Fights...

[Acid]

[size=1][color=firebrick]I almost got in [b]2[/b] fights today. The first one was in P.E. Some new guy named Thatius (or some **** like that) started pushing my friend William. William could have kicked his *** because William could kick almost anyones *** at out school. :p But he was my friend so I felt the need to step in. When I did, Thatius pushed me. So I got up and puched him down in the mud. Then all hell broke loose, puch punch, kick kick. Then all of a sudden Morgan (biggest most popular kid in our school) just slapped Thatius down to the ground.... everybody proceeded to laugh at him. Than as I was walking through the halls my ex-friend john kicked me while he had some cone on his shoe. I picked it up and hit him on his head with it though. :p In short today was a bad day, or a good one. I didn't loose in the fights.

On a side note: I know that Break made a similar topic, but I didn't want to ramble in his thread. If you must, don't close this. Just merge it with his. [/size][/color]

No offense, although I'm sure you might be offended anyway, but nothing shows more stupidity than fighting, whether you were the perpatrater or not.

Wana bet?.. hehe

Well, im not sure what kinda discussion this thread will start, but i'll give it a go..

When it comes to fighitng (this is the thread's theme right?) its best to avoid it at all costs....you avoided fighting right?

Well...i guess you did avoid fights... im proud of ya son :) lol.

I'm not one for fights. I'm a very non-confrontational person. I'm more passive-aggressive than agressive. It's never happened before (because I have no enemies), but I'd be willing to go Cyrano DeBergerac(sp?) on somebody! That means insulting and beating somebody at the same time ;)

Anyway, I avoid fights at all times, but that doesn't mean all people should avoid fights. Sometimes you just gotta back-up your friends when somebody is trying to make trouble, like you did.

[color=red]I hate fighting, mainly because I'm simply not built for it. Plus, it's almost certain to happen in a public place...too many innocent people around to get hurt in the process. If you've got to fight, make sure it's a cause you believe in: protect a loved one, save a life...don't do it just because they hit you first.

I also hate fighting.

I think its important to mention that the guy who taught me one of the hardest lessons in all my life, didnt hate fighting.

Infact, he loved it, gave me a black eye.

Whats truly the worst part is that during the fight, while we wrestled each other to the ground, I had a good 20 seconds to grad, punch, man-handle, deform, mual...etc., homeboys nuts.

I didnt take advantage because I thought it wouldnt be proper, I thought it was wrong.

After living with a black eye for the next 2 weeks (it really was a bad one) I realized there is nothing wrong with fighting cheap and doing what it takes to win, no matter what.

I know you didnt bring up that subject, but this is a reminder for every guy who thinks that they should be descent in their conflicts.

Remember this, you will lose.

Fight dirty, you will win.

It's worth it.

Would you not fight back? Or would you just let them beat you into a bloody pulp?[/size][/color]

[Kent]

Actually nothing shows intelligence more than knowing when to fight.

dying for nothing is just that, nothing.

being "beat down" for nothing, is worth nothing.

I hope you are never confronted with violent problems, trans nerve.

Just try and remember the words of android 16, (I know its a cartoon, its just a simple answer to an ancient question, why fight?)

" there are those who words alone will not reach."

there are time when all that can be done is fight.

what do you think the police do for all the people who woulnt or cant do it for themselves?

[Phantom]

The police are an infrastructure that is based to maintain and uphold the practical application of law. They are not made to fight weak people's battle against assholes. They, simply put, protect the basic human rights and verdict the logical law into a physical medium... Police are just civil servants with much more risk than average. Nothing more, nothing less.

This has happened to me as well, I had like 3-5 people on me and I could have beat the living hell out of all of them but I don't like fighting and I knew them all. However, if it ever happened again, I would just stand up for myself and just start throwing punches. For not fighting, and easily being taken advantage of, I am considered a weakling by many, but I am on the verge, and even though I haven't seen these topics until now, I have been contemplating this for the past few days. I am on the verge of just walking up and beating the living hell out of all of these people that I know, but something's holding me back.

[Kent]

Mystic's knight, exactly.

nothing more nothing less.

"protect basic human rights."

dont you think acids human rights were violated?

And plus the point is that the police are supposed to protect those who cant protect themselves.

[Narius]

I don't believe anyone who says they get in fights, don't ask me why, but in my experience their just trying to show off and its annoying.

The intelligent person wouldn't put themselves in that position to begin with. I've never been in a fight, nor have I been put in a position like that. I know when to walk away, I know when to shut up, and I know that I don't have to use physical violence to proove any point to anybody.

[Mnemolth]

Obviously you've never seen Fight Club. :D

I never understood this point, you don't have to punch a guy in the face sure. You technically don't have to do alot of things. You don't have to argue with him in the first place, you don't have to retaliate when he goes after you, you don't have to run away. Its what you decide to do, Fighting is people's way of showing their dominance over the situation. Unless they are simply sadistic and like bloody faces, other than that its generally to make sure people have a certain view point of them. Then you can argue that there is no reason to conform to their opinions, but by not conforming to that ideal, you conform to another one because there is no original idea anymore, and when you get an original idea before you even utter a word about it is stolen in every possible way. So one way or the other fighting is not "Stupid" its some peoples perception of what to do, your perception is to decide whether to walk away or not, thats not what alot of people will do. Its not because their stupid, its because thats what they've learned to do.

[I][COLOR=blue]Our school's seems to be having many a fight as well. Two people are just stand there, then all of a sudden they go into an all out brawl, then run away ten seconds later. It's crazy.

I just walk away from stupid idiots who try to show off to everybody how strong they are. Even if I do get hit I just keep on walking, which really annoys them because they think they have no authority over anyone. Try it, it works.[/I][/COLOR]

That movie sums me up totally. Fighting is great--The total rush, the adrenaline, the smell, the taste... Sadly, I don't get to fight much, as much as I'd like to. I might start a Fight Club of my own.

[Semjaza]

A fight club is honestly something I'd go in on. The idea of it interests me, especially the fact that there is no actual hatred between the two fighters. It's just right out fighting. I'm sure anyone that has fought enough can tell you fighting is somehow a really good release, and I've never minded the pain. All of my fights have been in self defense though haha, and I'm not a remotely outwardly violent person.

As for fighting at like school or whatever... I totally avoid it. I'm an extremely patient person (moreso offline), and I deal with a lot of the crap I get with people. Generally I get along with nearly everyone, so there is little fight worthy things to speak of.

There are times where there is nearly no other choice. Some people just don't listen without force, and while I'd like to think otherwise, it's just how it is. I've never gotten to the point where I'd beat someone's face in, but I've done enough for them to get the point. You can only talk and walk away for so long. I don't think intelligence has a lot to do with it when it gets to that point.

No matter how "smart" you are, you can wind up in a situation where there is no other way out. I've seen it countless times, and I've been involved in some of those situations myself once or twice. Some people just pick out a person to treat like ****, no amount of talking is going to change their minds.

Actually I have there sparky... As far as fight club is concerned, hey thats your own entertainment. If you wanna get your a$s kicked because you find it amusing, please go ahead. I bet you won't find it much amusing when you end up in the hospital with a broken back or a crushed skull. But whatever, your life

Fighting is stupid. There's no point in it. It just says you're too f-ing stupid to try to dispute your petty difference through debate and talking (or even simply ignoring someone) and that you have to use your brawns over brains. And Self defense for those of you who think thats fighting, it's not. Self defense is DEFENDING. You block attacks, reverse attacks. You use the momentum and movements of the attacker in a way to get an advantage over him/her. If you think self defense is punching the guy before he hits you, you are sadly mistaken. You think if I went around hitting all you people in the face because I disagree with you, that it would be ok because fighting is ok. Right...

fight club was a great movie....of course, i never want to take part in anything like that, but..

i hate fighting. i do kung fu for peace of mind, and tai chi as well(which helps in fighting), but fighting like that is..uggh, i dunno. i CAN kick someone's ***, but i normally refuse to, unless they seriously PISS ME OFF. but really, i wont take vengeance or anything. if someone attacks, me, i have no choice, which sucks cause the school can punish you for fighting back. WHAT DO THEY EXPECT US TO DO, LET THEM KNOCK US OUT WHEN WE CAN DEFEND MYSELF AND NOT GET HURT? i mean, goddam...

in health class yesterday, these two kids sharif and brian were just sitting there in the auditorium before we started this movie, and i guess sharif was talking, brian told him to shut up, and brian stood up and turned around as he did this, and sharif pushed brian, brian pushed sharif, sharif pushed brian, and then brian leaned on his seat and leaned over and started punching sharif, but only 3 or 4 times. so sharif calmly got up(brian was sitting right next to me, btw), walked out and walked to brian, and started punchuing the **** out of him. by the 5th punch, our teacher had come out. they both got in school suspensions, but athe final move was sharif knocking brians head with his hand, so i guess he "won"....i really hate fighting...oy

[b]I know most disagree, and some may not believe me, but I love to fight. I don't outwardly pick fights with people, but if someone decides to start hitting me etc. I'll go berserk and make them wish they had picked on the guy they saw earlier.

I can take hits pretty well, and the more you hit me the more you make me angry, to a point where I may take it a little too far for my own liking.

What I'm saying is, if someone was to annoy me [i]that much[/i], I would probably break one of their bones out of pure anger. I have been known for my frankly insane temper over the years and it has been terribly hard to control. I used to start a fight if someone decided to make a joke out of me.. Now it's a little more controlled and I let it go when I get into a fight.

A fight club would be a ton of fun... the pure adrenaline of a fight does it for me :)[/b]

Trans nerve, my question for you is... what do you do, when you are the smart one who will debate, but some other jerk wants to beat you silly because he cant do what an intelligent person can?

do you just let him beat you down?

[vegeta rocker]

This may sound corny but im big on honor. I don't get angry a lot because when i do i can't control it. I try to talk out everything i can. Since i know if i do get angry all hell will break loose.

And if i was backed into a corner i would take as much as i could.

Ever made a dumb person think? It really takes alot of time.

Besides that point, I don't put myself in positions like that. I've never gotten in a fight because I've never had any enemies. People don't have a reason to hate me or dislike me.
