wow most people agree
cool
words of wisdom from a reasonable woman............
DO NOT FIGHT FOR FREE
EVERY FIGHT COULD BE YOUR LAST IF YOU GET HURT SO DON'T WASTE ONE ON A STREET FIGHT-PRIDE DOES NOT PAY YOUR MORTGAGE.
A famous cricketer (retired for some decades) decided to act like a dick and start something with a young bouncer out here last year. He got punched once, went down, hit his head and died.
That is why streetfights are so inexcusably insane. You go out for a drink and wind up in the morgue.
"can anyone tell me why grown men streetfight? thanks"
It's quite simple really. Body of an adult, brain of a child.
Its not good. I got arthritis (sp.) and a severed metacarple that never heals properly from being forced to streetfight.
Sometimes streetfighting is a prophylactic agent to stop future streetfights and streetfights against people you know.
E.G. I grew up as catholic in occupied territory in Northern Ireland. 3% of the area was catholic and we got f*cked most days. Thing about gang streetfighters though are they are lazy and dont like getting hurt. So smashing them in the mouth, whether they beat you in the end or not because of numbers, they got punishment in the Skinnerian sense.
Its like the fat man getting a mild electric shock every time he eats cake. He still gets to eat cake but it becomes associated with pain. So in a sense, these guys chilled the more punishment they received.
Dont get me wrong. I'd rather have normal hands but 'a headbutt in time saves nine'.
I live in England now, where people genuinely just are all talk and its easy to walk past and ignore it.
Not condoning any "out-of-the-ring-fighting" but I would do whatever neccesary to protect myself or my loved ones and worry about the consequences afterwards.
Also, sometimes violence is the only answer... :-)

I disagree. I'm a middle school teacher and every kid in my school think he's a tough kid and most them are out looking for a fight. I say a good ass kicking will set the youth of America straight.
TTT for Beating people up.
Yes but what happens when someone whips YOUR ass?
"You are quite right. MMA isn't violence, it's combative competition."
We've been here before. It's both. Look it up.
"Yes but what happens when someone whips YOUR ass?"
You got 2 choices - (1) you take your lumps, accept you've been beaten, move on or (2) you take your lumps, refuse to accept you've been beaten, go back and get your revenge in the rematch....

Xad,
I actually I had to do it twice but I was trying to keep the story short. After the second slam he wanted to be buddies and gave up on the girl and started drinking heavy. He then picked on some youngster neighbor kid who was outside. He told the kid, if you think that your tough punch me in the face. The kid didn't want to but I told him go ahead, don't worry, hit him on the jaw line close to his ear. So the kid hit him and knocked him out cold. After that the guy stayed there but with drew from socializing.
WHAT I CANT TAKE IS SEVERAL GUYS BEATING ON 1

"then you will really look like a bitch."
see, there's the problem...pride
lol@that dork in ethan's story
I disagree, in some instances fighting actually can resolve an issue. I agree that many times there is no point, but sometimes it is the best option. Losing a fight is probably the most humbling experience one can have. If someone acts like a dick and always starts fights, eventually he is going to cross someone who actually knows what he is doing. I garantee after a proper ass whooping, he will think twice the next time he wants to act up.
oleg2004,
I agree 100%. There is no need to fight over dirty looks.... or for that matter just people who stare. It's a better man who tries to smoothe things over.
A good friend of mine told me once when I was freaking out on someone for staring too long, "Hey, try nodding your head or saying hello first." Strange, but he was right, most people wave, nod, or say hello back.
In my two stories #1 was justified. In #2 I could have tried talking but it was pretty clear that the guy had a point to prove... I did ask him if he had a problem to which he answered, "What if I do?" come on now, we all know that means, "Hell yeah, I have a fucking problem...." At least I didn't hit him, I just let him know that I could dominate him and was totally cool with him after each slam I gave him. He eventually caught on.
max power,
for the most part I agree, many people beating up one can be kind of lame. BUT, I have to tell you, one time back when I lived in So. Cal. some friggin' huge guy took one of my beers when I was not looking. I say,"Hey, who the hell took one of my beers!?!?" I only had 6 and it was good stuff. This monster yells at me, "I took it, don't worry about it." This guy was a total jerk to everyone at the party, 300lb college football player, he wasn't just a dick to me he was one to everyone. Anyway, I go down stairs and wait for him. When he comes down my back to the light so he can't see my face even though I'm facing him. When he got close enough I gave him a looping overhand right to the face that landed hard. It just made him stumble... but get this, everone at the party started taken shoots at him. He got knocked down, kicked in the face, elbows to the back, and many punches to the head. This friggin' guy was tough, he keeped getting up telling everyone, "You want shit with me?!?!?" I did hit him a couple of time but I mostly concentrated and throwing him back down to the ground when ever he got up. He was a 300lb sandbag head and everyone else was under the 200 mark. I wonder if we even hurt him more than a few bruises. Man he was a tough SOB. That was almost 20 years ago now, back when I was about 18. Moses! I'm getting old. Anyway, he got what he deserved... plus I don't think we hurt him.
Btw, that same guy went to another party on another weekend and ended up meeting some people that were well over 200lb whom broke him jaw. Some people just ask for it, eventually someone is going to offer what they want.

Beating people up is gay.
