What? Did the dewd criticize King OBama? (Kiefer is a Lib)

May I ask a question? Why do men headbutt? Wouldn’t punching a person hurt a lot less?

[magritte]

Punching somebody is not nearly as easy as it looks on tv...really easy to break a bone in your hand...magritte

???

I'm not sure, but I think you answered your own question.

[RexBeach]

“You know I can make you talk!”

[TSgt]

In case anyone forgot what she looked like...

Jack Bauer has turned into a weenie on the show just like the actor that portrays him. Little Kiefer apparently had a hissy slap fight with the women’s clothing designer.

New York's Daily News reports that Proenza Schouler women's wear designer Jack McCollough

Oooh, sounds like one tough customer.

"May I ask a question? Why do men headbutt?"

Usually to break a hold. Either because your hands are busy immobilizing his, or he has your hands immobilized. Its a great way to break a hold. The front of the cranium is very strong, drive it into your opponents nose and he will let go, step back and give you a chance to reposition.

Also if you break a person's nose their eyes teer up and swell shut. Escaping from, or beating up depending on your intentions, a blind opponent is a lot easier than one who can see you.

Did “Jack” need training on how to properly headbutt a person?

[Two Kids' Dad]

I agree with what #29 said, a hard big bone like the forehead going up against a smaller bone like a nose or cheekbone is like a full-size pickup colliding with a Prius. The pickup will fare much better every time.

[McGruff]

I'd love to headbutt you but it would probably be an improvement!

[Grim]

Another case of a movie star breaking the law and the idiots in the peanut gallery cheer. Assault, like this, is never justified unless its self defense. Doesn’t sound like it. You or me would get hauled to the pokey.

[Chi-townChief]

You just don’t f*** with Jack Bauer!!!

[pelicandriver]

A case of life imitating art!

Knocking Brooke Shields over would be quite an undertaking. Once, back in the ‘80s, I was in a popular nightclub in D.C. when I found myself standing beside Ms. Shields and two Eurotrash companions. I'm six foot, but she seemed to tower over me, and her legs, in a pair of black leggings, looked like the trunks of two trees. That was one solidly built woman.

No, punching someone in the face can really, really hurt. It' easy to break your fingers -- that's why boxers wear gloves.

Second, it's much less expected, and much faster than a punch, thus much harder to defend against. You can really rock someone's world with a solid headbutt to the nose.

[Eagle Eye]

Because we can.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Okay. Than makes sense. Better to get away. But does your forehead wind up with a “goose-egg?”
