What constitutes martial arts? Only the styles that originated in Asia, for they are the ones that have been overly popularized as of late, or also including the traditional European styles, such as Fiore Dei Liberi's hand to hand, Lichtenhauer's longsword, Talhoffer's poleaxe of Saviolo's sword and dagger?

So ,where does the definition of martial arts begin? As any form of combattive training? Formalized training? Someone claiming that he knows a better way to kick somone's **** up between his ears?

And where does the definition end? When weapons are drawn, which would contradict Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings or Johannes Lichtenhauer's verses? When armies are involved, which would contradict Sun Tzu and Musashi? Or when firearms are involved, which would draw flak from any serious shooter out there?

I love technology. But feel that if we had to work hard, plant our own food, that sort of thing, we wouldnt have the emotional problems that we have today...what about you?

If I could I think I would choose late 1800s to ealry 1900s America

There are so many, and except for Plentyoffish, they all cost money to join, except for Mate1 which is free for women. I have registered on a few of them, esp. the Jewish ones, and occasionally get....smiles? winks? even emails. Of course I cannot respond back. If anyone seemed really interesting I suppose I would join but I have not come across anyone worth the $15 yet.

Anyway, this guy from my home town has been writing to me from POF so of course I can write back. He initially said he liked my picture and wanted to kiss me. I wrote back that I did not kiss people I didn't know. He keeps writing that he wants to get together with me and kiss me. (Hi my name is Sam and I'll be your stalker tonight).

So the question is, why are guys so aggressive on these sites? Do they really expect a woman to respond "I saw your profile, it says you like Mexican food, let's have sex"????????

Or am I just a prude?

Okay first im a 20yr old 10th grade dropout and need a way to get a high school diploma. A couple of my friends are taking a detailed test through all the subjects and when they pass they r givin a high school diploma. What does it do does it give u the credits u need on ur transcript? Or does it just look like like u were in the 10th grade and took an advancement test and graduated? I was thinking about going through Keystone National High School and get the credits i need but it will cost me $379 a credit. Any ideas on a cheaper method to get the credits i need in the shortest amount of time ?
