Open Question: Wrestling vs BJJ for Self Defense?
Wrestling in my opinion is better as it is much more focussed on controlling you're opponent when he is standing and BJJ is about ground fighting. Even though most fights go to the ground 100% of them start standing up. Any untrained person is going to have no idea what to do on the ground and it would be easy for a wrestler to control them, end the fight or run. That's why I feel wrestling is more effective than BJJ outside the ring. Opinions?

Open Question: Situation: A child kicks a stone at you?
Okay, you are sitting (on you own) in a park having your lunch, a family walk by and the last member walking by, a child, kicks a stone at you and walks by (actual happened, I just sat passively unless he passed by); how would you react? How do you react in general, if a child attacks you?
And, in the extreme, a child tries to kill you?
(hypothetically speaking)
Have ever you been in a situation, where a child or children try to attack, if so, what did you do? If not, what would you do?
What would the law say about self-defense, in this prickly scenario?
The stone was kicked, if was intented to hit my ankle purposefully; it was not meant to be witnessed by anyone save myself and he. So if it the attack were unwitnessed, what would you do?
It is then your word vs the Childs; who will the family trust more a stranger or their own child (who may be good as hiding his mischeve).
If a child appears innocent but does something guilty without witnesses; what then?

Open Question: Why do muslims try to convince westerners and christians?
That the Quran teaches love and peace, and at most self defense? Why tell us, christians in English. Why not tell the muslims in Mosques hearing hated. Why not tell the Imams who preach hate. Why not tell the muslims who murder and kill any american they can, burn the american flag, burn our bible, and beat and hang christians for no reason. Why not tell the muslims who strap bombs to their chest or who fly planes into buildings while praying to Allah?
It seems to me like tell a rape victim after she's been raped that the priest may have raped her, but that the bible is good. Or that a man may have raped her but she should get back out there and be friendly and buddy buddies with men. It just seems like we're ready to tell the victims how they need to act instead of prventing these atrocities from happening in the first place.

Open Question: I think I'm Crazy. Please help me.?
I am 14 years old and i set up this account to ask this question. I always talk to myself, even when i try to stop i still start telling myself to stop, and i actually sometimes tell myself that no, i wont stop. I have extreme anxieties and am afraid to do anything alone, and sometimes run out of a room because i start feeling scared. This fear has gotten to the point that i can not go to the bathroom by myself without dragging my dog along. I am afraid of mirrors and windows, and at night i keep imagining a blurry white face to suddenly smack against my window. I am taking prozak and conserta, but though i can now sometimes stay in the room i am in without anyone else, i still am afraid. I have never noticed a voice or even had a feeling telling me if something is right or wrong, but have judged it by thinking about what people would say if i did it. I don't see things, but sometimes i hear weird noises, and i often hear people counting down from 5 to 1, even when nobody is around. I have straight F's on my homework, and straight A's on my tests. i talk to animals a lot, and when i try to stop talking, i cant. I have sometimes talked to myself, and actually received answers that i didn't make up. When i was 7 my oldest brother, who was 12 at the time, snuk up on me from behind while i was in a rocking chair petting my cat. He was wearing his halloween costume of a wraith and carrying a wooden sword, and tried to scare me. My cat jumped away, and after it jumped away i knew there was someone behind me. I waited until he was near me and then i turned around, jumped off the chair, and pinned him to the floor. I had been going to judo classes because my parents wanted me to know self defense. I pinned him, put my hand on his neck, and started to strangle him. I have long fingers. My brother then eventually got away, crying, and a month later we realized that i had damaged a nerve in his neck. He was at a hospital for 2 months, out of school for 6 months, his grades have never recovered, and he has become an angry person. Though he doesnt blame be for his injury, and tells me that i am a good person, i can tell that i hurt him. I have started to be scared by my own behavior, and i am afraid of being around children or weak people because i might start hurting them. my parents are very kind and not abusive, and i have 4 brothers, whom i like a lot. Can someone please tell me what i have? None of this was made up. Please don't think that this is a joke, it isn't.

Open Question: Christians, Atheists, need your help on this?
REFERENCE VERSE
This is what the Lord of hosts has to say: 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel when he barred his way as he was coming up from Egypt. Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses.' (1 Samuel 15:2-3 NAB)
Christians often say we quote the verses "out of context" and that their god had a legitimate reason to commit genocide.
Killing soldiers and armed people in wars OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE IS OK. But may I know EXACTLY under what "circumstances or context" is it OK to kill babies, women and the defenseless in wars?
Christians. pls give a sensible and intelligent answer
Fireball, So if people murder your children, you murder theirs?
Why do some christians suggest that it is better to kill those infants and women cos' they would be in heaven!??
Then why don't christians start killing everyone now ?
Spark, so if today someone murders your family, you would murder his whole family too???
Seriously, where's the forgivenesss and mercy?

I've been in a chair all my life but recently some guys on the bus were pushing me around. This made me realize that I should have a better way to defend myself in case I was mugged.
