When I was younger. A friend who had been in trouble with the law. Was sent to prison. He wrote another friends sister regularly. This was how I kept up with him.

He gets locked up and this big guy who was gay told him he was going to make him his bitch. At the time my buddy was only about 120. This guy he said was twice as big as he was.

After this guy made this threat several times. My buddy watched this guy go in to take a crap as he did every day. My buddy took his pillow case. Put several cans of pop in it. Ran in quickly and immediately began to kick the fat homosexual's butt. Afterwards telling him he would be no man's bitch.

I think he did the right thing. It's called 'taken it to em'. Don't set an wait to become the victim. He didn't and saved his ass. :oops: Literally! :lol:

I really can't find fault with what he did either.

EDIT: this is a true story!
Peace out!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rogerhb', 'I')t's the "Fight me, you pussy!" T-shirt he wears. :-D


:lol:
Bars are good places to get into fights. Lots of scotch courage flowing, and lots of guys looking to impress the "catch of the night" with their masculinity and physical prowess.
Most of the trouble I ever got into was in bars, however a word to the wise usually averted trouble, and when it didn't...well I'm a light weight, 6', 200lb, up to about 240 when I used to ironwork, (not weights, putting up structural steel) but I'm a lot stronger and faster than most people expect, and when I have had to fight I always treat it as though losing means dying... because it just might.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('auctionmonster', ' ')it is never ethical to start a fight or to hurt another human being.


Maybe not, but ethical or no, I personally would have to FINISH the fight in a very not nice way; hint, my eyes are bad, I'm nearly deaf in one ear, my knee is missing ALL the ligaments and menisci and my arms, hands and wrists tend to flame out & lock up these days from all the tile work, plumbing and carpentry I do, soooooooooo, given the deplorable state of my carcass, I'll let my index fingers do the talking while the tongue stays silent. Chop-sockey and sprinting away are not an option for some of us.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('auctionmonster', '
')In the event of someone trying to start a fight with you, their are more than one way to escape. In a situation like that, if you can, run away. Unless you are Bruce Lee, you pretty much have no chance of winning that confrontation "3-4 on 1". In that situation fleeing is the better part of valour.

Even Ghandi said ... It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.


I'm so easy-going these days that I don't even pack heat anymore and I stay out of bars, if for no other reason then everybody always makes me their designated driver :( . Once I ran into some gang-bangers (LA area Crips) behind one of my apartment buildings- I helped them get their car fixed. It created good will that lasted until I sold that building and was a damn sight better than having to go to jail for shooting three of them. Still, I keep my ears to the socioeconomic ground and when the nights get longer and hotter, then I'll shift gears and go back to the way it was in the early 90s in LA. Trouble has found innocent people before and it will find them again.

I like the way rattlesnakes operate. They let you know who they are only when you're practically about to step on one, otherwise they studiously mind their own business, even when they're slithering behind your sofa or in the laundry room. Start a fight with the wrong person and get a bullet or three in the head at point blank range. Rattlesnakes don't start fights either but they can sure finish them.

The only way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!

I believe in each of your examples...it would be immoral and unethical to NOT respond! A non-response to such violence is telling the person that what they are doing is ok.

In each example given, i think a quick, decisive, go for the jugular action is required/demanded!

Kick the shit out of them in every instance but the last. Run if you can in that one. If not, pick up a weapon and don't stop until you hear bones crack. If you can't do that, fight as hard as you can so you can hopefully hurt them on your way down.

What's the controversy? :?
The U.S. is the only country in the world that encourages people to drive themselves to work in Army vehicles.
