When it comes to exercise, I feel most pain is weakness leaving the body.

Have you ever noticed that only the out of shape people complain on long runs or a hard workout session? To get into good shape, you must endure a high number on the Suck o Meter.

Pain, I have firmly decided is a state of mind brought on by the general alienity of a particular sensation

Here's a little topic I picked up. Another reason to fear/love redheaded women.

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/pac.../redheadedpain



Redheaded Women Have a Unique Ability

Blondes may have more fun, but redheaded women
have a special quality that is as unique as their hair
color. They have an innate ability to tolerate more pain
than other people.

good example.

but nulli, ever have a baby? not that i've had one, but thats not pain you can shut out, nor is it pain that can be considered weakness.

they say women have a higher pain tolerance than men, so maybe when men shut out the pain, they are achieiving the equal tolerance of a woman

I am a multiple time world champion breaker (ie breaking boards and bricks), and I know for a fact that pain is a state mind. Through mental training, one can shut out any signal that the body is giving it. I have broken many, many times, and at first at hurts, but then you learn how to shut out the pain. Recently I was at a tournament in New Orleans, where I was defending my title. I broke two bricks with my hand, and my hand got stuck between the bottom brick and the top brick. they both were falling, and the bottom brick hit the floor, and then the top brick slammed onto my hand. My entire middle finger was smashed. It was incredibly painful, but, I blocked out the pain, and got my finger bandaged.

I also believe that pain is weakness leaving the body. through physical training, you build up an indurance. I agree with one of the previous posts, that said something along the lines of, "out of shape people are always the ones complaining after doing something physical".

Con: broken face, mom died
Pro: hes banging melinda.

thats 3 forms of pain right there.
