LOL You grumpy fucker, this is a thread about you fighting someone in the street, my question was hardly out of line! You come across as very petty and small minded, I can imagine you arguing with people over the smallest things, always needing the last word, etc. Do you drive? I bet you get terrible road rage.
After a thread like this, you expect me to recount scraps I've had in the past for your entertainment? Yes, I don't take kindly to disrespect and I do occasionally get into confrontations that usually Do Not end up in a physical confrontation because most people when they know it will come to that and are dealing with a person who will take it to that level, will back down. Most people, as aggressive as they may be, are not willing to back it up. Like all bullies, deep down they are cowards.
I would say a year doesn't go by where I don't get into an actual physical confrontation. That's because I made it a point, a vow I made when I was 15 years old, that I will not tolerate bullies and people who harass other people even if it means I might get my ass kicked. Which I have. Past incidents would be when someone cut in line while we were standing in line to get into a movie. Most people just let it go because they are afraid to say anything. Not me. I speak out. I was at a Burger Kind when these four Marines were talking so loud using the foulest language even with families and little children present. Everyone just kind of shook their heads but didn't dare look their way. Not me. Though I know I am no match for four Marines if it came to it I don't just sit there averting my gaze and act like I don't hear anything like a little coward. They're going to hear from me and if I know it's going to get ugly I'll make sure at least one of them has a broken nose.
Someone felt that I was following him too closely so he followed me when I pulled into the parking lot of the grocery store I was going to and he sped up to get in front of me and stop his car blocking me from going forward. He got out of his car looking ready to throw hands so I got out as well ready and willing. As I approached him I notice that there was a little girl sitting in the back of his car. I looked at her and she looked at me looking scared to death. I looked back at him and said, "Your kid." He said, "Yeah." I then said, "Consider yourself lucky, mother fucker," and walked away. No way I'm going to kick someone's ass, if it did go my way, with is his little girl watching. I do make exceptions. If that homeless guy just said, "You know, I'm a mess and I'm going through some hard times and I'm hungry as hell. I would have given him my extra burger and fries, not giving the one I had only because I already took a bite. Remember earlier in this thread, I recounted how when I first came to Hawaii and took a weekend job delivery pizzas I would always take the extras and give it to the guys at the half-way house that was on my way home and also give a pizza to the homeless guy who hung out in front of the store right around the corner from me. I made an exception for that guy because he never bothered anybody. He was a bum and an alcoholic but he never asked for a dime from anyone. Just sat there, played his ukulele every now and then and chewed the fat with people that would shop at the store. Took me about six months before I noticed that. He became pretty good friends and would chat all the time. Always hated when he would give me a big hug because he stunk to high hell and lice would get on me. He died almost two years ago. Never bothered anyone. Never asked for a dime. I always made sure to get him something to eat whenever I went into a the store. I didn't want to give him money because I know he'd just buy booze. I tried to help him get into a shelter but he told me his brother lived down the block and he'd go there when the weather got really bad but mostly he preferred to live under the bridge by the store.
Yes, when you have my attitude you are bound to get into trouble. I know that. But I'm not on this planet to be like you and most people. I speak up. I do something. You consider it petty and small minded. But if you were at that Burger King with your family or you were standing in line with your wife and kids you will be glad, damn glad, that there are still people with some balls left in this pussified culture that will stand up to punks and bullies. I know phaggots like Basile and ratherbebig look at it as "man, it's just waiting an extra few minutes in line", "it's just Burger King and words never hurt anybody and it was directed at me." Fine, you keep your corner of the world how you like it and I'll keep mine like how I like it. And I like it when people show respect and consideration to other people. If you don't, then I don't take too kindly to that and will make it be known.
