Most of the time I think this place is full of shit, but I have to say most of your BAMs are fantastic picks. And this, well Phrost, is fucking fantastic. My hats off to you.
swing from them
There’s room for everyone; come on board.
[quote=maglut;2224798]Awesome story.
Kudos to whoever thought to give this guy a mention. I had never heard of him until this article, and I feel better for knowing it now.
It’s reaffirming to hear from martial artists that recognize other aspects of a human being than fighting prowess.[/quote]
The thing is, Borlaug was many things, like all fightes are. He was a top tier fighter (wrester) and he credits the tenacity of wrestling in enabling him to focus at his other accomplishments in life. Which as you looked at his bio, were huge. Every time Borlaug walked into a boardroom, a palace, funding agencies, ect. he knew he could beat most if not all of them in a fight…and that made a huge difference in his confidence.
I love that your reading comprehension is such shit that you think I’m riding Phrosts nuts.

I knew about his agricultural accomplishments, but until now I didn’t know about his wrestling background.
Great choice for BotM.
Norman Borlaug as Badass of the month…
I approve 1000%

Agreed. I feel so terrible that like many of the people that have responded to this: Penn and Teller was the first time I had actually heard his name.
About a week before he passed away, I checked around wikipedia randomly and found his article. Previously I tried looking for more info on his background but I had no luck. I read the entire article, and I was greatly impressed with his work. I didn’t know he was a wrestler either, and I thought “He’s more awesome then I thought !” lol
I’m really sad to see him go. I was the first and only person on one of the forums I frequent (For chubby chasers Snort) to make a thread saying goodbye. Sadly I only got one reply, but I’m really happy to see this here.
Thanks for making him the badass of the month, and for this post Phrost. Hats off to you.
How many mechanical engineers go to the middle of Africa to test out their prosthetics on millions of children? How many bio engineers go to the middle of china to spread some kind of vaccine for common sicknesses?
There is the difference.
[quote=chubbychaser;2221778]first off, fuck you
second, insinuating i’m a racist shows your maturity level and ablility to develop a rational position on this subject
and third, fuck you
this man accomplished nothing except to prolong the enevitable. you could say that by preventing the deaths of a billion he caused the suffering of a trillion.
and what does any of this have to do with bullshido? have you forgoten why you started this site? pull your head out of your ass.[/quote]

Martially Borlaug was a badass. He wrestled and made it to the Big 10. That is a huge accomplishment. What the fuck have you done in your martial arts? you think you’re some fucking unique Tyler Durden? Fuck you, you piece of shit. I hope your mom gets raped. You’re just like every other useless piece of shit on this forum. You’re full of shit, you have some obscure skewed position that you can’t really defend and you have done nothing of note that allows you to have any authority on anything, but are so adamant that you do. Fuck your mom. Fuck you. I want to see your mom get gangraped by a bunch of brown folk.
I am undoubtedly the most openly racists fuck on this forum, you piece of shit, and even I can tell you that through distribution of food and what Borlaug has accomplished, we can live in a better world. Overpopulation is not the issue, suffering is the issue. Nobody should have to needlessly suffer.
I would want nothing more than to fuck you in the ass right now while stuffing your mouth with corn and bread while screaming, “NOW DO YOU LOVE NORMAN BORLAUG?! DO YOU!? WHERE’S YOUR FUCKING EUGENICS NOW?”
You’re such a fucking piss poor troll. Do you even know how difficult it is for me to post without making a point? You’re barely even putting an argument together.
Norman Borlaug saved the world.
He is a credit to team.

Oh thank you Louis CK.
Thank you for stealing that from Louis CK. Did you somehow think that of the millions of Louis CK fans, that there weren’t going to be a bunch of them on this forum?
Nice try on your attempts at being “unique” with your counter culture views. Nobody gives a shit.
You’re wrong.
I’m right.
Thank you.

awe daddy doesnt love you

I had never heard of this guy before, and as to whether he is badass of the month or not…meh. however, the suggestion earlier on that he made a mistake because he saw a problem that he had the necessary skills and knowledge to at least attempt to remedy, stepped up to the plate, and did nothing about any of the other problems of the world (well ok, populaton control problems), is crazy.
how many people who are renowned for making a difference do so in a multitide of areas.
surely the man’s accomplishments should stand for what they are, not fall on the reasoning that he didnt do enough
Excellent selection for BotM.
Feeding of the 5000? Pfft. Jesus was shit compared to Bourlag.
Chubbychaser can you tell us why it is a bad thing Norman Borlaug struggled to feed those suffering of famine?
Pshhha… well just wait until Gene Lebell cures cancer… by choking people.
It’s amazing to believe that a billion people would have died if it hadn’t been for Normal Borlaug’s actions. And given the Nobel Prize committee’s credibility after giving a similar award to Obama just for running his mouth non-stop, I’m not sure I do!
Yep, calling Borlaug a “badass” is like giving the nobel peace prize to Dan Severn.
