I paraphrased it obviously.
Sounds like something a tricky Belgian would do.

Imagine going to this
Makes me sick
I agree with all of this but it’s always been a degenerate sport. It’s human cockfighting barroom brawling ffsI was thinking about this recently actually, more in the context of MMA and how degenerate of a sport its become. I forgot which event I was watching but there were two different booze brands on the octagon, Nemiroff and Modelo, and also PokerStars(which was founded on 9/11/01 btw) and between every fight they'd cut to people drinking Modelo.
A lot of that is probably not unrelated to the fact that the company is based in Las Vegas. Honestly what pissed me off the most about it is the fact that the fighters are stuck wearing those fucking ugly Reebok shorts while the UFC has like a dozen sponsors all over the octagon. Numbah 1 bullshit.

How many handicaps do you want, really?Having brains in today's world can almost be a handicap.
Then why did Stalin include them in his purges too? Similar reasoning?
Oh for sure but if we're going to engage in human cockfighting do we need to advertise booze and gambling while we're at it?I agree with all of this but it’s always been a degenerate sport. It’s human cockfighting barroom brawling ffs

That's one reason I am so fascinated by Khabib. Its not just that he's Muslim, there are other Muslims in the sport(e.g.Usman, Bektic) and they're alright. But Khabib and his crew take it to another level. Dagestanis are not just the most religious among the Muslim of the Caucuses, they're arguably some of the most traditional and pious Muslims on the planet and also happen to have an indigenous martial arts tradition.
And so in a fairly degenerate sport Khabib remains true to his principles and he's not respected despite his religion but rather partly because of it. I've seen more than on commentator talk about how his discipline and traditional values set him apart, making him an uncommon man among uncommon men.
Guys like Bektic and Usman, who mainly grew up in the US, its only natural that while they are Muslim that their practice might be a bit watered down. But Dagestanis are a mountain people and mountains provide like a defensive buff from centralizing influences so he's basically grown up in a quasi premodern Islamic environment. And I am happy to see a major Muslim public figure who is not Arab or South Asian or a Western convert, those three groups tend to represent Muslims far too much in the public eye despite all the talk about the diversity among "muh 1.6 billion!"
SO you guys think backwards and upside down about everything, and not just most things? Being intelligent and actually thinking things through is more "enlightened" than thinking backwards. I hope some of you realize this before it's too late.I agree with all of this but it’s always been a degenerate sport. It’s human cockfighting barroom brawling ffs
Tell me more how about you have it harder than people with disabilities?One would probably make my life easier at this point.. With how backwards dummies like you have made things.

Ah, so you were just having a larf. I shoulda knowd.I'll just confuse myself if I try to reason this out. FWIW, I always think of "E. Chuther" as if it's referring to a Poe character or something.
We barely covered it when I was in school and I haven’t looked into it on my own.
Still I genuinely mix them up.Ah, so you were just having a larf. I shoulda knowd.
Is it that hard to believe he's a nerd ?
Well you know, genius and madness and all that. It's a hell of a thing to be that smart and also a little nuts. I'm so thankful I don't suffer from this! Thank you for shouldering the burden.One would probably make my life easier at this point.. With how backwards dummies like you have made things.
