Are You A Lover or a Fighter

[lavender]

 

[SINthysist]

honestly,

I love to fight. I love being in the ring.

But I am one damn silly drunk.

Another whiskey and I'll be there...

 

[SINthysist]

PS

Too many altercations to list, but it was my profession...

 

[Gawd]

I'm a lover, My sweet, and right now I'm loving your ass. I never fight, Gabriel does all of My dirty work.

After dealing with events last evening, I am slowly realizing that some men should not be allowed near alcohol. Alcohol tends to make many men violent. Men are so much more violent than women, normally, as it is.

So men, tell me are you a lover or a fighter? How many fights have you been involved in?

I want the details.

I hate fighting. I think it is stupid beyond belief. I think very few, if ANY, situations warrant any type of physical violence.

But be honest, I'm sure in your younger days you had a few altercations. Let us hear about 'em.

No Hijack intended, but I dispute one of your points.
I believe alcoholic intoxication reduces inhibitions( like logic).
It lets people do as they wish.

I don't think it makes people angry, or unfaithful. I think it allows them to act out something hidden inside.

I'm a lover, no matter how much I drink.

The last fight I couldn't avoid was in 6th grade
and it all became clear to me.

The only acceptable reason for physical violence
is to save loved ones or self from grievous harm
that is unavoidable any other way.

Recreational mayhem is the most bizarre thing I
have ever seen.

Lavy, What happened to you last evening?

I'm a flover.

As an adult, I have struck ONE person. A neighbor woman had fled her physically abusive, drunk husband and come to my house for refuge. He came to my door and tried to come inside to continue his attack on the woman. (My wife and infant son were also in the house.) I stopped him at my door and pushed him back. When he tried to get past me again, I hit him. It only took one punch. I then took the woman to the bus station and put her on a bus to her parents house.

When I got home, the man was gone. A few days later, his house was vacant.

I hate violence. But I love a good battle of words and wit.

 

[pabloback]

i always thought sinthesist was just some old drunk

now i know he is punchdrunk
it all fits together now

 

[kotori]

I'm a coward

I usually only fight with inanimate objects that won't hit me back. Although there was the quarterpanel on the '62 Comet.

Lover here.

Last knock down drag out slug fest was in my senior year of high school 1981 and was after home room. Dude behind me kept telling me all through homeroom he was gonna kick my ass. Would not say why. I was really perturbed. OK. I'll say it. I was scared.

The bell rang. I got up and left. As we left the classroom I felt that push on the back the way guys do. I turned around and beat the shit out of him.

Better to go out on a high note. I'll never fight again until I am threatened into it. Not even the guy who robbed me a couple of weeks ago pushed me. He threatened me. But he did not push.

It's important to fight only fights you can win. And only as a last resort.

Can't say I fight drunk either. Easy... easy..... I don't want to hurt nobody.

I have been both.

I played American Football for 7 years, basketball, and baseball. In the Army I played all three,softball replaced baseball. I was in law enforcement for a while. So I have done my share of fighting. I was never very good at it. When I was around 16 or so, I hung out at a rough bar and got my ass beat several times by older guys and men. I was very mouthy.

So I learned a little lesson, don't run your mouth to grown men. Since then I have had a couple of fights that weren't "work" related. Last on was 12 years ago.


I would prefer to be a lover. But sometimes you have to fight, hopefully it is for protection, and not because I ran my mouth and pissed someone off enough to fight!

 

[Ishmael]

Since you asked so nicely

How to answer this truthfully?

By nature I'm a lover. Always have been regardless of any 'altered state'.

On the other hand I refuse to be bullied or intimidated. I stand my ground and usually that has been all that was needed. When practical, I will attempt to go thruough the proper channels, manager, police, whatever.

However I have had some altercations over my life. The only one that I started was my last, about ten years ago. A girl that a friend of mine and I adopted as a "daughter" came to work one day black and blue. She had a ton of makeup on and it didn't even come close to hiding the damage that her 'boy friend' had done to her. She was too frightened to call the police.

As the minutes ticked by I became madder and madder. I called my friend, jumped in my car and headed to her house, unbeknownst to her. I got there before my bud and lit right into the bf. Kicked the crap out of him. My buddy arrived just as I was finishing and he took over while I stood and watched. The bf was out of the state within 4 hours.

The girl went through about 3 or 4 more 'Billy Bad Asses" before she caught on to the fact that she was making really bad choices. While they abused her too, the story about the bf above had gotten around, and no one did any real damage to her physically. She finally got her act together and is now in a very loving relationship with a very nice young man. He adores her and her daughter.

While I'm not terribly proud of the above story, I'm not all that ashamed either. Some bullies really do need a taste of their own medicine.

Laurel, you can be My flover. I'll flover you until you scream My Name.

Bravo Bravo! Ishmael! Bravo!

One of the reasons I left law enforcement, besides low pay, was encountering people that made the bad choices and got hurt. They did it over and over, and the system rarely punished them enough, in my book.

Thank you for a well places ass whoopin'. I know your "daughter" thanks you too!

 

[Svedish_Chef]

I'm neither... just dont ever fuck with something important to me.

 

[Mellon Collie]

I'm neither... just dont ever fuck with something important to me.

As evidenced by you just "riding it out" when I'm all pissed off about something and bitching.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

My Husband is a lover not a fighter when sober or drunk.

But he is a Karate instructor so god help the person the pisses him off so bad, that one day he would strike back.

Only in total self defence or protecting another person in real trouble would he use his Karate skills. Then he would only use the force to subjude the person not actually just kick the crap out of them....

 

[Rambrat]

I withdraw

 

[Laurel]

Laurel, you can be My flover. I'll flover you until you scream My Name.

Just noticed the av...are you saying that Ron Jeremy is Gawd?

The universe is even stranger than I first thought.

 

[tuirin]

I fight alot. But I ve never been in a figth while under the
influence of alcohol. I wont stand up for my self I would just walk
away. But when it comes to my family I would die for them.

 

[Weevil]

Depends on what the situation calls for.

Facing an angry mob, I'm a fighter.

Trying to smooth things over with the wife? I'm a lover.

Faced with a group of angry bikers in a dark alley? That's kind of a grey area.

You'd be a flighter, if you were smart.

 

[miles]

Fighting?

Like, you insulted my machismo and I'm gonna get medieval on your ass?

Like, punching, jabbing, bloody noses and black eyes?

Seventh grade. Dickhead stole my wallet (with my fucking lunch ticket, no less) and wouldn't give it back. Asked him twice and he laughed at me, so I punched him in the nose, knocking him to the ground. He gets up, I hit him again, and he hits the ground.

He gave me my wallet back. Mu-th-fuck-ah.

I coulda been a contenda. But instead I got a cheap feel off Kathy Barton, and decided that was more fun.

 

[Problem Child]

I wonder how many stories we're going to hear about the times all you guys got your clocks cleaned.

Didn't think so.
