  Nothing is dangerous if you practise discretion and of course patience.

  In that case then the king of exercises would be those practised by the botak guys in any of the Shaolin Temple movies.

  That is when you are on the move but when stationary position doing squats got a spear under waiting to poke your arse. Also hands held out horizontal...you forgot the burning joss sticks

  oh ya! I agree... Horse riding stance is a rather tiring exercise.
  
  Not many people can stay in the stance for more than a minute when done the proper way

  All strongman events can kick your ass-Conan's wheels,vehicle pulling,farmer's walks etc
  
  All Olympic lifts too.

  Ok lets get back to serious talk but a simple exercise with free weights that require lots of mental endurance is good enough to be in the Royal Family of exercises

  Did you see the one on TV where they held the Bhai Olympics in Punjab,India and this big Singh guy could lift farm equipment & heavy stuffs with his teeth and jaws.Which make me wonder what his exercise routine is like or does Whey protein really help?

  Wouldn't doing this accelerate the wearing off of cartllage in your knees?

  Frankly speaking, all the old asses i see at the gym doing squats complain less of aches and pains here and there.

  there are those who don't suffer, perhaps other than the craving for smoke.
  
  I hope you can understand that what you see in front of you may not be necessary true. A person training with bad form for a long time may have a good figure and not been injured before. Does that mean it is good?
  
  What you have said is what you have observed. Sure, both you and I may agree that there's nothing wrong with squatting deeper. However, it is not enough to convince some of the people here by merely stating your observation. Afterall, this forum's direction is to help others by clearing their doubts, while at the same time, influencing others to adopt a healthier lifestyle. The basic thing to do so would be to throw better arguments into their face, not just state what you have observed.

  I suggest you don't comment on something that you don't know anything about.
