    Every argument on here goes like this

    Every argument on here goes like this.

    ...and then, it gets moved to off topic because it doesn't belong on the main forum. Like this one.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Never say the other person is wrong. You express your opinion and I express mine. If we agree, that's fine. If we don't, that's fine too.

    That's stupid. People ARE wrong about things. WTF kind of world do you think we live in where everyone is right? That's not even possible.

    I refuse to sit back and play "oh, we're all right here... we just have different opinions"

    ya i agree sometimes people are just wrong. when it comes down to semantics or preference thats one thing, but sometimes some people are just wrong about things.

    for instance, im right all the time, and everyone else is always wrong!!
    For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.

    I wish the world was that black and white.

    When it comes to postulating about martial arts in the written form or spoken word, no body is right or wrong and we only have opinions. The truth of each individuals martial art is only revealed in conflict.

    Nothing else will do in an area that demands tactile representation to get full understanding in both learning and in doing.

    I mean, there is blatantly erroneous and that is all fair to point out. IE: you can stop a shoot with a strike to the back. That is wrong. It has been proven wrong.

    Even if right and wrong are unknown at the time, that does not mean that it does not exist.

    It's crap like "everyone is right" that promotes neck-breaking, cartilage to the brain nose strikes, and dim mak death touches, and places actual, proven combat techniques in the same category.

    The odds that either side is right in a long established internet argument is zero, because people are not arguing, they are repeating stock arguments that don't really relate and are all hopelessly lame.

    Pretending this is anything more than social hour is horsesh1t.

    Long time ago when I had my 1st year Kung Fu class in the University of Texas at Austin. I made the following statement in my class, "We should help the weak to fight againt the strong." I was surprised to find out that not even a single American student who agreed with me. I then realized that what I used to believe was right was no longer right any more when the physical location has changed. Today if I make the same statement in public, I could be arrested as terrorist.

    I have an excellent collection of smug responses based on vague claims from inside sources that [insert member name here] doesn't have good kung fu.
