man punched into a coma over a parking space

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

what did he get punched with? If we're talking about a rosco than you could call it sexual assault.

The point is common courtesy. They decided to hold the spot for a friend, so you acquiesce and move on. Choosing to create a conflict is never appropriate in this situation. You can just as easily go get a different spot and avoid the mess. You gain NOTHING by creating a conflict.

I teach basic conflict avoidance to people with an IQ of 50.

Why should someone be shown common courtesy when its not reciprocated? Its not common courtesy to go out and stand in parking spots denying people trying to find parking spots. If you want to hold a parking spot, park a car there.

what about a person who saves a seat for their friend or a whole row of seats. "These are taken". I hate that when I am trying to find a place to sit down, and someone is saving all the free seats. But, I move on. Why start controversy that isn't going to end with me getting the seat anyway?

I'd politely tell them their friends aren't here and I am and sit down.

never seen that happen in real life, have you?

Yes I have. The person saving the seats just got up.

You left out many accused facts from the real case. You then state "his" car implying a man, when you should have said "their" car. I don't know what you think is, but I am a hi scholl graduate.

 

[moshquerade]

Yes I have. The person saving the seats just got up.

And it doesn't always work that way...

 

[zinfamous]

No, what you teach is how to enable rude people.

:thumbsup:

Says who - the seat savers?

I forgot to ask what race they are. Whichever one is black is obviously the more aggressive one.

Yeah right and its always the white one getting knocked the "f" out too, lol

 

[HAL9000]

Absolutely. Self-defense would be leaving. If they weren't interested in a fight, they wouldn't have gotten out of the car to begin with. If they punched the other person, they had every intention from the start to do so if the opportunity presented itself. You make it sound like they had no choice, when they had multiple choices leading up to it and continued to choose conflict. They intentionally assaulted the person and deserve the punishment as set by the ruling government of the land, because that is how laws work.

Definitely not. Defence is active not passive.

If you want to save a parking spot, you better have a car parked there, otherwise its first come first serve.

Until we have solid facts about that case, all the bickering, scene recreations, and hypotheticals are just speculation. Either way he will go to jail for the simple fact he didn't help her after he punched her. Also the woman hit her head on the pavement which is what did the real damage. Now if she did hit him first then he has right to hit her back. He also had a right to question her about why she was standing in a parking spot.

in a perfect world. i am trying to tell you it doesn't always work that way, and i'm not going to jump in, make a scene, and escalate the situation over one damned seat or one damned parking space.
i'm not saying saving seats/parking spaces is right, but sometimes it's best to just let it go.

No it its best to "just let it go" because all you're doing is reinforcing the idea of saving seats or parking spots is OK.

or maybe i'm not into confrontation of that sort. me jumping into the saved seat is not going to stop people from saving seats.

Yeah but M that pendulum swings both ways. She could have and should have given up that parking spot.

Sure it is. If people realized that saving seats meant nothing to other people, then they themselves would jump into other people's saved seats and so on and so on.

that would take a group effort which i don't see happening.

 

[Malak]

No, what you teach is how to enable rude people.

There is nothing rude about saving a spot for a friend. There is something rude about telling them to shove off. Your idea of rude behavior is entirely backwards.

 

[Malak]

If you started caring for other people you would understand how awful you sound. Your attitude here shows how entirely self-centered your perspective on reality is. Acquiesce probably isn't even in your vocabulary.

 

[Jeeebus]

It would lead to chaos. Fire and brimstone. Cats living with dogs. Men kissing other men. Our whole society would crumble and devolve.

People like you should be applauded for your heroics. Kids idolize sports stars, firemen, and Batman. But truthfully, it's the guy willing to go to fisticuffs over a parking space that we should all admire. You, sir, are a bastion of purity in this otherwise filthy existence we lead.

All hail her209, a true hero amongst men.

If there's a spot with no car in it, park in it. If someone is really willing to go to the mat with my car to save it, they will become another testament to the power of natural selection as they are crushed by my 2900 pound metal box on wheels.

 

[her209]

A group effort in that it requires changes from yourself. Its the same thinking why saving a spot in a line is looked down upon albeit it doesn't get as much attention because the victim in the case of a saved seat is the person denied the seat whereas the victims in someone saving a spot in line are all the people who are behind said spot saver.
