Karambit Maybe it's a bad choice for cold weather climate

[Phil Elmore]

Well Phil, you are fortunate if your "Boss" pays you to sit there and jaw with me.

I'm on vacation this week.

Since you can develope a whole psychological profile about someone from a few posts you should be working for the NSA.

You may be a hostile child, but you're hardly a threat to national security. If only those cushy government jobs were so easy to land.

You want to know something Phil, it's not gratifying to me to see all the effort you're putting behind this. Maybe humorous but not gratifying

This is hard?

Let me save Phil the trouble of posting his next reply. It will go like, It's not too hard to figure me out from my posts and he really isn't putting that much effort into these posts on a little man like me blah, blah, blah for about 5 paragraphs.

I like to keep my "blah, blah, blahs" to three paragraphs or less. Anything more and people start bitching.

Oh I forgot about you being William Shakespear and being able to write "anything".

I can spell "Shakespeare," at least.

And how Phil is Mr. "Sonnet on Demand". I'll kick that out to him and he surely can't let that go by.

If you want to pay me to write a sonnet, that's fine by me. My rates are pretty flexible.

Now Phil will respond to this by saying I'm the "know it all". He'll throw out a few more words about imaturity blah blah blah for about 16 paragraphs.

I will?

But hey I'm not worried about this remember beacause of Phil's master intellect he has not only deduced the exact location of Osama but has also figured out I'm a 13 year old kid playing G.I. Joes and have my own computer in my room. If Phil's boss wants to pay him for rhetoric and not bean counting I'm sure he gets his money's worth.

Till next time.

You do realize that you're making a fool of yourself, right?

I post here for fun. You don't sound like you're having any.

He really has. That's what makes this whole exchange so silly.

To all others, please disregard I just can't resist

Marcelu, are you trying to be an absolute prick

No I just don't like racism. Or bad spellers.

No, but I taught those kids for eight years, they're pretty cool and despite their learning challenges they fare quite well considering what most of them have been through. You're a dick for employing that little dig though.

I think it would be a good time for you to learn that some people don't need the little comic book emoticon illustrations to understand when someone's playing with the ridiculous nature that has passed in and out of the thread.

Really? Is now a good time? Oh, okay! Dick.

Oh, and maybe you might want to check your own assumptions of race, as I have little doubt you've already made a mental picture of my skin color

I don't care what your skin color is, your remark sounds racist

...oh screw this, your one little post is filled with so many assumptions that I could write a book. What a joke, it's too bad boring people to death isn't an international crime, we might be spared your attempted mastery at all that is trite.

You know if you said that with a lisp, as if you had a retainer on, it would sound pretty funny. Unfortunately it takes a bit more finesse than just inserting a few big words to sound clever. Just keep it simple and say what you mean. (attempted mastery of...what a loser).
Love,
Master of all that is trite

A Gentleman's request is always answered. So now let's bring this game to an end. Tourist I apologize for my comments fully. I should have left that last remark off. But when Phil latched on he was to rich of a target.

Mr. Phil enjoys his exposure. I hope a "hostile child" never takes a fancy to him. Especially on the internet keeping one's identiy hidden is key. That is the first rule of survivial in this modern age. Someone might show up at

[PERSONAL INFORMATION DELETED - SPARK]

For a child or someone with a childlike mentallity information is so easy to find. [Snip - Spark] Camouflage is essential for the hunter and the hunted. Hope you never find yourself on the hunted side of things.

Phil may be the toughest guy in the world. But I don't think he or his wife can stop a high powered rifle shot.

If Phil were the true survivalist that he thinks he is he would be way more cautious.

I enjoy trolling with him. Nothing beyound that.

 

[Spark]

Banned. No posting of personal information on the forums, or trolling for that matter.

thanks spark.

In a defensive confrentation who will be your opponnent? Maybe probably one of those ganster types. Well what will they be wearing? Pants that are about 3 sizes to big for them. Jeans like that could "Choke Out" the cutting capability of a short blade. Jacket(Oakland Raiders or another team) that's 3 sizes to big. Makes it easy to conceal weapons, drugs that they're selling, plus makes it difficult to get cut. A thick "bogan" helps keep the head warm while standing on the street corner and help ward off blunt or sharp objects.

(NOTE: Depending on how high they are on the food chain they could be wearing body armor. But let's throw this variable out.)

Just with this regular winter homeboy clothing you've taken away %80 of your target area with a short bladed knife. Throw in a hockey mask and you've really got a problem.

This is racist and it's garbage and you're an idiot. The United States is a very large sample set. The only valid assumption is that your attacker will probably be male. Making assumptions about race or dress vary depending on where you live. Get you head out of your a$$.

You have a perfectly valid argument concerning karambits and heavy clothing,
yet you choose to sweeten it up for your racist buddies by throwing in ridiculous references. People like you who see the world through self-elevating racial filters are just as frightening. There are attackers out there and they aren't all "homeboys." In fact, I find homeboys less threatening, because by their affectations they make their intent known. The people you should be most afraid of are those that seem normal. The VAST majority of serial killers are white.

The stereotype you create is what you've been fed, right off the set of the movie Colors, or the 80s video game Narc--you shoot them and they die leaving drug packages. Get real. Most drug consumers in this county are white and middle class.

I used to date a girl from Sri-Lanka who was very dark. Perhaps ignorant people like you would see her as black. That is why every time we went hiking or canoeing I carried a .45.

Open your eyes.

Thanks Brownie for the great info, but howsabout a stilletto?

I understand that cold makes the blood flow slower and deeper, so in order to get to it and vitals through the clothes, wouldn't a pokey-thing be more effective than slashing in Winter? Or, are you saying to do the hooking and slashing for bio-mechanical (right term?) or structural reasons then? ie: cut a support mechanism?

Shalom, Ya'll

 

[The Tourist]

Yikes! Phil just sent me an e-mail alerting me to this thread, and I just read it. This needs some explaining, and I shall type and save to keep from being 'timed out.' If this thread has bothered you, please read it in its entirety.

First off, and most of you know this, I will engage in a passionate debate, but I don't get steamed. And certainly, I would never become combative over Cold Steel, or any of you, when debating. If you get mad or misinterpret my posting, tell me; tell me you're mad and why, and I'll re-read my post. If you're right, I aplogize immediately like I always have--and always will. To that end, I've been barked at periodically from Phil, Komondor and Ken. Big deal, they are my favorite guys to debate--and always will be.

But be clear on this point, I hate, I loathe, I have heart-wrenching contempt for the infernal idiot that preaches death-with-a-knife and then sends young boys into the street. I hope that these chairborne rangers get a swift, hot and speedy drop to the fires of hell.

The best defense is to avoid trouble, and it always has been. No knife, no karambit, no tanto, no bowie and no switchblade will buy you out of a stupid move in a dangerous situation. Prove it yourself; buy the best Bagwell you can afford, find a saloon in west Texas, and then start telling jokes about 'steers and queers.' Then tell me how your 'knife fight' went.

Now, for my promise. I apologize to Cold Steel, I never meant to denigrate his question or his veracity. I apologize to Phil for taking guff meant for me. I would ask Spark to reconsider the ban on Cold Steel for this reason; there are situations and 'fighting words' that push our buttons, and unknowingly, I pushed his. In my heart of hearts, I believe that he is no threat to Phil or myself; in fact, if we all met at something like 'Blade,' I'll bet there would apologies around, a few beers and good commentary.

I never returned to this thread after I responded. I created a mess. I apologize to all members of BFC.
