So you think that martial artists have to practice a style developed by someone else?
...Do all martial artists develop their own style of fighting or something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PC, the stupid on that site is a stunning kind of stupid, and I say that in the face of Denton's most recent changes at gawker. There's just nowhere to get traction. If you try and whittle anything down to a binary proposition to highlight how ludicrous they're being they dissolve and pop up somewhere else.
I'm at that stage of packing where I'm tired and cranky and am sure I've forgotten everything and I don't want to do any more. I usually hit the wall at 4/5 of the way through 12 hours before the shuttle comes.
Well, at least I got the last work email sent. I do need to change my voicemail.
Tried to start my car again. No dice. I need to work out how not to be anxious about that for a week.
And I need to tell my apartment manager to accept packages for me for a week--which needs outside pants. Gnargh. But it's better than packing.

The status is NOT quo.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
krav manga is a joke, I wish someone would try that style on me.
I guarantee you, sir, not half as much as I do.
He really should have that wish fulfilled (amusing typo or lack of education aside). There should be a Make a Wish for situations like this. I'd donate. And make popcorn.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Maybe we can write up a Kickstarter proposal! We can film it and show it every Christmas.

Most martial arts are adapted for marketing, not actual fighting. krav manga is a joke, I wish someone would try that style on me.
Oh, to be able to watch ita give him an Anya-style "Done!" and then make his wish come true.

Here you go, 'Suela. The article itself is mildly interesting, summarizing a study that was clearly someone's first-year grad school project and no doubt flawed as all hell but still entertaining, but the comment thread is a truly delicious feast of witless pomposity and "Why does the entire universe not bow down before the magnificent edifice that is my colossal cock?" pity partying.
