Is Violence Actually the Answer?

Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

all a bully really needs is a good old fashoned ass beating. failing that, expell them and put them in some sort of reforming institiution for a very, very long time.

^ Yeah i know hahahaha! I was trying to talk smart.. Well unless your super super good at insults and hit the tender spot, then you could really hurt his feelings and MAYBE make him cry.

Hah!

If they're giving you shtick, give some back. If they get all punchy with you, get punchy back. Tit for tat.
 
Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

when i was in school when everyone teased me i was one of the few people who didn't have their parents divorced most other coll kids did have divorced parents. people bully others since they never got love they haven't got any to give. people who didn't recieve something have only the opposite to give.
 
Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

I've been bullied (I don't know many who haven't experienced it at some point in their lives) both at school and at work but I don't know whether violence is any sort of answer because to answer something is to resolve it - very rarely does battering someone resolve a situation entirely without some simmering resentment on one side or another or a grudge being held, even if never voiced.

It can be used as a means of escaping a situation, I believe, such as defending oneself - I have been in more than one situation where the only route of escape has been to use violence against the other person but it did not stop that person doing it again at a later date.

I was called into school once because Jessica had bitten someone - I hate biting and was very surprised she had done it. The teacher had laid into her already so I asked her why she did it and she said it was because a bigger child had pinned her arms and was constricting her breathing so the only thing she could do was bite down on this child's arm to get her to release her. The teacher hadn't even bothered to ask Jessica why, she'd just yelled at her so I said whilst I wasn't happy about the biting, I completely understood why she did it and told the teacher that in future I would expect her to check both sides before picking a kid to yell at.

I've told Jessica to always walk away from trouble if she can and never to start anything but if a bigger child picks on her e.g. hits her then I've told her she had my full support to defend herself if she needs to. I won't discipline her for protecting herself from further harm from someone twice her age and size - two thirteen year old boys attacked her while she was with her friends with sticks. Her friends ran and left her so by the time she got home she wasn't looking too great - so I told her if it ever happened again run for help or kick them in the balls and then run. Scream, kick, bite - anything you need to do to get away. Make some noise, cause some pain then run to safety - as I would expect if a stranger tried to approach or handle her. Then I said to point out those boys to me next time she saw them and I'd batter the crap out of them to see how they like it :devil:
 
Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

I think we have all had to deal with people picking on us, some more than others. I myself had my self esteem shattered as a child and was very reserved. to this day I hate having any attention drawn to me and I still suffer from extream social anxiety. I hate being in public and I dont know how to deal with people. needless to say this has been a major problem in my life, and still is. Iv never had a real girlfiend, have very few real life friends, and never feel truely comfortable unless I am in complete solitude. the only real social interactions I have are online because this is all I know how to deal with.
 
Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

Yeah I think we found teh way out of teh t00bs. when I woke up I was out anyway.

thats me thoguh people are starting to be my friends when i speak on aim but it's no wonder i got L as my dn character. i can handle being alone and like it. but one thing i can't stand is no noise. i go mad if i'm not hearing something. otherwise i'm good. i feel good online since people can't really bully others and if they do they are joking or you can silence or report them. sometimes when you really think about it, it's easier to get a friend onlone than in real life, except those stupid people who never talk and seem to be bots that are designed to make whatever your doing filled with life. I've had bullying problems but words not violence. but my best friend left me :'( but one thing i hate about "cool" kids is that they are many. so elections for the class representative becomes a popularity contest? I wish i was in fable so i can go to the weapon shop tell the owner you'll borrow a dagger. kill the kid go out of town for 10 minutes then come back in and a new friendlier kid comes in his place. Besides with the personality i have i'm very different from others (i think of art and creations and stories in my mind to pass the time.) I'm also a little shy to get up and get friends and besides i don't really want a girlfriend and it would take months or years to find one that has my personality.

Grapplers?

They use Their own body against you. Its more Manly then any others most likely.

Ninjutsu is Grappling and Ninja's use to train it, Hense the name. So how can THAT fighting be Dis-honourable? :rolleyes:
 
Re: Is Violence Actually the Answer?

Any type of fighting that doesn't involve your fists and your fists only is what I call dis-honourable/weak. I hate people that kick, grab, headbutt, knee or take you to the floor and keep hitting. Doesn't prove anything.

Really?
I live in quite a rough area, it's always like that. You do anything but punch in a fight you known as "*****" or a "puff".
