So I put a quick history lesson in here, and then added a section of chapter nine. Let me know if im doing what I want to with this. I want is a little amusing, and to catch your eye.

As Millie listened to her mother go on about her new hat, her mind wondered. What was Travis talking about up there? Hopefully he could separate his friend from the group and talk to him. He was looking at Briana with too much interest in Millie

How can I get my Black belt certificate?
all answers will be greatly appreciated. i will start with my background information. I am currently a junior black belt in taekwondo. i have spent two years, and lots of money here in the united states. Taekwondo in the united states is more of a business. especially in my area where it’s ALL about money. It’s more of a joke here than anything. I am of korean descent and the dojang i go to really shames me because anyone who has the time and money can become black belt! they add extra unneccessary belts so you spend more money on the contracts and on the belts. there are 13 belts at my school and each belt testing is about 150 dollars and you MUST sign a contract for a year and pay 92 dollars a month. that’s about 1200 dollars for a yearly contract! I’ve spent 3 years already and my belt testing for black is next month. But now i am fed up with it. my grandmaster is a nice guy, but he’s greedy to ask for this much money! my contract ends next month and my belt testing is next month if i choose to pay. WHAT SHOULD I DO? The blackbelt testing is 550 dollars and my contract is nearly up so i have to pay another 1200 dollars for a year’s worth. should i continue and waste all that money or is there another way to get an official taekwondo certificate without paying so much?????????? PLEASEEEEE HELPPP


Wow. I’ve never had that experience before. In my school you only have to pay $30 for each belt. And the monthly price of $30. If you look around at other schools and find one with better prices, then you can ask them if you could just test for your black belt there. So you would have one certificate with the new school and all your others with your old one so I don’t know if that would work. But you could show them all of your certificates and see if after testing you they could give you your black belt. After being there for a while and the month’s money and you might (after you have discussed it with the instructor) hang around long enough to get to know everyone and then test. Good luck!!
kung pow | Feb 04, 2010


What I don’t understand is, that you understand that TKD is a sham thats in it for the money, and yet you still want a black belt from them!? It doesn’t mean anything!!!! You won’t know how to defend yourself, and your pockets will be empty. If you want a black belt/certificate so bad, go buy a black belt at sears and a certificate on ebay all for about $15
Keyboard Warrior | Feb 04, 2010


I would have quit long ago. Your belt is only as good as the school you get it in and clearly your dojang is a joke. Why in the world are you still there if you know it is a joke? Tell them you are not renewing and are sick of the money aspect. Tell them you are not interested in being a black belt in another mcdojo. Walk out the door and find a real school.

The black belt you will get will be worthless anyway in the real martial arts world so why waste anymore time and money there. Just walk away.
nwohioguy | Feb 05, 2010


You already that his school is a mcdojo (mcdojang in this case).

Why would you want a black belt in a macdojang? It’s like paying thousands of dollars for a car without an engine.

Leave this school and join one where they train for real.
Frank the tank | Feb 05, 2010


Yeah, why get a certificate of rank from an organization that you don’t respect? Go somewhere else (cough, different system, cough) and get on with your training. Whatever you have accomplished so far will help you develop and progress as a martial artist so don’t think of it as wasted time. Just keep at it.
ZaxNeon | Feb 05, 2010


I would quit if I were you. Even if what you’re learning was originally taekwondo, I don’t think that where you are learning will effectively teach you anything. In a place where they care more about money than anything, I can’t say that they’d feel enough concern to correct your mistakes or teach you where you’re lacking. At most, they’d probably just teach you how to look better so that it looks like you’ve learnt real martial arts. A martial arts teacher has to care for his/her students if they’re going to teach anything effectively.

I would really just quit and find a better school. In Australia, we really don’t have that many McDojos or McDojangs so it wasn’t a problem for me to find a good martial arts place (actually, my master teaches me for free). I’d suggest you look around on the net for ways to spot a McDojo/jang and find yourself a place where you will actually learn. A place where you gain rankings through money and contracts, rather than skill, will teach you "how to waste money" more anything else, like martial arts.

Are atheist people atheist because no one loves them or something tragic happened to them in their childhood?
Or did they get choked by the umbilical cord while in the womb and didn’t recieve oxygen to the brain which caused them brain damage?
Atheist always ask religous people to prove god, but can atheist prove there isn’t a god themselves? No, and their theory of the big bang, you can’t really prove or disprove it, So jumping into a retarded conclusion that intellectual human beings were once dumb monkeys or retarded fish-frogs as mentioned in South Park is just not suitable whatsoever and Atheist don’t look smart by trying to prove god is fake because they can’t, until they find proof that he is fake, the big bang theory will never be more real then god.


Usually its because of traumatic experiences received at the hands of bible beaters.
Rick Cain | Feb 04, 2010


It’s because their life sucks and all they do is console gaming. My friend does that, he is atheist and has barely any friends.

Are you ATHEIST?
Zak | Feb 04, 2010


It’s possible that they haven’t found anything that they truly believe in. Maybe they believe in scientific facts etc and haven’t found anything believable enough
Viivi | Feb 04, 2010


Most people I know who do not believe in God have either had a very negative experience with the established church and religion or has been educated on so many religions that they’ve come to the conclusion that it is all made up.
Xiomy | Feb 04, 2010


No, they are just smart enough to not believe in anything unless there’s proof.

Are religious fags religious because no one loves them, so they have to turn to an imaginary person for love? or something tragic happened to them in their childhood?
Or did they get choked by the umbilical cord while in the womb and didn’t recieve oxygen to the brain which caused them brain damage? Therefore, not being able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality?
excalibur | Feb 04, 2010


No not really , they come on here because they are really interested in religion, but want more proof otherwise they would give the subject of religion a miss,
gordon3392 | Feb 04, 2010


Google defines an atheist as "someone who denies the existence of god" I don’t think it has anything to do with an umbilical cord or lack of oxygen to the brain.

If someone is raised in a home that believes in god, attends church has some sort of faith based concept then he or she will grow up knowing god or defining who god is or isn’t to them.

By the same token if you are raised in a home that has no belief system in anything but the parental role models then religion, spirituality and faith wouldn’t be in his or her consciousness.
Sobriety Diva | Feb 04, 2010


Typically we are just intelligent enough to see right through the manipulation and lies the church(es) propigate in order to line their pockets and gain power through the control of people…..

Are religious people religious because they aren’t strong enough or intelligent enough to deal with their own lives and have to have a mythical being tell them how to live…….. or were they brain damaged by havign a stack of bibles falling on them…….
Ms Kitty | Feb 04, 2010


Couldn’t tell you, I’m agnostic.

But I can tell you that you’re the only one here that got strong armed by the umbilical…

There’s some one else on the forums asking what it feels like to have an I.Q. of less than 90…Perhaps you should answer them?

Edit: If you want people to take your argument seriously, I would advise against pulling references from any cartoon, especially South Park in particular. Even if the Big Bang in particular may be beyond the normal individuals intellectual grasp, science in general is pretty good at being able to prove everything on a step by step basis. Kinda like 2 times 2 equals 4, and 4 times 2 equals 8, so 2^3 is 8. Ok, bad reference but whatever. How about DNA evidence? I suppose you don’t believe in evolution at all…even though for the most part it can be proven.

As for the Big Bang, there is plenty of evidence based on observations and scientific data.

"The earliest and most direct kinds of observational evidence are the Hubble-type expansion (basically says how the speed at which galaxies are getting further away from Earth are in relation to our distance from them) seen in the redshifts of galaxies, the detailed measurements of the cosmic microwave background, the abundance of light elements, and today also the large scale distribution and apparent evolution of galaxies which are predicted to occur due to gravitational growth of structure in the standard theory."

Hope you got all that. I’m too lazy to attempt to explain anything, seeing as I don’t know it all off-hand.

What is up with this idiotic idea that any woman who likes the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" is a lesbian?


Problem is fried green tomatoes is about two women who loved each other, beyond friendship. They were lesbian lovers but the film always stopped short of stating that
It’s an iconic movie in the lesbian community which explains peoples conclusions

cjmjm1 | Dec 13, 2009


I don’t know, but it frustrates me too! It’s crazy too because if you’ve never really read the book, and don’t know much about reading lesbian tendencies (i guess we could say gaydar!), you wouldn’t even know that this movie is about two girls that love each other.. People are hypocrites.. Same goes with Brokeback Mountain. It’s too bad!

`I’m not likely to fall into this frame of mind…I once saw a video clip of an outside wedding reception that suffered a downpour…to some, this could be a horrible ruin of what should be a memorable day but for this bride and groom, it didn’t seem to damper their spirits for they danced in the rain just the same…it was a profoundly beautiful moment to watch while the guests were seen hovering under a large tent enthralled with the life lesson unfolding before them…so should it be, don’t you think?

Vegetarian who doesn't eat Vegetables?
Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, with or without dairy products and eggs.

I whole heartedly understand why she became a vegetarian but she doesn’t eat fruits or vegetables. Well I can’t say she doesn’t but only eats a hand full of different ones. She can’t be leading that healthy of a lifestyle how can one convince her to eat more fruits and vegetables and not fill up on carbs.


Tell her to try different foods where veggies are mixed in. Like pasts with veggies in the sauce, spaghetti with veggies in the sauce is awesome, make smoothies and blend the veggies with her favorite fruit(if she has one, which could be hard if she doesn’t like fruit). In order to live a healthy vegetarian lifestyle she needs to eat veggies especially dark green ones. Is she taking supplements, if not, she should, she can make herself very sick, vegetarian or not, if she isn’t eating right.
Sarah | Feb 01, 2010


No-one can like everything on offer, I love fruits not so keen on veg, but you should definitely not fill up on carbs.
Cards should be the base of your meal really but you can’t eat JUST carbs, you need protein (soy normally for vegetarians), fats and of course veg.
But if she(who haven’t said you "she" is) doesn’t like some veg she can eat cereals that have been fortified :) and tablets
MarsBarIceCreams | Feb 01, 2010


Is that like a humanitarian who doesn’t eat humans?
$0.02 RETURNS | Feb 01, 2010


Who is "she"? Yes, it’s a really bad idea to eat only carbs. I’m not a fan of meat from a health perspective, but in my opinion a diet that is focused on bread, pasta, and other starches is the worst diet out there. Nothing packs on the pounds quite like starches and she’s likely eating way too much gluten. Is she overweight or have any health problems? If so, gluten is likely to be the trigger. People who have an intolerance to a food usually crave that very food. About 1 in 10 people have gluten intolerance and it can cause health problems ranging from weight gain or loss to depression to ADHD to anemia to PCOS. The symptoms are so random and are often attributed to other things. Even if you don’t have gluten intolerance, it still makes you hungrier and the foods that contain it have little to no nutritional value. Starch heavy diet is not the way to go.
indiechick | Feb 01, 2010


I’m a vegetarian and I ate high carbs for years and didn’t pay attention to fruits and vegetables. Now I weigh over 200 pounds. You can become a fat vegetarian if you aren’t careful. (now I’m eating tons of dark greens and brown rice and other veggies!)

I was recently pulled over in kings beach CA and I only had my mexican drivers license and I was told I didn’t have to pay a fine but I had to see a judge. What could the consequence be?


The judge will explain that driving on a license from another country is a temporary thing for tourists. If you are living in the United States you need to get a permanent US license.
