Why are a lot of guys here so against fighting?

Can you list some of the positives of getting punched in the face, please?SolidSnake35

Because fighting is for primitive screwheads. The only time fighting is justified is in protection of yourself or for someone in danger.TM_Darkside

i agree with that

I've never been in a fight. Too easy to confuse aggressive idiots. Which is irritating, as I think I'd be rather good in a scrap.Jandurin

If you like to fight, that's cool. Just keep it in leagues and ****, and don't use it as a solution just cause you can.

I'm not against fighting, but I'm against fighting for the sake of resolving issues, cause it's absolutely nonsensical.

I like the way Isaac Asimov (sp?) put it. "Violence is the refuge of the incompetent".

If your the one punching it can relive anger. If your not well, there is no positive.

Of course there are positives. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Respect. Confidence. Feels good to let loose every now and then.

It sure does resolve issues. If someone disrespects you, you keep them in line.

Get a punchbag.

If don't see why you need to fight other people for no reason to gain some form of self-confidence and self-respect for yourself.

That makes loads of sense.

"You don't like me, so I'm gonna kick your ass. I'm sure that'll yurn you around".

All a fight proves is who is better at fighting. That's it. It makes no sense to throw fists in a battle of words...

When you say "fighting" do you mean fists or an actual war?

youll find that a lot of kids here are very anti-competitive in almost every way (except video games obviously)

i think it has to do with the fact that theres a lot of nerds here. alot arent however

When did I ever say fight other people for no reason at all? Oh yea, I didn't say that.

If you're so insecure as to think that your personal integrity is jeopardised when another person "disrespects" you.

Machoism is such a load of BS, especially when it's so petty.

Nothing is ever really proven by fighting. Besides, there's no such thing as "a good scrape" these days because the majority of people who start fights are a bunch of ******s who can't fight one-on-one without having some of their friends jumping in.elblanquito_81

I have never said a battle of words. If you have never been in a situation where you wanna fight someone for a leginimate reason, you need to get out more.

Agreed I mean how much can you possibly know about yourself if you've never been in a fight? :oOverrated_Hero

Since when does not fighting them equate to letting them get away with it? There's more than one way to let a person know you're not to be trifled with.

Fights are only good in terms of self defense.

With that said, here are some reasons I dont like fighting:

1. My opponent can end up in the hospital or even die. So could I.

2. The cops could get called. Last time I checked I think fighting is a pretty heft misdemeanor or even a felony.

3. Girls find it unnattractive when guys fight.

4. I dont really ever have a reason to fight; I am 6'3'' and a large guy, and as a result people are biased against me since every time I have been in a fight, people always give me that mean glare because I am very big, and the people that pick fights tend to be very little (methinx they compensate for something by fighting).

Or you can choose not to participate in a perpetual macho-dickswinging competition. So much for "thinking for yourself" and "non-conformity".

I seriously doubt either you or mac_daddy live lives in which beating up other people and a hard reputation is necessary for survival.

The_Mac_Daddy

You said "when someone disrespects you".

That's generally done with an exchange of words. If they attack you physically, of course you retaliate likewise. But there's rarely a good excuse for throwing the first punch.

And no, I've never wanted to fight anybody. I've had to, but I've never wanted to.

are you going to scream at them in a mean voice? are you going to tell someone?

if you do either, you're a whimp in most peoples opinion. people have to know not to mess with you otherwise theres consequences. but whatever man, if you want to go through life with the possibility of some **** getting away with whatever he wants then thats okay

but being afraid of fighting dosent exactly make you a pacifist. a pacifist isnt afraid of getting hurt. pacifists arent cowards.

So your suggesting more people get into fights to boost their confidence?

I think a fight is the last thing to boost confidence. Just a compliment or a hug is enough IMO. You don't need to punch someone in the face aswell.

Scrapes are good to get into now and again. The_Mac_Daddy

Fighting is the last resort of a mind unable to contemplate a more productive means of expression.

There is no good reason to get into a fight unless you are defending yourself from someone and you have no option to get out of the situation, like walking away.

Why? Because the whole point of fighting is to hurt another person, and if you are good at it, they easily end up dead. There is no excuse for risking that with a justification of, 'scrapes are good to get into now and again.'
