<<I find it funny that you cut people off and your suprised that they follow you. A friend of mine followed the guy til he stopped and beat the sh!t out of him when we were in HS. Sometimes you get what you ask for.

I forgot! My pals and I did that too except the guy was 40 or so and I couldn't believe my friend whuped him.

And Gopunk

If you get a gun you might want to think twice unless you plan on using it most people get pretty pissed off if you draw a gun on them. not to mention if they got a gun already who's to stop him from shooting you the inexperienced gun owner that might piss himself before taking the safety off :p

if i get a gun and some guy's about to beat my ass, i'm fully prepared to use it. might actually enjoy it. if they have a gun... hopefully i'll see that and just back up over him.

i'll put it this way, if he's walking towards me with a gun in the first place, i'm going to assume that he's going to use it, and i figure i'm better off with a gun than without in that situation.

I had no choice, the lane was merging. How was I supposed to know that the 4 Runner next to me was going to try to race me? He didn't rev or flash hazards at me. Obviously had I known that he was going to do that I would have let him go. I have no control over if people are going to be freaks.

At anyrate, I'm glad you think cutting someone off is justification for physically harming someone. :disgust: If I beat up everyone who cut me off, I'd have no time for anything else.

Thats cool, Im not saying he was right Im just saying be attentive/considerate when you drive. Sometimes people merge in my lane and cut me off and I see them talking on their Cell. Also, if you do buy a gun make sure you intend to use it and know the consequences. Yes, I have another story:p 3 of my friends were fishing when 5-6 big Samoan dudes came up to them and started harassing them. They wanted my friends beer but my friend said no. They started beating on him til one of my friends had enough and grabbed his rifle from his car and shot one of them. The gang grabbed their friend and ran so my friends took the guy that got mobbed to the hospital cause he was hurt bad. Whadayou know, the thugs were at the SAME hospital so my friend that did the shooting got arrested. Moral of the story, dont carry a gun unless you intend to use it and can live with the consequences of possibly taking someone else's life.

Bye now...

You possibly could have SLOWED DOWN?!?!? I'm not saying you should stop doing what you do, Im just saying you know damn well what you do pisses some people off and the you act suprised when you run into someone that acts irrationally. You can be angry at me if you want thats cool, Im just being Devils advocate.

P.S.- Happy New Year

He got busted for "Aggrevated assault" I think. I forget cause we were still in HS when it happened a LONGLONG time ago and we werent close friends. I know he got put in Detention hall for like 2 weeks then he got sentenced to probation but thats cause he was a minor. I'm sure things are far more strict now and Im assuming your a MAJOR:p I mean adult.

By the time I figured out what he was doing, I was already ahead of him. Slowing down at that point would have made the situation worse.

At any rate, I don't believe I "act suprised." But then again, since you seem to know everything, you probably also know my reaction at the time of the incident. I mean you're already telling me how to drive during a situation you weren't at from the leisure of your own home.

Gotta love it when a self ascribed knowitall criticizes you for not planning and thinking through split second decisions.

Yeah, my grandpa cut off this guy on the way back from Lake Michigan or something. Anyways, on the way back, my dad was following my grandpa and this guy was following us.. So, my cousin was in the car and so we both looked back and he gave us the finger. Lucky me, I had my digital camera on me along with one of those mini-whiteboards for pictionary (hey, it get's boring in the car). So, we both turned back again, with "Smile" written on the whiteboard and I took a picture of the guy and of the guy's liscense plate :)

When we got home, we called the COPS on the guy.. It was a fun time that ride home :D

Next time just pull over and see if he pulls over and gets out. When he gets out, gun it. If he passes you, ride his ass for awhile and see how he likes it :D
