From where does the gang banger derive this right to commit assault that you and I do not have?

I don't give a flying fsck who you are. Questions are not a valid excuse for assault.

I believe I am the experts on this area as I have wrestled for a longer time than you all were born. Take it by the grains of sand that if any reporters every interview me when I am wrestling then they better watch their ears.

Did you watch the videos? Did you see what the wrestlers can do to the ears? Think before you speaks next time.

You did not answer the question, instead you chose to ridicule someone for a supposedly obvious answer that you do not appear to be able to answer.

I still do not understand the relationship between a wrestler and an attack for a person's ears. Boxers do not go for the ears, do they? I am not sure. Practitioners of the martial arts do not appear to target the ears. Why would a wrestler specifically target a person's ears?

I tihnk this is a legitimate question that I do not have the answer to.

Are you a wrestlers? NO! so yes I can then ridicules you all I like. Every wrestelers in this forums can attest to the deprevaties that can occur from targeting your opponents ears. The buttwipes mentalities of the nonwrestlers are appartently eveident. Just do not go showing your ears where your nose does not belong or else you may get the burning from the molten lavas buddies.

I asked a question on a subject that I do not understand.
Why is there a perceived need for ridicule?

He was a jerk but he didn't hit the guy. Stossel is a man...he backs down to nobody.

The wrestler was a bigger man. One who knows how to solve his problems with violence.

Personally, I find John Stossel's interviewing style to be obnoxious. I'm suprised that he doesn't get smacked around more often.

If that guy was on roids at the time, he needed to get a fscking refund. Hell, I'm bigger than him.

I have an old event program from the days of Stampede Wrestling when Dr Dave Schultz wrestled here in Calgary. He's listed at 6'3" 240lbs. He would eat you for breakfast dude.

I'm 6' 210 lbs. with under 15% bodyfat. I'm not much smaller over all, and proportionately much bigger and far more defined than he is in that video.

Yeah, wrestlers always seem to have 20%+ bodyfat. It's gross.

I like Stossel because he isn't afraid to call anybody out regardless of his personal opinion. As cliche as it may sounds, he seems to be one of the few more "fair and balanced" reporters out there.
