    Really? How would you know? Tell me, if you know better. What do we do? Arguing on yet another subject about which you know nothing?


    because if you had any idea about what you were about to do, you'd know it's Jiu-Jitsu

    now bore off

    that ...

    When you have finished explaining to us about Jiu Jitsu, I would still like to see some evidence that suitcases are being stolen, as you have claimed.
    You are desperately trying to deflect this simple request, by resorting to crass abuse.

    Calling you childish and stupid would not be abuse. it would be the simple truth.

    you do realise that Jiu Jitsu isn't a board game and you don't play it?

    Err, actually it's quite common to refer to somone as a "Jiu Jitsu Player" or "Judo Player" and thus to say you're going to "play" is fairly reasonable...

    no, we've established i've given you proof that suitcases get stolen and you simply have no answer.

    Please try and point out the crass abuse, i could do with a laugh.

    or you could just p!ss off trolling somebody's thread.

    probably, but he's just a moron so i'm responding on his level.

    No, you posted one example that took place in 2005 and another in 2008. Both that you found using Google and both took place in the USA.

    If you want to be helpful to the OP, post some recent and relevant evidence.
    What's the problem?

    Weary as I am of arguing with a clear expert...it's Jiu-Jitsu, OR Jiu Jitsu, OR JuJitsu, OR JiuJitsu, OR Ju Jitsu OR sometimes just referred to as "Jitsu" - although this has died out in recent years since "Jitsu" is now recognised as a sport in its own right. It depends who you ask.

    They're not English words, so to heckle about the spelling, or worse punctuation, of the thing is a complete nonsense. I appreciate that stilltheone is annoying and all, but just sticking stuff into google and hoping to find something to use against him is a little childish.

    Sad and embarrassing... Is this how you raise your post count? By posting endless rubbish?

    Seriously I have great respect for anyone who has a good argument. But yours is just rubbish. Resorting to abuse when you have no argument is just pathetic.

    Anyway, the OP has some good information from which to work. Dirty laundry may be good idea for some. But since my cleaners tidy up my dirty laundry, it wouldn't work for me.

    To try to rubbish the idea of a good quality, securely locked, suitcase without any evidence against it, seems a bit strange. Smacks of someone who just likes to argue, rather than someone who actually believes in the argument they present.

    Anyway, I'm out.
