You have to remember though he was like, about 5'8" & 145 lbs. Bare handed in a cage match, there are a lot of dudes that could have kicked his butt through sheer size & random chance.
But that takes environmental creativity out of the equation....
It's all relative.
Cage matches & conventional Boxing remove many variables and distil it down to brute strength vs. technique. In most cases, brute strength will win out.
In real life, 'technology' (weapons, chairs, trees, rocks, garbage cans, electrical cords) can make a very big difference.
I once used 'martial arts' to get out of a highway incident; I was on my motorcycle in 1995, and I saw two guys in cars ahead of me swerve into each other, and as they moved apart, I downshifted and gunned it to move out of the situation straight through them. In my rear view mirror I saw them come back together, sliding around & causing a pile up. If I had simply braked behind them I know I wouldn't be here now to be typing this. :))
Be like water, my friend. ;)
Back in 2001 President Bush declared North Korea, Iran and Iraq as this "Axis of Evil" then he promptly invaded Iraq. North Korea had the nuclear arsenal and Iraq did not. Experts determined that North Korea posed the greater threat to world harmony, yet the USA invaded Iraq. Now what Message does Iran draw from that? What Message did we send to the world? "If you have the bomb we won't fukk with you."
More than 4 decades of squaring off with the Soviet Union (a nuclear power) and the US and the Soviets never got into a war? Why? Both had the bomb. Recent events in Ukraine has shown that had Ukraine kept their arsenal rather than giving it back to Russia then the Russians might never have invaded Crimea. Think about that .
Nuclear arsenals seem to be the real deterrent . so maybe if everyone had the bomb then the shytt we see around the world would stop.
One final note on Iran: Israel has nuclear weapons (supplied by the USA) now if Israel has the bomb why can't Iran have one?
the best option would be NO NATION HAVING a nuclear weapon, everybody would probably have Africa & the middle East being covered by clouds of radio active material.
The idealism is admirable but the idea is ludicrous.
Yes it's unfair that Israel can have nukes but Iran can't. But then did Israel ever say Iran should be wiped off the map?
Maybe the line that the government keeps pushing at us after each fresh atrocity that Islam is a religion of peace and love and it's only a minority that causes trouble blah blah is true but personally I don't want to take the risk.
Frankly if it's a choice between pre-emptively bombing places like Iran and Afghanistan back to the stone age (not a great hardship seeing as they practically there are already) to prevent them getting a nuke or offering a naive leftist olive branch of giving them a load of warheads and trusting them not to fire at us then I'm with Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now.
It's not something to worry about too much though thanks to the existence of Israel.
Western politicians can drone on about working and cooperating with Islam and finding peaceful solutions etc and all the time they are enriching uranium on the quiet but Israel can't afford such platitudes.
Any sniff that Iran is close to having a bomb and Israel will go in and not give two shits what the west thinks. It's a lot easier to favour appeasement when you're sitting in your cushy Whitehall office.
It's all well and good espousing these fluffy sounding socialist ideals but think very carefully if you really want to live in a world where Boko Haram, Isis, The Taliban, Al Qaeda and gangs of Somalian pirates all have access to as many nukes as they want and then decide would you like to leave things as they are or be glad that your egalitarian nuclear utopia is not a reality.
Thank you, and amen!

follow.
I believe the payoff is worth it. I've watched it quite a few times, and I'll admit, there is a lot to soak up and follow along with, but it's really quite good. For anyone who has trouble following it or ever wants to give it another shot, see if you can borrow it on DVD/blu-ray from someone, put on the subtitles, and watch through as many seasons as you can. The more you dive into it, the more you'll know, and the more you know, the more interesting it becomes.
And is it me, or is the pace extremely slow? At least it seems that way to me based on what I've seen. I can appreciate a slow pace in spades if the characters are interesting and the actors feel alive. But in GoT they don't... at least not for me.
@jobo I found it really slow paced too, so it's not just you, and I completely agree with you.
So does my mother in law. Doesn't mean I like her :P
Seriously though I heard that a lot before I watched it, that there was loads of sex and gore and it was dead shocking but there really wasn't that much. The show was just a let down for me, after all the hype I was expecting it to at least entertain me.
As for Israel defending herself, I don;t hear about Israel beating up on Iran. All we hear is how they fukk with the Palestanians.
Here is a question for my fellow American Pro Israel party: How would you feel if say the Chinese and Russians decided that the US should be returned to the Native American? Native Americans would come in push the rest of us around like Israelis do the Palestanians.
I really enjoyed it. I find it more intelligent as well and less gimmicky.
Yeah, it's incredible isn't it. Problem is, it's become very difficult to point an accusing finger to merely one of the two countries and say you started this. This mess has grown so terribly complicated, I doubt the average citizen of Israel or Palestine actually understands the true logic - if any exists at all - behind these constant attacks. What does one do? Support Palestine and throw out the Jews so that these people have once again nowhere to go? Or support Israel and throw out the Palestinians, whose land was (one might argue) simply stolen from them.
I'm not an historian so I must admit that my views on this matter are generally incomplete. Therefore my opinions, like the one above, certainly are open for debate.
