**Karpo_007** · 01-26-2003, 08:33 PM

Well it got cencored, Nunhcukus were too violent so they changed it to grapling hook...

darthsmozers · 01-26-2003, 09:00 PM

so nunchuks were deemed more violent than swords and sais? LOL

I think a grapling hook is worse than nunchuks. You could bash someones skull in with a grapling hook.

You could do the same with a nunchuck.

A grapling hook is made of metal, and I guess a nunchuk is made of wood. Which would hurt worse if you took a blow to the head?

**Kali** · 01-26-2003, 10:06 PM

There are metal nunchuks. It would also depend on how fast they were moving, and whether you got hit by one of the hooks of the grappling hook.

If you got hit the head with a solid metal grapling hook you would either die or be put into a coma and eventually die. It wouldn't matter about the hooks. I guess the same thing would apply to metal nunchuks if they were wielded with a great amount of force.

Not necessarily. People have survived worse than that. Easily.

darthsmozers · 01-26-2003, 10:17 PM

Hmm, just seems odd blades and drills and rockets and lasers weren't banned, but simple nunchuks were? How desperate...

*That Matt Guy* · 01-26-2003, 10:18 PM

Maybe you should look at what a real grappling hook looks like: http://www.museumofworldwarii.com/im...0equip_lge.jpg

More than likely if someone smashed that into your head, you would die.

Nunchucks violent? Give me a break!

Don't these people have anything better to do than complain about this stuff? Man...

*Deathknight* · 01-26-2003, 11:12 PM

They were considered too violent in the UK I know that... but I really hate parents who whine about everything. I mean, can't they just get a life.

**Karpo_007** · 01-27-2003, 02:39 AM

Well thst show was changed in states, So someone did think they weren't suitable for kids cartoon. Well I don't think we have to worry about anything like that happening again.

Well, yeah, if that hit you in the head! But ninja grappling and climbing hooks are much smaller, lighter, and often collapsible.

With the nunchuk issue. When you think about it, nunchuks are probably the most dangerous weapon because they are so unpredictable and hard to control. Beginners learning the weapon get a lot of bruises before even beginning to master it. So kids trying to copy the moves, even with a pair or socks, could easily hit themselves in the eye or break something. I'm not saying the other weapons aren't dangerous, all weapons are dangerous.

Hey I remember people in middle school warning us kids not to go around carrying nunchucks as opposed to knives.

Why?

*Jephael* · 01-27-2003, 03:37 PM

It was in their weopens policy. Kids couldn't even wear chains on their pants.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-27-2003, 03:41 PM

My school had that chain thing, but I already thought people who had those looked like idiots.
