I stole Ali's watch twice, once at his table at Balboa's Magic Island, and once at a private party. He loves magic. He made me watch him do a color-changing silk, and then explained the whole thing to everyone at the table, showing the little dye tube and everything--he loved to do tricks, but felt his religion required him to not "fool" anybody.
He is a very nice, very kind man. I wouldn't want to fight him: "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize." Muhammad Ali |

They never act tough or big and bad and the ones I have ran across in real life are totally and completely under-estimated yet they are vicious vicious in a fight and you wouldn't want to tangle with them! You would never know they were complete bad asses. That's the thing and mistake most people make, is that they under-estimate others. You get into a fight with somebody you never know what's going to happen or what you are getting yourself into or what you are up against. I would refer to Sun Tzu's rule of win without fighting and if you absolutely had to fight the second rule I would refer to is "know yourself and know your enemy." All too often people get into a fight without knowing themselves or what they are up against. Know what you are up against and their strong and weak points and it's better to outsmart rather than outfight your opponent.

There is too much fighting in the world. That said, why the fear of Penn?! It's Teller that is the real danger.

There is too much fighting in the world. I agree Vlad. It's like there is this dominant mentality in the world that might is right and something to be admired and worshiped. Might makes right mentality brought a lot of untold un-necessary suffering throughout history and in the end, didn't really solve anything. Ultimately it's the true genuine article of justice that solves problems in the long term and not might itself. It's the sort of mentality that led to the outbreak of World War I and World War II and the lack of justice in the aftermath of World War I assured that their would be a World War II as well. This is just an example of what I am talking about.

On 2013-08-16 14:03, General_Magician wrote: Hi General_Magician, I am reading a book titled To End All Wars and it is one of the most gripping accounts of the First World War I have read. I think you would like the book. The author's name is Adam Hochschild. I am one of those Americans who seem to be in the minority that has been arguing that America should have a World War I monument. Though America was only involved in war for one year, the casualty rate was very high and a number of sources have asserted that if America had been involved for the whole war, 1914-1918, the casualty rate for Americans would have been as high as British or French - or German. Hochschild's book is especially amazing because it focuses on a few of the major players in both the pro and anti-war camps. And I agree that the intransigence of the French in refusing to allow an easing of war reparations was a direct cause of the Second World War. I should hasten to add in case anyone should misunderstand that I am not in any way, shape, or form, condoning the actions of Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. Best, Vlad |

Hi General_Magician, Ohh yeah, no doubt. The casualty rate for the European powers in World War I was astronomical and I am sure we would have suffered the same casualty rate had we been involved from the get go. Even for 1 year of war, the casualty rate for our side was staggering but not near what the European powers suffered. Hitler was a mad man but it was the Treaty of Versailles that helped to create the vacuum for somebody like Hitler to come to power. After Hilter exploited some of the genius of one of his Generals, Heinz Guederian, and blitzkrieged through France, he forced France to sign their surrender documents in the same train that France forced Germany to sign their surrender documents at the end of World War I. Hitler then had the train blown up after he forced France to sign their surrender in that same train. But, really, I think World War II could have been prevented, had the aftermath of World War I been handled correctly by the Allies. The US also refused to be part of the Treaty of Versailles as well, but Germany still had to deal with France and Britain.

Charlotte Pendragon takes no prisoners. I wouldn't mess with her. Carrie Sue can put a hurting on you too. I would rather step into the ring with King Kong Bundy that either of those two women.
