I honestly don't know what to think. In many ways, I disagree with your decision (there are many things intrinsically wrong with what you did), but I think I can see why you might have chosen the course you took. In light of that, let me give you this advice. If you're faced with a situation like that again, follow your heart and your gut, and throw a little thought into the process as well. Don't be afraid.
 


<< the wife was suicidal. id rather see someone being beat up than someone comming suicide >>


That has nothing to do with it, do you think your roomate deserved to get beaten?

i ran toward the door, but i heard the wife crying and she clearly did not enjoy the fight... so i thought about it and decided tos tay out of it
 


<< it may not have anything to do with it, but how can you overlook that fact as you just did????? >>


overlook what facts? you are not bringing me any facts so I´m asking you, do you think your roommate deserved to get beaten? yes or no
 


<< the wife was suicidal. id rather see someone being beat up than someone comming suicide >>



The wife was not suicidal. Someone depressed enough to be suicidal isn't going to snap out of it if they get to kick the crap out of somebody.
 
I don't think that harboring an illegal alien should be a bannable offense.

Having said that, violence, even between 2 women is not really acceptable. You really should have done something to stop this from continuing. Violence has a tendency to escalate, and the unintended consequences of minor skirmishes sometimes become irreversible mistakes. I don't know all of the facts, but I just think you should have done something more than post on these forums.

Regardless of all that, welcome back 🙂

 
First of all.

I'm Korean, and I don't think Culture has anything to do with the Decision he made I want that to be VERY Clear.

on the other hand, i'm not sure if i wouldn't of done the same thing.

Course one can never till unless they are in the situation themselves. very often we act differently then we say we particularly in an online forum like this.

finally the mod shouldn't have banned him for posting that. isn't that the larger issue here.

what if i post about an action i commited that was CLEARLY not illegal but didn't agree with the Mods Morality, for example what if i posted I had just had Puppy Soup and a MOD was particularly offended because of this, would that give the mod the right to ban me for just posting that?

Puppy Soup? And you didn't save us any? That's IT, you're banned! 🙂

you have a point there, but you should have interupted her.

How old is your roommate?
 
I don't think you should've been banned...and I'm not sure what to think about your situation. I don't know. I don't know what I could do other than say "Hey, stop beating up my roommate." since I'm exactly gonna fight a woman.

And if she's suicidal...it has nothing to do with you. Just tell her not to stain your carpets.
 
ok,

but I still ask you this very simpe question, did you think your roommate deserved to get beaten for what she did?
 
if i had gotten involved, it would have been more ugly, im sure. just htink about it, a wife releasing every bit of anger that has build up inside her for over a year. even if i had held her down an hour, shed get back up and get to my roomate somehow
 
Great, now get that illigal immigrant out of your house and out of this country, we have enough problems getting jobs without people being here illigally and undercutting our wages, causing us to earn less.:disgust: I'm not really laying the blame on you, because if she wasn't living with you she'd be living elsewhere but you are supporting her illigal actions, which does bother me.
 
Czar, its pretty obvious that I think she does deserve it. Wouldnt you? just look at all the pain suffering and trouble shes caused. think about her two kids! they must be having a pretty screwed up childhood seing their parents fight every day all day.

what the F do you want me to do. Tell on the landlord? shes the one who accepted her in the first place. you want me to call the cops? so the landlord can then kick my ass out of the apartment, causing even more trouble for me?
 
Look, it's one thing to let someone take a well-deserved butt-whipping. It sounds like your roomie did deserve at least that.

It's the 20 minute beating part I have a problem with. I've seen plenty of people (guys and girls) fight, and most were a long time coming type of thing, where one person asked for, and eventually got it. That's fine, but I've never let one go on and on and on......etc. After one person clearly is beaten or has given up, it's time to stop it, before someone gets really, really hurt. I've personally stepped in several times, and would so again.
Sitting inside and listening to something as severe as you've made it out to be reeks of cowardice.
 
Oh wow, this thread sure has a lot of holier than thou participants...

He had no obligation to help that other woman out, she has to accept the consequences of her actions. The dumb b!tch got involved with a married man and she got her ass kicked by his wife...the winner gets the prize, and the loser can enjoy being a loser. Very basic behaviour present in all humans and a lot of animals, and it's not like this roomate of his didn't know what she was doing, since the wife was calling her almost every day. If I was the wife, I would have beat the crap out of her too...then I'd report her to the INS after laying the smack down. 😉 I know if I found another guy with my wife, I'd beat the living fu.ck out of the guy, then cut his co.ck off and shove it down his throat. I'm very sure that the a lot of the stone-throwers here would do the same thing, if they found their wife/husband with another person. It is human nature to fight for superiority, ownership, etc. People who say they wouldn't do that are probably the most likely to do that.

Now if it was a guy beating up the woman, that is another situation, and I would have certainly would have stepped in. But woman vs woman, especially in this situation, I'd definitely let that one go all the way.

From the original thread..........



<< I was so mad I couldve borken the door down >>



I was into the whole thread seriously, until I read that he tried to borken the door down...........Been LMAO for 10 minutes now, I think I'm getting slaphappy or something, cause borken sounds hilaious every time I think about it........

Thank you, I just didnt want to state something which I wasnt 100% sure of. So basicly this is the reason you did not do anything, because you wanted her to get beaten, that is your opinion.

But think of this
The marrage was obviosly "broken" before your roommate got into the picture, otherwise the husband wouldnt have done anything. To put it simple.
Husband: Guilty because he did not care about the marrage and did not want to fix it.
Wife: Somewhat guilty for the marrage to be broken.
Roommate: Guilty of dating a married man.

It is very obvios that the problem began with the marrage, and its obvios the biggest problem is the husband, the other two are not major decision makers in this.
