[QUOTE="fastesttruck"] I'd rather see them just get rid of the "Down" and just have users vote "Up" or not at all. No need for all that other stuff IMO Video_Game_King

No, that's a bad idea. We need something to combat the "XBOX RULEZ GAYSTATION 3 IS TEH GAY comments you might see in articles.

Oh he won't go with diplomacy? Well it's more a back up thing, that way you can't get in trouble from the parents :P. Otherwise, ask to fight him and he's got 2 choices: He can refuse and lose face, or fight you and get his ass kicked.trentman7

[QUOTE="wallymartin"]My suggestion: Diplomacy first.

Sit him down, nice and serious. Tell him the problem, tell him you don't like it, and tell him to stop. If he says yes, great. If he says no or more likely laughs in your face, grin, tell him okay, and walk off. The next time he does it, he has essentially given you permission to kick his ass. Do it every time until he learns.trentman7

That's why I am thinking a more acceptable version of fighting, aka a set up boxing/bare knuckle match, would be the most diplomatic way (Isn't that sad?). That's my brother for you, but even then he will probably refuse to do that with some lame excuse like: That's a waste of my time! This is the same kid who has beaten every big game title I can think of, and then some. I guess I'll just be hopeful that the next time I get a chance to react, so that I can finally do what needs to be done.

Otherwise I might have to just lay down some cash for boxing gloves, which I am willing to do so that I don't have to pay with brain damage and/a concussion if he does this crap again.

my friends and I were driving through the New Jersey Pine Barrens, and our car broke down at like 2 in the morning in the middle of it. Not fun.ethanpaige

I know how ridiculous it is to bring this topic here, but I don't really want to make an account on some boxing forum or whatever, so I might as well quickly get some opinions here.

My older brother seems to randomly go into these spazzy rages, where he just starts screaming aggressively, and, usually, in the end hits me from behind or attacks me randomly up until I actually get mad enough to fight back, and then goes away.

I'm not saying that I don't annoy him sometimes, but every time his reaction is unjustified and completely over the top.

Anyways, my problem is this: I have actually done boxing training, and know quite well how to fight. My brother on the other hand, cannot fight well, does not know how to use both his hands, and once even landed 13 or so consecutive blows to the back of my head, without leaving noticable damage whatsoever (which is quite simply remarkable because I wouldn't describe myself as big or tough). As said before, these attacks are almost always from behind, or from an angle that makes it impossible for me to defend myself, let alone see them.

Last time he attacked me, he blind sided me in the temple, which started a chain reaction of my head hitting the mirror I was standing beside it, and then the mirror's shards going into my foot. Needless to say I now have a big yellow bruise on my head, and am angered because in my brother's eyes, he is now tougher than ever, and I got "rocked". He's the kind of guy who thinks he always gets the last laugh, so I would have to knock him out in my opinion if I did fight him. Now two brothers fighting is despicable enough, so what do you guys think I should do? I could just wait til it happens again and fight back for once, rather than just push him away and take the weak blows, but if it's another cheapshot like last time, then that's just dangerous. His attacks are cowardly, and he purposely targets me when I am around breakable stuff, or when I am holding something so that I will hesitate to hit back in case something should be broken. Should I just instigate a fight myself to stop this crap?
