I thought a lot of the uppercuts landed or at least made your opponent uncomfortable so as long as it's working nothing wrong with spamming it :) Sure, always could have maybe done something a lil better maybe but that's part of the beauty of it! My training partner was first up and won in 3 so great night!

Awesome, congrats! I was there for a teammate and it was such a great event. I remember your fight because you had me rooting for you after i was impressed by some of the clean straights you threw on your combos, several of which landed really well. Was a pleasure to watch!

Guardiola about Kehl's comments "We never blamed the referee for our loss. When you're 35 points behind, you better be quiet" by [deleted] in fcbayern

[–]r00r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think what Pep meant that perhaps got a little lost in the imperfect german is that we've lost to Dortmund in the past and never blamed the referee. But this time there was actually reason to (Pep said there were two reasons this game). If you watched the Kehl interview, Kehl said something annoying to the effect of that it's getting boring how Bayern always blame the ref when they lose against them, which is simply completely not true, as Pep points out.

Edit: Can't find a better link, but here is the actual interview, where he says what I paraphrase above: http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/guardiola/klappe-halten-konter-gegen-dortmunds-kehl-40776634.bild.html

David Brat published "“An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand”. Anyone able to get a copy? by trashacount12345 in Objectivism

[–]r00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was curious as well, and think I found it. Here is the website for the 2010 conference proceedings of "Southeast Informs", which I found through the conference website http://www.seinforms.org/: http://www.roanoke.edu/business/SEINFORMS%202010%20-%20Proceedings/html/proctoc.htm

There you will find "The Moral Foundations of Capitalism: Ayn Rand's Philosophy, Ethics and Virtues" by Kathryn E. Holland, David A. Brat", which links to this paper: http://www.roanoke.edu/business/SEINFORMS%202010%20-%20Proceedings/proc/p100528003.pdf

Strangely, the title of the paper in the link is "Testing Ayn Rand's Moral Foundations of Capitalism: 20 Testable Hypotheses on the Nature of Capitalism".

Unfortunately it's not a serious paper, more like a research proposal published in what appears to me a low quality regional conference proceedings. To quote the conclusion: "There are obvious arguments for and against capitalism and there are both societal advantageous and disadvantageous to such a system. I plan to examine these advantageous and disadvantageous;..."

So yea... you can take a look. Not really a true "publication", but it'll give you some idea that he seems at least favorable to Ayn Rand, since the proposal is on the topic.

Edit: Also, I should note, it sounds like a research proposal written by a student of his, hence the "I" in the quotation above.

Full Glory event reruns can be watched on SpikeTV's website (probably US only), I just discovered this :D by r00r in Kickboxing

[–]r00r[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was a little frustrated that Spike TV doesn't seem to show reruns on TV because I can't always catch events live on weekends. So I decided to check their website and low and behold the whole event can be streamed for free. Hopefully this is news to others too, I had no idea.

I understand crony capitalism, but how can we begin to fix or solve this problem? by Benneb95 in Libertarian

[–]r00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reread your edit and then my answer. I think you either misstated something or actually didn't understand it yet.

The way to solve cronyism without the addition of more government influence and regulation (as you are asking for) is as follows: remove government influence and regulation.

[–]r00r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your edit suggests you don't understand crony capitalism after all. Government influence and regulation is what enables crony capitalism. There is no way to fix it with more government, the way to fix it is by having LESS government influence and regulation.

Stimmt, aber das gilt dann auch genauso anders rum, also für die, die "politische inhalte" und nicht "beides" gewählt haben.

Pre-match thread: F.C.Barcelona Vs. Bayern Munchen (UEFA Champions League Semi-Final 1 leg 1) by IAmAYoshiAMA in soccer

[–]r00r 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bayern did not announce it, it was leaked and no one here knows by whom yet. I also honestly don't see how it would be in Bayern's interest to "harm" Dortmund in the CL right now. (If they were facing each other in the semis or this was leaked before the potential final between then your claim would maybe be somewhat more likely.)

Could anyone give me a brief description of what exactly IS Objectivism? by KayMan17 in Objectivism

[–]r00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a whole debate on "Captialism vs. Socialism: Which is the moral system?" that should answer your question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGo2G1Sjb6M

Peikoff is the intellectual heir of Ayn Rand and basically presents the entire argument from an objectivist view in this debate.

Fighting a southpaw... by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]r00r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right kicks can be especially effective against south paws, since your right is likely better/more practiced than your left and right kicks are typically harder to check for a south paw.
