Of course twilight, you can always defend yourself. However, you would be more likely to get a successful charge against someone if you didnt fight back. Think about it, the purpose of a fight is to hurt someone. What better way to hurt someone that take away their career and money?

Oh, I don't know, SD. I socked a friend in the head for attacking my brother once. Broke a co-workers jaw for getting drunk and attacking a friend of mine another time. In both cases, I waited until they threw the first punch (broken jaw threw a lot of them) at me before retaliating. In both cases, the physical altercation was all that was needed and eventually forgotten, though the broken jaw incident took a little more time to get over. :?

I dislike physical confrontation, but am certainly not afraid of it. If it got to that point and nothing else worked, I'd much rather just get it over with and not worry about anything afterwards.

I think he is informing the internet how tough he is. I know I'm scared.
Ive always wanted to ask this question to one of these tough guys who likes to fight anyone who smarts off to them.
Now, dont get me wrong, in my younger days I was one of "those guys" However you grow out of it with maturity and face it we live in different times now where people press charges for anything.
The question would be. Say you get in a fight with someone and he takes the punch and lays down. He then calls the cops, you get charged with assault, you lose your driving career. He has a bruise that heals in a few days, you are reduced to a 10 buck an hour warehouse person with a criminal record. Now, who won that fight?

Come on.. be real here
Of course I can handle people smarting off to me and shrug it off. I do it daily. What I am talking about is constant aggression and verbel abuse as the guy said he was enduring. I hate fighting and violence and advoid it every way possible.
Sometimes one has to back down a aggresive bully. By the way I would never through the first punch. Leave that to the bully if he wants to continue his aggression then you are defending yourself. This is why I am getting out of my security job-I am tired of being confronted by aggresive crazy people. I hope I answered your question - just defend yourself and you won't be at fault.

I know it's been said already before on this site...."Settle down Frances..."When I started to read the post I could see him in his gaurd outfit puffing up with his newly polished badge and Barney Fiffe hair cut, hat all tilted on his head..."Want some!!!" "That's right you don't want none of this..."Mean while Junior Brown Highway patrol playing in the background...

Yeah ... You are making judgments with out knowing me. I hope all truckers are not so quick to judge people. I guess I will not be talking to anyone and keeping to my self better that way.
Oh yeah I am sure the lady who was being attacked by a felon rapist that I saved thinks I'm Barney..... I could go on but I won't. Could have been anyone sister or mother.

Always let them throw the first punch. Doesn't mean you have to let them hit you, but if they throw, you can go.

what if I let them throw the first punch and it knocks me out and then they kill me? Boy, will I feel stupid then

Of course you aren't afraid of physical confrontation. You are the caped crusader.

It'll go until it reaches Page 9. Then we all must disregard it!

Hat Rak!!

I don't think that our focus here should be centered so much around "Disregard";

THIS thread really rises to the level of a devout "IGNORE"!! :P

[Popeye]

We are going to have another thread to disregard

We can't ignore it. I already read it this far in. I have to disregard it.

Yeah, you're right, Jumbo!!

If we ignore it now, then that leaves us ignoring the disregard, which could be problematic.
