Is this even worth fighting for?

[jamesb]

eh?
sorry but I missed the punchline there?

Thanks for the ad though, as most people may have forgotten that Razer is in fact for hire, available for Parties, wedding, barmizvahs, schools, libraries, youthclubs, and many other things. All of the people who have hired Razer in the past have given positive feedback and many have repeadly booked.

the phone numbers wrong though.
If you are interested in hiring Razer, e-mail Ian lewis on Ianrazerlewis@bigfoot.com, or e-mail me if you want more information.

Thanks Karoline

I think Caroline was refering to the lack of success they will have if they continue with such a rediculous way of thinking.

so, chickens? no.
I think most people would fight if they were going to have all their damgage repaid!!!
Its the fact that they wont fight unless all their damage is paid, and whatever other plethora of prima-dona demands, that makes them chicken!

It also makes building a robot a more interesting challenge. Because you know that everything might be damaged you start looking for less expensive parts and cheaper solutions. Many a scrapheap has been visited by Mario and I and we sometimes did things to parts the people who threw them away could not imagine to be possible. It was fun to surpise them.

Now theres a thought - theres a bloke that looks just like Ian Lewis selling the Big Issue in the foyer of ASDA at Hollingbury, Brighton ... honest!
I might just give him the money for the mag out of the goodness of my heart poor dear

Ha ha, love it!
can you get a pic, Ive got to send that to ol potato head...

The Razer arguement has been done to death, so Ill try one more time to get a point accross, then quit forever.

Imagine you are a supermodel (behave...) you have been offered a fight by Jordan, and would love to kick her butt, but you have a fasion show every week and you cant show up with a broken nose. What do you do? If Jordan agreed to pay your loss of earning if she gets a lucky punch in, Im sure you go for it, but if not, who pays the rent? You are not obliged to fight her, but youd like to.

Is is wrong to risk your livelyhood, and the rent, just to have a bit of violent fun?

there we go, final attempt, hope its clear.

[anukhet]

Ill smile sweetly and ask him - this guy has a beard but I thought I saw Ian nudie-faced lately.... now wheres my camera?
Anyway I remember that you started this debate

[maddox]

The problem,is that Razer started out as fighter. Got the advertisement as a fighter.But earns better by drilling holes in cardboard, because the managment says so.

This sounds almost like the spinner-non spinner arguments. Almost nobody likes to find there machine in bits after a fight,so in most cases, non limited weapons are not even in the fun part of the hobby.

But Hey, we cant force a boxer turned ballerina to fight again.

[babeth]

I second that Mario.
James, following the logic of your explanation... Razer started as a boxer, won a lot of fights, sat at the top of the world, and now refuses to fight because he would lose his lucrative contracts on the catwalk and in beauty contests. Silly isnt it ?
Unfortunatly it is not really like that and there is a lot more stuff involved. You want to quit the discussion, fine. I want to quit the discussion too... with saying this: Razer stopped participating (who knows forever) and ranting about championships being obsolete by his absence are ridiculous. Many a champ has stepped down at the height of his career in order not to be forgotten as that old bloke who keeps losing but instead to be remembered as the champ of the golden old days. No matter what the team of Razer does or want to do, allow them the honor of being the champ of the golden old days and stop whining. Give the new kids on the block their chance to shine !

[jamesb]

You should read the above posts before acusing me of whining.

This thread, as I explained above, was a lighthearted dig in the ribs for the current (deserved) champ as I know how this subject hits a nerve.

People have taken me seriously, so I stated it was a joke, people continued to take me seriously, so I went along with it by responding, and people are STILL taking me seriously.

For the final time....... it was a joke!!!!

God! I hope people dont do this to Mikey Schumacher when he goes, it wouldnt be fair to call him a wimp for not continuing to race once hes retired.
