    you'll always run into someone stronger than you. the whole little I HAVE MORE TO LOSE THAN YOU e-thug attitude is good to fuck around with and all, but there's always going to be someone who's a more unhinged psycho than you can even begin to imagine, and if you run into them with that kind of attitude, then god help you. if it's a 1v1 fistfight and you pull a pipe n take it to their dome you still lost as far as anyone with a clump of functioning graymatter is concerned.

    I said this in another thread, but I'll repeat it again.

    In this day and age where young people see on TV and movies that manliness is equal to how quick you can draw your weapon out and shoot someone REGARDLESS of the situation, it is imperative that people be PREPARED for that immature reaction.

    Any little wannabe who is trying to impress his little buddies is going to try and do something stupid to show off. It's been the same for millenia. Difference is that back in the day, we may have shoplifted some candy or rolled someone's house or hell even picked a fight just to show off how "manly" and "tough" we were. Fist fights were fist fights. I had a black eye ONCE. I had never lost a fight until then, so I figured I would never lose one. Well I did. I was taking up for my little brother when a much older boy pushed him and he whupped my ass. End of story. I learned a lesson.

    Today, you have to assume that all these little thug wannabes are carrying some type of weapon all the time. You know why? Because they can't fist fight. They can't handle situations they get themselves into. They feel that whatever they have hidden away in their pocket is gonna be their equalizer. This is how young people get themselves into such DEEP situations. They think that their little "gat" is gonna be able to get them OUT of anything. WRONG!!!! Especially if you run up on someone that has you 10X's by maturity and 20X's by experience.

    I understand what SC is trying to say. I hate people that jump into somebody else's fight or take cheap shots when someone's not looking. That's gay. I agree. But the problem with all of this is simple:

    Today, society's mindset is totally different. Every little pencil dick has a gun that they're just itching to use because their ego needs to be stroked by their butt buddies. So if you're not prepared for that little pencil dick, then you should keep your mouth shut and not write checks your booty can't cash. Simple.

    I'm with Ruiner. I used to fight all the damn time. I have a very short fuse. It's probably that Napoleonic complex thing...... , but I just don't think it's all that important anymore. There are far more important things to deal with than weather or not I prove that I can smash your face in. Now, if you corner me......that's a different ball of wax.
    exactly
    you hit the nail on the head with today's society.

    You almost feel like you need a weapon in case someone else pulls it on you because a lot of younger kids who are insecure feel like it makes them a bigger man for having one regardless if they must rely on that to kick your ass.

    if someone comes at you with a weapon then by all means let all hell break loose.

    It is smart though to bring friends and stuff in case you need to be helped or in case you get jumped, but otherwise they should stay out of it unless the fight suddenly turns unfair.

    I agree though with whoever brought this point up before, if you have the nerve to start shit, have the nerve to end it by yourself, without an unfair advantage

    thats a very pessimistic view of life, some people still do have values believe it or not.

    and i thought you would be with the whole fighting fair thing
    i would imagine you would be all into honor and stuff with your japanase culture fascination, ex) samurais lol

    Agreed. I've been hit by a Buick doin 55. It was kinda neat, i landed on the hood lol.

    No I wouldn't want hit by a bullet at all. Depending on where you get hit however you might not feel it. lol. If its a fist..its going to hurt haha

    i only fight if there's a reason.

    i get mad at random times so its kinda hard to tell when i'll be in the mood to fight.

    i dont think i'll use a gun on anyone in my life. nor do i want to die.. that's pretty much the point where i dont want to fight.. if i think someone has or i am around someone with a gun, i walk away and just forget about it.

    drunken fights are just stupid... you get over them.

    Ignorance flows freely from this post. E-thug? Hardly. Let me break it down further for you in a more simple fashion so you can understand it:

    I don't go around picking fights with people. That is not what Thinkfast or I are saying. There is a reason for it. If someone comes at me trying to fight I will try and walk away and/or defuse the situation. I am at a point in my life where I am above all the shit I used to do when I was younger. If someone continues to come at me, I am going to defend myself. That is where the fight to win comes in. Fuck all that fight with honor bullshit. If someone wants to come at me, they better be ready for whatever I do, which is whatever it takes. If I am not carrying a weapon with me at that time, who is to say that he isn't? You think I am going to ask? No. I am going to end it before he has the chance to pull it, by any means necessary. If you can't understand that, then I'm sorry and you must get your ass whipped a lot.

    why do you continue to argue that point? lol

    almost everyone here agrees with that and it has been stated over and over, this is coming from the standpoint of the aggressor, not some defending their life from a random stranger who is potentially robbed

    Once again, who the fuck goes looking for fights? I mean, if you are the type of person to just run your mouth, grow the fuck up. Me, I don't go looking for fights and if one comes along looking for me (even after I make my best attempt to stay out of it), I'll be damned if I will leave it to chance with just my fists. I'm too old to sit and have school yard fights. This isn't Jr. High anymore. I wanna go home to my fiancee unhurt and able to relax on my couch; that includes my knuckles if I can avoid it.

    Fighting with fists just for pride leaves too much risk for me to justify. Anything can happen in a fist fight that you think is "fair" and perhaps some of you will realize this when you grow up. If I have the chance to gain the upper hand when someone comes looking for me, I will gain that upper hand and end the situation.

    Why be the aggressor, though? To do so, in my mind, shows both immaturity and stupidity. Why run your mouth, call people out, etc? Why challenge people? What does it accomplish?

    you know there are more situations then just running your mouth and wanting to fight someone, sometimes theres a reason to believe it or not.

    yet again being condescending.

    Condescending my ass! If a situation calls for a fight (as you said earlier), then it is bad enough to probably require a weapon. Get what I am saying? Otherwise, you can just avoid it.

    not at all, some people need to be put in their place or they will never learn. I've had it served to me before rightfully for being an ass hat and i'm thankful for it, it sure got the message across lol

    i don't understand how fighting for your ideals and beliefs makes you immature or stupid, i'd rather die today knowing that I do everything in my power to do what i think is right rather then walk away knowing that i messed up.

    If someone is coming after me though, then by all means its okay to walk away, or use weapons if they get one pulled on me and i have to defend my life, thats an entirely different matter

    Who are you to be able to call yourself a judge and jury? Honestly, what gives you that that ability to decide if someone needs to be put in their place?

    Once again, if you are of the mindset of "putting people in their place" and being the aggressor, you shouldn't be surprised if someone shoots you for trying to do so. To me, you convey an immature attitude for trying to do so. Everyone has the right to be an asshat if they want. It's a free country. It's my God-given right if I so feel the need to be one. If someone tries to put me in my place for doing so, they should not be surprised if bad shit goes down. Why you would want to do this is beyond me, but to each their own. Personally I feel that what goes around comes around. If I can keep from fighting, I'll do that. If some trailer trash wants to call me out in front of everyone, OH WELL! He isn't even worth my time.

    You were born in '89. You are still young and have a lot to learn about the ways of the world. Hopefully you'll make it to your 30th or 40th birthday. I can tell you this: if you go around "putting people in their place" all of the time, your life might just be cut short.

    i said that i don't go around doing that because i'm not a big guy, and you're right everyone does have the ability to go around being an ass hat. So yet again you are correct, what goes around comes around. You can't go around being an asshole to people and not expect to get knocked back down on your ass, if you have no regard for others and put yourself first in every situation then sometimes a quick smack in the head will fix it.

    Most physical injuries heal when fighting fairly as i stated, the mental injuries that some people inflict with this kind of attitude can last a lot longer.

    everytime you take a jab at me its because of my age and things you don't know about, so whos the judge and jury?

    Are you still not getting it? Read disrupt's post again. Sounds like we should be fighting fair for the sake of fighting fair. Now read my post. I was explaining that if someone comes at me, I am not "fighting fair" I am fighting to win. Period.

    Ruiner is right, you kids have alot to learn.

    By the time someone pulls it on you, it could be too late. Why take that chance? This isn't the O.K. Corral. People don't count to three and draw. They will pull it out and fuck you up before you even get to yours. I, for one, will not take that chance in this day and age. If someone has the balls to come at me, then they have the balls to be carrying a weapon. I'm not going to take the chance of waiting to see if he pulls one.

    Exactly. That goes along with having the "balls" to put someone in their place as well; but by only using your fists. To use "vigilante" justice to put some asshat in their place is beyond me. Why go INTO a fight that you don't have to? Why create the confrontation when it isn't truly needed? Lucky SC seems to believe that this is okay. So what if someone doesn't "respect" you?

    So, if someone doesn't respect you and you try and put them in their place, said person should fight fair? No. I disagree 100%. I have a thing called self preservation. I don't go around trying to be an asshat, but there are times that people get the wrong impression and shit just happens. When "shit" goes down, I gain the upper hand as quickly as possible (within my legal rights).

    A perfect example: I showed up to a car gathering one night in a small town a few years ago. I had a buddy with me. We were in my 911 turbo and everyone else there had Fords, Hondas, Chevys, etc. No sooner did I step out of my car, someone asked me to race. I wasn't there to race, so I told him no. I didn't smirk, laugh, anything. All I said was, "No, I am just here to chill with everyone else." IMMEDIATELY I was confronted by kids that thought that I must think that I was "too good" for them. Because I was driving a $100,000+ car, they were all offended that I didn't want to race. Assumptions immediately popped their ugly heads up. They suddenly got up in my face and told me to leave or they were going to make me leave. Now, all I said was that I didn't want to race. I didn't make ANY comments that were condescending or looked down upon. These guys were being asshats. One stepped up to me. He had NO weapon that I could see, but was I going to take that chance? Hell no. I walked away with my buddy as they taunted and talked shit. Did I care? No. Could I have put that one kid in his place? Sure. Was it worth my time to do so? No. HAD he hit me, I would have fought back enough to get away. If they had kept coming, I would have shot them and/or at least ended the situation immediately. I wouldn't even think twice about it. If nothing else, the cops would have been there to arrest them. After all, I found out that the best way to really hurt people is to take their freedom and hurt their wallet. Why stand there and engage in a fist fight when I have the ability to get out of the situation unscathed? Even if I KNOW that I can whip his ass, why do it? What do you REALLY gain from that? I'm 31 years old and DO NOT stoop down to the maturity level of high schoolers and/or white trash that have nothing better to do than pick fights.

    Lucky SC, if you can't understand that, you have a lot to learn.

    In NC my main rival got out the car he was in and pulled a gun on me, I pulled a kitchen knife on him and chased him around his friends car. Im still here, he did not fire. The next day I had people asking me if I pulled a machete out on him. I was like wtf it was a little piece of shit kitchen knife. I guess he wanted to look less of a pussy by saying I had a machete. Either way, those are the people that get guns as an extension of their dick. Most of them are too pussy to use them, but rather point or flash them during an argument to emphasis some sort of point.

    I don't go around picking fights with people. That is not what Thinkfast or I are saying. There is a reason for it. If someone comes at me trying to fight I will try and walk away and/or defuse the situation. I am at a point in my life where I am above all the shit I used to do when I was younger. If someone continues to come at me, I am going to defend myself. That is where the fight to win comes in. Fuck all that fight with honor bullshit. If someone wants to come at me, they better be ready for whatever I do, which is whatever it takes. If I am not carrying a weapon with me at that time, who is to say that he isn't? You think I am going to ask? No. I am going to end it before he has the chance to pull it, by any means necessary. If you can't understand that, then I'm sorry and you must get your ass whipped a lot.
    i haven't gotten my ass whipped once since i've moved to the states, and i've been in fights. i'm not an agressor, i don't run around trying to start fights, but there's things that set me off, and i've had a lot of shit to deal with from people here, but that's a diff story. but whatever, if you think shooting someone cause you're too much of an egomaniacal asshat to handle a lost fight is excusable, then that's on you. honor still does exist, just not in this country, apparently.

    thats what i'm saying

    and btlfed, thats what i'm saying, if someone comes after me then i will pull a weapon if they do, but i wouldn't pull it out before they did because i think that they might do someting to me.

    it might be a shortcoming of mine or just plain stupid, but i like to have hope that someone is not going to resort to that for their own personal saftey that i don't have to seriously hurt them with my own weapon. Hope is all you got that society hasn't resorted to NEEDING a weapon to settle a fight.

    You know what i'm saying? it probably isn't the safest route, but in my mind its the most ethical thing to do. yet again i must remphasize the fact that this does not apply to someone intruding on your property or attacking you. This is two people who know eachother

    You and Lucky SC must live in a mythical world where people don't carry guns.

    You two just don't get it. I hope the next time one of you gets in a fight someone pulls a gun and shoots you while you are either A) in the middle of pulling yours, or B) holding on to your "honor."

    I, on the other hand, prefer to live and not take a chance of some asshat killing me.

    the overwhelming majority of people don't actually, usually only young guys with overflowing testosterone levels are the ones who pull them, and they are few in numbers.

    The other group of people that have them are those who have been affected by them or use them for defense in case they do something (excluding hunters).

    in case you didn't read, i said i have no problem with having one for protection, but i see no need to pull one out when you are the aggressing party.

    That is where this way of thinking stems from then. Ya ever been shot at? Stabbed? I have. I will not ever take the "honor" BS route. That could be the difference between life and death.

    Is the internet cutting in and out?
    Are you just not reading?
    Do you comprehend the english language?

    I have said a hundred times that i would use one in defense if one was used on me. Read any post, seriously take your pick lol. I said in just about every single one, i dunno how many times i have to tell you this

    people like you irritate the fuck out of me. why the fuck do fights have to end in shootings, are you a complete fucking sociopath?
    and lol @ socal being hardcore. 8 years ago i got woken up in the middle of the night by my house jumping off its foundation because a nato plane dropped a bomb ~1km down the road. i grew up in eastern europe you dumb fuck, hardly idealistic(unless warfare, genocide, and bombings get you off). i've had bricks, and pipes taken to my face, and i've had a knife put into me under my right pec(luckily it hit a rib instead of going into my lung), and i still don't "carry". you're the reason people hate america, you're the reason your country has one of the highest gun murder rates in the world(i understand you want to keep yourself safe but you give off the vibe that no matter what if an altercation arises you brandish and shoot). you hope someone shoots me? i hope you're in a prison cell in a year getting sung to sleep by jamal, while he's cock deep in your ass because you decided to let your gun speak for you instead of "taking a chance" against an unarmed douchebag with a big mouth.

    like it fucking matters though. i'm not going to change your mind, and you're not going to change mine, so why bother anymore. i'll just say i guess i can see where you're coming from(as you are a product of a diff enviroment. you have to understand, after a history of warfare on our own turf, entire serb population on earth is under 8million, so we do our best to avoid killing each other due to our strong national pride...despite the fact that we stupidly go out after soccer/bball games and beat the everliving fuck out of eachother. but yeah, point being we try to avoid dwindling our numbers even further, and using guns in fights is generally frowned upon). point being, i'll just continue to not carry a gun, and i guess i'll avoid you for the sake of not ending up in a hospital getting bullets removed from my chest, or a mortuary slab.

    just south of chi-town is where ahmonrah grew up at. first time i was shot at, i wasnt even a week past 13. first time i was attacked with a knife? 14. jumped ? 12. and since then i've buried many friends due to idiots wielding weapons, but i still choose bare knuckle but knowing the immense pussy-ization of the generation below me (i'm 28) and the "O- DAWG, NINO BROWN and SCARFACE" mentality some of the folks in my generation have chosen to take, i'll leave mine holstered and pay attention to the hands IF i happen to get into another fight...which in my chill state, isnt likely.

    Here is the thing: I never pull my piece unless legally I can do so. Thus, no "brandishing" or anything like that as I have seen some of you say.

    Most LEGAL gun owners don't use guns to intimidate or scare someone. They use their guns to keep themselves or others from being seriously injured and/or killed; all with in accordance to the law. 9 times out of 10, if they are pulling their gun out, it is to stop the threat. This isn't some high school kid or anything like that. I think that many of you are confusing "illegal" weapon owners vs those legal ones who abide by the law.
