back after a long vacation, people. How you all been?
You spelled everything wrong except my name. Congratulations, moron.
English is my second language and I use it better than you. How old are you? 12? There are pigs that are able to manipulate joysticks yet dumbasses like you can't even construct a simple sentence. YOU HAD TO EDIT IT FOR GOD'S SAKE! Which only indicates how moronic and sad the original would of been.
I fail to understand how you actually think that what you said offended me in any particular way. If anything, it has made you look even stupider than ever before. I'm going to show my friends your posts, so we can all have a laugh at how much of a stupid ass you have.
"You spelled everything wrong except my name.

ill use your head for it!
Wow. Just like High School. I am heartened to see such comraderie and respect for your fellow man. Now, if only their were somewhere you guys could slap the Sh!t out of each other online, maybe we could get a bet going.LOL:)
If you are indeed 20, then you are simply making yourself look like a bigger fool. I thought you were 12, doesn't that say something about your maturity?
The problem with dumbasses like you is, no matter how badass my arguments are, no matter how much they prove you wrong, you don't even understand the words I say because your that stupid. Which means anything I say to you is simply a waste of time. This is my last post to you.
It is clear you'll be living a beautiful career mixing concrete.
I agree on your points Jiyasa, Like I had said before, "What's up with all this sh!t-talking?". This matter with this "Exit_Dragon" fellow is a prime example of that post I put up. Friendly joking and whatever is fine but this is definitely NOT it. When I had posed that question it was done so with scenarios like this in mind. I am a mere 18 years old, and though I am not serious all of the time, I am a sober-minded person by nature. So as you can imagine,this kind of vulgar display of idiocy kind of irks me as well. I have tried to make light of all this, but how the hell is anything constructive supposed to be said/had when such outstanding displays of immaturity and vulgarity are being exchanged? I am not saying you are wrong Jiyasa, far from it, I am just trying to add my 2 bits here. In any case, bottom line, the purpose of this forum is to discuss martial arts, in a friendly/mature manner. If you want to just talk pure sh!t like this "exit_dragon" person, you had better find yourself a different forum. PERIOD!!
Some welcome i get from you people. I just wanted you guy to have a laugh. And some reaction i get. Heck maybe i should be the one who should stop posting not any of you guys.
I dont know Martial Arts Jiyasa, All i know is how to fight. And i can beat your ass anyday of the week, twice on sundays. U fu*ken KW. Me and Big Sean ****s on your face.
"People that really are bad asses don't let pride get in the way. They understand the difference of fighting for ego and fighting to defend their life. People that really shouldn't be f**ked with because they are dangerous, don't let stupid sh*t bother them. If they walked away let it go, or if he is willing to have a boxing match to settle the whole thing, fine. I would still hesitate to trust that, because if you win the boxing match his ego will be crushed and he will come back harder."

Everyone says how much they dislike "Exit Dragon" yet he has got more replies and probally more views on this post then anyone on this forum, right now. LoL I think he is a great sales man. He's like the rapper "Emenem" on the forum, everyone luvs to hate "Exit Dragon". LOL haha!
Apparently my little piece of advice hasn't sunk in yet. To me, in my own opinion which i am entitled to, both of you, yes, even you jiyasa are being retarded here. Exit dragon, who gives a **** if you could beat his ass? I don't, he doesn't, whoopty friggin doo man. And jiyasa, if he doesn't understand your kick ass slams, why waste your time? So why dont you both shut up n grow some balls. Show us ALL, yeah all of us cuz this is a public forum, how mature you can both be and no matter how much you want to, dont right some gay ass comment back.
To be honest, Exit Dragons first post was a nice bit of humour that I far as I thought offended no one, and indeed I ejoyed the read. But for some reason, individuals like Jiyasa want to start bad mouthing the dude.
I do not find it suprising that he starts insulting back. He was not even debating a point that got out of hand, it was simply a humourous post. Geeze you all need to grow up. You spend far to much time on the computer if a little post like that could upset you somehow.
Question everything, Know nothing.
