As I stated earlier, after the shit talk has already taken place all it takes for some people is for you to say just one more thing (no matter what it is) or come within a proximity of them in order for the fight to break out. This is due to the rage having already taken over one's judgment. Toss that fact in with the possibility of weapons and now the risk you are taking is your life. It's best to just eat your words and walk away sometimes.

and ya, the greater risk is most certainly the initial trash talking. No dispute there.

One of my friends as we were walking past said 'why don't you try moving the fucking car?' To which the guy said 'you got something to say bitch? blah blah blah...' At that point I turned around and yelled 'Hey man we can't understand you. We don't speak JEW!'

Yes it was childish but that's what came out of my mouth. So my friends and I wait in line and eat in-store, and we notice this guy is still outside in his car. We figure he was waiting for somebody else. We were there for at least an hour and he didn't move. So we walk out of the store and we here from the guy's car "hey lovely human wanna talk shit?!?! Say it to my face!" Yeah, he waited an hour and that's what he came up with.

Well, we leave and then notice the guy is haulin ass to try and follow us. We basically made a giant loop around the block to screw with the guy and when we got back to cold stone he broke of in another direction. I'm actually a little disappointed he didn't follow further as the next stop was some round-a-bouts that we were gonna just go round in till we were technically following HIM and tail HIS ass when he broke off for a while. But apparently he got bored.

cliffs:
-guy's a douche and blocks traffic
-i crack a jew joke towards him
-he waits an hour outside to call us 'faggots' when we leave
-follows us for a block until he gets bored and leaves

whoa whoa whoa...hold on a second.

are you, or are you not Gay? that is important to know in this story

Gay gets capitalized now? This thread just keeps giving :)

Dude! welcome to the 2008!

also, did you know we have to capitalize God, and even "Him" when we refer to God, or his son, jesus?

my god i actually agree with icebergslim.

if you are going to call someone names you damn well better back it up. But better yet just don't call people such names. i have no trouble calling somone a idiot or basterd whatever. BUT racist, antisemitic remars are way out of line.

You didn't capitalize Jesus. You're going to Hell. Why isn't Capitalize capitalized? Why isn't abbreviation spelled abbr? Why does irregardless get to be a word but irreprehensible doesn't? Language is so preposterous...

Capitalization of the words "god", "jesus", and "him" are out of respect for the subject. It's not improper to spell them with lower case letters, even if you're talking about THE specific "god".

The guy said if you have anything to say say to my face. Op said nothing. He punked out. He isn't a man. get it?

OK, so you grew up in the ghetto, right? Do you know why most people who grow up in the ghetto never leave the ghetto? Because their ghetto attitudes hold them back.

You can take responsibility in these situations without taking risks. Since the past cannot be undone, your primary responsibility after making this sort of mistake is to learn from it and not let it happen again. Don't get me wrong. Apologies are a fine thing and I agree that they are a sign of being a respectful individual.

Unfortunately, there are some really horrible people out there who will react exactly how I describe given right scenario. These people view the whole "be a man" thing similarly to you except they take it further. They believe that in order to "man it up" they need to defend their pride by getting into a fight if they choose to call out someone in response to shit talking despite whether that shit talker apologizes or not. I've seen this sort of scenario happen many times in the past (south florida doesn't exactly consist of the most peaceful people). Apologizing out of hope that you will gain a little more respect from strangers when your better judgment tells you he is likely to be one of those crazies is just not worth the risk.

all your comments basicially make you out to be the same as the other guy, if this happened to you it would seem you would have reacted similar, and either physicially confronted him if he said something back to you or done nothing if he ignored you and go on thinking about how he was not a "real man" instead of just letting the whole thing go

THEN STFU in the first place. Back to the original sentiment. Jesus. You can't just run around doing whatever you want to do without consequences. If you get your ass beat then next time you really will remember to STFU. I can guarantee the OP has never had any real consequences before or he wouldn't have done this. He won't learn from this either I'm sure of it.

while yes you should be able to back up whatever you say. Also be man enough to aplologize when needed. A real man also knows when to let it go.
