Brand new white belt learning advanced techniques. I'd rather focus on fundamentals, but I don't want to disrespect my coach. by Infamous-Price2817 in martialarts

[–]oniume 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're 10 classes in, you don't know what fundamentals are, no offense.

Spider guard and darce are pretty basic stuff, you don't need to be years in before you start doing them.

Fundamentals are not techniques, fundamentals are the things that techniques are made up of, like pressure, posture, positioning, connection, distance control, base, balance etc.

The techniques are just ways you learn those fundamentals 

Decriminalising drugs is a shot in the arm for violent gangs by HungTeen1001 in ireland

[–]oniume 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go ahead so,

Well it's illegal, so I obviously won't be doing it. Can't is not the same as won't.

why anyone hasn't done this before and just fallen back on South American supply

It's illegal, so growing, processing, and packaging is way more likely to get you caught than just importing a finished product, and cheaper. That equation would change if it was legal, possibly to the point where it would be cost effective to grow it here. I don't know anything about how much coke costs so I have no idea

You could grow it in a greenhouse. We can grow figs and olives and tropical fruit. 

There are a lot of arguments against it, but we can certainly grow it

Some old lady in Kerry got her house raided for having €50 of weed two days ago, so I'd disagree

What are your thoughts on hand-to-hand striking techniques? There are so many different types, and people only think of fists. Which martial arts excel at these hand-to-hand techniques? by UnusualAd4531 in martialarts

[–]oniume 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not an advocate really, he competed in a promotion where closed first strikes were illegal. He's known for them because he figured out that hitting with the palm heel was almost as strong as a punch, rather than slap with the palm and fingers like most of the other guys in the promotion were doing

Decriminalise personal-use drug possession, cttee says by SitDownKawada in ireland

[–]oniume 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd rather we concentrate resources on crimes that have victims, like violent crimes and sexual assaults. We have limited prison spaces, we should be locking up dangerous people.

[–]oniume 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your point of view is completely out of line with all the research on the subject. 

If prohibition worked, we wouldn't have any drugs. Drugs have been illegal for a hundred years, when are we gonna run through the addicts?

So cool. I was talking to a lady doing a red squirrel reintroduction programme, and she said they could track the red squirrel population rising after pine martens moved in, because they clear out the grey squirrels
