    Freedoms without responsibility? Sounds like an American conservative tagline.

    "chaos erupted on the streets of London when hundreds of rioters launched a vicious attack on police who were trying to close down an illegal rave. A petrol bomb was used against police, according to witnesses who called police.

    Bricks, chairs and fences were also hurled as rioters set fire to bins and smashed their way into a building, according to witnesses writing on social media."

    Sounds like a riot to me. What does it sound like to you?

    'not really' what? If you must answer a question with a question at least make it comprehensible.

    My question was What does it sound like to you, and you didn't answer it. But you can tell me your definition of 'a proper riot' if you like?

    Actually I did because my view didn't change. I would class it as a minor disturbance.
    Now will you answer my query?

    Well no because unlike most riots there wasn't widespread destruction nor any deaths.
    Are you going to answer my query?

    It hasn't necessarily happened yet has it.

    Fron CCN today:

    But fair do's. Let me have that address so I can send the Gypsy headscarf, crystal ball and Tarot cards. I believe there's a vacancy for a Gypsy Rose operator at the end of Southend Pier. It's the longest pier in the world and therefore highly suitable for long stories too.

    Can you also provide links to demonstrate these remarkable talents of your - as previously requested? Or must we rely on, as usual, your word?

    Nothing was "taken" because virtually nobody had anything to take! Unlike America we were not swimming in guns and never have been. We prefer it this way.

    You do archery? What's your draw length and the spine of your arrows? Do you prefer compound or recurve bows? What's your best FITA round and score?

    "Bobby with a nightstick" is rarely used in a frontline riot situation these days, as far as I am aware from media images.

    Would you be good enough to explain how you arrived at that conclusion based on my post? I ask because I am familiar with your technique of deflection, and because I didn't make any reference to a tenured or non tenured position - but simply posed the question that to be a professor (either assistant or associate) in the US requires a Phd. And by your own admission you don't have one. Unless, of course, it was an honorary title?

    I'm also interested in your expertise in "various" martial arts? What type and style did you learn and what grade did you acquire?

    Just curious...



    The only exceptions I am aware of are for the creative fields / arts where a MFA can be sufficient. You don't have one by your own admission.

    Yep.

    My Military father had a few sets of throwing knifes and we used to practice throwing them in my back yard first at a target tacked to a very wide oak tree and then to small targets tacked up to yellow pines.

    My Mom threw them as well.

    I use both compound and re-curve bows and my draw length is 34 inches as I am relatively tall with long arms.

    I am not involved with FITA but I do practice often at our local Fish and Game.

    I am an avid hunter and I have taken Deer, Elk and Wild Boar with both a Compound and Re-curve bow.

    You posted that I claimed to be an ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR.

    I did not.

    I was for a time and Assistant Professor.

    As far as Martial Arts I have been trained by the Military Service Branches of several nations as well my Father and Mother began training me at a very young age.

    When you train at such levels we do not bother to talk about BELTS...etc.

    I am always interested in learning something new and I learned a great deal from my friend and sparing partner Gabriel Gonzaga who was the UFC Champion and he taught me a great deal about Brazilian Jujitsu and together we experiment to create new forms of mixed martial arts.

    I am not Vlady the showoff who has some poor kid who is a member of the Russian Army as Putin has this kid under orders not to win and then Putin about once a year or two has a match broadcast on National TV and in Putin's last match he PURPOSELY broke the wrist of this young Russian kid just so Putin could show off.

    As I have said before....put ME in a ring with Putin and I will teach him a lesson in humility.

    I will no longer discuss by abilities....I have posted this before and I will no longer post it again.

    Putin has gone soft on his support for Assad. What's up?

    I answered it by stating that whilst you didn't see the event as a riot, I did. Let's not get into the realm of semantics and splitting hairs?
