3 Being bald - not my fault
4 Tattoos - gotta love them when they mean something
6 Drinking - not as much as scottya
8 Wearing a muay thai / tapout etc clothes - cause they're so comfy
11 a singlet or muscle shirt - cause Ecks has all the salmon ones

being fat, bald and ugly pretty much accounts for 67% of the Aussie males

Come on - everyone knows tattoos increase your fighting ability, thats why all fighters have them.

Forget the art - it's pure strength!

Where you picked on alot as a child where does this built up hate for the over weight ,the not so attractive,the people who suffer from hair loss,people who get tattoos cause they choose to ,the 98% of AUSTRALIANS that drink,the people such as JWP,DAWSON and PREACHER who wear thai boxing /vas or any other off there clothing there sponsars give them,what is with it there must be a explination

[gvmartialarts]

Well how on earth do you show you are tough then?

It must be like showing you are cool by not not trying to be cool?

I am confused now.

eating glass
crushing cans on your head
eating raw meat
having a beard
missing 2 or more teeth
wreastling crocodiles
being married to the same woman:D

[gvmartialarts]

How about wrestling in crocodile shoes? Or is that the opposite of being tough?

And missing teeth, what about having your 4 wisdom teeth taken out? ;)

[Viper]

If you had your wisdom teeth removed by a drunken biker covered in tats while he was smoking and was he wearing a muscle shirt that says "I love Muay Thai" out the back of the local pub then thats tough, but if you had it done by a dentist then thats not tough.
Shaz

[gvmartialarts]

What a coincidence, that was exactly how it happened, but he was wearing crocodile shoes, so I am guessing still not tough?

[Viper]

Umm, not sure Mat, I will do a google search and get back to you...
Shaz

[warriorxxx]

thnk parr summed it up...do love guys yelling frm cars when ur running nd stuff tho.

[DazMon]

Crocodile shoes is halfway there I reckon...

[DazMon]

What does the 'OT:' mean in the subject???

[fizzmo]

off topic

[LXXIX]

depends if you wresteled the croc that you wearing then if you wrestled in those shoes then you would be tough

yeah i love it 2 but its when they throw eggs at yoy while your running that sucks.it happened to me and walker the eggs struck him not me he made me chase down the car with him which was pointless cause we had just ran 10km add sprinting after a car going the oppisite way was not what i wanted to do.in the end the cxar won we couldnt chase them down and after we drove for about45 minutes trying to find them.He was not a happy chappy

[Aaron Kerr]

I think I know what you mean Matt Hammer, some/alot of people out there do cover up there insecurities by "acting tough" etc.

My advice is to leave them to their own demise, they will either...

A) Eventually realise and overcome their insecurities, then go forward in life.

B) Carry on their path of self-destruction, until something drastic happens, e.g. a severe beating, a jail sentence, partner leaves them, friends no longer want to associate with them, or the death of a loved one etc

or

C) Carry on their path of self-destruction, until it's too late e.g. They get taken out by someone bigger and badder. They grow old, angry and lonely, or they end up taking themselves out.

Something you may want to concider is that some people are the way the are for a reason, a dramatic event can change a person for the worse e.g. The loss of a loved one, feelings of abandonment, being abused, feelings of rejection or failure etc, can make someone act differently, as they don't know how to overcome their feelings of hurt. Some go inward e.g. become withdrawn/depressed and at times suicidal, and others go outward e.g. "Act tough", become violent, become flirtateous, alter their appearance, or take big risks etc, as a way of masking their hurt.

Sometimes we need to stand back and try to understand one's actions, before judging and condemming them ...and give them a break from judging and condemming themselves.

Food for thought

[Aaron Kerr]

Okay, that was a little deep :-D

[imported_n/a]

Hey I think there are different tough ratings. For example a tattoo isnt the toughest thing in the world but it is a little bit tough, I know Ive done easier things than let someone pump ink into my skin with a needle, and even tougher are my Samoan buddies who do that ancient tribal tatooing, that is tough (to me), and then those people who get branding, that is tough (and stupid)!!!. I think fighting in the ring is a tough thing to do, facing your own demons, but imagine fighting in a war, it doesnt compare, so many comaprisons and variations on the toughness factor.
Hate those muthas that gang up on people in fights tho, dogs, its the weakest.

I wouldnt call myself tough for doing most of the things listed there, I would rather use the term "Hard The F**k As!" ha ha.

[duck6211]

So mr Hammer you should stop looking at every ones downfalls and look at the positives of people as this is what the real problem is ou there every one is to quick to judge some one
