This has nothing to do with my Spring break but instead an issue that was just presented to me.
Two minutes ago I was watching the morning news with Susan Chung or whatever and there was and interesting piece about "MMA". "MMA" is a form of mixed martial that in most cases is fought within the boundaries of a cage and ends in a knock out. But it wasn't that perticular information that bothered it was the fact that this new act of brutality is available...to children. What parent in their right mind would actually allow their child to commit such insane and cruel performance. And these weren't teenagers, no , they were nine, ten year olds. They showed a clip of these kids kneeing eachother in the face and kicking heads. It was mortifying to actually see the future wife beaters of America. This mother went to say that she loved the discipline the kids got. Well you know what lady, not only is it discipline, its giving you're child a hunger for power, a hunger for strenghth which will eventually lead to either mass genocide or self destruction. The kids in the clip who weren't fighting but watching with the most distrurbing look on their faces... they looked like grown men watching another man, and they enjoyed it.
The following isn't the clip I saw but it gives you the idea.
