A fight is an exchange of blows. There are plenty of ways to physically control someone withouut fighting. What if that person had a knife, and you couldn't get away? An exchange of blows just wouldn't cut it. There are other ways of ending a fight by controlling the attacker.

Yes. There are, but that's not the point. Do you agree that sometimes you have little or no control of whether or not you end up in a fight?

I agree, but 99% of these situations can be walked away from, unless your backs against the wall. Most people fight because people are around, and thats pure egotism

Well, I think 99% is an exaggeration and your previous post said this :

.. Which is basically insulting all who have been in a fight - not because they chose to, but because they were forced to defend themselves. The point of the replies was then "but if you're forced to defend yourself, does that mean you're stupid?" Of course not, so the message of your earlier post should be modified somewhat.


I actually disagree with you, I think if you can fight, you sometimes should. I've thought about when I have kids of my own, I'd hate it if they ended up being pestered in school. Bully kids who prey on the weak are not smart, but they understand someone being able to fight back and maybe even kick their asses. I'm not gonna teach my kids that fighting is good, but I'm definetly gonna teach them to not accept bullies walking all over them and that depending on the situation, they can or even should fight back.

nope, i wrestled in highschool... but thats the closest ive gotten. im a pretty chill guy, so i usually dont have any problems with people.

I agree with all of this.

I had to learn to control my anger a few years back.
It's now very rare for me to snap.
Girls fight like ****ing sissys.
Pull my hair and I'll just do away with you, you deserve it for fighting like a ****ing jessy.

I agree with this. Being an academic person, I definitely try to stick to logic. I am quite a pacifist. On the other hand, however, studying science and truly appreciating what it means to be human also involves embracing certain instincts. Fighting and physicality are just as much part of being human as understanding psychology. More so, in fact. If the world goes to **** and we all have to fend for ourselves, guess who will be on top again? The fittest.

It usually consists of me hitting someone repeatedly and just that, but one guy got back up once....scary moment, luckily some alcoholic i used to know called Wally jumped in and put him to sleep before I got a chance to see if he'd be the one to give me a right pasting. Wally went to jail 2 weeks later for setting another bloke I knows house on fire. He was an odd bloke. He won't be out for a while now.

I don't know about that, it's not really that hard to avoid a fight. I've spent a lot of time hanging out at bars and clubs and whatnot and in my life, and I've managed to avoid fights entirely. Honestly, I think it has as much to do with the attitude you put out there as anything else.

Well that story sure heated up!

No?

I'll get my coat.

Sadly I've have been in a fight. It was one time and it was in elementary school (after school, actually). The guy was messing with my sister and I got tired of it. So, I fought the guy outside and slammed him into the grass.

I never fought again because I hated knowing the fact that I had hurt someone. Of course, if something like that happened again, I'd be ready to defend!

My sisters an animal. I had to be a decent fighter growing up with that psycho. Shes pretty slender, but once she dragged two men out of a taxi, because it was apparently hers. So yeah that's what I had to deal with growing up. We couldn't be more opposite personality wise though.

I've been in tons of fights, throughout primary school and right up to the end of secondary school. Whenever somebody backed me into a corner it was always my natural instinct to come out fighting, even if i was going to get my ass kicked. I ended up in detention after school quite a lot and even got suspended twice. I calmed down a lot in my final year of secondary school and concentrated on studying and stuff.

The last proper fight i was in was nearly 3 years ago. I was standing outside a chipper with a friend one night after a club and two assholes walking by called us long-haired faggots. I responded by punching one of them right in the face. The 2nd guy responded by giving me a bloody nose. Meanwhile while all this was going on my friend just stood there panicking.

I hate friends like that, ****ing no-users.

Never been in a fight strangely.

I wonder how anyone is able to hurt someone intentionally. Even when my brother and I fought, I would just run around the house, waiting for my elder brother to save me.

I was never even able to pronounce curse words. I think the most hurtful thing I said to someone was calling him an "animal". I then continued with explaining my choice of words, saying that "like an animal, you don't try to use civilised words to solve your problems, you just leave it for your instincts".

Ditto. Mine's been known to take out grown men as well. I've heard stories of her jumping a guy and putting a cigarette out on his neck.

But worse than that, she used to pin me down and dangle spit over my face. Unfortunately, I never learned to fight back. I was much better at screaming and crying, which is almost as handy as fighting...

I've been in more fights than I can recall. Most of them happened when I was a little kid. I had a bad temper as a child, and that's how I made most of my friends: I fought them, and then we would become friends.

But the fights I got into as a child I don't really reflect on as being real fights, because I wasn't big enough to inflict any serious damage or be seriously damaged from a schoolyard brawl.

When I got into high school, I drank just about every weekend, and you get enough drunk teenagers in a room together, there will be fights from time to time. I've been jumped, I've lost fights, I've won fights, and I even beat up a steroid freak with my brother one time. Never really hurt anybody seriously, I'm glad to say. But when we were in high school, me and my friends used to beat the **** out of each other just a product of boredom, but also as a means of keeping each other in check; making sure none of us got soft.

I haven't been in a real fight in a long time, and it's not like I'm looking to. I've never looked for a fight, and I never start them. I'll finish them, though.

If you ever went to prison, I just pray to God you don't drop the soap. I love the way you justified your choices of words though, nice little story.

yes i have been in a few the last time i got into one was a month ago.

I call bull

Shush, LiKuIdCoKa.

Oh no you DIN'T

This thread is right up my alley, although I'd feel like a boasting ******* telling stories, as if I dont already. I grew up in the sticks, and thats what you do for fun, then like Vancouver, I grew up playing hockey. Boxed in college and now, I'm a half assed alcoholic with a benzo problem. Maybe I'll take a picture of my hands and let them tell the stories. On a better note, the only scar I have on my pretty face from a fight is getting rocked with a beer bottle from an ex. Tought me not to call a woman a cunt to her face though.

Most of my buddies are pretty down, but after many a drunken night, if I'm going to get into it with someone they will wrap them up and throw out the famous quote 'You really don't want to do this right now.

Thrice

Careful on the benzos :(

damnn . .

[QUOTE=hissundaygirl09.;833732]damnn . the last time i got into a fight because some chick was messing with my bf and i told her to stop and she got in my face . . so i punched her.

and nobody mess with my men friends or family

I've only been in two physical "fights," though they count even less than yours (which sounds like a real fight to me):

FIGHT ONE:
I was around 10 or so and my parents, for some stupid and insane reason, put the family TV in my older brother's room, and he and I ended up fighting over the channel. Our wrestling moved out into the hall, where I bumped into a board that was leaning against the wall (our old house was in a constant state of remodeling, so there were always boards everywhere), and it tipped over onto his head.

My board-bashed brother then went kind of bezerk: he shoved me, shoved me, shoved me into the bathroom and pushed me down into the bathtub, lifting up his fist ready to punch me. I remember lying there thinking in disbelief, "My brother is about to punch me in the face!!" Luckily for me and my face, he stopped himself.

"FIGHT" TWO:
The only other "fight" I've been in was actually...uh...when I was around 23 years old (old enough to know better) and...(sigh)...I punched a boyfriend in the stomach. I was angry with him for some reason and let myself lose it. I don't know who was more surprised, he or I. He was a pretty big guy and I didn't harm him a bit, but I still remember the reproachful, hurt look he gave me, and I immediately apologized (as I should have). Heh heh! I'm only human, I guess. In my defense, I wasn't vegan back then.:D

you should have hit him ni the head with a crook neck squash

If I had had a crook neck squash, I probably would have!

You don't want to mess with vegetarians and their vegetables.:p:

LOL,wow I thought I was the only one. I also think like that.

You mean that your second fight was actually only infact your first punch? Or am I picking this all up wrong :o:?

I saw a really funny one a couple weeks ago. the only thing one kid would do is kick. Never been in one myself though.

I think fightings pretty stupid though and most of the time is due to insecurities. the other half is when people are just plain pissed.

True that, nights always end up either really good or REALLY bad. Last night was an awful mix of both. Good looking out, these ones get me pretty hard.

:( seriously, if you are addicted to them, physically, I really suggest checking yourself into some kind of treatment, with opiates you can kick on your own, but with benzos you can ****ing die

but then u have people who provoke fights

My friends girlfriend started a bar fight with a bikers girl friend last night. There were knives involved... it was ugly.

It should have been a commandment in the bible... "Never start bar fights with biker chicks."

Seriously.

Got in a fight on Friday at a school dance:

Fatso was grindin' up my gf so I socked him in the nuts and hauled ass outta there like a mutha ****ah

i have a golden tongue and a diplomatic mind so i've never had to rely on my fists and feet.


also, punching another dude in the nuts then running away makes you a giant coward. unless i'm totally missing what 'haul ass out of there like a mofo' currently means. really though, what actually got settled?

I realise that it's hard to tell if someone's joking over the internet, but I thought it was pretty obvious.

i've met people who would have been very serious about what you claimed.

it's also why there are smilies :beer:
