  • This video really shows how screwed up the distribution of wealth in this country is...

    So, you trying to tell me that anybody can walk into your spot and walk out fresh on a path to owning a successful business? You don't need any start up capital of your own to invest. You don't have to have any kind of connections or associates to invest or help along. A homeless dude that's good with carpentry can walk into your office, and you'd be able to get him everything he needs to start a successful carpentry business?

    i cant believe yall think that, is it that men have more strength? i would think that even so, a trained fighter knows anatomy, has better reactions, and knows technique to take someone down

    You would think so, but men really are just that much stronger physically and mentally.

    Come on now. Ya'll dudes sound stupid. On average men are stronger, but to say that women can basically never beat men in a physical confrontation is ridiculous.





    The Brienne chick is bigger than half the dudes in the show. The idea that she'd beat someone like the Dog is a bit farfetched, but it's not realistic to believe that she could clown some of the random soldiers in the show especially if she's better trained and more skilled.

    I may know more world ranked female mma fighters than you... just sayin. Plus one of those matches are with a drunk, one is with little kids, and one isn't even a fight, its a grappling match.

    So, so, and so. By your argument, any man can basically beat any female. The chick put the drunk (I'll take your word for it. He didn't look drunk to me until he got knocked silly) dude on his ass with one punch. By your argument that shouldn't have been possible. Sure the second case was with kids, but again, the chick one shotted the guy. It was a clear case of superior skill. It doesn't matter that they were just kids. Lastly, splitting hairs between a fight and grappling match doesn't help your case. If strength was all that matters and guys are always stronger than females by your argument, the guy should have won. He didn't because she was more skilled than him.

    That's what you don't seem to understand. Skill often is a bigger determining factor than physical strength. If it wasn't, then the bigger person in a fight would always win, but I'm sure you done enough martial arts and watched enough to know that's not true. Also in the contexts of this show where we're talking about armed combat, skill is even more important. With unarmed combat, your power goes very far in determining how quickly you can end a fight. When both people have weapons, both are able to end the fight with one good attack regardless of power. That means the more skilled of the two will likely win.
