Don't know nowadays, but when I was young, I LIKED to fight...and would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime...we used to fight out of boredom.

Didn't always work out to my favor....but mostly I came out the winner...(if you can have a winner when both of you are beat stupid ) :D

I've "mellowed" a lot since I got old...I still don't take any shit from anyone, but I'm MUCH less likely to swing on someone unless I'm provoked...or they swing first.

Did your mom feel better after you hit it? Some may look down on you for this, but I am sure the girl needed some confidence boosting action and nothing can deliver that like a good rogering.

I once kindof punched a friend in the face. He had been making a series of comments about my girlfriend. Nothing to harsh but i eventually snapped, turned and swung without looking. I didn't connect very well, worst was where his glasses where pushed into his face.

I couldn't be less violent, and I tend to put myself above the level of the agressor. The exception is when insultion or threatening someone I care about.

Never been in a fight, or wrestled as a kid. Well, not with boys anyway :p

Well seeing as how I carry a gun on my person everyday, I wouldn't punch someone in the face. If they are talking smack or calling me names, I will just ignore it and continue on my way (haven't had this happen yet) if they get physical with me they will get one verbal warning as I reach for my weapon and stick it in their face. If the fail to comply with my command of stop or you will be stopped, I will not hesitate to stop the aggression and danger they pose to myself or my family.

Having been on the good guy side of things in a jail, I know I don't want to be on the bad guy side of it. Punching someone in the face for saying something is not worth being arrested or going to jail. It helps that I have a shaved head, a beard and can give people the evil eye pretty good. I've had some "unsavory" types come my way at a gas station late at night and all it takes is a good stare at them to make them turn around and rethink their actions.

Usually you need more than just a threat of violence / even a punch to stick a gun in someone's face.

It wouldn't change the fact I'd still where a condom though, probably double bag. Pregnacy would be the least of my worries.

Thanks for the offer though :heart:

Depends on wether I have been drinking or not. When I'm drunk, look at me the wrong way and BAM! When sober someone would have to physically try to harm me or my family and friends before I'd fire off.:Q

In my house, rule #1 is don't piss off the cook.

It's one rule I go out of my way to never break...anymore. :D

Aside from hurting someone in my family I can't ever see hitting anyone for any reason. Having said that if someone did hurt a family member I might do worse than punch them.

That phrase is offensive to Native Americans. Please use some discretion.
