but it took you 9 years, Neb !! Do you realy want SomeGuy to get picked on for 9 years?? After i kncked the 2nd kid down a flight of steps the kids who picked on me got nevouse and left me alone. It only took about 2 weeks.

Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. Live by violence and you will DIE by violence. You reap what you sow. Why cannot people realize this? Sheesh, is it really that difficult? Or are people just too damn blind and stupid half of the time?

Hunter, you may kick the shit out of all of your problems. But then anyone who's problem you become will kick the shit out of you to get rid of you as well. Whereas if you ignored them they might ignore you. If you talked your way through things they might try to talk with you.

Violence breeds violence. War breeds war. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. It's 4 am, I'm in a bad mood. And I currently feel that the Earth should be nuked, cleansed of all humans and be left to begin over again.

Neb, you really haven't seen unreasonable people, have you? Try to talk to them, they do it more, try to reason with them, they do it more, these kinds must be put to the sword (Miss that way of life), or made productive. Thus my drone theory holds more weight than ever.

Then ignore them, leave them alone, others of their own kind will get in a fight with and kill them at some point. Or they'll wither and die some other way. And yes, I have seen such people. Stoop to their level and get violent and you'll be as bad as them and need to be "put to the sword" as well.

Drone theory? Meh, just violence-inhibiting chips that prevent us from harming other humans.

Remember, you reap what you sow. If you kill, you will be killed. If you hurt, you will be hurt. If you steal, from you there will be stolen. "He who fights monsters should take care that he does not become a monster himself." However he who ignores monsters or deals with them peacefully is safe.

No no no, my theory we should start mankind over as a slave race, by growing them out of flesh vats Dune style. That would be seriously technocratic.

I have not had to fight someone from school since the 8th grade. Think of it as similar to the mutual assured destruction nuke idea.

If you can handle taking it for 9 years then go ahead but some people would snap by then or become depressed.

Consider the virtues of standing up to bullys and increasing the quality of living for yourself.

<font color="lightblue">I agree with Neb.
Most of the time; all that bullies want out of you is comedy. For it to be funny to them, you need to react. Give them what they want, and they will keep coming back for more.
If you ignore them, and don`t react, they will leave you alone most of the time. If they don`t, then most probably they wouldn`t anyway. </font>

dont worry.... in the END you WILL have your revenge, even if it isnt YOU who carries it out; one day this guy is gonna PUSH SOMEONE ELSE to far, someone who WILL smack him back, and leave him crying like a baby, and when that happens, you can laugh, and you will have done nothing to 'get your hands dirty'. as Neb pointed out, voilence attarcts violence. even if it isnt you, someone else will whack him, when he picks on them. Then HE shall know fear. you *will* have the 'last laugh'.

So its not alright to defend yourself but it IS alright for someone else to do the dirty work [img]graemlins/question.gif[/img]

hey, Im NOT agaisnt defending yourself, but yes, its always EASIER to let someone else do the 'dirty work', besides, if you have a 'delicate conquince', then, everything works out fine. and besides, WHY shouldnt SOMEONE ELSE beat up this guy?
