Have any of you ever been into a fight?

CandyKorns · 10-29-2007, 10:19 AM

A real knock down drag out fist fight?

Valrys · 10-29-2007, 11:08 AM

Nope (Yay for 10 letter limits)

spoon! · 10-29-2007, 11:21 AM

Yep.

This kid knocked me over on the bus so I slammed my backpack into his head and we just had it from there. Got kicked off the bus for a few months after, but it was worth it I think.

Haven't been in any since then.

~onyxmoon~ · 10-29-2007, 12:04 PM

i have been i a few acualy.
mostly fist fights with my sister but some with other people over basicaly nothing of course.
but i have never started a fight and never hit first.
i usualy get the best of them though so i guess it worth it.

Edward Strange · 10-29-2007, 12:10 PM

I once killed a man.

Ho ho.
I've been the subject of fights before, however, being a pacifist and painfully aware of my withered body I decided to be the better man and walk away.
Except this one time when I ended up scream-weeping and hitting this rather unpleasant ass hat with a french text book.
But I don't like to talk about that. >_>

Edit: Having mentioned that it's made me think back to my childhood and just how unpleasant children can be.
Still, it gives me a small measure of joy when I remember that almost all of them are now doing nothing in particular or petty crime for the rest of forever.
And the circle of life goes on.

Breathless Horror · 10-29-2007, 12:32 PM

Yes, though nothing too serious. I have also never started a fight. Ended a couple, yes, but never started one.

Edward Strange · 10-29-2007, 12:40 PM

Which is probably the right way to approach these things.

WarumonoLady · 10-29-2007, 12:49 PM

In second grade this kid called my mom fat and I punched him in the stomach. He began to scream bloody murder. Not that I was particularly strong; it was just that he was the biggest wuss in the whole school. The teacher came over and told him that if he kept his mouth shut, people wouldn't hit him, and then we went to gym class. No one punished me. Erm. The end.

CandyKorns · 10-29-2007, 12:54 PM

Well, someone I know just keeps basically ASKING to fight me, so, idk, maybe I should, and just get it over with. IT'S SO ANNOYING, I'm sick of it though! Maybe I should just fight her and let her know where I stand.
I've never been in a fight before though because I'm a mature person and believe that there's more intelligent ways of solving issues. But this person pretty much has the mind of a 12 year old.

Miss Cogs · 10-29-2007, 01:39 PM

I have never been in a fight. I choose not to get in one nor has anyone tried to pick a fight with me. They are completly useless in any manner and it just so that we always revert back to our animallist insticts of turning to violence against those who threaten us.

Civialized my ass. -_-

Christina_Death1334 · 10-29-2007, 03:34 PM

I used to be quite violent. But that changed as I matured. (And is still under construction) If somebody were to hit me right now, I would just stand here. Why would I want to fight? Is it really necessary? No. It's not.

kimaru · 10-29-2007, 03:49 PM

I've never been in a fight but I've had my ass kicked pretty good a few times. I hate to hurt other people...unless the ask me to.

Edward Strange · 10-29-2007, 03:52 PM

Aggression only breeds aggression, yo?
If you really feel the need to fight, learn some throws and holds (aye-ee) judo, which is a little more...
Anyway, there is less potential for bone shattering violence, you get your point across and the hellion who is bothering you gets flagged down as the gibbering spitting hell-spawn she really is once at the mercy of you self-defense moves.

Once again, aggression only breeds aggression. Violence being the last refuge of the terminally thick. So being able to control a situation with a limited amount of force before it gets really bad is certainly very handy, but should only really be used as a last resort.
It's what the police (are supposed to) do, dig?

I really wouldn't fight her just to shut her up. It really isn't worth it. If you are presented with no other choice (such as self-defense) only then would I have you consider violence a serious option.

Valrys · 10-29-2007, 03:56 PM

I just remembered about a fight that didn't involve me, but happened at my old school.

Basically, this one guy got really pissed off with someone that everyone disliked and thought was a complete dick, and he had a pretty nasty fist fight with him, doing him a fair bit of damage if I recall correctly.

Or Deputy head dragged him to his office, shook his hand, then said
"I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to punish you for that."

Turns out even the teachers didn't like that guy xD

MollyMac · 10-29-2007, 06:42 PM

Been in a few, long ago and far away.

DepthsofSpace · 10-29-2007, 07:59 PM

Not really, though some of my friends and I have our Fight Club moments and go out, but usually stop before anyone gets too hurt. I have a permentally chipped tooth from one of those episodes.

DarkPrayer · 10-31-2007, 01:30 PM

Oh god, yes. 4 fights. One was really bad. I ended up with a bloody nose and the person had a bloody nose, a broken arm and uncontious. I won though!

Throws and trips are actually quite dangerous if done properly. A well-executed throw or trip makes the victim's head and neck strick the ground first. The amount of damage you can inflict with a throw is only limited by how hard you pitch his ass at the ground. If you really mean it, there's a fair chance that you can fracture a skull, give major concussions, break the neck/spine, and of course, kill them. As odd as it sounds, you're less likelly to accidentally seriously hurt someone with fists, feet, and elbows.

KontanKarite · 10-31-2007, 04:10 PM

I have only ever been in two serious fights. Both of which were a draw I guess. It started consecutively. I was in middle school and this guy sexually harassed me, so I tripped him and then he tripped me, so I kicked him in the face. He then sorta got on top of me and tried punching the back of my head. His punches were so weak that I was worried about him.

Then his friends tried to start some shit. One of his friends ended up getting kicked once in the throat and that was that. The other friend tried doing some shit and I kicked him in the butt and then I tripped on this cable and he tried ground pounding me. Oddly enough, he kept missing. I don't get it. The fights were lame, really.

maggot · 10-31-2007, 09:58 PM

One time I beat the shit out of the black shit for being an obnoxious bitch.

Then the school administrators told me I was clearly both racist and sexist.

...Fucking morons.
And all the trouble I got into was that I got the last week of school off, if that even counts as punishment.

Another time on the bus I spat in someone's mouth.

Another time someone kept faking punches at me and smirking, and eventually actually hit me, so I kicked them in the ribs, and they were on the ground.

Yep.

Broken arm and unconscious? So, did you go to juvie for assault or what? Did the family sue you?
I'm starting to think you're a mythomaniac, DarkPrayer.

I haven't been in a fight brought on by an actual desire, on my part, to avenge wrongs perpetrated against me by a given individual, or by the desire on the part of a given individual to avenge wrongs perpetrated against him or her by me, since grammar school. I believe I went 1-2 in those.
Any subsequent fight in which I've been involved has been a conflict spurred by an exchange to the effect of,
"You wanna fight?"
"Sure, let's fight."

Edward Strange · 11-01-2007, 08:40 AM

Okay, I retract my earlier comments about the throwing and holding on grounds of my own screamingly severe stupidity. ><
Just because I know how to land on the deck with as little damage as possible doesn't mean anyone else does.

I suppose I was hoping that a disabling throw and grip would 'end' the conflict without further violence until a figure of authority arrives to sort things out.
However, the simplest and best way is to simply -not fight-, as it is rarely an enjoyable activity.

I don't know what mythomaniac is, but that person REALLY tried to hurt me. As for the broken arm, it was because I punched her in the face and she fell over, twisting her arm on the ground underneath her body. Then she got all angry and used a baseball to hit me in the nose super hard, so I had to do SOMETHING. I guess I must've pushed her in the spu rof the moment, because she hit the stone wall with her head and...you can guess the rest. Either way, Victoria is alive and well. Oh, she had MAJOR ADHD which is why she attacked me. I have never started a fight before. By the way, I am not mythomaniac at all. I guess I seme like it, but I'm not. I haven't had a fight since age 11 and would like to keep it that way.

A truly noble thing to do, but it can have some severe consequances. A friend of mine, Thom, stepped in to protect his friend that was severely outmatched, but he didn't fight per se. He just stood in front of his friend and literally took every blow that was meant for the other guy. He ended up with a major concussion from being kicked in the head a couple of times, and he couldn't do just about anything without pain from bruising for a couple of days.

As to hitting the deck properly, that stuff can save your life. I once jumped/tripped off a low balcony. My foot caught on the railling, I'm not quite sure how or why. If I hadn't been taught to roll, I would probably have snapped my neck on the pavement 3.5 meters below.

Crying_Crimson_Tears · 11-01-2007, 05:48 PM

I have been in fights.

One was in defense of my brother. No one hits him and gets away with it.

And one I was defending a little kid from this fat ass bully who rode my bus.

Then there were others. Not many though. A lot of people know I have been taking karate for 8 years. Which to people I guess is intimidating.
