You're so fucking worried about some random /Brazilian getting his or her feelings hurt? What the fuck is this world coming to? Get outta here!

You're not worried about anyone, national pride can fuck off and so can you.

In that case fuck women's feelings too, lets keep them all in burkas.

warning, Atheism can lead to hatred of the religious

What's to love about it? Seriously..

Ok youre comparing the olympics to mma which is total bullshit, one is a team deal for medals/national pride and one is singular for one belt, and yes nationalism can fall under racism.

Nationalism cannot fall under racism. Racism is racism. People can mix and match, but they are two totally different things. don't let anyone tell you different. I know the world is a complicated place, but this particular subject is real simple in a way.

The practice of saying you are better than a group of other people outside your area or race, jeez, what a gray area...

Yeah, the atheist is the one whos the bad guy in that situation huh? skepticism is such a bad thing for something with no actual evidence...

Well I didn't mean to come off like that exactly, just telling it like I see it. I personally am agnostic. I am skeptical of a God as I am skeptical of the big bang, since after all, we cannot go back in time. Although the big bang THEORY is based off measurements and calculations, unlike God.

Anyway, all I saw was a guy trying to push his religion on other folks and in the other corner a guy belittling people for believing in a God.

That's funny. while on campus today there was this guy preaching Christianity out on in the lawn area. Guy seemed a couple cans short of a sixpack. Then, about 100yards away, was this pissed off atheist guy preaching...well to NOT believe in Christianity* lol

*You never usually see atheists in America complaing about Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, etc. They usually play it safe and stay in the comfort zone with Christianity.

anyway I thought it would of been pretty cool if the two just got gloves on and went at it like real men

That's not specific enough, agnostic and gnostic deal with what you know, not what you believe, so saying youre just an 'agnostic' is a dodge. You are an atheist and so is everybody else, if you only believe in one god you are 99.999% atheist. and theism and gnosticism aren't mutually exclusive you can be a gnostic theist, gnostic atheist, agnostic theist, agnostic atheist.

That's retarded, there's actual evidence for that, check out talkorgins.org for all your questions about evolution, big bang, religious questions etc. Also.. no physicist is arguing over the fact that it happened, there is no debate, sorry to burst your little switzerland bubble of trying to stay neutral but you sound like swing state voter who has no idea what they're saying.

Thats how i know you are not scientifically inclined, you actually used the colloquial use of "theory" instead of the "scnetific theory" definition, which is wayyyyy different, one is peer reviewed and studied and tested thouroughly, you have no fucking idea what youre saying. Scientific 'Theory' is the highest mark in science you vapid fool

Ah, I see you argue against Nationalism, yet subtly support the country of Cameroon. Interesting...

All this 'Chael will get killed in Brazil" shit is so stupid. Brazilian fans are given way too much credit.
...But wait! they do soccer chants!!...

I agree. People actually think the Brazilians are just going to pull out a gun and kill him. Its ridiculous.

I know i was the captain who created this thread but

[oilspill]

think the United Nations is having an event in Rio around the same time, there wasn't gonna be any hotel rooms available for anybody even if UFC had a venue for the fights...which they also don't yet have.

[6RANDON1POSEY9]

Well this thread got stupid fast...

[themull]

I hear all this talk about Dana and Chael being scared of Brazil and I am thinking-----> . Why would they be scared in Brazil? Are the fans there that lame that they would commit violence against them? If thats true then the UFC needs to quit going to Brazil all together. Scared of Brazil that some funny stuff. I could see them being scared of going to Russia or China but Brazil? Get real.

JDS did a photshoot with Mir a couple of months ago, where underneath one of the photos, it said they were going to be playing UFC Undisputed later on that day for charity or something...

A couple hours later, JDS gets numerous emails and messages, threatening not only himself but his family also, for hanging around with the guy who broke Big Nogs arm...JDS then rang them up and said he couldn't play Undisputed that evening because of it...

I believe 100% they are afraid for Chael's safety and that they want to give Chael some extra advantage in this fight...If they wanted it to happen in Brazil they would have made it happen, there's hundreds of suitable venues...

If thats true then Brazilian fans are a bunch of pussies. Thats lame as hell. It takes real balls to threaten someone's safety . I say screw Brazil then if their fans are like that.
