Are You A Lover or a Fighter

I'm a lover not a fighter. I've never been in a fight in my life. I can't stand confrontation. It makes me cry.
 
There are more ways to fight than with fists. Lav, I think you're a fighter. The courtroom and the legislature are just as bloody, if not more so than any boxing ring. Then again, I haven't heard of any Senators getting their ears bitten in a while, for at least a hundred years anyway. Some of our threads have been pretty violent.

I fight almost every day, though I haven't raised my fists since grade school (if you don't count American Football of course). I fight for what is right and what I believe in. Every time.

I haven't had more than one drink in a sitting for years, so my judgement doesn't usually get clouded, unless of course the drink is "Sex in the Shower", that one gets me every time. Lol.

My brother constantly beat the shit out of me. Helped make me the man I am today.

I wouldn't trade places with him for the world.

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

Didn't think so.

I admitted to getting my ass kicked on several occasions!

The only fight I was ever in - in my entire life- was in 3rd grade.

I'm not sure there is only the choice of being either a lover or a fighter but I am definitely not a fighter.

There is also a huge difference between not being a fighter and standing up for oneself. I'm sure there are circumstances where one might not be given a choice but I've either been smart enough or lucky enough, or both, to not have had to deal with actual physical violence.

I think it might be a generalization to say that alcohol makes men violent. Have there been studies done to that effect that say that for most men it does? Perhaps there have. I know for myself, while it does loosen my inhibitions - and perhaps make me more passionately outspoken it does not in any way make me violent. (Of course it probably comes as no surprise to the people here that I might actually get even MORE outspoken... *smile*)

So... no altercations since third grade. Considering I have lived and worked in NYC - spent many evenings in CBGBs and other places during the heyday of punk - lived a semester (while doing an internship) in the ghettos of Albany - been involved in some heavy altercations during rallys, demonstrations, lobbying and other politico and social type events. Played in bands all over the country and in some pretty scary neighborhoods and bars - I'm fairly proud of the fact that I've never been in a situation that I couldn't resolve without the need for violence.

I must have missed that, and thanks for the honesty.

I just saw this thread de-evolving into a chest-thumping one-upsmanship contest, so I thought I'd throw some thumbtacks onto the racetrack.

Yo Riff, how's it hangin?

Pretty good, actually. Haven't had my ass beat in years! hehehe

Now, I have been totally gaffed on a surfboard, hit so hard on the football field that I liked to shit in my jock, and totally stomped on by females, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures. That kind of clocking never stops, I guess...... :)
 
I hit the neighbor kid when I was around 8 or 9 years-old. We were arguing and he swung at me, and then I hit him. It didn't feel good then, and it still doesn't feel good to this day. He ran off crying, while my adrenaline sent me into another stratosphere, LOL.
 
I'm not a man, and I don't drink...
But in high school, someone would not stop with the racial comments...and when he put his hand on me...he got a fist to his mouth and a knee to his no-no most special place....when he doubled over, I gave him on last stomp..for good measure.

Normally, I'm a laugher.
 
I am not a man either .... but

my man when he does drink he is not a fighter he is rather amusing in fact. He starts getting all mushy with me telling me how much he loves me ... etc... etc...

When he comes to bed its a different story , he gets a little agressive & then all of a sudden he is apologizing for saying or doing some thing. But his "doings" are so endearing... he does not realize it... that is how he is when he does drink.... he makes me smile. :)
 
I don't like to fight, though I'll do it if it's necessary.

I've been in three fights in my entire life, all of them when I was school-age.

I won two and lost one.

I most remember the one I lost. This kid in junior high school absolutely hated me and I wasn't real fond of him either. He had been pretty much picking on me (and was a lot bigger, too), which wasn't tough since I was a year younger than everyone in school. I decided that I'd had enough and when he called me a couple bad names, I mouthed back. He said he'd meet me at recess. I agreed (which, come to think of it, was really not smart, was it?).

At recess we were mouthing each other, giving each other the "macho eyeballs" and such. We got nearly face to face and I saw him tense up. I started to raise my hand up to deal with his punch when he kicked me square in the nads.

Ring the bell, ref! This fight is ovah! Throw in the towel, Mickey..I'm beat!

Yep..I remember that to this very day like it happened just hours ago. :(

Though, I do know I got the bullying bastard back a while later when I managed to jump him from behind and put him in a headlock until he cried. He was physically picking on a girl in the class who was just too damned small to defend herself. Luckily, I got to move first and got behind him before he could put the Pele soccer kick on my jewels again.
 
LOL Pablo…

So are you still mad at me?

Well take this...

"If I get you in my sights...
BOOM BOOM
What is it?
OUT GO DA LIGHTS!"

Now, go get your folding chair and your plasic cup o' beer...



TH - you simply must be more specific, Karate has come to mean everything fighting and asian that doesn't look like Gongfu...

Curious Karate insructor wants to know...
 
I"m not a fighter, not anymore. I've had too much violence in my past. I don't want to bring it back, then again i'm also not a lover. Well not completely, I hold grudges and don't care what the fuck you do to me. but hurt someone I care about and I'll go off on you like you'd never belive.

How many fights have I been in? I have no clue how many people have I been in fights with. Serious fights, meaning there actualy was a 'looser' to the battle (sometimes I was the looser but not offten) about 15 people. Sorrry Lavy no details from me, you want them but I won't publicly display them.

Pat Travers rocked. I still got a bunch of his stuff on vinyl. Saw him play in the Ruby Diamond Auditorium at FSU durning a freaking hurricane in the 80s.

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.

Lavy, what were the events of last evening?

Are you OK?

.
 
As an ex-balcony pisser and alcoholic, Lavy, I've spent many years as an alpha wolf and therefore mabye come out as a fighter, but not physically aggressive.

All I ever wanted to be was a lover. I've no intention of becoming a "sneaky fucker", though.
 
Yeah, but Travers doesn't look like much of a fighter...

Boom boom boom boom
haw haw haw haw...

I burned all my vinyl to CD and then burned all my vinyl...

What are you on about today SIN? Easter Sunday a bad day for you?
 
Huh?

A round of music trivia...

Easter doesn't mean much. I'm more of a native-beliefs kinda guy. But you could answer me one question.

Why do we have 20 Bye-bye Queen Mother threads when one would do. Is it an unfamiliarity with thr English language or do all the Brits just not get along?:D
