Guardian Omega Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Ah, this is why I trained with weights, pretty much no one bothers me now.......... But seriously, provoking someone is not a wise move AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 One must ALWAYS try to gauge a person's tolerance level when communicating. What could seem as merely playful banter to one person may be considered as nothing short of a blow in the face to another person. Everyone has different tolerance levels for name-calling. Until you have been around a person long enough to know what he/she likes/dislikes, try to be as non-combative as possible. As you yourself have witnessed, misunderstandings can become very ugly. The trick is that they don't have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Windu Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 I agree with Mystic, I did grow up in a mainly black town, and I do hang out with alot of black people, but then I hang around with white people and other people too... they just seem to accept me thats what you get for growing up in the Dirty South. See the point i'm trying to get across is... did you think the stabbing is too much? For those of you who actually wonder if he's alright... yeah he is, and yeah he did start the fight, but damn some freaking scissors... And nobody's gonna jump him he can fend for himself... one on one with whoever messes with him. Chinese guy's expelled so that should solve some things... and I don't think the other guy was weaker either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 (Now I don't want to set the forums ablaze, but here's my question and opinion.) Pardon me, but WHY IS THERE SO MUCH VIOLENCE AND HATRED IN THIS WORLD?!?!? It's good your buddy's alright, Mike, but starting a fight and trading punches or kicks with each other.......that's bad. Pulling out weapons........that's even worse. In a conflict such as this, no one wins and everybody loses, no matter whoever fought back or started the fight. Personnally, if I was attacked with a sharp object, you can find me in the nearest tree......or running for my life. Whichever happens first.

ET Warrior Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Originally posted by Mike Windu See the point i'm trying to get across is... did you think the stabbing is too much? Well, lets take, ME for example. I am pretty much a pacifist. I dont condone violence or believe it's right. But if some guy was attacking me I sure as hell would use any weapon I have at my disposal against him. I think that they should both be expelled if anyone is expelled. The stabbing with scissors was self-defense, plain and simple. It doesn't really matter if the chinese guy was weaker or not, your friend threw the first punch and in that scenario he has an extreme advantage in the fight. Like I said. In that situation I'd use a pair of scissors if I had 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 i keep reading "it's lucky the guy didn't pull out a gun" i don't know how many guns people have ever seen, but, living in wyoming, i have a PRETTY good experience w/them. It's kinda hard to conceal a pistol in your pants w/o someone noticing, it'll make you walk different, change how you sit and basically change everything you do so it doesn't fall out. I also KNOW that half the people who pull guns out (around here anyway) won't use them, they just want to try to scare the person into backing down, i've had guns pointed at me before (by jr. high/grade school kids when i was in grade school) i was afraid but i didn't miss a beat in just walking towards the person "you better kill me with that first shot cuz if you don't i'm gonna be mad" and they backed down. it depends on the person who's pointing the gun, but honestly, not everyone who points a gun at someone is going to shoot them. i know from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I live in CA close to LA. If someone points a gun at you - they usually shoot you. I'm not about to approach that person and "dare" him to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XERXES Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 heh, some stupid black people at a halloween college party came over to the house I was at.

Black ppl shot em in the legs. I wasnt in the room I was in the basement downstairs but damn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 i guess it has nothing to do with "stupid black people" i guess it only has to do with "stupid people". because as i know it there were those three nazis and i looked into the gun of that one guy and i did nothing to cause that. and it was the 25th december. man.. not that this is of any matter, but i am so what of "nonblacklooking" and all that .. prrffftt. later i met one of those again and he looked into my gun. i swear that crying young a**hole didnt even WANT to remember all the names he called at me a couple of days before. pah. stupid humans..

ShockV1.89 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 If I get in a fight and it looks like it's not going my way, and I see a weapon sitting nearby, within reach... your damn right I'm gonna grab it and start swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Originally posted by ET Warrior wooow. what a badass. ooohhhh... Weapon X is a tough guy... btw, fighting isn't the key, I know, but it's not like we can eliminate it. Well, arguing is healthy, starting to cuss each other out is beginning to get out of hand, and throwin the first punch is worst. I mean REALLY, school is like that sometimes. I know. Had two of my best friends fight with eachother. Got a day OSS, and a week of ISS. if u don't remember what OSS and ISS are, OSS = out of school suspension, ISS = in school suspension. One friend started barghing like heck, other stupid one starts cryin after bein sent to the office. After two months, the both of them are BEST FRIENDS again. Fighting may be bad, but sometimes it's just normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weapon X Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 well at least i have the BALLS to back up the **** i talk, instead of running away from problems that won't go away i face them and deal with them the ONLY way it can be solved by. you can say all you want about me but since i'm the only one here who has dared some racist kid to shoot me it means i must have SOME kind of confidence. "no it's just stupidity" if you said that then you don't know me at all. which is fine, cuz you guys say that thinking "oh he's just trying to act big online" honestly if you guys hate me i don't care, i have a life outside of the internet. i just come here to see if there's any interesting news that i haven't see or read yet. i'll tell you about me right now; i drink to get drunk, i smoke big ass cigars, i love to shoot guns, women are the ultimate goal, and i love to fight. that's the way i am and i'm a good enough fighter that there's probably 5-6 people in my school who would actually fight me, the rest are scared ****less. even if none of you like it i don't care, i grew up a white kid on an indian reservation, there was some hardcore racism and i never once got into a 1-on-1 fight, it was always NO LESS than 2 versus me. i got pretty tough from it and when you fatass losers sit on your computers criticizing someone else's lifestyle it's pathetic, take a look in the mirror and realize how cool you are, i'm living life and when i share an experience that you guys try to poke fun at? that's some sad stuff right there. the only other person here who has a story like mine is RayJones, i like that story cuz he didn't run away crying like most of you would have, he got them back just the same as they tried to get him. did he get shot? no? why is that? cuz not everyone who pulls a gun on someone is going to shoot them, looks like my story had some relevance huh? lots of people are just talk, people who pull guns, people on forum boards......

Elijah Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Originally posted by Swoosh Sorry guys, fighting is a stupid behavior that doesn't benefit anyone. If you beat someone up, you're just spreading hate, not defeating it. The bigger thing to do would be walk away. You'd probably be surprised that you would be respected for not being an idiot and risking your life. I disagree, so people need the crap beaten out of them so they realize they are not invinsable and then need to have some respect for people.

Most things that ever walked or lived on this planet are dead. Living things are a minority. But some things had the gonads to fight, at least. That doesn't mean that any sort of war has been glorified. Fighting doesn't make you evil, for gawds sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
