[QUOTE=Trunk] If you consider a person who yells “you stupid” at you from a bicycle someone who needs to be stood up to, you need a new sense of perspective. People who stand up to losers aren’t men. They’re petty. [/QUOTE] You stupid. Now fuck off. ---

**Winston** , who the hell peed in your Cheerios? You’re not actually suggesting Bosda should have physically attacked the human equivalent of a buzzing mosquito, are you? 😕 ---

[QUOTE=ivylass] **Winston** , who the hell peed in your Cheerios? You’re not actually suggesting Bosda should have physically attacked the human equivalent of a buzzing mosquito, are you? 😕 [/QUOTE] Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying, and I’m not going to apologise or back down about it. Sometimes a man needs to stand up for himself and swat those fucking mosquitos if he wants to have any self-respect. I don’t go around advocating violence, either, I’m not a violent person, and I don’t think violence is the answer in most cases. But in this case, I think Bos should have knocked the fucker off his bike and shut him up. It would have been good for him. ---

[QUOTE=Winston Smith] Bosda, you should have dropped that fucking pizza and kicked the guys ass. Even if it backfired, and he kicked YOUR ass, you’d be better off for it. [/QUOTE] I suppose you’re the kind of person who thinks the proper reaction to 9/11 was to declare war on “Terror”. Even if it backfired, and we spent _trillions_ of dollars and sacrifice thousands _more_ lives to achieve no tangible benefit, we’d still be better off for it, right? ---

A moron in jail, if the asshole decided to press charges. But then, if you do end up in jail and the guys there call you names, I’m sure you’ll stand up for yourself and kick Jailhouse Bubba’s ass too. Or, if YOU get your ass kicked you’ll feel much better about yourself in a coma. Really-- that is the WORST advice I’ve ever seen. ---

If it had happened to me, I would want to kick his ass too. But the thought of the pizza getting cold would have prevented me from wasting any time on that guy. Plus, what if he started peddling away? Do I have to put the pizza down on the sidewalk and start running after him? What if I’m not fast enough? Then I have a cold pizza, a flat tire and I’m panting and out of breath and possibly sweaty. The ass kicking wouldn’t be a big enough pay off to risk all of that other stuff. ---

[QUOTE=Baldwin] Nonsense. Regardless of what somebody says to you, you don’t have the right to physically assault him. [/QUOTE] Not legally, but perhaps morally you certainly do. If this same cretin rolled up next to one of your kids or maybe your mother and started in on the same thing and wouldn’t stop, what would you do? There’s certainly no future in starting fights, but things happen and I think that this person deserved a pop in the mouth. YMMV considerably. ---

BTW, I wouldn’t have ignored the bike guy. He’d have pissed me off and he’d have learned about his retarded self, you betcha. He would have _wished_ I’d have punched him instead. ---

If this is what it would take for you to assault someone on the street, you are a moron and deserving of being arrested and/or sued for assault.
