That was a costly decision

Out of curiousity, are you an Australian?

Haha, no Michigander, I just learned about the Great Emu War a couple years back and thought it was hilarious. Australia seems pretty cool too

Lol. I watched a video on that; quite amusing. They've even used a machine gun and it didn't work; not untill enough people participated in the hunt where it finally have made a difference.

I WILL unleash the power of Furret

The only thing you'll release is gas... as seen on that picture,

Animals, when in danger, releases flagerance as a deterrance/countermeasure against predators. They fart as they freeze or flee for their lives. It's biology, sir, it's biology, :)

Didn't know that

releasing of the fart is a physiological thing, like, you're "Scared "$&!T-less".

When fear kicks in, your heart rate rises to where it is normal to pee or crap. Peeing or defacating is a normal occurence for soldiers before battle. They loose control of their bladder. Of course not all do, but it's normal.

It is also normal to lose fine motor skills when in fear. That's why when active Shootings occur, you'll find your fingers wooden, or when you try to open rhe door with your keys, you can't do it properlty.

I HAVE heard about that, yes

You're reduced to gross motor skills, your will not be rational, and you face danger, you will either do the following:

1. Fight
2. Flight
3, Freeze
4. Faint

It depends on the level of heart rate. At a certain rate ,you will experience peak of your combat performance. You will at that rate, be faster, stronger, and focused.

At worst, you will flee, freeze, or faint. But this can be mitigated because it depends on your training. If you are well trained in combat, you will fight, but if not, you will react in the three others,

It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's a survival mechanism.

I'd like to think I would resort to fight seeing as I've had 9 years in martial arts training

That's good, we all hope for that. We just won't know until that moment arrives.

True

Does your martial arts training includes grappling?

Not so much, no

OK, I suggest you learn it. Most fights end up on the ground. Brazilian Jujitsu is one of the best systems of grappling you can learn.

Yeah, I've heard that

Hmm, well not much I can do about it, haha

Lol, nor I; but hey, they'll wise up sooner or later! ;)

Oh that's how it's gonna be?

Oh yes, and... you too!

I don't know about that

It's inevitable, Captain; it's inevitable. :)

You're so funny, you shoud be a comedian!

Hahaha, yeah, it's hilarious to me. I like to say that Australia lost a war to emus.
Anyway, my church is going to be opening up for actual services on the 14th so I'm excited about that!

Great to hear that! This has been a long wait; and am glad state governments are allowing it. :)

Me too

Do you know what's sad to me?

What?

Imgflippers likes your Arminian meme than my Calvinist one

OH, hahaha, oops. I don't know if it's the meme itself

Oh no, people are often attracted to vibrant colors so if anyone cannot read, they'll like mine more than yours and... 8 Upvotes to 1 on mine: yours is a clear favourite.
