Elijah Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Originally posted by Mandolorian54 Zdwag I respect that you see the wisdom in not fighting but if youve never been in a fight how would you know? Did you not read any of my posts? I have been in fights and there for know how stupid it is. There may not be godlyness in fighting but standing up for yourself in a fight has it's honors. It's ok to stand up for yourself, but only when you are attacked. If you really have the honor you think you do, than you don’t have to prove it by fighting because someone verbally offends you. Besides, beating proud snoby brats has it's plesures. Your being a “proud snoby brat' by acting like " I'm mister awesome fighter, don’t gimmie your crap or you die" does that not sound like pride? Going around picking fights is wrong but if someone chalenges you I say fight the Highlander way! I'm Scottish, but that’s besides the point... yes, picking fights is wrong, but so is not walking from a challenge If someone challenges you, walk away. If someone attacks you, defend yourself. That is pure wisdom, I agree hole heartedly And once again for the record, I'm not scared of a fight nor am I a weakling. My point is that I have nothing to prove that must be proven by fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 not sure if somebody posted this already but "the only fight won is the fight avoided" ive had my share of fights and not in a single one of them was anything accomplished. at the time it may have felt great to get that oaf off my back and have him go pick on somebody else but is that really a good thing? i find that the people who do the most trashtalking and most boasting about their personal skill are the people who really cant back it up in real life. its these people who are so insecure about themselves in real life that they feel the need to project this macho image on the internet. as if all the rest of the swampies care. i understand the emotion mandalorian had. the pride of beating a brother can be overwhelming at times and im glad that you two didnt stay mad at each other but i really think you shouldnt have gotten a fight in the first place. my words probably wont matter to you and you may even resent me for them but in the long run you will realize that im right. and if you dont then thats a loss.

Mandalorian54 Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 I sorta do agree with you guys but the only reason I got in a fight is because I was mad at my brother. And those karate self defense things are kinda anoying. Some times it just feels good to beat someone up for making fun of you. And what do you geeks know about fighting, all you know is what youve been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you geeks know about fighting, all you know is what youve been told. excuse me? im sorry but what on earth gave you the idea that we're geeks? granted we all like starwars but last i checked so did you. you say we only know what we've been told? ok well a little while ago i smacked a kid in my school in the face with a chair. i didnt want to be in a fight but i didnt have much choice after he hit me with a hockey stick. i immediately regretted what id done to him and shouldve reacted more calmly and less crazily. i know that what i did was wrong and if i could take it back i would. if i could go back and just taken that shot to the legs with that stick and hobble off i would. call me a loser or a wimp i dont care, i dont need a reputation to feel good about myself. i understand that you got caught up in the heat of the moment. you're only human and its bound to happen but if you find yourself in that situation try to get out of it without fighting. i wish i couldve thought so clearly that day but i didnt. im ashamed of my actions and im glad to say that we didnt hold it against each other and we're friends now. my hobble is gone and his nose isnt in a brace anymore. the reason i didnt post some idiotic thread about it on the day it happened is because id rather not have my fellow swampies look down on me for admitting that. well truths out now. im sorry and if you wanna think of me as a worse person for it i cant hold that against you. i can only say that ill try and be a better person next time.

Mandalorian54 Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 I know its better to avoid a fight and all that. If someone punches you in the face and you turn the other cheek youd be suprised what could hapen. But sometimes getting in fights seems cool. It's not really I know but to be honest, I don't regret what I did....It kinda seems weird, I think against anyone cept my brother I probably would feel regret, but Ive wanted to beat him up for a long time. I don't think your all geeks but most of you are, and I'm not. but don't just take my word for it, I could be a homocidal maniak for all you guys know. You never can be to careful on the internet.

Mandalorian54 Posted November 18, 2002 Author Share Posted November 18, 2002 Well this is a slightly more amusing topic anyway. Your absolutly right geeks do not deserve to be beten up, the people who beat up geeks deserve to be beten up. Like my brother. to a sertain extent. the people who made half life blue streak are not geeks, and I myself plan on making a mod of a game, mabee max pain or morowind, with my friend. His dad is a geek though and he'll be a big help since he builds computers for a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
