Fight or Flight?

[DJ metadelic]

hey thats me

Me too Keith, it's okay.

The only fight I EVER got into, was in high school. A kid called me a piece of shit, I was already having a bad day. All I did was yell at him "what the f*ck did you just say?" He turned around, and kicked a dent in my hood.

I was shaking at that point, you probably could've seen a flameball on top of my head from the hubble. I was pissed. I gunned it, and nearly took his knee cap out at the least. He came over to my door, and I opened it and nailed him in the forehead. He ended up leaving me alone. I drove home with my heart jumping out of my chest for 15 minutes.

I don't like fighting, in fact I really don't want to ever have to.

I trained in ninjutsu and my life is much more important to me than my ego. This is my opinion:

1. avoid any fights mainly by not being in any shady places (example: if i see a bunch of drunk guys who look like wrestlers, i will cross the road and walk on the other side or turn around and go another way)
2. running is always better than fighting (unless somebody else who is important to you is in danger)
why? two reasons. number 1. the possibility of losing 2. even if you win, there is a possibility that the guy will meet you by your house the next day with a machinegun and there is a possibility that it's some punk who trained in ninjutsu and is going to pull out a blade when you already think you won and make you die a slow and painful death.

I consider myself a very shitty martial artist and i respect people who do it as a sport. But on the street... there are no rules and you don't know who you may run into. just something to think about.

Exactly.
I've trained in Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, and JiuJistu... and I don't consider myself good at any of them. I've competed before, and I held my own... but I'm hardly good enough to brag.

My experience in fighting comes mainly from brawling as a kid. Since I've learned martial arts, I haven't had to use any of it seriously in a fight (well, I've had to toss a few people around, but they realized I wasn't as easy of a target as they thought, and they backed down...)

It was in competition and fighting for sport that I realized how much of that WON'T help in a real fight. I don't hit to hurt, I hit to disable... because the other guy will do it to me if I don't do it first! There are no points in real life. No referee. One guy walks away, and the other gets carried away. I have no intention of being the one that gets carried away... but I don't want to have to do what it takes to "win" either... nor do I care to face the consequences of those actions.

I'll avoid a fight.

I can stand about an hours worth of shit before I start to snap on people. I have been in so much trouble at school for fighting people and if I could add up the number of days I spent out of school for fighting, probably 50 days. And if you were a big ass mother fucker trying to fuck with me (do note Im not very big) Im either going to pull my gun (CWP) or you are going to get sliced up. Nowadays when people try to provoke me, I just think about the saying "it takes a bigger man to walk away" and thats what I normally do. But if somebody actually gets to the point of pushing me around and swinging, thats when they get their shit rocked. Its only happened once when this little 130lb ***got in the mall parking lot decided he was gonna be a badass because one of my friends said "hey girl!" to his old lady. I still have the dent in my 89 Sentra where my friend took dudes head and slammed him. I hate fighting, its the dumbest thing in the world unless its for fun.

Guys with weapons always amuse me. I've never faced a gun, and I hope I never do... because if the guy doesn't intend to shoot me, it might make me VERY angry. Don't point a gun at someone unless you're pulling the trigger. Guns aren't meant to frighten someone.

If someone is going to come at me with a weapon, they had better know how to use it. If not, I know how to take it away from them.

Exactly Mike.

If someone came at me with a gun, hope to hell they plan on pulling the trigger, or a knife-- attempt to stab me. If they just held it out, threatened me, and yelled shit in my face- I'd shove it up their ass sideways.

I don't think I'd ever do anything unless someone planned on physically threatening my loved ones, like Zach said. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm always wondering when the first time will be, if that.

[Shag Wagon]

Well I havent had to pull my gun on anybody. And plus the one I have is one of those fold up kind that will fit in your pocket that only have 5 rounds in it. If I shot you with it, it would probably piss you off even more lmao.

Yea, I always hear about people having guns pointed at their heads. If somebody fuckin did that to me then I am going to straight up tell them to pull the fucking trigger.

[sunburn]

i am a pretty laid back guy , but I do have a line! cross it at your own risk lol

[visualpoet]

Alright, well let's say your black and someone calls you the N-word what do you do?

If someone called me a ch*nk (again), I don't know what I'd do this time...

I think I'd at least start talking a bunch of trash back.

Fuck it. It's a name, a word. Maybe being a white guy makes it easier for me to say that, because nothing you can call me really infuriates me. I've been called casper, white bread, greymeat, cracker, honky, but I think my all time favorite is pink bitch. That one made me stop, laugh and ask "Did you just call me a pink bitch?"

"Did you just call me a pink bitch?"

a what?


i cant help but feel that this thread was inspired by vietnam tom

[ric3rboi23]

i started calling people honkeys a while ago. it creates lulz.

[crazymikey]

I'm usually very laid back. I'll take a lot of shit before I get really riled up. If the person is just verbally harrassing me, it doesn't bother me. I usually have some pretty good comebacks to shut them up.

Rarely ever will I throw the first punch. I can only recall instances where I threw the first punch. And one was a good beat down.

If you get into my face and if you lay one finger on me, I can guarantee you that since you inaved my personal space and you are trying to harm me, I'm going to to give it right back to you.

Now,I'm only about 5'10 180lbs. I'm not big my any means, and I'm not all that muscular, but I can put you in your place, or atleast make a good effort.

Basically,I'll show you that you don't fawk with me physically.

Say all you want to me and I'll shrug it off. Touch me and I'll attempt to kill you.

[DJ metadelic]

^Don't try to give Mikey a hug when he's teh madz0rs.

[deevergote]

I have to admit that I got pretty pissed off when a black guy told me that I "don't belong" in a certain area. What pissed me off is that it was MY town! (he was also driving a CB, which added insult to injury...). I chased his ass down and yelled at him. That's all I cared to do, though. Never had any interest in physically harming him.

If you hit me with words, I'll hit you back with words. Words aren't going to make me take a swing at you.
