onehappybear · 2013-09-12T18:30:50+00:00

nah, i really just need to get away from reddit. i'd been away for months and months, came back, and regret it tremendously. it's just time to move on, and i don't ever really move on unless i burn the bridge. it's the way i've always been, unfortunately, and it's probably the way i'll always be.

i'd go with pretty basic, broad groupings. here are some of my ideas, in no particular order with short explanations, and anyone can feel free to make additional suggestions:

Sexuality (for all issues related to human sexuality - LGBT stuff goes here, also perhaps anti slut-shaming stuff too?)
Gender (for all issues related to gender - i would guess a lot of trans information could go here, in addition to tools combatting binary understanding)
Feminism (counter-MRA stuff, important crime / social statistics, and other general feminist stuff)
Race (anti-racist stuff goes here)
Abloobloophilia (important information about pedos, sad that i feel this is a large enough issue on reddit that it needs its own category, maybe this could also include stuff about sex but iunno)
Mental (all anti-ableist / mental health / mental disorder tools go here)
Body (all anti-ableist / physical health / physical disorder tools go here)

that's the start for my list, and as mentioned before, anybody else can feel free to edit / add.

ArchangelleZurielle · 16 days

i don't mean to volunteer extra work for the mods here, but is it possible to get some sort of sticky thread that organizes all the posts in the armory? it's a little hard to sort through all this new information (which is great by the way and i super appreciate) out of order and without topic groupings

I believe the original quote is:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year-old's life: the Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

And by "I believe the original quote is..." I mean "This is the original quote".

... again, you need to be concise. You could have just said:

I am trying to qualify where I agreed and disagreed with his post, which is difficult to do using a compound thesis.

I can't even identify your thesis. Maybe that's the problem? Here is my best attempt at rewriting your post clearly, although I can hardly understand your points:

You are asserting that having a strong set of ideals gives you a moral high ground. You do not have the authority to denounce cynicism simply because of your self-proclaimed moral position.

Cynicism is not the problem here. In my opinion, it seems that cynicism on Reddit is a manifestation of disillusionment commonly affecting young adults. I would not conflate this cynicism with pessimism.

Reddit has a large population. For every 'childish cynic', there is one nihilist.

I don't know if that's what you were actually trying to say, because you spewed shit phrases like "the chimera of hopeful idealism" and "comprised of a great variance of individuals" and "supporting the assertion that the formation of ideals gives one a position of moral or ethical superiority in their right to be critical"... et cetera.

Writing is not speaking. You have ample opportunity to consider what you write. There is no excuse for poor writing except poor thinking.

ArchangelleDworkin · 1 year

It's not about "correct" or "incorrect". You need to drop your flowery, pseudo-intellectual bullshit and make your point directly. If you're trying to say, "you have misrepresented cynicism in X, Y and Z ways," just say that.

The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy.

-- H.L. Mecken

It's a persecution complex. Redditors want to believe they are oppressed or bullied, that someone is against them. It's Christians, it's Israel and the Jews, it's feminists... it's anyone who stands to gain something by leveling a playing field dominated by white, heterosexual men. They hate women because women are friend-zoning rape maker-uppers, but hate feminists more because they are plotting to take away free speech.

You know what Dougie-Mac? I wasn't trying to be a jerk, and I ended up being a jerk. So I'll be fair to you and demonstrate what I was saying about Ayn Rand. Perhaps it will be revelatory for you, but I'm sure this is all in vain.

I'm going to analyze the John Galt Speech. It's the most important thing she ever wrote by anyone's considerations and serves as a total overview of her philosophy. If you disagree with that, please take it up with the Atlas Society, because they agree with me.

Without further ado:

‘Value’ is that which one acts to gain and keep, ‘virtue’ is the action by which one gains and keeps it.

This is one of her premises. Let's continue:

All property and all forms of wealth are produced by man’s mind and labor. As you cannot have effects without causes, so you cannot have wealth without its source: without intelligence.

"Value" = wealth, "virtue" = intelligence. If you are not wealthy, you are stupid. Straight from Ayn Rand. Care to tell me again why her heroes' wealth is irrelevant?

But when you live in a rational society, where men are free to trade, you receive an incalculable bonus: the material value of your work is determined not only by your effort, but by the effort of the best productive minds who exist in the world around you.

Again, let's consider why there aren't any poor heroes in Rand's novels.

Every man is free to rise as far as he’s able or willing, but it’s only the degree to which he thinks that determines the degree to which he’ll rise. Physical labor as such can extend no further than the range of the moment. The man who does no more than physical labor, consumes the material value-equivalent of his own contribution to the process of production, and leaves no further value, neither for himself nor others.

Let me rephrase this for you: if you are a physical laborer, you are useless. How many wealthy physical laborers do you know, DMac?

The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all of their brains. Such is the nature of the ‘competition’ between the strong and the weak of the intellect. Such is the pattern of ‘exploitation’ for which you have damned the strong.

Again, you have to consider that she doesn't have poor protagonists, since virtue is intrinsically tied to wealth. The people at the bottom -- the poor -- are not only intellectually inept, but also live in a "pattern of exploitation" on the intellectually apt, who are rich. It's the closest thing you can say to "the poor are parasites on the rich" without explicitly saying it.

Use your mind and skill in private, extend your knowledge, develop your ability, but do not share your achievements with others.

Extolling the wealthy not to hoard for themselves.

I swear-by my life and my love of it-that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

I know you've already disregarded this, but please reconsider in light of the fact that yes, Ayn Rand believes wealth is virtue. They're explicitly tied together in her world-view; the virtuous, who are intelligent and hard working, are wealthy. Thusly, the novel must be about the poor being parasites on the rich, since human virtue is bound to human wealth.

I know this won't change your mind, but I thought you deserved the explanation since I really did come across as an asshole.

onehappybear · 1 year

I'm just going to totally come up front with you: you're a Randroid, and even if I actually went to the trouble of arguing this, it would have no end result.

I say this largely because the real criticism to be had with the original article is his interpretation of Hayek, not Rand, and yet here I am being told how great Rand was for the middle class.

Also, food for thought for the conservative/libertarian: Rand adamantly defended abortion and favored institutionalized atheism. Paul Ryan vehemently disagrees with her on those two points. He holds her up as his idol. He's a fucking idiot.

onehappybear · 1 year

Dude, seriously? The last line of the John Galt speech is "I swear—by my life and my love of it—that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."

The crux of her opus magnus (unless you consider the Fountainhead "better") is that the poor (by both wealth and virtue) are parasites on the rich. She very specifically has all characters who come to wealth "improperly" go bankrupt; being wealthy is a byproduct of virtue. If you aren't wealthy, you aren't virtuous.

You're the first person I've ever seen try to argue Ayn Rand didn't think that; it's one of the largest criticisms of her work. If anyone is misrepresenting her, it's you.

onehappybear · 1 year

I think Paul Ryan is a fucking idiot.

This is pretty much why, without my having to re-write it.

NINJA EDIT: Again, this is "pretty much" why. I don't 100% agree with the guy who wrote this, and he's got a few problems, but it's "pretty much" why.

I didn't want to go through to find all the responses, I saw the obnoxious grammar one and thought that was good enough. Reddit was miserably slow and it was hard to get through to the page as is.

If neither of them are default I would check with those mods and see if they'd be on board.

Also, I'm not really advocating a new rule; I thought about suggesting it and had the same conclusion. However, quietly asking syncretic to let all CB links get spam-filtered isn't going to be as overt as adding a rule in the sidebar (even though the people spamming CB aren't reading the sidebar).

GodOfAtheism · 1 year

But I'm sure other subs would be interested. I'd talk to mods of askhistorians and askscience (or are they not allowed in bestof? I don't know) and see if they have similar problems.

Also, I don't think this is so much about keeping CB a secret so much as keeping fucking morons from spamming threads. The people you guys need to keep out are the drive-by bestof'ers. The new subs aren't a problem; they're legitimately interested in joining the subreddit, will read the rules, and find out what they like and don't like. The people invading the sub like retards won't subscribe; they're there for one particular thread and want to spam their retarded opinions in it. If you aren't on bestof, they won't show up. Plain and simple.

GodOfAtheism · 1 year

It might help to show him this moderation log, that you guys are being seriously disrupted by bestof / depthhub links.

GodOfAtheism · 1 year

GOA, why not ask Syncretic if he would add a moderation bot that auto-removes links to CB / CB2 / whatever?

He's not super unreasonable, and I'm sure that if you showed him how much shit you have to sift through every time you guys get linked he would consider it. I also would guess other subreddits might like to be added to the "DO NOT BESTOF" list as well.

I actually met McKayla Maroney. She really does have a good sense of humor.

I work on the Colbert Report, and when she came on the show, I said to her, "Hey, McKayla, you seem to have a really good sense of humor about this whole 'not impressed' thing. Have you ever considered breaking into comedy?"

Sure enough, she responded, "well, actually, before I said I wanted to be a gymnast, I said I wanted to be a comedian. "

I said, "I could believe it! Do you have any favorite jokes, or a short stand-up routine I could see? I bet you've got some really funny stuff!"

So she said, "well, I do have this one bit... okay here goes. Knock knock!"

Oh, a knock-knock joke. I was expecting, you know, real comedy, like Louis CK, but maybe it was a really good knock-knock joke. "Who's there?"

"Interrupting cow."

"McKayla, I don't mean to be a jerk, but I've heard this one before," I said with a bit of annoyance.

"No, just trust me. Interrupting cow."

"Fine, I'll go with it. Interrupti-"

"Moooooo!" she shouted before I could finish. I was, ironically, unimpressed. But, before I could say anything, she says, "Knock knock!"

Another one? Well, I guess I could go with it. "Who's there?"

"Interrupting McKayla."

What the fuck? I guess this was an original joke. "Interrupting McKa-"

And then she kicked me square in the fucking nuts. Square. In. The. Nuts. And if you don't realize, Olympic Gymnasts are fucking strong. I mean, really fucking strong. I thought my balls jumped into my throat. I crumpled into a heap on the floor, and, after a weak attempt at stifling the urge, threw up all over myself.

McKayla leaned down and whispered into my ear, "I spent my entire life training to be a great gymnast. I earn a team gold and barely miss individual gold because I fell on my ass on my second vault attempt. And you smarmy cocksuckers think it's funny to make jokes about my disappointment. If you ever -- ever -- think to mock me again, I will rip your tonsils out through your anus."

And then she calmly walked away and went on to do any excellent bit on the Report. I lost function in one of my testicles due to the trauma and couldn't walk properly for several days.

All in all, I'd say she's a lovely young woman with a truly fantastic sense of humor, and we should all be impressed with her amiable demeanor.

I have severe Aspergers, and let me tell you this crazy awkward story from my high school years when I was super socially awkward penguin:

In my high school, only juniors and seniors were allowed to buy tickets to prom. It wasn't to socially isolate the sophomores and freshmen or anything, but it was sort of about socially isolating the sophomores and freshmen. Anyhow, the only way you could get to prom as an underclassman was to be invited by a junior or senior. It was easy for the girls -- men are so oppressed in today's society -- but a lot harder for the men.

Now, I was a pretty awkward high schooler. I was 6'2" and 185 pounds of rock solid muscle. I had a part-time job as an Abercrombie Model and another part-time job as a personal trainer. I was pretty much the definition of butthurt basement dweller, and I spent all my time toking up to about a [8.5] and watching Cosmos. Nobody really liked me because I was openly atheist and bisexual. It was a really hard, dark time in my life; I was picked on for being the most handsome, bullied for being the smartest, and constantly harassed by the Amerikkkan Police State for my harmless interest in dating Mary Jane (euphemisms are so smart).

So sophomore year of high school, I didn't expect to go to prom. I was too smart, too bold, and too handsome for anyone to take me. I figured I'd just get bullied. But I was at my locker one day after my remedial algebra class when one of the smoking hot juniors on the cheerleading squad comes up to me. She was probably 5'2" and 115 pounds of the tightest body you could ever see. She had red hair and green eyes (but not a ginger, because they have no souls) and tits like whoa (double D's for sure). I couldn't figure out why she would want to talk to me and I popped my 9-inch boner as soon as she started walking up to me. Her name was Genevieve.

"Hey, you're that weird kid with Aspergers, right?"

I swallowed really hard. "Yeah, I guess I am."

"Well, I just got made the captain of the cheerleading squad. But the initiation for captainship is that I have to take out the nerdiest loser in the school to prom and then fuck his brains out after. Would you come to prom with me?"

I literally shit my pants with excitement as I shouted "Oh Sagan almighty yes! I will go to prom with you!"

She seemed disgusted that I had shit my pants and was genuinely displeased, and averting her eyes said, "okay, go clean yourself up. I'll send you details later."

I went home and jacked off about five times, each time with increasing intensity until I was whacking it with the force of Xerxes' Persian invasion. It was glorious. Just as I'd finished for the sixth time, I heard my doorbell ring. I went downstairs and opened the door. It was Genevieve.

"Hey, I realized I don't have your e-mail address, so I have to ask you some stuff in person about prom. Do you mind wearing red flowers?"

I had a raging erection, so I knew I'd be going for a seventh whack after this. "Red flowers are fine."

"Awesome. Do you mind if we go with my cheerleading friends?" she asked next. Then she leaned in and whispered, "some are going without dates... threesome potential!" and gave me a sexy look and a wink. Double boner!

"Sounds great!" I said.

"Awesome. As a last thing, about the tickets and limousine... I need you to chip in a little bit for them. Just about tree fitty."

And it was right then that I realized Genevieve wasn't a 5'2", smoking hot huge-titted red-haired cheerleader, but was a six-story crustacean from the Paleolithic area! God damnit, Nessie had tricked me again!

"Oh god damnit Nessie, I ain't givin' you tree fitty! Get the fuck outta here!" I shouted. I ran back into the my house grabbed a broom from my front hall closet, went back to the front door and began swinging the broom wildly.

But it was too late. I'd already missed my opportunity. Spaghetti everywhere, etc. etc.

And that's why I never went to prom.

We had been using it, and that's where there was a lot of miscommunication. We had a thread two days ago where we tried to make plans for the 100k mark, but when we didn't come up with any real plan, I thought we weren't going to do anything and made a stupid "LOL 100k SUBS" post.

I don't mean that engineers are privileged people. It's the attitude of "engineers are better than other people, let's put down others who aren't engineers" which, while not necessarily pervasive in the thread (I stopped reading when he started by saying "I'm an engineer... and let's talk about how engineers are more valuable than celebrities and athletes"), is readily apparent in the post.

The bottom line is, it's a shit question that seems interesting only because Redditors are stupid.

onehappybear · 1 year

onehappybear · 1 year

You can write and ask them. I don't think you're seriously interested in participating -- you know, that whole cis scum thing I was talking about -- but after the SRS Experience(tm) I think they have a pretty high opinion of us beautiful and kind and considerate Circlejerk mods.

onehappybear · 1 year

onehappybear · 1 year

As I see it, SRS isn't just about sexism. It's about Redditors being privileged shitlords, and in that thread, there's an engineering student demanding that people worship engineers. Sounds like privileged-shitlordism to me.

I lurk in Circlebroke but am not a super-frequenter; I just like to give advice about management, even if I have no idea what is going on. It's funny that your subscribers would even care that you overlap with SRS. Seems like that might be a good place to get more Brokers, and might also be a good place for Brokers to try a different kind of anti-jerking.

Bel_Marmaduk · 1 year

Alright MJF, for the first time ever, I am going to grace you with a serious response.

It is completely unacceptable to defend pedophilia or a pedophile, which is exactly what you are doing right now. It is one thing to offer them help; it is another to defend their behaviors.

You and I both know absolutely full well that the people on Reddit who step to the defense of pedophilia or admit to being pedophiles are not interested in working out their issues. And, even if they were, Reddit, or any anonymous Internet forum, is not the place for them to do so.

The issue is that people -- like you -- are stepping to the defense of pedophiles. "In its defense though, child predding is different than pedophilia, especially if the person knows the difference and feels bad about their disorder while not following through with it." Are you telling me I should defend pedophiles for not raping a child? That's why we should protect them? For meeting the absolute minimum standard of human decency by not raping kids?

There is no situation, ever, where it is okay to want to have sex with a child. Just because you aren't actually having sex with a kid doesn't make the urge any better, and it is inexcusable that this community not only defends (letting alone the situations where it condones) pedophilia, but actively harbors pedophiles and potential sexual abusers.

This shouldn't even be a discussion.

Bel_Marmaduk · 1 year

It's not "friendly discussion" because they're defending pedophilia. This isn't a matter of disagreement; it's a matter of people promoting illegal and, more importantly, morally reprehensible behavior. That doesn't belong in CB, nor does it belong on Reddit, and it's important to discourage and remove any such "discussion".

I can't find anything about pedophiles being victims of abuse here, so unless you can provide a really damn good source I'm going to say that's completely untrue (sorry if that comes across as rude, I do not intend it to be rude in any way).

And, even if it is, then pedophiles still are not victims. You have to be clear about what they are victims of; being a sexual abuse victim does not make pedophiles "victims of pedophilia." It makes them victims of sexual abuse. Being a pedophile does not qualify them as victims in any way.

Pedophiles aren't victims. They're people with a disorder. Not victims.

What is Down syndrome? -- Everything the atheist needs to know about Trisomy 21

Down syndrome is a genetic condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. That's one extra chromosome, for the stupid fundies who failed their maths (and that's why they're retarded).

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

In most cases, Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. This form of Down syndrome is called Trisomy 21. The extra chromosome causes problems with the way the body and brain develop.

Down syndrome is the most common single cause of human birth defects.

Symptoms

Down syndrome symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. However, children with Down syndrome have a widely recognized appearance.

The head may be smaller than normal and abnormally shaped. For example, the head may be round with a flat area on the back. The inner corner of the eyes may be rounded instead of pointed.

Common physical signs include:

Decreased muscle tone at birth
Excess skin at the nape of the neck
Flattened nose
Separated joints between the bones of the skull (sutures)
Single crease in the palm of the hand
Small ears
Small mouth
Upward (read: upvoting!) slanting eyes
Wide, short hands with short fingers
White spots on the colored part of the eye (Brushfield spots)

Physical development is often slower than normal. Most children with Down syndrome never reach their average adult height.

Children may also have delayed mental and social development. Common problems may include:

Impulsive behavior (like Republitards)
Poor judgment (like fundie bigots)
Short attention span (like 00's kids! Not like 90's kids!)
Slow learning (like all of the above!)

As children with Down syndrome grow and become aware of their limitations, they may also feel frustration and anger.

Many different medical conditions are seen in people with Down syndrome, including:

Birth defects involving the heart, such as an atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect
Dementia may be seen
Eye problems, such as cataracts (most children with Down syndrome need glasses)
Early and massive vomiting, which may be a sign of a gastrointestinal blockage, such as esophageal atresia and duodenal atresia
Hearing problems, probably caused by regular ear infections
Hip problems and risk of dislocation
Long-term (chronic) constipation problems
Sleep apnea (because the mouth, throat, and airway are narrowed in children with Down syndrome)
Teeth that appear later than normal and in a location that may cause problems with chewing
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)

Signs and tests

A doctor can often make an initial diagnosis of Down syndrome at birth based on how the baby looks. The doctor may hear a heart murmur when listening to the baby's chest with a stethoscope.

A blood test can be done to check for the extra chromosome and confirm the diagnosis.

Other tests that may be done include:

Echocardiogram to check for heart defects (usually done soon after birth)
X-rays of the chest and gastrointestinal tract

Persons with Down syndrome need to be closely screened for certain medical conditions. They should have:

Eye exam every year during infancy
Hearing tests every 6 - 12 months, depending on age
Dental exams every 6 months
X-rays of the upper or cervical spine between ages 3 - 5 years
Pap smears and pelvic exams beginning during puberty or by age 21
Thyroid testing every 12 months

Treatment

There is no specific treatment for Down syndrome. A child born with a gastrointestinal blockage may need major surgery immediately after birth. Certain heart defects may also require surgery.

When breast-feeding, the baby should be well supported and fully awake. The baby may have some leakage because of poor tongue control. However, many infants with Down syndrome can successfully breast-feed.

Obesity can become a problem for older children and adults. Getting plenty of activity and avoiding high-calorie foods are important. Before beginning sports activities, the child's neck and hips should be examined.

Behavioral training can help people with Down syndrome and their families deal with the frustration, anger, and compulsive behavior that often occur. Parents and caregivers should learn to help a person with Down syndrome deal with frustration. At the same time, it is important to encourage independence.

Adolescent females and women with Down syndrome are usually able to get pregnant. There is an increased risk of sexual abuse and other types of abuse in both males and females. It is important for those with Down syndrome to:

Be taught about pregnancy and taking the proper precautions
Learn to advocate for themselves in difficult situations
Be in a safe environment

If the person has any heart defects or problems, check with the physician about the need for antibiotics to prevent heart infections called endocarditis.

Special education and training is offered in most communities for children with delays in mental development. Speech therapy may help improve language skills. Physical therapy may teach movement skills. Occupational therapy may help with feeding and performing tasks. Mental health care can help both parents and the child manage mood or behavior problems. Special educators are also often needed.

Expectations (prognosis)

Persons with Down syndrome are living longer than ever before. Although many children have physical and mental limitations, they can live independent and productive lives well into adulthood.

About half of children with Down syndrome are born with heart problems, including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and endocardial cushion defects. Severe heart problems may lead to early death.

Persons with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain types of leukemia, which can also cause early death.

The level of mental retardation varies from patient to patient, but is usually moderate. Adults with Down syndrome have an increased risk for dementia.

Prevention

Experts recommend genetic counseling for persons with a family history of Down syndrome who wish to have a baby.

A woman's risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases as she gets older. The risk is significantly higher among women age 35 and older.

Couples who already have a baby with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having another baby with the condition.

Tests such as nuchal translucency ultrasound, amniocentesis, or chorionic villus sampling can be done on a fetus during the first few months of pregnancy to check for Down syndrome. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering Down syndrome screening tests to all pregnant women, regardless of age.

TL;DR: This is your essential information on Down syndrome from the NIH / US National Library of Medicine. It's quite an interesting read, so I recommend you at least peruse.

ForgonMreemen · 1 year

Are you seriously suggesting that all of the reasons for practicing MAs suggested in the FAQ are moot? Your points don't even make sense, and you're a dick about it too.

I'll take it from the top, for the sake of discussion:

If you're legally allowed to, carry a gun... fighting sports are effective under very controlled circumstances

There was a thread yesterday about this "carry a gun" bullshit and running away. It's self-defense when you can't avoid the fight. Some fights are unavoidable, and having been in a fight before, I'm extremely thankful for my martial arts training. Even if the practice just teaches you to keep your head when shit hits the fan, martial arts is and always will be practical for self-defense. Just because I can't kick a bullet out of the air or necessarily fight off five men with knives doesn't mean I won't come out on top if a bar fight breaks out.

You could play almost any other sport and get the same fitness benefit

So what? Those sports aren't any better or more practical or easier to practice than MAs. And jogging and lifting weights are often part of martial arts. "You would be better off jogging and lifting and stretching and working heavy bag routines into your training schedule... and come to think of it, maybe roll once or twice a week, jump rope before your workouts, and add in some high intensity cardio in the form of sparring." Oh, wait, that's what most martial artists do with variation.

Unarmed fighting is not that useful when shit hits the fan.

Spoken like a man who's never been in a fist fight.

Stop with this nonsense voodoo horseshit about achieving inner peace

Oh no, someone finds martial arts calming? If someone else does something that you don't do or don't understand, it must be voodoo nonsense. This is the only reasonable response.

Also, I didn't realize that meditating to clear your mind or calm down is even remotely comparable to orgasm. And by "I didn't realize", I mean they're entirely different and serve completely different neurological purposes, let alone psychological ones.

Ping pong players can be competitive too.

You keep trying to negate reasons to do martial arts either because you just disagree or because they apply to other things. Just because there are other competitive sports doesn't mean competition is an invalid reason to practice MAs. I could just turn it around and say "Why play football for the competition? You can get that competition in martial arts." See? Not a compelling counterpoint.

Fighting sports is a skill, but being able to fix your car is a better one.

Uh... what does that have to do with confidence building? I'm glad your a confident guy, but people do martial arts precisely to learn to deal with people like you. "Go see a shrink, get a job and learn some real skills." My, what helpful advice! I bet people just love talking to you.

Just because YOU practice martial arts for fun doesn't mean EVERYONE ELSE has to practice for fun as well. All of the reasons listed in the FAQ are perfectly justifiable reasons, and just because they're not YOUR reasons doesn't mean they're wrong.

Yeah, you'll never marry because you're too afraid your wife will cheat on you by blowing a stripper in a porno. Definitely, that is the reason.

EDIT: For those of you who will wonder, the gentleman I responded to said something similar to "That's the reason I'll never get married [because of the girl in the great-grandparent comment]". He was a bit more degrading towards women, though I can't remember exactly what he said.

I think it would be really hard to camp alone, nor do I think you'd want to. Mongolia just isn't developed in a way that would make a solo adventure possible.

No problems with bugs whatsoever, and I was pretty much just in shorts because it was up in the high 30s Celsius most days. There are lots of grasshoppers and beetles and butterflies and such, but not so many bitey things in my experience.

Depends what kind of south Asian, I think. I know they despise the Chinese, but I don't think there's a lot of ill will towards Koreans / Thai / Vietnamese etc. But, Mongolian is impossible to decipher and nearly impossible to learn, so basically if you don't have a guide communication is extremely, extremely difficult (at least as far as I could tell).

I don't think there's any drugs at all. I sure didn't come across any, although I don't smoke so I can't be sure. There's more than enough drinking, but again, since it's not particularly safe for travelers I didn't really go out. I'm not really sure there's accessible nightlife in Mongolia, and I don't even think it's worthwhile to make such a trip and then waste it partying. Just not that sort of country.
