Yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. After seeing the terrorist beheadings and the Bud Dwyer video, I don't want to ever see a murder/suicide/etc. ever again.

When I think of the term beaten up, I tend to associate it with a bully in school. So, no, I have not been beaten up.

I have been jumped. I have also lost fights before.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I haven't been beaten up yet and have never been in a fight. I don't want to wreck my pretty face. I'll probably be mugged someday though.

I'm a talker, and almost always very calm/lazy/relaxed in heated situations, so I'm usually playing the classic diffuser role of any tense situation.

I've been in a few dustups, but nothing terribly serious, and I'm quicker than most people so I can usually do enough to hold them at bay/down until I can talk them into reasonableness.

Drinking and loving is always better than fighting, I say....

One of my friends dad was an ex-US marine. And he hated homosexuals.

One night the dad, and a few friends from the army, went "fag-bashing" as he often did on the weekend. Went outside this gay club, and saw this 7-foot tall black guy.

He started causing sh*t with him, and the black dude said "there are two things I like doing, sucking cock and kicking ass".

At which point the black guy single handedly knocked out 3 of the 4 marines, and the 4th guy ran away.

That's the kind of story you don't want to tell to score man-points.

I was jumped by some "gang" of idiots in High School and nearly got my nose broken. That's about the only interesting story I have to tell, and even then...

If you’re going to imitate me, at least do it right. Policía can be either gender, depending on meaning. El policía means ‘the cop’.

I wonder if Steve Ballmer is really a Klingon. He's not getting mad at people, he's showing is affection by throwing chairs at them.

Wait... can you say "on snap" when arguing grammar?

Hmm, I guess.

I’m not sure what ‘off snap’ would be, though …

I am only getting warmed up.

I honesty don't think that Monique would take too much offense to this, however, because she did post it in a public forum.

However, I might be wrong.

I bet if the joke was about your mum getting raped you'd somehow be a little less understanding.

That joke would've worked just fine if it hadn't been set up BY THE PERSON WHO GOT RAPED.

You fail at humor.

Well, I know that posting anything on the internet and allowing people to freely comment upon it, I would not really have a leg to stand on, should someone say something slightly nasty.

I got sucker punched in Fort. Erie (Canada) when a bunch of idiotic underaged drinking americans, (who can't handle their alcohol) started with me and my friends out front of a strip club.

They learned their lesson though as a car door happened to be kicked shut on one of their hands, causing it to um...

You can figure out the rest.

I haven't fought for years but when Someone threw my iphone in the water and refused to pay for the damage done, I wasn't in for an argument about that matter so I hit his face and it felt very good.
Careless people deserve to be hit from time to time, it cures them from being arrogant and might help them get their feet back to earth.
