The Best Tool For Protecting Yourself?
Most people ask, what should I carry to protect myself from violent attack? My answer - a great knowledge of the law! How can you defend yourself if you do not even know what the law allows? Most people believe the law forces them into victimhood. This is just not true. Ignorance is far more likely to turn you into a victim. I present a basic discussion on the principals of self defence, third party defence and defence of property in the UK.

    I am born and raised in Norway. I used to smoke but had to stop smoking because it was too expensive to smoke here. started vamping. Yeah tobacco, alcohol and healthy food here is very expensive.A proper steak is of cause really expensive. too. Living in Norway in general too expensive. So expensive that they scare away alot of tourisme.

    Regarding Wolves , they pose no threat to humans and if you see one anywhere in Europe it should be considered a rare honour. Farmers are compensated generously by the EU for any livestock lost to protected predators such as wolves or Bears (that are also in Norway). But Farmers and also hunting clubs really want the ban lifted on hunting for purely financial reasons and unfortunately they hold a lot of political power. Im just saying its important not to get on the bandwagon when it comes to victimising these animals. They are a treasure.

    I always saw strip clubs as places for married men. I was single but my married buddies always wanted to go to strip clubs when they had a night out. I would sacrifice my night so they could have some innocent fun. They could get worked up and then go and take care of the wife at home. As for myself on the other hand was stuck with the other hand.

    The thing about Norway is not that people are very rich, but that nobody is very poor. That allows for higher prices. As for taxes on alcohol, tobacco and candy, that's something I really like. Because that means luxury is helping to finance necessity and I think that's how it should be. It's good for public health and it's great for society.

    Not even a middle aged guy (I'm 34 but could probably pass for middle aged given how beat up I look lol) but the part where you talk about excuse-making is so true. "I haven't got the time" is the most common one, usually coming out of the other side of a mouth who's just told you about how they're "bored" and "have nothing new to watch on Netflix/play on Playstation" that week etc, or that someone "can't afford to eat healthy" because they spend most of their grocery money on processed garbage and snacks, and/or booze and/or drugs, etc (I mean, I have the odd burger and pizza and smoke a bit of weed/drink beer from time to time* myself but not to the detriment of training haha; these things feel like more of an earned treat in moderation anyway and it makes them far more enjoyable!) Also, the point about consistency is dead on. Some of my friends get fat and then do some drastic keto thing once a year to get rid of it all; they almost always lose muscle and strength doing so when they could have just stuck to a balanced diet to begin with, but they don't wanna hear it haha.
