I could point out that you brought it up, but what good would it do me? Women, in the US, don't join the martial arts for show. Never have, never will. Martial Arts teachers would never think to say that to them.
What MA cliches wind you up?

I didn't bring up anything about nationality, you did, as you are again. I can't see what the 'for show' has to do with it either.

Americans are less stoic. It is just one of those realties.

You were calling me on so many things at once, you missed what I was referring to, sport Ma.
That's not a very nice thing to say about Americans. I can't see what it has to do with anything either.

Americans Complain, TEZ3. Perhaps you haven't heard.

No I haven't, they may 'complain' if they receive bad service etc but then so does everyone, everywhere as they should. Americans don't whinge about things, they are no less stoical in the face of adversity than anyone else! Americans have gone through bad times and not collapsed complaining.
No, we rally, because we are pissed. It is all part of our lack of stoicism. We show anger, we laugh, we cry, and we fight back, but you can never accuse us of being a bunch of stoics.

You're drunk? ie pissed.
Really, I think I can honestly say you are the most baffling poster I have ever come across.
Folks. One more time I'm going to say this. This thread is about cliches. If you'd like to discuss the definitions of stoic, or slang terms like pissed, please start another thread.

A lot of them aren't as much clichés as used by martial artists but clichés used by non martial artists and wannabes trying to impress, which is why some of them are so wrong.
