  Let me quote an example. We only use the fire-extinguisher when there is a fire. You do not see anyone using the fire-extinguisher for no reason right??? Tio bo???
  
  Now do you get it???

  Hmm, its not that he did not get it. Its rather that whether the fella who learn martial arts learn it to defend himself? Some might be tempted to beat the hell out of another guy cause he learn martial arts. It's like abusing his ability to fight.
  
  And yes, the true purpose of learning martial arts is to strengthen their physique and endurance and all that stuff.
  
  Somehow, i dont find the analogy of fire-extinguisher feasible.Why not rather say the purpose of food is to eat and not thrown around?

  I suppose you love "Battle Royale"~~~

  I prefer "The Punisher"! He does a good job getting rid of hardcore criminals! He's not like Batman or the other Marvel/DC heroes who risk their life to save the criminals den send them to jail! Then they kana attack when the Villians escape from prison!(just look at Batman n the Joker). The Punisher? He kills the baddie on the spot! He's my favourite non-superpowered ang mor comic hero !
