<sigh>

Yep I know - I'd class an innocent as one who obviously isn't directly involved in any given armed conflict, regardless of their beliefs.

The point is, aside from the lifestyle, I actually want to join to do good and help put in whatever small way I can. I can't realistically see a British general or whatever ordering his men to shoot at civilians anyway...I wouldn't join if I thought there was a chance that I'd be in that sort of situation.

RE Chops - derp on the definition of 'broadsheet.' I also give 20 squid a week to charity, and also two nights of my time to a couple of organisations which I feel are worthwhile, so I commend you on that. There's no reason you can't do those things you mentioned, and inform/educate yourself as well - there's a whole 24 hours in a day. I also don't agree that you can 'use' martial arts or meditation more than knowledge, wisdom or intelligence, that sounds daft to me.

Again, I'd refer you back to the Asimov quote a few posts above.

That was a joke hence the daily sport reference. unfortunately I'm blind and they only do the daily sport in Braille (that was a joke by the way).
you don't understand cos you're head is in the clouds. I'm saying that mostof the information in newspapers can't be used unless you work in politics, Pr, of trade stocks/commodities e.t.c martial arts and meditation were examples I could have said anything.

just googled the definition of broadsheet it is in fact the size that sets what it's called. which causes me to join phill in just ignoring you because you are full of shit

Lol trust me mate, from what I read, I'm amongst the most grounded people on this website. I have a pretty good grasp of reality.

Define 'useful'? I talk with the people close to me about what's going on in the world every day, and IMO it allows me to become a more rounded person, and not make unfounded judgements or have misinformed opinions. Being (somewhat) intelligent and communicative has certainly got me laid a fair few times. It's not just newspapers either - its things like wisdom from other, older people and knowledge from other sources of information.

Meditation? Good, but i don't think i need it - I find it easy to clear my mind and not think. Martial arts? Again good, but when have you honestly ever used it? Maybe one time, perhaps never? I have hobbies of my own which I find the time for - I play the drums to grade 8 standard, exercise 6x per week, read a lot, socialise etc.

Again - Asimov quote above. If it's a TL;DR for you then I'll sum it up: it isn't OK to be ignorant.

You said the Daily Sport is a broadsheet. It isn't, it's a tabloid. Anyway the obvious point I was making is red-top vs serious newspaper. Oh look who 'likes' your incorrect post. Yet another derp by Phil.

If you want to discuss something with me then do it, if you want to act like an idiot and derp on every post then just do one mate, there's enough of that on here already.

i think someone has a crush on me im too old for you, your far too immature

Define ignorance.

that little dot thing is a full stop it means end of statement

oh and

I can't believe anyone is against NMA. This is not supposed to be a life change. Its just for one month. Its just an experiment. If after a month you feel it was a bad idea, then go back to watching the news.

with experiments there are no failures, only outcomes. I'd rather be the guy who starved himself of knowledge (if you can call it that) for a month, and learned from that, than the guy who thought he knew the answer already and never tried.
