Seems like he was still in great nick and living clean.
Sad end for a guy like that. |

Apparently Joe Biden often called himself Chuck Norris. ;D

Sad he is gone - RIP.
Chuck voted for Biden in 2020, He then voted Trump in 2024, they often find their marbles scrambled near the end. |

You have the option to switch on your brain before monkeying word combinations on your keyboard. Isn't Trump the one that transfers his face onto the body of martial artists and such ? Biden has never made this comparison. You should understand that it isn't manditory to shoot yourself in the foot. |

His marbles were scrambled back in 2016. "Norris was outspoken about his Christian faith and support for gun rights and backed political candidates for years. He endorsed Trump in the 2016 general election and later wrote guest columns praising him ahead of the 2020 and 2024 elections". |

He was a terrible actor, a fake Christian, a gun nut, and a Trump supporter. The world's probably better off without him. Anyone who was praising Trump before the 2024 election isn't worthy of my sympathy. Meh. |

Chuck was a genuine champion martial artist. He probably wasn't as good as Bruce Lee but he was certainly better than anyone else in Movies. |

Title: Re: RIP Chuck Norris Post by Gordon on Mar 21st, 2026 at 3:11pm
Terrible person.
Philanthropy In 1990, Norris established the United Fighting Arts Federation and Kickstart Kids. As a significant part of his philanthropic contributions, the organization was formed to develop self-esteem and focus in at-risk children as a tactic to keep them away from drug-related pressure by training them in martial arts. Norris hoped that by shifting middle school and high school children's focus towards this positive and strengthening endeavor, these children will have the opportunity to build a better future for themselves.[109][217] Norris had a ranch in Navasota, Texas, and a bottled water production facility on that ranch, a portion of the sales support environmental initiatives and Kickstart Kids.[218] He was known for his contributions towards organizations such as Funds for Kids, Veteran's Administration National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans, the United Way, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation in the form of donations as well as fund-raising activities.[109] His time with the U.S. Veterans Administration as a spokesperson was inspired by his experience serving the United States Air Force in Korea. His objective had been to popularize the issues that concern hospitalized war veterans such as pensions and health care. Due to his significant contributions, and continued support, he received the Veteran of the Year award in 2001 at the American Veteran Awards.[109] In India, Norris supported the Vijay Amritraj Foundation, which aims to help victims of disease, tragedy and circumstance. Through his donations, he helped the foundation support Paediatric HIV/AIDS homes in Delhi, a blind school in Karnataka, and a mission that cares for HIV/AIDS-infected adults, as well as mentally ill patients in Cochin.[219] |

If he was ever in jail with Bubba he wouldn't have been so tough. :-[/quote] Competitive fighting career Before Hollywood, he was a serious martial artist: Multiple-time world champion in karate (late 1960s–early 1970s) Undefeated for several years before retiring Known for full-contact competition when it was still developing in the U.S. He fought — and beat — high-level competitors, including: Joe Lewis (early in Lewis’s career) Skipper Mullins Bob Wall 🥊 Training & influence Trained in Tang Soo Do and karate Founded his own system: Chun Kuk Do Opened martial arts schools and trained celebrities 🤝 Connection to Bruce Lee He trained with and was friends with Bruce Lee, who respected his abilities. Norris even fought him (on screen) in Way of the Dragon — a classic fight scene. 🎬 Reality vs meme The internet jokes (“Chuck Norris facts”) exaggerate things massively, but they’re based on a real foundation — he was one of the top American martial artists of his era. Bottom line Not just hype: in his prime, Chuck Norris was a world-class competitive fighter, though not on the same global technical influence level as someone like Bruce Lee. |

I heard that Chuck Norris snotted Pecca down a flight of stairs with his left nostril and had Pecca hit the bottom rolled up sucking himself off.

Infantile? He supported an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon as well as an organisation which doesn't care about children being massacred in school shootings. There's nothing infantile about condemning people like that. It's the responsible thing to do. |

With pleasure, were it not for the men with guns you’d, in all probability, be using a cumbersome Japanese typewriter with over a thousand plus characters and probably speaking Japanese. Count your blessings, blessings which you enjoy because of men like Chuck Norris who weren’t afraid to fight, with guns, for what they believed in. The onus is on you to substantiate your ridiculous claim about the US NRA. |

Who said it’s a bad thing, I can still get by in that language, but don’t act the dill you are intelligent enough to know that without the sacrifice of Australian and Allied forces, with guns, you’d probably be forced to speak Japanese, which with its subtleties of grammar and inflection is deceptively easy, you don’t mention the typewriter, I wonder why? |
