"The reason I ask is that in many of your posts you talk about fighting and not in that christian soldiers sort of way - you seem to want to provoke and I don't see where this fits in with your christianity."
Probably explained by moments of temporary insanity :) or.. a combination of high testosterone from a heavy workout the day before plus an eye-popping news article about radical muslims calling out for the death of those who insult their prophet....
hey.. a bit of trivia.. I've got a black eye and a briused chest at the moment. I caught a whack on the face and a good front kick to the body at the gym during free sparring the other night.
We have these 'free sparring' times at the end of the hour, and by this time, me being 58 almost and them being like 20... err.. I've run out of steam after the first round of sparring. Thereafter I become the human punching bag for the next 2 rounds and I strongly suspect that some of my sparring partners were abused by their fathers based on how hard they hit me during 'light' sparring. Now I have the bruises to prove it.:)
Drunken men wrapped in the flag and hunting down anyone of 'wog/leb' appearance was appalling. Fortunately the flag does not stand for that behavior, but being an inaminate object, it is capable of misuse also.
