Psychology & Self-Help Forum

O.K. so the video for today on the Israel Guys channel.
I should add the regular fans who comment appear to me to be Christians from all over the globe. Of course, that's not at all why I happen to support Israel. When it comes to religion, I find gnostic Christianity or even gnostic Judeaism to be more apealing - even the zoroastrianism religion typical to ancient Iran and India.
Regardless of that, "The Israel Guys" does make a change from the super-biased BBC.
In this video, it's claimed Hezbollah is in reality a lot weaker than the media has made out.

Here's Chuck Norris in Israel. I quite like Chuck Norris though he is known to be very right-wing Christian.

Krav Maga is a practical Israeli martial art. Chuck Norris by the way studied Tang Soo Do.

Chuck Norris in his dojo. I happen to agree totally with Bruce Lee that karate is too "blocky" and "robotic". When Bruce saw how fluid and adaptable Muhammad Ali was in the ring, he saw the flaws in oriental martial arts. A fast boxer would very quickly blast through the karate blocking system, given they throw multiple punches in milliseconds. Karate was designed to defend against some guy who telegraphs his blows.
Krav Maga is practical but not as good as Jeete Kune Do.

It can't go on indefinitely, you know.

Dare I note migrants who go shopping here are always followed by gangs of kids. Probably all claiming child support from Starmer and co. Their kids totally lack self control and the shrill screaming is like a dentist drill. Nobody tells them what consideration means due to all this racism brainwashing. I thought years ago this country was much better before America started to push multiculturalism on us. True enough, it was too oppressive and even abusive for kids back in the 1970s but now it's gone totally opposite. Immigrant families are even encouraged to have dozens of kids in an overpopulated country.

P.S. Hungary has initiated a policy whereby immigrants have to speak Hungarian and accept Hungarian values. They don't want a fragmented society where they wind up a minority.

Now, there's a subject in itself, Candid. There was some abuse in my schools. I saw teachers hit and stomp on children. Once it was simply for coughing. I do now think a fair few of them were perverts too, including some of the women. We had one female pottery teacher, fresh from uni, who always talked to us about sex.
Apparently Beatle George Harrison's dad knocked out a teacher who'd beaten George excessively. Violence in schools was common.

I must have been lucky, there. I loved both of the schools I went to in England. I remember my favourite teachers and all the friends I had.

Just turned 13 I was on my first day at a horrible school in Australia. On day one we had an outdoor assembly, standing on tarmac. I have low blood pressure at the best of times. This was summer, I wasn't used to the heat, I keeled over and was escorted to the sick bay... but not before the deeply unpleasant head teacher had publicly humiliated one of the girls. I don't know what she'd done, but she was crying throughout.

A few weeks after I started there, they bumped me up to form three because I was way ahead of their curriculum. The girls were all much bigger than I was. Ugh. There was no physical stuff, just general cattiness. Who was this upstart with the pommy accent, that kind of thing.

Still, it could have been worse. If we'd migrated to America I'd have had a limey accent!

I was at my worst at school. My autism symptoms were clinical and it got noticed. I was considered sort of retarded and was sent to a doctor for blood tests, given I was slow and awkward. I think too, in these cases, such children are rejected by their families, at least to a degree. I think Temple Grandin was also much worse at school. The teachers were totally unskilled to deal with "special" kids. They seemed to put it down to laziness or attitude or even lack of vitamins.
When a few years ago I read Asperger's clinical essays, I was stunned. I was the same as Haro or Fritz, except in Austria they wouldn't let such kids study in a mainstream school. They were sent to Asperger's clinic. I imagine Asperger would have noticed, in my case, that despite very poor school performance, I was creative by myself. I used to build robots out of Mecano or electrical devices such as buzzers. That was what Asperger noticed most so he put it down to unorthodox intelligence. In 1970s England, psychology was very weak - nothing like in Germany or the USSR.
Sadly it took me decades to discover I had that type of autism so it came as a huge relief. It took quite a bit more time to find out Asperger's is often part of other syndromes that interact, especially PTSD.
