Have you ever been in a fight?

Have you ever been in a fight with anyone, a full all out brawl? I've been in one fairly minor one and a real biggie another time, black eye bloody nose ordeal during lunch hour one day.

No, but that's a good thing, isn't it?

How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?

I find being able to defeat people with words is far easier, and healthier for that matter...And I tend to ignore dumbasses.

I've killed three with a rifle, one with a pistol, and two with a knife. How's that for a "fight?"

No, but I have witnessed some kendo matches that were incredibly vicious. I have felt the pure energy emanating from them, and a real fight does not even come close to what goes on there. But I would like to get into a brawl with someone at some point. I'm curious what it's like. Though my pacifistic rhetoric, which so far has flayed people trying to pick a fight with me, will probably make it so that I will never, unless it's with a drunk guy.

Really, I would have thought that would be counterbalanced by your inherent ability to be a smartarse. (JK) :p

None of the things I was in could really be called a "fight", as they usually involved two people holding me still while the rest beat the living shit out of me.

Yes, I've been a few fights. Lost some, won some. The ones I lost, though, the other guy was usually hurt almost as bad as me. I haven't been in any recently, and I'm glad about that.

No, the "pacifistic rhetoric" I cited earlier is actually more sarcastic than not. It is just that it tears at the person's self esteem, and removes their motivation to fight.

Once, in sixth grade. it didn't last real long but we each got some decent punches in. I'd call it about a draw. That's been enough for me since.

numerous times. whe i was little me and my friend and his brother had an arch enemy that one of us was always in a fight with. me and my old friend had an all out brawl once every year, usually over something stupid. and i've been jumped by groups of people (4 or more) about 3 times. i wouldn't call those fights though, they're more like attacks. :mad:

yea i used to have fights with my cousin when we where 9 but where great now and when i was 15 in a class while the head of my year was teaching us a kid said something about my family which really hurt i won't go in to that so i just jumped up out my chair fliped the table and went over 2 him in like 3 sec and he was on the floor the 5th second and i was totaly punching the hell out of him the head of the year could not drag me of him so she had to get senor staff while see was gone the kids 2 mates got up and smached a chair off my back and my 3 mates who where in the class with me it just turned into one big brawl with the kid who started it out cold i thinks that a fight to remember don't worry my backs ok it was only a wooden one which did hurt and broken when it hit me and i diden't get in too trouble because what that kid said went to far and he got kicked out :p

Been in several fights myself, always won. Though that's not really say anything of my strength. It's just that I always fight slimeballs (One does not attack an honorable person), and they cower out after I refuse to surrender.

I've noticed it's a lot like that. Lots of starts fights with you not expecting you to fight back in full. When you do they freeze up because they were not expecting that much aggression, it becomes pretty much a turkey shoot after that.

I fought three male classmates at once and won. ^_^ it helps when your a girl and you get right to the point and punch one of them in the nose. The tried to fight me in class because they wanted to show that they could fight better than me. Also because they were pissed because I wouldn't date any of 'em.

Pretty much. I remember at this party this senior started tearing into this small sophmore in front of his girlfriend. I used the classic "pick on someone your own size". He threw one punch before I was on top of him beating his face in with my elbows.

I was in lots of fights at school. The last one I was 18, someone made a racist slur in my presence and really wasn't inclined to take it back. I am female and I beat a guy up over that. I kicked his sorry ass.
He probably wonders to this day how it took four guys and two women to break it up.
Then there was the time my ex husband tried to choke me. He gave that up after my foot got kind of close to a very small, soft target.
My son was in a fight that was almost funny. This boy thought he'd try to beat up my son, he was sitting on my son's back. He had not reckoned on my son's very long legs, my son kept kicking the other guy right in the butt and the other guy finally just gave up. The other guy couldn't sit for a week! :) I was proud of my son, the one guy I ever knew who could be down and still kick ass!
One time my daughter's now brother in law called her a racist name, so she got hold of him, slammed him into the door of the fridge and said 'Smile when you say that m******fI***r!' He was at the time in the arm, and in pretty good shape.. She used to do stage work and she's a baker now. She's used to throwing freight, any man who under-estimates her does so at his own risk! :)
None of us start fights but we sure do finish 'em.

A fight is something personal. At least that's my opinion. Killing someone is not necessarily a fight, and even in the case that it is it isn't something I would go touting. I'm not anti-military, but I am anti-war. I got a wierd little hang-up about death and destruction.

Just how did I "tout" it? And it's fine with me if you're anti-war, so am I. But we still need a military as long as there are those who would kill us and our families. So I suppose you could say that I have a bit of a hang-up about death and destruction too ... I was one of those prepared to ignore my own feelings in order to bring death and destruction on the enemies of my people. And please spare me the drills about Vietnam ... I've heard them all.

Destruction, I can understand and agree with. Death, I love. Death is the often overlooked part of the cyclical nature of all things. If anything was immortal, the ecological repercussions could be quite detrimental. Which is why we're going to regret all of the life-extension we're doing. Sure, I'll probably partake of some myself, organ transplant and all that, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing fundamentally.

Sounds to me like you're an ungrateful bastard. The men and women who take care of business you couldn't handle should be treated with respect. And I bet he suffers somewhat because of those experiences in ways you'll never have to know.

I don't think you're being entirely fair. Some people, it is true, are ungrateful in the sense you mean. But I myself am anti-war, in that I am against wars without justification. If there is a clear need for a war, then I would probably support it. Take WWII for instance. I support America's involvement, and would've if I loved during that era (though I might've not appreciated the effects of wartime on domestic issues). But I am against the Viet Nam and Korean Wars, and I do not see myself as ungrateful. There was no justifiable reason for either war, and I think it was wrong for the U.S. to get into either. It is circumstancial for me, and might be that way for others as well.

I am a physiolatrist, and do not believe in a soul. Why should death be any different for a bacterium than for a human? Unless everything has a soul, I do not see how anything can. And what happens with things like viruses and prions, both of which are self-replicating? Hate to break it to most of you, but death is physical. Sure, I have no proof, but all evidence is pretty much in my favour. Sorry, I just had to go on that little tangent on reincarnation and afterlife and all that.

Yes, I would agree with you. I'm neither a gun-totin' conservative or a tree-hugging hippie, but I definitely see most wars as being wasteful. Of both life and resources. I'm anti-waste, and so, am anti-war as well.
My comments were due to a rude attack on a veteran here for being honest about his experiences. That's just ignorant.

Sounds like a sound philosophy to me. The end of the road (past Nirvana) for Tibetans is the Void.
I have no problems with a physical death as it just skips all the hard crap and delivers the ultimate goods by default.

Ah hell, who am I trying to kid? I just love to kill people and break things. I attribute it to an unhappy childhood. My parents beat me and a next door neighbor raped me. All my teachers hated me. I had no friends. Is it any wonder that my favorite chant was the one they taught me in bayonet training? "What is the spirit of the bayonet?" "To KILL! To KILL! To KILL!" [/SARCASM]

Nope, never needed to. Not yet anyway. Although I am trained in BJJ. Backed out of one while the fellow kicked me few times though. No point getting in a fight with people unnecessarily especially if their drunk.

I'll probably fight only If I'm cornered or he has a weapon, and he threatens the safety of my friends and family. Last resort.

A punch or a kick or two wouldn't rattle me much.

Beth Gellert

I got into fights when I was very young, and bones were usually soft enough to heal, again. I don't think that I ever started one, being as I've never cared for violence beyond the confines of plastic army men and Nation States. Plus I was always the skinny kid, so it really didn't make sense to kick-off on anyone. One lad ran me into a brick wall for no clear reason, and spent the rest of the week immobile and off school, another pushed me into a pile of broken furniture and pretty much got away with it. This is the way of things, and I've never been much bothered. I was rewarded with pats on the back and free chewing gum for punching the guy who threw me on the broken furniture, so that was nice, but, oddly, it didn't encourage violence in me, as I think that may have been the last time I punched anyone, and it was the late 90s.

Oh, well, I've punched friends, since then, but that's what they're for, isn' it?

N.B. being a veteran does not have any impact what so ever on a person's heroism or respectability as a citizen or on his machismo. Mussolini was a vet., and also a toss-pot. Killing is wrong, the end. I would kill someone if I could see no other way to keep them from killing, for example, the girl I love, but I would still have a job arguing that it was the right thing to do. I can't stand this blind hero-worship of veterans, especially when they rarely fought just battles.

Yeah, I'd say that to their face. What are they going to do, shoot me, cut my throat, break my neck? Disagree? Whatever works for you, I suppose.

Fights, eh? Lets all have a fight, I'm drunk and bored and my teeth haven't been chipped in weeks.

I was in a fight, albeit it may have been more of a boxing match, but I was still in a fight. I got my ass kicked, bu someone who had about 100 lbs on me, and I didn't find out until afterwards, he had a grudge about something stupid. aand about an hour later we did it again, I fared a bit better the second time but still lost.

Well, the guys in my high school seemed to need to beat somebody up to look manly, and they seemed to have decided I, as the weak, feminine-acting guy, was the perfect target. Grr. Having GID in high school was not fun.
I seem to have survived okay, as I'm not dead. At least I sure hope not. If I am, I didn't notice.

Before I got contacts, boobs and braces I got picked on some. Not tons

though, because I had an absolutely foul temper and would fight anyone who

looked at me cross-eyed. After a few black eyes, people didn't do it where I

would notice. After about twenty-something, I managed to learn self-control.

At least about the physical violence, 'coz there's plenty of other places in my

life I have no self-discipline.

Closest thing I remeber was in elematary school. Some guy gave me a very weak blow on the noise, that somehow made it bleed. The guy was so scared, he tought I was incredible pissed. Just found it funny. :p

And to show how witty and clever I am :rolleyes: :

Never been in anything serious. Had many scuffles with my brother that have resulted in bruises, occassional blood and sometimes a chipped tooth, but they don't count.

As far as school, many verbal fights and a few shoves. Nothing serious. I could think of many that I would like to get in a fight with a beat the shit out of though. Especially since the ones that like to give me crap are quite small.

I just don't get pissed easy and would rather not get expelled.

I've been in one or two fights, although I've never won one. I can't hit someone back. A combination of weak limbs and moral refusal to do so. The only time I ever strike at someone is if I just completely lose it, and that can take months to happen, and only lasts a few seconds. There was even one time that I was goaded into it by "friends", but I never struck the person I had challenged. They beat the hell outta me, though. Still, they were in the year above and about twice my size. I don't think my "friends" were entirely concerned in seeing me deal out mighty justice as they were seeing me getting beat up.

Have you ever been in a fight with anyone, a full all out brawl? I've been in one fairly minor one and a real biggie another time, black eye bloody nose ordeal during lunch hour one day.
You want a good fight! Make friends with a S.E.A.L. Then you go to the bar with the full 4 person team and "accidently" start a fight. I can still see a friend, God bless his Rest, with a punk on his back trying to choke him, a twit in a headlock under his right arm and another guy trying to hit him being held out at arms length flailing about like a fish out of water. He tossed the guy at arms length about 5' then reached up and yanked the guy off his back and brought his head up to connect with the headlock guy's head. They both dropped like they had been shot. He then walks across the bar to pull the guy off little 16 year old me(yeah I was under age but when you go in with 3 big guys and an equally deadly looking woman they don't exactly stop ya.) I have never seen a guy go so white so fast as when the guy on me looked up and saw who had him! I couldn't get the guy off me by myself but he couldn't actually hit me so it was kinda stalemate. But my buddy grabbed him and threw him over the bar where he bounced off the back wall. We then collected his team mates and headed for the car (never stay for more than 10 min absolute tops) and just as we pulled out of the one entrance to the parking lot the cops came pulling into the other. It sure can be alot of fun if you have good back-up!

The State of It
22-01-2005, 15:23
I was one of those people at school who never asked for fights (not with fellow students, teachers maybe) and the fight always used to be thrust upon me from absolute twats who would antagonise in verbal manner.

Usually my verbal answer or just to ignore them worked, but often, it simply was not enough.

I never liked to fight, and preferred not to, but when I did get into a fight I had a knack of coming out on top.

There was a kid a year younger than me who would verbally, in my presence abuse my girl in the most disgusting way.

I ignored it for a few days, and I admit, I am surprised how long I kept my cool.

But one day, the names and calling was even worse and I just snapped.

That moment in one's life where the normality of existence that lies on top of the beast in man suddenly roared, if one wishes to put it poetically.

I lost the plot.

I grabbed him in a headlock and smashed his face into my lifted knee repeatedly. In return, I got a black eye from his flailing fists.

The fight broke up, I let him go. He never bothered me or my girl again.

I fought another kid 3 times, a kid who was a persistent, detestable little shit who had a knack of walking up to you and insulting your mother and loved ones or just hitting the back of your head. the first fight took part in front of a teacher who said she would let us fight to let us "cool down and release steam" Another teacher intervened, and the teacher who let us fight was never seen again. My guess is she was suspended.

The second time I fought the kid I picked him up and threw him across the room. This was in pre The matrix days, yet was akin to a scene out of it.

The last time, I really laid into him on the school playing field at break time. I hit him and hit him again and again, and when he fell to the ground I carried on hitting him and kicking him.

Yeah. I was a fucking animal. But so was he. And that school was a fucking jungle.

I left him laying in a heap, and he was motionless. 5 minutes later I looked out of a window and saw him still motionless.

I thought I killed him.

A teacher walked over to him and then tried to pick him by the arm. He was limp, but he regained conciousness.

He did not grass on me, and after that, believe it or not, he calmed down, stopped bad mouthing my mother and family and we became friends.

Funny old world.

Am I proud of what I did? No. I am actually a quiet person who does not like fights and perhaps was a target therefore for the antagonisers..

But they say it's the quiet ones you have to be wary of....

The State of It. I'm finding it hard to believe that guy would become your mate after you near killed him. One wouldn't normally let a beating like that go so easily. Of course he'd get the idea to lay off, but I'd be scared shitless and never want to go near you again.

I agree that it is strange, and I for one still do to this day.

I would not say we were friends to the point of being best pals, but he would be more pleasant.

He was a strange kid, and I've been told he was nice to me because of the beating I had given him. He in turn had then been bullied by others after he was shown getting a beating, which equalled in others eyes as weakness.

Thus, again from what I've been told, he sought my protection from his antagonisers.

The fact we became friends is probably also from me not holding a grudge should the person who crossed me show more respect for me....especially after the beating he took.

He being scared shitless of me was maybe true, thus why he wished to stay on the right side of me.

Replace "friends" with "friendly" and that would probably be a more accurate description of how we viewed each other post-fight.

I am a very calm person, usually. But... if you cross the line you are so gonna wish you didn´t. I havn´t actually been in a violent really serious fight, but there have been times when certain people have tried to bully me around and I kind of put them in place without too much blood shed, on their part...

But I have broken up quite a few fights. I am 16 (soon to be 17) and not very tall but not short either, somewhere in between, yet I have managed to hold people well over 25+ when they have been drinking a little bit too much or so. I just know ways of keeping people down once I want to, considering I´m a martial artist (Shaolin Gong Sho).

But then again, most people around me know that I am dangerous (if I want to be) and therefore keep away from me when they have hostile intentions.

Wow Eichen....you just dont seem like the brawling type of guy. I'd have never imagined you throwing punches and jabs. Be careful doll! I know how those crazy partying Floridians can be! One time when I was in Daytona, I saw a guy pull another guy out of his car window and beat him nearly to death. Cracked him upside the head with a beer bottle and just pulvarized this poor guy. He ended the fight by carrying the guy over to a spot on the strip where there was a median made of sand and dug a hole and put this guys head in it and burried it! A friend and I ran over and dug this guy out of the hole for fear he'd suffocate. He was out cold. I sat there with his head in my lap and cleaned him up while we waited on the cops and ambulance. He ended up spending 3 days hin the hospital.

Be careful!

Have you ever been in a fight with anyone, a full all out brawl? I've been in one fairly minor one and a real biggie another time, black eye bloody nose ordeal during lunch hour one day.

Yeah... Some dude was staring at my girl in a club whilst we where on a date... I went to the bathroom and he followed me in... He told me how hot he thought she was and how he was going home with her that night I just lost it.... I puched him and he fell out of the mens room he stumbled out into some dude... he turned round to face me and I whacked him again... He fell onto a table and I kicked him in the gut he fell off the table... One of his mates came up to me and elbowed me in the face... One of the guys I go to Football with on saturdays saw this and ran full pelt at the dude that hit me and carried him on his shoulders for a few steps before tripping falling with that guy on his shoulders... The bouncers heard a bang wich to this day I'm not sure what that was... They through us out but we still thought for a few minutes I grabbed the guy that I had been fighting with (I think... It all happened so fast) and through him at a wall and kneeded him in the balls and kicked him a few times in the gut until he fell... I waited for my friend who it turns out was still struggling against the bouncers and that guy he decked.

As a result of this I had a fat lip and a black eye the next day... My friend had lost his two front teeth... The guy I was fighting had a bloody nose a bloody lip and what looked like a black eye (he probrbly had a swollen jaw afterwards).. My friend said the other guy had deep gash in his head...

Depends on your definition of a fight. I was the tallest boy in my year, in an all-boy school - which means I got in 'fights' pretty much every day.

Since school, not nearly so many fights.

Although... if anyone knows who played for the Boston United Football Club in .... probably 1992.... I have a score to settle with about 6 of the team, who decided I was sitting in their place in a nightclub one night...

I was attacked on a street once in America during a visit to New York, the guy didnt hit me or anything it was more like he was trying to toss me to the ground like in the NFL, he didnt get to. New York Police officers gave him a lesson with the club. I felt sorry for the guy.
I have one time only fought another person. It was a guy that was fighting my friend and I came over and hit him in the face to let my friend have a chance to get away, it worked but I hope I will never do that again.

I used to fight anything that moved. Drove my mom crazy, but my dad was always so proud his little girl could kick ass. My dad's value system could be a little wonky. When I was about nine I came home upset because the other kids wouldn't play with me. My mom told me if I was nicer to them, they might. My dad told me not to listen to her, because I was beautiful, and beautiful people didn't have to be nice. I think that was one of the biggest fights my parents ever had. My dad always encouraged me to be a tom-boy. We worked on the car together and he taught me to box. My mom taught me how to be a little more respectful of other people.

I find it amusing to see fights. It's just funny to see them pushing, giving bad punches,acting though and all. They just don't seem to be able to fight strategically. I'll illustrate with an example of a 'good' fight for my friend and a bad one for his opponents:

He and a guy at his school (college-like) didn't exactly get along. My friend was at a party when this guy saw him. he and 2 of his friends, one was a big strong guy, 2 m tall, went to my friend, pushed him and started badmouthing him. My friend responded by hitting the big guy with all his strength. They didn't expect this and the big guy was ko. The two others were stunned and my friend used this opportunity to leave the scene unharmed.
