Steel Accord 6,660 February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 I was feeling especially cynical at the time I wrote the part about people not helping one another other than if they profit. As for Tyler Durden, you should know the first and second rules about that place, never talk about it. Ha! I was trying to avoid breaking the first and second rule by "talking about" it's founder rather than the place!

Fighting solves nothing! Quitting isn't so productive either. Desperate times call for desperate measures. At best, fighting is a holding pattern for the issue to be truly resolved later. Sometimes though, you need to buy yourself that time.

swordsman 192 February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 This problem is only limited to the Florida public education system. Once your free of its clutches, the state is actually very good at recognizing your right to self-defense. If the dream defenders get there way it would go back to how in was in the 80's here were you had to flee 1st before you had the right to self-defense. I think it's funny how many people said fighting is stupid and unnecessary. Only fools go out looking for a fight . "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." Ghandi 1 why do you work for Queen Chrysalis?

09thRoad 104 February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 I've only ever been in one fight in my life, thankfully, and it was during my junior year of high school. During gym, I pegged a kid in the face with a playground ball on accident. Apparently he didn't take too kindly to it because in the locker room after class he tried to start something. Now, I was the starting center of our school's varsity football team, meaning I was a pretty big dude. I had at least 100 lbs on this kid. I wasn't going to indulge him...until he made the dire mistake of throwing the first punch. Now growing up, my father always told me something along the lines of "Son, you should never start a fight...but you better damn well make sure you finish one." That philosophy must have been hard coded into my genetics because before I knew what was happening I had broken his nose with a single punch. And then the fight was over. He went to the nurse and I went about my day as usual. Neither of us were reprimanded because no one in the locker room ever spoke of that incident. So yeah...that happened. 1 Ain't much I can do but I do what I can, But I'm not a fool there's no need to pretend And just because you got yourself in some shi-, It doesn't mean I have to come deal with it You handle your own when you become a man, And become a man when you handle your own Ain't much I can do, but I do what I can, But what can I do if I do till it's gone?

Maze 100 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 (edited) Violence is a reality. Shouldn't? Yes. Should we try to minimize it? Yes. One can't though, participate in life itself without accepting it's dangers. (You're also right in that "fight" is vague at best. "Physical conflict with the intent to harm on the part of at least one combatant" is how I've been viewing it.) Violence is a reality, yes indeed. I wish it wouldn't need to be. I'm one of those people who keeps hoping for a bright future without any violence, war or fights. I'm down to earth though, so I understand that such a bright and peaceful future most likely will never come to be. Especially not among humans, I'll never understand some people and why they abuse, rape, torture without a care in the world that it might be horribly wrong. I definitely accept life's dangers. I just wish people would stop trying to solve things with violence, 'cause it will never solve anything at all. Perhaps if you need it to protect something, someone or yourself, as in self-defense. That's just a natural reaction for a living being. I just wish people wouldn't steal or use violence on anyone to begin with, it would make things so much easier. However, the world is not fair and there will always be a misbalance somewhere in the world. It's just how it is; it's the harsh reality. I'll always despise that fact and run off to my fantasy about peace in the world whenever I get the chance to. I'll keep wishing and hoping for peace among everyone. That's also why I adore the song "Imagine" by John Lennon so much. If you think about it for a while.. It sure would be something.

Taviscratch 453 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 I've been in a bunch. One time this guy was bullying a mate so I pinned him to a picnic table and punched him in the jaw. Another time a guy was itching for a fight and attempted to intimidate me by saying that he was a black belt in karate so I headbutted him in the nose (this was before I wore glasses) with my hands still in my pockets before he could attack me. I punched a guy in the street because he was being a dick. He's a guitarist in a shitty local band and he'd pissed me off before. I see him in my local city centre selling EPs from a folding table. A girl was asking him about what sort of music his band played and he said "its death and thrash metal" and she was like "oh, I'm not really into that sort of stuff". He starts berating her and insulting her music tastes which pissed me off so I floored him with a punch to the nose, pulled the girl away and told her not to put up with arseholes like him. I've seen the guy a couple of times since and he seems to have repressed the event I've also had various instances of me and my mates throwing punches at each other when we've had disagreements but everything is good after. Forgot one: the very first day of uni saw my whole flat (my entire block, really) going to a nightclub in the city centre. I have never been a fan of clubs and this night was no different. I stayed a while and then started to walk back to the flat. On the way some 40 something crack-head comes up to me and starts shouting incoherently at me. I can't understand a word he's saying but he takes a swing at me and misses my nose by an inch. I punch him in the face and he drops like a sack of bricks. I really hurt my hand but I had the presence of mind to quote Firefly: "They say never to hit a man with a closed fist but it is, on occasion, hilarious". I felt like such a badass but it was a shame nobody was around to witness it. My hand was fucked up for a fortnight afterwards though. 2 Sig by [member=~TheGammy~] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those people who keeps hoping for a bright future without any violence, war or fights. I'm down to earth though, so I understand that such a bright and peaceful future most likely will never come to be. Not in our lifetime, but I'm skeptical that it will never happen. At least nations will cease to war with one another. Violence will at least be scaled back to the point that violent interpersonal conflict will be more common than large scale mass fighting. Especially not among humans Uhhhhhh why? Do you know of another existing sentient species? One that does not wage war? I can name two non-sentient species that also engage in war, for instance, and none that strive for peace. Many humans, on the other hand, long for and work for peace. I'll never understand some people and why they abuse, rape, torture without a care in the world that it might be horribly wrong. Evil exists, unfortunately. The price of understanding morality is that we experience both sides of it. I definitely accept life's dangers.

I hope and pray for such a time to. I don't restrict it to my fantasies though as I have faith that it's completely possible.

SCS 7,537 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I haven't been in a real fight with anyone yet, but I've come close a few times. I've thrown and taken a few punches, shoves, kicks, and so on that didn't escalate into a genuine fight. I also launched someone into the air once who almost drowned me, probably without realizing what he was doing, when I was a little kid. Yeah, I got an adrenaline rush that day, and that's the physical explanation. But on a spiritual level, I still believe God or someone else out there saved me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fender 1,283 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I was bullied very much for the first half of my 7th grade year. I started by not fighting back so it was mostly me being beat up. Things built up, though. Eventually I started fighting back. I fought hard, won some, lost some. By the end of it I had almost killed two people. Avoid fighting if you can, kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash In 22,502 January 13, 2019 Share January 13, 2019 I've been in one, though I regret partaking in it. Then again, I don't think there was any other way of resolving the situation.

Dreambiscuit 10,094 January 13, 2019 Share January 13, 2019 I haven't been in an actual physical fight since I was much younger, and then it was just a girly slap-fight sort of thing with no real injuries caused. I'm not very big or strong so partaking in a real slug-fest wouldn't be advisable unless I want to lose a few of my pearly-whites. I prefer to strike down my enemies with my staggering wit and skills in the art of the insult. Then I run away if someone gets mad and comes after me. I do believe there is a time and place to fight though (for other people, not me of course). Sometimes it's better to fight (and even lose) than to let someone else have a free hand with their nastiness. I think some kinds of physical injury are better than holding in all that emotional poisoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeglow Flicker 13,865 January 13, 2019 Share January 13, 2019 A stern glare and a raised chair above ones head held in a manner of intimidation has been enough for me to deter any potential fisticuffs. So no fights for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Sunsets 2,107 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 I got in a short "fight" in middle school once. I was getting someone to stop picking on someone else, and we kind of pushed each other around for a couple of seconds and I threw a binder at him, but that was it. I try to avoid conflict as much as possible.

Rainbow Dash 1,472 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 All my childhood life i was scrawny and submissive. I wanted to be everyones friend and wanted to help everyone. I was basically a Mary Sue. Though, there were kids who hated how happy and cheery i was and bullied me. I was enrolled in martial arts because of this, but i was then taught to never use my skills in anger; only in life threatening situations. So I persevered until the last year of middle school. I was thrown into a circle while my crush looked on horrified. I cold cocked the main bully and knocked him out. I got suspended, and the bully was made to look like the victim because it was 5 kids against me, and my crush. R.I.P.

Here No Longer 5,276 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 (edited) I was in one, and it was with a bully who didn't leave me alone for MONTHS. Seriously, it went on non-stop. However in the sense of a debate that got too heated... I've been in more of those than I can count. Basically every time the other person was the aggressor, and it usually was because they decided that they didn't like my opinion on something.

Xe__or 4,377 January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 Yeah I've been in a fight when I was around 10/11 years old with some bully; needless to say I kicked his ass, then the school's director kicked ours. Then there was one day of civil war between my class and the class one year older than ours when I was around the same age; that shit was weird 1 hello my name is Xe__or and this is disney channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
