Why do some people think its ok to fight?
 

Street fights that is.. On saturday some 18 year old punk kid right out of highschool called me out. Sure I was drunk and I was probably clowning a bit to hard infront of some people. But fuck we were laughing and shit.

Anyways how the fuck does this kid know I wont just kill his ass? He didn't know me from a fucking hole in the ground and I live in one of the most dangerous cities in California. I just don't get some people. Maybe he thinks if he knocks me out hes cool. But not me if I fight im going to try and kill you literally.

It made me think about what happened and ask myself what the fuck are some people thinking? Over a couple words being said hes willing to risk his life or is he not thinking about what might happen? I mean he was completely sober also. It just doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Hes lucky a good friend of mine talked him out of it because honestly I wasn't even mad but there is no doubt in my mind I would have hurt or even killed the guy.

The weird thing is everyones in my ear after the shit happens asking me why I didn't just beat his ass anyway. And im like what the fuck man do these people think fighting is a joke or what? I don't know about them but the thought of seriously hurting someone or killing them doesn't sound fun or exciting to me. I mean fuck I was a bully back in grade school but fighting isn't a joke when you get older people get hurt.

Cos stupid kids watch boxing and think its ok

Funny you'd be asking on GFY, because many of the e-tough guys here think that not only is it ok to fight if someone looks at you funny, but it's mandatory.

I'm sure they'll be poking their head in this thread pretty soon.

How can a man really know himself if he's never been in a fight?

Posturing - I get kids trying to prove themselves all the time - consequence escapes them - they don't think - I'm glad you decided to be the bigger person. It's hard sometimes to walk away.

Quoted for emphasis.

Have you read Sam Sheridan's book? :)

Self defense is one thing but I am with you 100%. I don't see what is "cool" about fighting or trying to hurt others.

Blame the video games... ;-)

These days there are many people that just go out to pick a fight instead of having a good time

Sad but true :)

I thought this was the standard, for all gfy members. :thumbsup

im sure all the faggy mma tv shows they have on tv have nothing to do with it

Some people are just fucking retarded...

Some people are just retarded. Especially in a street situation where no one knows anyone else. You never know what the other person can do. It pretty much takes me getting punched in the head before I do anything. Even then I need a damn good reason.

Did somebody just call me out? Let's go, right now. Whenever you feel tough enough, pal.

One blows me away is the video footage of some guy just standing in line getting some fast food when the person next to him just sucker punches for no reason other than to take what little cash he had in his pocket.

People like this should be locked up for a long time.

What exactly is faggy about it?

So you guys didn't fight?

Dumb ass kids think they have something to prove through fighting. I know you probably would have beat his ass in but you proved to be the better one by not beating his ass.

I got the shit knocked out of me a few times when i was a drunk lippy 18 year old in the bar, and on the other end of it i've now knocked the shit out of some lippy 18 year olds. Then again, I grew up in the center of rural redneck alberta where this was all pretty common and you never really had to worry about getting knifed or anything. After a while I just grew out of it, I don't like getting punched in the fucking head too much, and busting your hands up punching someone else's is about as equally retarded. I can defend myself if I need to, but it would pretty much take a full on attack to provoke that anymore. more people need to hit the blunt, and chill the fuck out...
