If you find gun ownership shocking, are you in for a surprise. Welcome to the Dope!
I don’t fight fair. Period. Even without a weapon I don’t fight fair. I get it down to the ground and go right for the eyes or whatever else I can grab that will cause excruciating pain. I got tired of being a passive punching bag a long time ago.
Did you ever consider what happens when someone rips your eyes out?
Incidentally, if someone follows me after I walk away, what do I owe this person? A fair fight? Hardly.
I’m not an “internet tough guy”. I simply know what I would do. Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.
Not shocked at all. Just surprised you might refer to it’s use in a ‘fight’. I thought such things ended in the OK Corral, even in America? ( Excepting where drug and turf wars are involved, obviously! )
This. If you start huffing and puffing and talking shit then I’m out of there at the first sign of trouble, but the truth is that if I know I have to hit you I’m not at all above doing it first and doing it viciously unfairly in the most damaging way I can think of. There is no such thing as a fair fight or being gentlemanly when it comes to protecting yourself. I’m not the Marquis of Queensbury.
That being said, you never know with military guys. Better just to buy 'em another drink and thank them for their service.
Having worn one myself, I’m not overawed by uniforms.
Would I fight a soldier? No. Would I fight a barista? No. Would I fight anybody? No. On a person-to-person basis, fighting rarely solves anything. It doesn’t prove you’re a real man. It proves you’re a fool.
Yes, but sometimes others are out to use you as their own proof. No harm in being able to prove them right in a different fashion.
Whatever happened to Kwai Chang Caine? I used to love that fella!
“Ah so, Master Po!!!” 
He switched careers, and he changed his name to Bill. The bride killed him. :eek:
It wouldn’t change a thing. I don’t do fights over arguments because I find that to be extremely stupid.
I can see at least two ways you might have meant that, so I don’t know whether to agree or not.
Actually, I came back to this thread because I wished my last two lines had been different. If I said that confrontational stuff to a person who wanted to fight, I’d surely get a klop in the chops. I had intended to be vaguely humorous, getting Sam I Am in there somewhere.
It is better to be able to respond in a way that saves your bacon than to respond in a way that allows your bacon to be crumbled.
And that being said, I’ll take on any barista you know at any time for any reason. C’mon coffee boy, put up your dukes!
