Today, I was rather violently accosted by a rather intriguing gentleman

I studied for one year in Intercollege - Cyprus, where the native Cypriots hate foreign students in their guts. One particular "gangsta" took it upon himself to threaten me over some issue which is not quite clear. I got several phone calls at 2 AM telling me to GTFO off Cyprus if I don't speak Greek. At one point he waited for me outside class with some of his friends. He was looking trough the round window and making threatening, "manly" gestures such as smoking a cigarette bud then throwing it at the window and grinning oh so menacingly.

Since I'm not a guy who can take on 3-4 people by himself, I texted my flatmate who is a long time karate practiioner. He took one of our Ukrnaian friends, whom in turn called a Russian debt collector. The Russian was 2 meters tall, with arms like bloody tree-trunks and tattooed all over.

Needless to say I didn't see that Cypriot "gangsta" ever again. However, an alternative solution would be to cave his head in as he goes out of his car, with either a brick or a piece of steel pipe. I was seriously contemplating this. It's funny that they (the Cypriots) also started stuff wit the arab students who were great guys, always friendly and also a close knit community, much like us Bulgarians, Serbs, Ukranians and Russians. I heard someone got stabbed after that bright idea however.

Anyway my point is that bullies only understand one thing - violence and the imminent threat of losing most of their teeth. Don't go all Mike Tyson on him in the university. Show him you can and will track him down off campus and that you have people backing you up. He will either back off or natural selection will take it's course.

It was no bully, Hax offended him. Which I find hilarious.

I didn't read the whole account but he didn't offend him. He didn't go and yell at him or anything, he was discussing something which he should apparently know since he is of that ethnicity. That guy went out of his way to go to THEIR table REPEATEDLY and resorted to physical violence. If this happened here, the first time you'd be told to get the f... away and mind your own f....ing business. The second time someone will smash a marble ashtray in your nose.

Oh Europe, you and your cultured societies...
