I respect Stallone a lot. Wrote a timeless award winning movie made with his last few dollars and written entirely on his own when he was really young. He doesn't get enough credit for it, but the guy's really smart and that goes a long with me. So him doing a few bad movies is ok in my book.

I think he'd be a lot better off if it weren't for the damn forceps.

I wouldn't say Putin is Evil myself. He's a nationalist, and realpoltik, and has a haterd (somewhat justifiable) of the west. Its like say...Jackson or Teddy R. Both were BAMF's both are/were loved by a good number of the populance, hated by factions. And both got office by getting there hands dirty. Either in Duals, or Military service. Yet around the world, I'm sure the spanish Hate Teddy with a passion, and the Native Americans most surely hate Jackson.

But both were in a manner American First, and Screw everyone not part of the States (or soon to be). Putin is much the same. He's only Evil if you aim to stand in his, and by default Russia's way. I mean its not like he's sending nukes into the US, or attempting to get South America to invade, so much as building a bulwark to defend the state. Its also surprising how bad childhoods build character lulz.

Those who arn't only are real states on paper, and economically and militarily depend on other states. Only fools engage in long term allainces. Sooner or later in those pecking order is established.

But moving on, yeah on Chan lol. I seen some segiment on the training his guys do and some of the stunts, alot of them arn't brutal, some are. I have heard Chan will fight if provoked when drunk, and he's also surprisingly in a matter, a staunch and firery supporter of the CPC, and generally thinks of democracy as a mistake, and can get heated in a political debate. But over all as you said a nice guy.

I'ld agree with Stallone, and there are a few others. Though I find most real life badasses so to speak, you will never know, or see. Most truely dangerous men only shine or are known in great wars. In peace time, they tend to live...for the most part saddly bleak yet honorable lives, and die quitely.

When I say evil, I mean that he's calculating and cold. Everything I've read about his time at the KGB and as President shows that the guy is cold blooded. The way journalists write about his handling of terrorists in the Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis and other things come more as an influence of him and guys like him creating the FSB and the SVR. But the SVR are jokes, especially when you see how they handled their time in the U.S. It was like a B version of "Get Smart." It's a lot different from American handlings of things. We tend to be a little bit neater, with those types of things, and we leave less of a mess.

Then there's the issue of having a spook as a president. What is he really going to tell you if he spent most of his life in a career where everything was "need to know?" If there's anything of consequence going on, no one would know about it until he wanted them to. Interpret that how you will, but the guy does not blink, for anything.

Well he's received a lot of awards from the state by being a goodwill ambassador for the country. I've also seen his remarks about democracy being bad. Still love to see him slap a guy with a fish, or flip someone around a dozen different ways be their tie. The guy's a legend.

I suppose that's true. Especially now, "badasses" find their niche and do what comes natural I suppose. In other periods of time they seem to shine a bit more and were held in a different light.

A real man knows how to notice a joke.
A real man doesn't think highly of Chuck Norris.
A real man holds back when he has nothing funny to say in response to a joke,

A real man tells good jokes.
A real man knows Chuck Norris is the pinnacle of manliness.
A real man doesn't bring up non-manliness in a thread on manliness.

A real man knows not to argue with me.

Argue? B*tch please.

Norris was a B movie actor and the height of his career was a horrible tv show where he slow motioned every move.  He was a weak response to Hong Kong films that had way more experienced people performing way more complicated sports.  He wasn't even as well known or revered as Charles Bronson when they were making films and he really disappeared into obscurity. Then he uses his weak celebrity status to promote his religion in politics. The guy's a hack. Hell, if Steven Segal wasn't morbidly obese I'd say he's the worst B-listed action hero in film history. The guy's a redheaded clown.

And this is why Android is the manliest character.
Incapable of enjoying a simple joke.
Real men never laugh at anything ever.
Real men always has a serious discussion even when the people around them are not.

Ahh true enough in that case. As to spook or not. Never trust anyone that speaks for someone powerful. As one, they will always lie or use half truths. Or two. They will tell the whole truth and generally arn't worth trusting, as would you place trust in a clumsy person to pull you from a ledge? ah well.

Hmm might be, and I didn't think of his good will work. Normally I look at things from an Eastern perspective I'll openly admit, but "goodwill ambassadors" I see as little play things and popular figures of western invention...but a friendly face to the world would be a Chinese thing to do, and in keeping with the views and history of the people. If you want to lower ones guards or make a favorable image, or one of weakness, who is better, a strong man, or a clown?

Hmm also true, though I find in the west at the least, that "place" grows smaller and more to the sides, in favor of the Merchant and lawmakers. Hmm I find they still shine as much. A light always shines, but to paraphrase a saying in various martial scripts.

"The brightest light is found in the Warrior, few men are such and truely great. In times of peace the room grows larger (that is populations) and while the light is always as bright and in same number, what it reaches grows dimmer."

Basically just the ratio of "badasses" to the normal citizenry is at a 100 to 1 ratio, even modern military studiest seem to support this, plus even trained soldiers have shown not to be equal, even in the age of firearms with those few.  When major wars or risky ventures happen, those genetic markers or mindsets, are largely the ones that survive and thrive, while the average citizenry, from 4000bc, till 2012 ad, always will die in the largest numbers. So in more older or violent times those men shine more as...well lack of a better word, the darkness shrinks.

Its like, say a thousand voices say no to such and such a manner, the heavily outnumber the 100 that say yes. That 100 is good for 500 but not a thousand...if however the numbers drop to 400...

The fact is however when wars arn't being waged, or times of hardship, exploration, or risk, and the numbers are in favor of the more numerous sorts, then the balance shifts, and such men are useless. Its been seen countless times in history. When a trying time arises, great men always are found. When times of stagnation or peace are around, poor men are always found. In an odd manner, Peace can in some matters be far more destructive to the human condition than war. While at the same time War can be damaging to life in general.

Also, don't confuse badassery or power with manliness. While a manly man is automaticly badass and powerfull, the reverse does not apply.

That's the point.

Seriously, Envy pretty much causes confusion on what gender he is in his iconic form, though it's supposed to be male. Doesn't look it, but again that's the point 

Things get stranger later on though in the Brotherhood series which more closely follows the manga.

The only way a 72 year old republican get beat anyone is by not shutting up about gays and jesus. The guys is not threatening, not because of his age but because he's a joke.

It's not like he's this guy


That's an old man that can f*ck people up. Not some 3rd rate karate instructor who made cheap films in the seventies.

Arnie's a joke too. With the exception of The Terminator (that would be the first in the series and not the entire series. Cameron was way better than Uncle Bob) and the first predator, his career's riddled with crap movies.
