"How do you feel about it? I don't think anyone is going to say women won't see combat action in these or future wars. As long as we allow women into the Armed Forces, there will be women seeing combat. Women are already fighting in the…"

James Black replied to Rick Fini's discussion Am I a loser?
"Moving in with your parents due to scholastic financial hardship is more then acceptable.  As long as you get into med school~  And keep working out, it is important for doctors to stay in decent shape to help combat childhood obesity~"

"Ok, your age isn't a suprise.  I am no guru on all things fight by any means, but I have held my own in a few.  Second, I ask if all the guys around you are in MMA because that is/was the trend a few years ago, and in certain circles…"

James Black replied to Derek's discussion Fighting tips?

30 Days to a better man 2012

This is not an attempt to steal Brett McKay's thunder, I just happened to be a latecomer to this website. The enormous success of this group in 2009 led me to feel that we should do it every year. This will be for the rest of 2011, as well as the duration of 2012.

Creativity

Now I have been told that the color of the sky in my world is a different shade then most.  But I came across a great video on youtube by John Cleese about creativity.  I have to say that growing up in western Oklahoma I was raised to believe men acted like John Wayne.  And seeing as how my arms are never going to be strong enough to zip bullets at bad guys without pulling the trigger on my Colt 45 Peacemaker, maybe I needed to re-evaluate my role models. Anyhow, let's hear what the community…See More
