first of all i am quite confident that i am a "nice guy". i do not try to get providers to do what they don't want to do. neither do i intrude into areas of their life without invitation. so i would be quite confident that any _sane_ and not self destructive or delusional provider would not have any reason to exercise her lethal skills on me. so out of your 200 ninja providers let us say that leaves 1-2 who might be so demented or too self destructive to think straight. so those odds aren't so bad.

OK so say by dumb misfortune i would book the 1 or 2 who would completely misunderstand my persona and character. still, i would have no fear. i've been in a few scrapes, i've been shot at 2-3 times, there have been a few attempted muggings and even some duellos with male martial artists who mistakenly thought that the martial art i practice is for pansies.

i always came out standing and my opponent has always fled or wound up prostrate and submissive.

even in poor health, out of shape, out of practice as i am.... somehow i always manage to be the last man standing. i'm damned good in a real crisis. it's a fact, not a brag. so i fear nothing. there will always be that last encounter where you don't get up... but as far as i know, none of us gets out of this life alive. so it's all good.

I get the chance of fucking Ziva David???


Oh Hell yes, I would be much more likely to indulge.

Johngaltnh, I don't think such a program is even possible, but I am in the mood for some fiction. So, I will answer your questions.

"Would this situation alter your hobbying in any way?"
    If they where all "very psychologically stable and trustworthy women", which is highly unlikely, I still would not believe it. I would still hobby as I would view it like the lady potentially being armed which is already potentially

"Do you believe this would be a deterrent to potential malefactors?"
    Yes it would deter some potential malefactors. It would in no way deter some of them though.

'Would you feel better or worse knowing that this situation prevailed?'
    I would feel better as it would deter some that could potentially hurt my wife.

"do you think it would "up the ante" such that miscreants would come prepared to exercise a higher level of violence (i.e. use a gun instead of bare hands or a knife) by default?"
    Those who are not deterred would have to "up the anti" and become just as lethal or even more lethal than the ninja providers, or else they would wind up dead. It would be like any other arms race. But the bad guys already are sometimes lethal now so with many would be bad guys deterred. I don't think the program would reduce provider deaths but it would reduce provider rapes.

Now I answered those questions I will state it is not possible to keep provider ninjas both public enough that it would work as a deterrent and keep who all of them are a secret for long. As soon as they used there skills they would likely be outed, if the killings where to be used as a deterrent to other potential malefactors.

Also it would be highly unlikely that all of any group would be very "psychologically stable and trustworthy" and stay that way. Violence changes people. It hardens them. Just like cops and soldiers often develop mental issues after being being put extreme violent situations.

Add all the stuff you put at the bottom of your post and it is plain it is a bad idea and not really possible. Fun, but you might have talked about robot providers with lethal tits.

if the supposition was that a)there was no way to know which 20 providers has developed the skills and b) the 'near mythological' level of skill meant they were masters of Dim Mak.

Regardless of every other factor supposed, I could not bring myself to be in such intimate physical contact with such a person.

Talk about 'unsafe sex'!!!!



HalfHour

hobbying close to home and would still travel to the Atl or Nashville.

I knew could snap me in half had they the mind to.

To tell you the truth, it's a bit of a turn on thinking about it.

They also possessed the strong mental stamina necessary for such a thing.

I'm glad that there are providers out their who have few worries about handling someone who gets out of hand.  Would it be that all could.

I was kinda hoping this would be a post about the new Ninja Cowgirl position, or Ninja blowjobs.

Actually, I found this to be kinda dumb. As one who seems to understand human nature I would have thought this would have been asked and answered before it even hit your conscious brain.

Guys with a psychological predisposition to do violence toward someone at random (i.e. unprovoked) are not at all likely to be bothered by this at best. At worst, they would pack bigger guns and do more damage than they might under "normal circumstances".

The folks who would be most deterred are the ones least likely to perform random acts of violence. This is like locking your car. It only deters the casual theft. Not someone intent on taking the car or something inside it.

That said, I do believe that all ladies should have a modicum of self-defense training to use when needed with the average joe (and never disclose this). What to do when  the level of violence escalates is an individual case-by-case thing, so I leave that one alone.

Who would they kill?  Hobbyists?  Bank robbers?  Or no one?

I don't understand your question.  Are these super-hero providers that are going to clean up Gotham (sexy!) or Russian-roulette providers that might kill you before a BBBJ (scary!)?

You have such a vivid imagination...lol.
