    Question on relationships "My BFF is blah, blah, etc.

    "Why didn't the people in Oklahoma shoot the tornado"?

    "Why don't we ban all guns"?

    Where do babies come from"?

    "What is the deadliest martial art"?

    "Which is the best martial art"?

    "What should I wear today"?

    "What's so bad about murder"?

    "Is it true mermaids, aliens, bigfoot, etc, exist"?

    "How do I become a vampire? No, stupid answers, I'll block you/flag for spam".

    In short all sorts of stupid stuff.

    Even some of the answers or stupid or either extremely hateful. I have seen people wish death on others on this sight. Usually under religion.

    There are many and in no particular order here:

    1. being Which would win a fight to the death (insert animal here) or (insert martial artist or style here)?

    2. Which style is better style vs style

    3. All the Bruce Lee questions

    4. All the Chuck Norris Questions

    5. Any of the MMA is better questions.

    6. Which martial art is for me.

    6. What should i do?

    7. Who would win this fight?

    8. Which MMA fighter is better?

    9. How do i hurt/immobilize?

    10. Those video game questions those are annoying as hell.

    There is a huge list i could keep going.

    Another good one is I am taking my BlackBelt test Saturday what do i need to know? Really? Come on. If you don't know what you need to test for why even bother.

    @Hobble... Who the greatest NBA would be Micheal Jordan #23, than Wilt 'the Stilt' Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Isiah Thomas...even the original Dream Team that list can go on as well. Kobee and LeBron ain't sheit compared to these guys

    How do I beat this particular person. (This question is made more entertaining when they describe their height and weight and then their opponent's height and weight. Probably about the funniest I ever seen was when one person said "I was planning on punching him in the stomach and while he was hunched over knee him in the face..." Right. You just tell your opponent how he's suppose to act. Or when they say "plz no cheep moves." Well, do you want to win or do you not want to win? So confusing.)

    How much does this one school cost to attend? (Um... they have a phone number you know. Why don't you call them rather than ask on a forum where you have a 1/1000 chance anyone knows anything about that school.)

    "What style should I train in for street fighting?" and all the hybrids thereof.

    Having lived in a bad neighborhood, I know this is a ridiculous question and it's not easy to explain to somebody that doesn't get it why it's a ridiculous question. It's kind of like asking "what kind of screwdriver should I use to drive nails?".

    People who think a "street fight" is a gentlemany contest between two opponents will get themselves hurt pretty quickly if they try that with people who are actually involved in urban violence. These people just don't do gentlemany contests.

    I'll give you an example. They decided to punish this guy once. (Not being involved is the best way to go). They basically came at him one day and he ran and hid in a shed. Once he was there, there were a couple of guys blocking his exist and the other ones proceeded to use two by fours, as he was cornered in the shed, to apply said lesson. This is "punishment" for people who are actually involved in street violence. They weren't even trying to take him out of commission for good.

    So the question reads like this: "What martial art do I use when there are gangbangers guarding the shed I'm hiding in while others shove 2 by 4s in this constricted space as I try to protect my body as best I can?"

    How the heck are you supposed to answer that?

    This stuff just never plays out like in the movies. I don't care if you have six black belts.

    Martial arts are absolutely fantastic, don't get me wrong. They can even be used in self-defense (once one understands the difference between that and fighting). They have this whole spiritual/character dimension to them. But "street fighting" (whatever that means) is not one of their uses, unless you're trying to get killed.

    -Did all chinese martial arts came from Shaolin?

    the only good thing about this question is the guy blocked me, apparently sometime ago too. i would really like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for blocking me, it was very thoughtful of him. now i no longer have to read this question that he asks 20 times a week. i wish more people would do this for dumb question

    -where can i learn x style online for free

    -or better yet people that think they are training from yahoo answers and refuse to go to an instructor

    Kokoro, asking about a grading can't be considered "dumb" if it's their first or even second grading, but anything after that should be ignored.

    Dumb questions?

    "Who's the best fighter of this/last century?"

    "Am I too old to learn Martial Arts?"

    "What's better - this art or that art?"

    "What rank is ________?"

    "Who would win, a street fighter or ______?"

    "Is my school a McDojo?"

    anything in politics or religion. or "this guy said hi to me, what does that mean?" and theres always "I smoked pot two days ago, will I pass my drug test later today?" or "my teacher took my cell phone away because I was texting in class, can they do that?" "if I only eat two rice cakes a day, is that healthy?" "if I take 25 Xanax and 800 mg's of morphine with a gallon of vodka, what will happen to me?" "my arm is bleeding and hanging from my body, should I go to the hospital?" and the trolls are the dumbest most uncreative trolls I have seen in over 25 years on the internet.
