Tblock1, I was just commenting on how it seems he's being overworked. I would never put those kind of hours into a job unless I was either A. getting BIG money or B. utterly loved my job.
Not to go internet tough guy, but I probably would have slapped the taste out of your mouth if you had said that to me in person.

hahahahahahhaa I agree. But you got to do what you got to you know what I mean? It's a tough economy and you can't discriminate jobs like that. My dad is taking an underpaid job right now for his experience because that's what he's got to. If you don't have a job you can't discriminate. And that was a totally internet tough guy thing to say....your size would scare the shit out of me but you don't have the strength to back it up yet. Once you have that 350 bench though then you will be all around scary

I have ALOT of skills and I can't get a job.
I am being passed up for MENIAL labor jobs because either A. too much competition with people that have degrees(whatever the fuck that's supposed to prove for a simple job) or B. My being over-qualified.
I have years of experience working in retail from my younger days and 8+ years heavy equipment operating experience and can't get a job. I've worked for temp agencies doing the most menial physical labor making minimum wage having to get up at 5am to even have a chance at getting work for the day.
I quit my last job for a multitude of reasons with it being as close to slave labor as I have ever experienced and I've done some hard/shitty jobs in my day so far.
So when you post a comment like that it pissed me off regardless of what you may or may not have meant.
"And that was a totally internet tough guy thing to say....your size would scare the shit out of me but you don't have the strength to back it up yet. Once you have that 350 bench though then you will be all around scary".
After a certain point strength is meaningless in regards to fighting. Currently I am more than strong enough to physically man-handle most solid sized guys and that's not even counting previous fighting experience that I have, 6 months practicing brazilian jiu jitsu or my natural wrestling ability.
Group hug bitch.
P.S. I got the strength joke.

Yeah but I think the point where strength is meaningless in fighting fairly high, then at that point it becomes speed and ability. I wrestled in high school and found strength to be extremely useful, and I wasnt even strong then haha. Technique can overcome strength to a degree, but if someone is way stronger than you you are gonna get tossed around. But yeah good luck getting a job I really wish you the bestI have ALOT of skills and I can't get a job.

I've lost track of how many applications I have out out. ALOT.
I'm on the job boards and craigslist every day looking for jobs. I send out e-mails all the time. Haven't heard anything back.
Trust me when I say the economy is still dog shit.
On the subject of strength you are using wrestling as your basis for strength. Being very strong and having speed and power or extremely important in fighting, but without technique and experience you will lose.
When I said strength after a point becomes meaningless I meant it in regards to being overly strong or having retarded amounts of extra strength.
I can tell you right now I am likely strong enough to wrestle heavyweight mma guys. Now I'm not saying that I could manhandle guys like that by any means, but I know my strength is high enough and my bodyweight is high enough that I could do it. Would I get embarrased? Of course, because of their superior skills, but strength would not be an issue.
See what I mean? I'm an average height guy so I'm not classically big in the sense of joe farm boy that's 6'4" and 250lbs type big. More like really thick for my height.
All things being equal the stronger/faster fighter will be the winner of the 2.
That said weight room strength and mat strength are 2 different things. I have wrestled absolutely hoss's on the mat that couldn't bench more than 250 or squat 315. I'm talking farm boy type strength. Being stronger from weights is almost always useful in fighting, but being able to apply that strength is huge as well. There are alot of guys that are very strong in the gym yet when you wrestle them they are not as strong as you expected. This isn't always true, but it comes down to how physically gifted you are imo. Gifted athletes/fighters when you fight/wrestle them seem to apply their strength to a degree that your typical schmoe cannot. This could be due to greater speed, balance or coordination. I'm not sure.
Anyhow, enough ranbling. Don't gimme hard times about not having a job buster. I have less than 2 dollars in my bank account so I will get butthurt over it.
P.S. Sorry to threadjack Andalite. TJ over.

On the topic of fighting. I agree with both of you.
I hate. I mean HATE. When kids say "Yeah well strength means nothing, fighting is all about technique". Usually these kids are scrawny phags who wear TAPOUT shirts and hats.
Strength is just as crucial as technique, you give me a 5'11 170 lbs. boxer and I will break his friggen leg. I am positive he has better technique than me, but I could easily over power him with the sheer mass I have on him. Its a fight, not martial arts, theres a point where if your that much bigger than someone they don't stand a chance because you can simply grab them and take them down. Once their down its over.
Obviously if you put me against a person of the same build but he was a world class BJJ star then he could probably get me to submit from the bottom. So take what I said with a tiny grain of salt.
The reason I used my 5'11 170lbs. boxer example is because that was the last kid I fought, when I broke my hand. I was 5'8 195 then, with that size I was much stronger than him. Hes competed in over 20 matches and was a well qualified boxer. But in the fight it was a smokeshow, literally I ran at him, shot for his legs and took him down. I probably ate two punches on the approach. Neither of his punches had anything behind them because he was off balance. I just manhandled him on the ground until I mounted him.
Now look whos playing internet tough guy...
Back to my point, technique and strength both play fairly equal roles in a fight and in order to be a formidable opponent you really need both. Hell, look at Lesnar's last fight against Valesquez(sp?) Brock bull charged him from the bell and took him down twice but Valesquez was able to scramble and ge tup after both take downs. Once Brock realized that his simplistic approach to fightring wouldn't work he was bucked and he took a beating and lost. The strongest man in MMA was felled in the first minutes of round 1.
