I have trained on and off in many different styles of martial arts since I was 10 years old, I am now 30. Over this period I reckon I done at least 8 years of contiounious training. But because I changed clubs and styles so much I never got past the middle grades of green blue or purple depending on the style. However, even today when I enter competitions, I enter them wearing a black belt, and most of the time I win until I come up against 3rd or 4th dans. I have often taken home first and second place medals when going against 1st, 2nd and sometimes even 3rd dans. More importantly, I have only one instructor, who is a 7th dan, that can beat me outside of competition, generally as a club challenge where it is more like a street fight with only basic rules so as not to cause very serious injury. But I have beeten many of my past instructors who are 4th, 5th and even a 6th dan, along with others from other clubs. Why therefore, do they refuse to grade me to 1st dan so I can teach

A fellow finds himself in front of the Pearly Gates. St. Peter explains that its not so easy to get in heaven. There are some criteria before entry is allowed.

For example, was the man religious in life? Attend church? No? St. Peter told him that's bad.

Was he generous? give money to the poor? Charities? No? St. Peter told him that that too was bad.

Did he do any good deeds? Help his neighbour? Anything? No? St. Peter was becoming concerned.

Exasperated, Peter says, "Look, everybody does something nice sometime. Work with me, I'm trying to help. Now think!"

The man says, "There was this old lady. I came out of a store and found her surrounded by a dozen Hell's Angels. They had taken her purse and were shoving her around, taunting and abusing her.

I got so mad I threw my bags down, fought through the crowd, and got her purse back. I then helped her to her feet. I then went up to the biggest, baddest biker and told him how despicable, cowardly and mean he was and then spat in his face".

"Wow", said Peter, "That's impressive. When did this happen"?

"Oh, a few minutes ago", replied the man.

I am wondering if there are any other collections of the Twilight Zone Seasons(all 5) available besides the definitive series. The Definitive Series is around $100 for the first season alone! I like The Twilight Zone but $100 is a little steep. Is there a less expensive collection and if so where can I buy it?

I just had sex for the first time recently, and it was a wonderful experience. However, when my girl asked me to get on top of her, I was shocked by how difficult it was to maintain the missionary position. I expected it to be really easy and just be the most natural thing in the world. However, it required so much upper-body strength that I couldn't do it for more than a few moments at a time. I felt like I had to support my entire weight on my arms and the balls of my knees, while thrusting forward at an awkward angle. Plus the bed was too soft and was sinking in. It felt comparable to doing push-ups, and I can't really do all that many push ups. I was embarassed to admit to her how much it was tiring out my arms and stomach, so I asked to finish in doggy-position.

Considering the popularity of the missionary position, I have a feeling I wasn't..."doing it right". Damn, my stomach is sore, it isn't supposed to be this exhausting! Any advice?

The purest form of morality is simply doing the right thing, because it is the right thing to do. Once you introduce the concepts of reward (heaven) and punishment (hell) an action can no longer have any moral value because now the action is based on a desire to be rewarded or avoid punishment. Can Christianity still be Christian without the concepts of heaven and Hell?
