Normally I'd say that I'd only hit out of self defence, or to protect my family/friends/SO, but I've done worse.

There were these two little bitch neo-nazis walking the opposite way down the street in up-town (approaching my brother and I), I knew this because one had a visible swastika tattoo on his neck. One of them saw a girl wearing a classic Indian dress, along with the dot on her forehead and all, across the street. She was adorable, I thought, but not this guy. I heard the guy with the tattoo go "ALAHH ALALALALALALA" while pointing and laughing. I just smiled at my brother (the sheer stupidity of this fascist dog had me reeling in my head), and as we passed them I spun around 360 degrees to gain momentum and pulled off the best "mui-thai" elbow strike to his skull that I could muster up. He went down HARD, and I don't think he woke up from it until we were out of sight. His buddy just bitched about it, and my brother flipped him off and we kept walking.

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.

Nope, not in Texas. A verbal, "I'll kill you" or "give me your money" is enough. By the time it has escalated to a physical fight, it is to late to try and pull a gun. the perp is to close and you risk having it taken from you and used against you.

I'm usually fairly docile, but I do enjoy sparring to get an idea of my skill in a particular area. I don't go out of my way to start fights or even to be in them as I'd rather not engage in such activities. I've left potentially volatile situations (sometimes with great haste).

It would take someone threatening someone I care for to make me react as once I get angry (this will sound Hulk-ish :p), my regard for not wanting to hurt people goes to the wind and I won't care if I maim you. Fortunately, I do not get angry easily at all so it really takes a bad situation for me to reach that. Also having my mother's very short-lived temper is good too :).

Mr. Smith: Because these rich bastards have to be callous and inconsiderate in the first place to make all that money, so when they get on the road, they can't help themselves. They've gotta be callous and inconsiderate drivers too. It's in their nature.

My favorite part of that movie since the lack of using the turn signal is one of my biggest driving peeves :p.

The second time was at a sleepover when a friend picked on my mother for being deaf, I hit her pretty good.

nice.

I'm a girl. So I can hit girls.


Just to set things straight though, I'm not a violent person. I haven't hit anyone since then (I might've been like 13) and don't intend to. Now that I look back on it I realize that hitting someone doesn't necessarily set something straight or fix anything. Kids do stupid things I suppose.

Make love not war!

Something that qualifies my punch as self defense.

ditto. it takes a ton to make me toss a fist, ive been told i have infinite patience. but if i had to defend myself or a loved one, id punch the pope (if he were the one accosting my family).

Well it's not that I have infinite patience. I just don't want to charged with assault and thrown in jail.
If I am not mistaken, if I hit someone in self defense I would not be charged right?
So I will go ahead and take the first hit just to keep myself out of jail.

Haha, and then you woke up realizing that you'd never do that in real life. But when you wake up your 8" penis has shrunk to 2" and the Enzo that was in your garage is now a 89 Honda civic in your car port.

Also, I wear taped glasses and slacks.

Well... I know that there's a few anandtech posters that if I met in person it would be hard to resist to not punch them in the face :)

Unfortunately, before they went after the girl, they pounded his ass into the sand.

He woke up delusional. We are trying to make him sane again.

fixed.

too bad you aren't.

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:

as if.

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

wow, you really can't take what you try to dish.. ok, how's crazy bitch? They made a song out of it that went top of the charts...

I always wondered about the bullseye painted on some people's face, with invisible paint, of course!
