man: Thanks for reviewing my rant, you are right of course. I am happy for the factual and serious comment. I guess there is a sweet mix in all things. For all the good P/C and privacy laws may do in cases like Ian's, there is another side. For every great good there is an evil. We now see a ...

Where PC originated and How it Kills Free Speech

I knew the son of a wealthy family. He was provided with cars and money. He too was a drug addict. First an alkie then dope then both I guess. I knew him from high school.
Who could blame him? He was retired at 17 and never knew the satisfaction of earning anything or the value of money. Clueless ...

Where PC originated and How it Kills Free Speech

Along the lines of P/C is a tendency to use euphemisms to deny and distort reality. This is used on all sides of the political spectrum as a propaganda tool. It is good to be aware of the power of language.
It is used to scapegoat people with lables as well as silence and dismiss ideas of the ...
