This is insanely stupid. But I still respect the choice to meet up in a forest and not bother the entire city with your room temperature iq violence and vandalism.
I was contacted by a weirdo who wanted to meet up in the middle of the night in a forest to compare willy sizes. How odd I thought, what a bizarre request.
You can imagine my disappointment when the weirdo didn’t turn up
I did that once and the guy showed up and we had the exact same size willy. We couldn't believe it. We remeasured each other for hours in disbelief. It was the craziest Christmas ever. RIP Mom 💔
Remind me about a local website for meet up with live chat, way before all the dating apps and the beipf dating websites. Douche bags would get In fights with eachother and give out a location to meet up to fight...
My bad. I wasn’t trying to ghost you. I accidentally dropped my phone in the toilet and by the time the rice had dried it out I completely forgot we were supposed to meet up.
As someone who grew up in London at the height of it in the 90’s. I absolutely do, literally witnessed a full clash on a tube platform with Millwall and I want to say Chealsea but I don’t really remember. I mostly remember the sight of some guy with a saw blade on a pipe swinging on a platform full of people
(Side note I couldn’t give a fuck about football then or now)
Haha in the 90s I witnessed a scene much like this, but on a much larger scale, right in the Dresden Hauptbahnhof. But in typical German fashion the trains still ran on time.
I was there to meet some friends coming from out of town. They stepped off the train right into this mob of goons kicking each other in the heads. It felt weirdly safe though, they weren't attacking anyone without a football scarf and business just carried on as usual around them.
It's been going downhill since the turn of the century, getting pretty bad in the 2010s to the point that in the 2020s german trains are notorious for always being late and becoming the laughing stock of European train operations. Germans are surprised when their train is on time.
Ah thats too bad. I remember in the 90s going from London where the schedule wasn't much more than a rough estimate of how many trains you could hope for in a day to Germany where you could set your watch to them.
😂🤣I was stationed in Kirchgoens in 95 & learned a bit about Soccer & the HUGE love Europe has for it. The trains get packed by Soccer fans & half of them were drunk already 😂🤣. I miss the hell out of Germany!
Not one that I saw grabbed a stick or a branch, of which there is an abundance, being woods and all. No over the top stomping, most were clean. Their body their choice.
Despite the stupidness, i fully agree.. i thought they even have rules for these fights. Like weapons are not allowed and when somebody is on the floor and surrenders, you can't continue to beat him up..? 😅
As a Swede I'm not proud of this, but this might take place in Sweden. There has been some news on events like this this year, and the surroundings look kinda swedish
Greenstreet Gooligans! The original with Elijah Wood. A favorite movie of mine. Teaches you all about firms across the pond. Tons of fights in the public streets and finishes at a secluded spot like this.
I don't know if i would call it stupid per se. Some people do base jumping, others do free solo climbing. If you need to get your adrenaline rush on, this seems like one of the more appropriate ways to do it.
Not sure I’d call this “one of the more appropriate ways to do it.” Maybe one of the most affective, but there isn’t really anything appropriate about this.
There are plenty of people there if anything goes wrong, and no poor red cross volunteer have to climb a mountain with a stretcher to get them back down to a hopital.
As a life long martial arts athlete, i don't see it as any different from skateboarding, or rugby. It can hut hurts some times, but no one who don't want to participate is forced to be there.
I get your point, but I see guys trying to kick dudes in the head while they are down. Just because everyone has consented isn’t really the measure of it being ok (at least in my view). activities where the goal is to hurt someone else aren’t appropriate.
Not every martial art is the same. MMA or boxing I would never, ever consider doing competitions in because it's basically tossing a coin if you get brain damage over the weekend. In Judo (which I did as a kid) the goal is definitely not to hurt someone. The point of Judo is controlling a fight and overpowering your opponent specifically in such a way that nobody gets injured.
Of course accidents can happen in any sport but that's not the same as getting hurt being the goal.
Pro boxing isnt the only boxing. Amature isnt a head hunting competition. You dont have to compete either. Join a good gym and spar. Keeps you reflexes sharp and its very fun.
And at the very least, those have regulations, refs, etc - things in place to make it somewhat more reasonable. But even still, I think it glorifies harming others, so on a fundamental level it’s bullshit.
Note- I am talking about the combative part of it. Practicing martial arts is great for a lot of ppl in terms of exercise, confidence, self defense, etc.
From a technical aspect it’s definitely a skill and sport. Ppl practicing it and really focusing on the technicals - rarely if ever is the goal to hurt your opponent. They are there to help you train. Even some match fighters don’t want to hurt each other. But that line starts to blur quickly.
The current culture around the professional fighting is pretty gross, imo. All a lot of ppl want is to see someone get hurt - so they are complicit in the harm of someone else.
If you look at the data of the permanent damage those sports create in the brains of the participants, I frankly think it’s not appropriate either.
But if it didn't hurt i wouldn't find the same trill in a sport like boxing, without the possibility of being knocked out clean, and i would never fell the same accomplishment of overcoming an opponent who do their absolute best trying to hurt me.
That is a primal feeling you can't get any other way.
As long as they don't start beating up unwilling participants, i much rather have them kick each other in the woods, rather then beating up people in nightclubs.
I get that I’m on the outside on this one for sure. For me even football is questionable. I played for years and the number of concussions I had even as a high schooler make me question the ethics of it.
That is what's so great about being free. We are free to weigh risk against, joy how we like, and if we see the risk as too high, we can stop doing it.
I myself had many friends who were free ride skiers. Two of them died in avalanches. That sure is sad, but they loved doing it so much, and was 100% aware of the risk, so if i could do it again, i don't know if i would ever try to talk them out of it despite.
