UFC 143

[SPX]

What I was really saying was that I feel like if you want to be a cop then you need a good reason to do it. Don't just sign up because you need a job and you're not really qualified to do something else. Sign up because you genuinely have that personality type where you want to protect and serve.

Becomnig a cop is a good idea. You can make money and a pension.

And die.

It doesn't look like it's terribly likely that being a cop will directly lead to your death. There are something like 800,000 law enforcement personnel in the country as of 2006 and statistics show that every 54 hours one of them will die, but about 56% of those are traffic accidents. So about 163 officers die annually but about 91 of those are traffic related. The odds are actually in your favor depending on the area your in.

And die.

I thought you were telling edmannn to "DIE." I was like " oh no lets not start 2012 this way."

BLOZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Diaz takes this even though I'd much rather see Condit win. UGH.

City of God is so real.

[Ludo]

Well that's still more than most Americans know about Brazil. . .

Name one single popular american film that could have taught them more about us than City of God taught us about them.

I for one learned a lot from Fast Five

[Ludo]

I think they know a lot more about the US than we know about Brazil if only because of movies.

That means they know about the US that exists in film, which isn't very accurate.

[Luke]

while Maia and Nog are playboys.

By that you mean they had running water.

[SPX]

Well consider that maybe they don't know anything is wrong, or that things are different anywhere else in the world. Brazilians probably know about as much about america as we do about Brazil. Money is probably a big motivation too. Better to make your money walking a beat and shooting at criminals than wasting away sewing soccer balls.

Thoughts on Jorgensen/Barao?

Barao is a little overrated atm IMO. I was on his badwagon in the very beginning, but I think his hype is a little out of proportion to his skill at this point IMO. I think it will be a close fight, but ultimately, I think Jorgenson will win a decision.
