Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

@rappinpap  Yeah but the UFC has also skipped out on doing fight cards in cities like Miami (Sunrise, FL =/= Miami), Detroit, Philadelphia, Honolulu, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Portland, Calgary, and Vancouver in recent times.  I'd rather see some of these cities get another UFC fight card than an isolated city in Alaska.

Yes, I just saying it is possible but it is unlikely.

Listen, I'm not gonna act like I know a lot about the politics involved, because I don't, but the world leaders need to figure something out. These terrorist pricks should all be put to death ASAP.

To make things even worse, according to the BBC, there was a 6.5 earthquake in Japan that triggered a small tsunami.   What a ****** Friday the 13th.

I honestly am not in the mood for UFC hype. 
Everyone needs to hope for justice in Paris.

My heart broke after hearing about the Paris attacks. I think my life has just taken a new course.

My hearts go out to the people of Paris. Allah will punish those disgusting people who were responsible for this.

The issue at hand has nothing to do with the question of God's existence. Look around you, look at what the world has become, and look at what the world is becoming to.

Further division will only lead to more conflict.

proud to be animal lover, tree hugger and dirt worshipper. anybody who hurts animals and destroys the planet is going to HELL. Fracking. a combo of ******* and cracking the earth for oil. perfect word for it. france just launched air strikes all over syria. kill those jihadists. we have been fed a lie. i know isis has more than 50,000 fighters. the u.s has claimed 5000 airstrikes in the tri-   area of syria, iraq and afghanistan in 2015. your telling me they could not kill a measly 30,000 people with hell fire missiles with that many strikes?. isis has many more members than 50,000.

@MikeLovesTacosXD  Blame the newsertainment media like CNN and NBC for these atrocious spree killings.  They are the ones who give these **********s their 5 minutes of infamy by plastering their face on the television and try and justify their crimes. This is in spite of the fact that criminal psychologists have confirmed that the ONLY reason these ****heads commit these shootings, is because they get notoriety and were inspired by past cases like Columbine; a shooting that, itself, was supposed to be a copycat crime of the Oklahoma City bombing, as both shooters claimed inspiration from Timothy McVeigh.

The moment that the ******* "news" stops giving these societal zeros the attention that they crave for these crimes, then you will see a decline in the numbers of these ******* mass shootings.  But until the "news networks" like CNN and NBC (who do this out of necessity for ratings) stops turning these tragedies into political talking points to push an agenda and focus on the victims who died at the hands of these psychopaths, instead of turning their deaths into a ******* statistic equivalent to a FPS K/D ratio, they are culpable for every death that happens in these shootings.
