Where'd you get the idea that I'm a socialist? I may come from the UK but...
My deal is...I don't want a child molester getting an expensive back surgery, one that he doesn't necessarily need, while he's in jail because he can't get it when he gets out. It pisses me off so much to see inmates abuse the system that way.
I don't believe in welfare queens riding the dime either. Get a damn job and don't just stick around in shitty jobs long enough to qualify for unemployment then quit. It makes me so angry to see people abuse the system, both inmates and perpetual welfare-ees.

I used to do taekwondo and hapkido. My tkd style was...interesting. We were a non-federated club that practiced ITF-style tkd circa 1983-85. The kicks put a lot of stress on the knees. Eventually I did a ton of digging and found out that the grandmaster of my old club was a pathological liar with a lot of bad history behind him and I left. But not without telling all my friends in the club the truth first. Yeah, I stirred up a ton of shit and no one knows it was me
I started Hapkido and loved it but I didn't have much time and I have this completely irrational fear of falling so I didn't get to work through that. Between the two, I'd drop tkd anyday (I was a blue belt when I left, 3 ranks from black) and pick HKD back up. I miss it. Unfortunately with my right knee in the condition it's in I think I'll never do martial arts again sadly.
