It's mostly that other people say krav maga is fake and would be useless in a UFC match. they say the same poo poo about us army karate though and I see their point. However a soldier is usually expected to have a gun or a friend with a gun nearby so yeah, basically useless in a ranked fighting league.
bbj is the new hotness and I don't get it but MMA people are usually terribly boring so I tune it out
It's all nonsense anyways but afaict you do MMA if you want to get beat up or something like karate or judo if you want it as exercise.

Oh don't worry, Republicans will make sure there's a "phase out" so the only people who get hosed are in their 40s and younger, aka not their prime demo.

Martial arts that stress the real life self defense angle tend to have a higher amount of scammers running around.

Also a certain degree of MMA snobiness though in a lot of places the Krav Maga is basically MMA basics plus knees to the groin.

If you want to do martial arts yourself just keep these two truths in mind.

Have a clear idea of what you want training to accomplish and why you want to do it then pick a flavour accordingly.

Then find a corresponding training place because the differences between places are huge.

krav maga is practical enough for all 0 times a modern military serviceman is engaged in unarmed hand to hand combat, and people really like to circlejerk about martial arts

even the article admits ryan is a bit weaselly about what he plans to do once the system switches to a voucher system for people under mid-50s

but the basic idea for people already in the system is to set up the competing voucher plan as an alternative, then as traditional medicare becomes too costly and providers refuse to accept it, they're left with no choice but to take the voucher

but anyway you guys are mixing up medicare and medicaid

medicaid pays for long-term care like nursing homes and in-home aides

that's getting block granted to states to piss away on tax cuts and smokestack chasing with the rest voucherized to managed care orgs

The Flag Protection Act of 2005 was a proposed United States federal law introduced by Senators Hillary Clinton and Robert Bennett. The law would have outlawed flag burning, and called for a punishment of one year in jail and a fine of $100,000.[1][2]

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, the act was summarized as such:

Amends the federal criminal code to revise provisions regarding desecration of the flag to prohibit: (1) destroying or damaging a U.S. flag with the primary purpose and intent to incite or produce imminent violence or a breach of the peace; or (2) stealing or knowingly converting the use of a U.S. flag either belonging to the United States or on lands reserved for the United States and intentionally destroying or damaging that flag.[3]
Since the law was not passed nor considered by the United States Congress, its constitutionality was not challenged by the Supreme Court; the bill was never assigned to committee.[4] However, the bill's language was designed so as to prohibit the desecration of a flag when the intent was found to be a threat to public safety, the intention being that it would therefore not violate the First Amendment and not be declared unconstitutional.[5]

Both co-sponsors of the bill voted against the Flag Desecration Amendment of 2006.
