I wanna guess Silly is some kind of atheist, or he just cant you know offer, a non-offensive viewpoint on things, i didnt say agree with me, but basically calling all systems of Faith as total bs, would really hurt alot of ppl. Also, you just stated 3 western stereotypes of 3 Asian cultures, and then do u wanna answer the question why does every great cultures' mythologies have a Great Flood tale?Noah's Ark is Bs though.
I also assume Silly doesn't know who Dr.Wayne Dyer, and Joseph Campbell are.
George, you arent wrong, but you arent right either. One, forms do not equal martial arts, two, it only works in Movies is true, three, did you ever think that all those wonderful martial arts forms you learned were actually tools to help you learn how to actually fight, more or less choreographed examples rather than actually fighting. Since if im going by your argument, then Karate masters who practice forms, cant break a baseball bat on their shins, people who practice forms and stuff in martial arts, cant hurt you, that they can't fight.(see the sarcasm there)
