  2. ...I'll tell you about a new movie about the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
  3. Pick a red. Gonna be ready for paint before too long.
  4. The local one his wife is a nurse at.
  5. Progress has been made. A friend of ours has been helping dad weld on the body in the parts where we removed the little bit of rust it did have. Dad has been learning/self teaching how to weld and do body work. Must be nice being retired. Anyway, we got the cab and fenders mocked on tonight. It's getting closer. Goal is to make it to a CC&C this year (mine) and Pumpkin Run (all of ours).
  6. Pickups Plus Cars in Lewis Center.
  7. Welcome. Nice rides. I really like the '89 but I'm kind of one of the resident older vehicle lovers around here. Mainly because I'm poor and can only afford $150 trucks. Hope to see ya out sometime. I get out to about 2-3 events a year. lol
  8. You didn't read the links, did ya? This is why I do not partake in such discussions on here. Few are truly open minded or seeking to understand others. They're seeking to make others agree with them.
  9. ...so I was right in my original statement that in MMA it's kinda fucked up? So you have no actually fighting/training/instructing experience? Interesting. Thank you. I'll respond with this: Interesting opinion. Why are you still talking about a time where there weren't regulations in regards to a question I had today involving a sport today and a guy fighting women today? Seems a tad irrelevant...again. No current UFC female trained to fight a male opponent. It is irrelevant since my question was (and still is) very specific. So since you are hung up on the historical aspect and what happened 100 years ago let me ask you another unloaded (truly) question: why do you think it (male vs female boxing/maa) stopped? Was there a reason? To be as apparent and open to all ideas as possible I decided to take some down time to research the differences in male to female athletes and fighters. Some of the things I'm finding are kind of what I thought/understood and other points very interesting. I encourage anyone interested to read through them rather than skim while already thinking of a speaking point or rebuttal. Again, I haven't even given my opinion on the actual topic. I've only asked questions, shared experience, and played Devil's Advocate. It's all interesting to me. The 'Golden' Ratio: The One Number That Describes How Men's World Records Compare With Women's We Thought Female Athletes Were Catching Up to Men, but They're Not - similar to above but with some diff info. In MMA fighting, could women and men compete equally, assuming weight class limitations apply? - Be sure to continue through all answers. Some good info, a little stupidity, but overall I learned a few things. Comparing Athletic Performances The Best Elite Women to Boys and Men - I think this one was the one I found most interesting. Alright. I've officially spent more time in this thread than I ever have and I don't really care typically but was fascinated by some responses. I now return y'all to...whatever the hell it is y'all have done for all those other pages.
  10. Awesome. Clean one too from the looks of it.
  11. Thanks, Google. Fine. Let's say boxing. Would you want your wife or daughter to fight a male of the same weight class? It actually is a pretty simple answer that I think you're trying to swerve...which is to be expected at this point. Since you never answered in CB last week when I asked twice I will ask here again: what experience do you personally have in this area? I have trained/trained with both MMA fighters of the amateur and professional (not UFC) level and instructed self defense for years in which we did mixed classes and gender specific seminars. From my experience there is most certainly a giant factor at play here. I'm curious as to your findings based on actual experience. Wrong...again. I never did anything than ask for opinion. I never stated anything about my feelings either way. I simply asked questions and continue to do so. My question specifically inquired as to what folks thought about a gown male beating the ever loving shit out of a grown female and I was inquiring as to whether or not anyone took issue with that. Note: I still haven't said either way nor shared anything other than experience. Wrong. No woman signed up and started preparing for their big shot years ago to have to face a dude. I promise you that. Got ya. I thought you were saying they were similar in the risk factor. This is completely irrelevant. Circus sideshows where a trained fighter gets to take on ol' Joe Smith from the crowd is asinine and actually weakens your stance. Bird vs. Jordan is not the same as you or I vs. Jordan. You could beat the shit out of a 7 year old girl but you aren't beating Rousey. Use better instances please.
  12. Asked a question to see folks opinions. Never stated my own thoughts or opinions either way. Just bringing up that it has happened on levels higher than the High School arena. Fair. Would you let/want your daughter to fight a male in that setting? Not trolling. Seeking understanding. This is the most time I've actually spent in this thread. When is male vs/ female ever "within reason" in a sport as brutal/full contact as MMA? Fighters certainly can decline a match but if they want to excel they need to take fights they don't want to many times. It's unfortunate that women eventually have to fight a biological male to be the best woman in their sport/weight class. Also, you basically act as if they can make a living by turning down fights. They need the money and many take fights they would rather not in order to do so. Still their choice but it's not so cut and dry. 100% incorrect that UFC is akin to WWE. No ifs, ands, or buts, about that. It's not a matter of opinion either. It's not even in the same ballpark. Actually neither of them are in a ballpark, but you get what I'm saying. Also, the folks evenly matched have historically been of the same gender so...
  13. What about the transgender UFC fighter that broke the skull of a female fighter?
