where does all this anger come from? Did i insult you under another name? Did I piss off a BBer you admire? Seriously, it sounds like you want to solve everything with violence.
There is a time for violence. it's called the last resort. Avoidance, negotiation, THEN conflict. Two grown men who risk injury and possibly death just to get the 'honor and pride' that comes with hurting each other are two grown idiots who value ego over their well being, freedom, and ability to provide for their family.
Note: I am not a pussy. It the $ is there to justify the risk that comes with a fight, hell yes, I'm in. If I am ever attacked, yes, I will fight and I will fight hard.
But your words sound like those of a man who's never seen violence. Fresh out of the air force, my dad shot and killed a man who tried to rob his store, many years ago. Those terrible memories stick with him to his day. My brother shot and crippled a man who tried to rob his pharmacy last year. He still has nightmares and he is a paranoid guy now. My grandfather was a policeman who used his gun in the line of duty, and never talked about it, but was always solemn. My other grandfather died in prison of injuries sustained in a fight.
The point? Anyone who has ever seen violence doesn't embrace it just to get a win for ego. Violence should occur when it is the last resort. Man sticks gun in your face, you get violent. Man attacks you in street, you get violent. But man says you're holding water at a BBing show, on a message board- you do not get violent.
If you don't change, you'll likely end up injured, jailed, or dead of rage-induced heart disease before age 45. Violence comes after logic, reason, and law have failed. My 2 cents.
No you haven't insulted me under another name mate .
Clint was the man with no name and I am the man with one .
However you do annoy the life out of me sometimes because you are a cyber bully .
I hate bullies . I was the man of the house from a young age when my parens ts split so I had to look out for everyone . Therefore I tend to enjoy protecting people . I get a buzz out of it . I never enjoyed violence as a kid but I was good at it . I started boxing at 4 but strangely enough I never got into bother with the cops until I quit the boxing .
I got charged with assault 3 times in the space of 6 months . The first time I knocked out this big guy ( rugby player from our school ) for slapping my girlfriend . She had been cheeky to him but you know how it goes ... . Second time I battered a HUGE guy who was harassing my wee mum because she had friends that were catholic . The third time I got charged with assaulting 6 cops . What a joke . They kicked the shit out of me and all I got was one hit in . I got of with the first two easily but the 3rd was very serious and scary for me especially because I was very innocent . Luckily the cops hadn't got their stories straight so I got off with it without even calling one of my many witnesses . That was a tremendous relief but it gave me a good fright at the right time in my life .
Everything went tickety-boo until I separated from the mother of my first two kids . I was financially ruined so I had to earn extra pennies . I thankfully got the kids so to earn extra pennies I went to work as a bouncer . I didn't want to spend too much time away from my young kids so at least my new job was late at night while they slept .
The job was good for me because I earned some money and I had lots of fun . It's amazing how you think of me as a thug when in out club I was the nice guy bouncer who tried to talk things down first . Walking a guy out can be a greater challenge . People think bouncers are all thick but there were 4 of us at my club with degrees .
In 4 years I got sacked twice , charged 12 times , went to court once ( got off ) , was a witness countless times and became a daddy again . Nowadays I just stick to me day job and only work at the clubs ( about 3-6 shifts a month ) as favours for my brothers in arms .
I will not get a heart attack at 45 but thanks for caring . I type these posts with a smile . I do it because I enjoy it .
I don't think violence is the answer to everything but if someone like you is hell bent on ridiculing someone or trying to get them into trouble at work , with their wife etc then then in my eyes they deserve a slap .
The UK is far to pc nowadays which is why young wayward teenagers are making everyone's life a misery .
Last year a young lad of 9 from a BAD family threw an empty bottle of beer at my mum's back door . This family had the police at the house on a daily basis so obviously that was not working so I found out where they lived , went to their door and told the father about the situation . He was not interested . The wee boy was summoned to the door at which point I grabbed his dad by the throat and warned him that if
anyone threw a bottle at my mum's door I would come back round and beat up the dad followed by everyone in the house . Families like that don't call the police so I was confident my message would strike home and so far it has .
That may not be your way 240 but it is mine .
