What was funny was he asked me if I was going to have my friends do something about it. That was when he got a smack to the privates with a crutch - and the statement. "No I am going to do something about it" Lucky for me he was just a bully and his buddies decided that I was not a fun target for their activities.
    That's a fight? Hardly a get together passes with me and my friends when someone isn't hit in the pills.

    Try it with only one usable leg, and just out of reconstructive surgey for your right knee. The knucklehead was looking for a victim to pick on - unfortunely I wasn't in a mood to play.

    Was it a real knock down fight - no. But futher violence was extremely possible. But it makes for an amusing story.

    Oh but you want real violence.

    I got others exambles of situations where fighting would of resulted in my death, but instead taking the stance of show no fear but not looking for trouble happened to prevent the fight. (age 25) Latino gang chasing a teenager that happen to have a knife wound, that ran to my location where I was working on my mother's truck.

    Or would you like to hear of the time that I choked holded an individual by placing my hand around his throat and lifting him up against the wall until, my buddies that were with me pulled me away. (age 21) Achocal induced violence between two people who were friends. He happened to hit me in the head with a beer bottle.

    Or would you like to hear about the time I got stabbed because of a fight. (age 15) No big deal - I happen to get the better of the fight when I knocked him down and kicked him a few times in the ribs.

    Or how about the time that I shot artillery rounds at Iraqi soldiers in 1991. Lots of blood and death associated with that one.

    Or how about the three times my unit conducted Artillery Raids into Iraq with very little support. Ie we crossed the forward line of troops, went across the sand berm that was 20 foot high made by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq several years before the Invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi, going 10 kilometers into Iraq to raid deep into the Defensive positions of the Iraqi infantry.

    Or how about going into the biggest damn quarry I have ever seen and watching the M1A1's engage T-60's not 200 meters from my location. Now that was an one sided fight.

    Or how about a foot patrol through a bunch of trenches to make sure the area was secure for an occupation by the Field Artillery platoon I was in. A couple of booby traps were spoted but no enemy soldiers.

    Or how about the time that I had my platoon open up on an Iraqi Infantry company because the knucklehead of a battalion commander gave a poor order prior to his going to talk to the Iraqi commander. (Desert Storm) You can actually read about the action (my part is omitted because it just a personal story of the bigger story) concerning the 1st Infantry Division where the Brigade commander told the Iraqi commander leave or die.

    So how much violence would you like in a story about the last time I was in a fight.

    I grew out of the necessity to demonstrate how much violence I am capable of long ago - facing death will often do that for you. But needless to say - your comment got a little raise of anger out of me.

    You and your pals REALLY need to find something better to do....perhaps a hobby or something?

    I am lucky to say, it was probably when I was about 12. And even then, it would have been trivial. I'm very grateful the only violence I encounter in daily life is on a computer or TV screen.

    I am not sure why I have been so lucky - probably just leading a sheltered life, following the axiom of Frederic Forrest's character in the Apocalypse Now "Never get off the boat! Never get off the boat!".

    Never had a serious fight, some brawls in elementary school/ the first years of high school, but I never went all out.

    One of the last times I *almost* got into a fight was when some idiot from my school started threatening me in a club, he said he could call 50 men to beat me up if he wanted to. I laughed in his face that he thought he needed 50 men to beat me up (he was probably in a much better shape than me at the time, not to mention 2 heads taller) and offered to step outside. He never bothered me since. Wuss.

    The Last serious fight i got into was about a year ago, a guy in my class kept shouting hints that i was fat, in fact one time he shouted "Ian;s fat" for the whole class to hear. Well by the end of the lesson i was pretty miffed, I walked up to him as he was going out, and said "What the **** is your problem?...." Pushed him over some tables then smacked him round the face....

    I left with the comment "...I aint that fat"
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    I haven't fought one-on-one for a long time. Last time I had a good fight was back in middle school. I was probably about 14 or 15. It's hard to get a good noble fight these days. Either I'm too nice/understanding or my face is hidious.

    It would be nice if whoever in charge of the class smacked the kid around. Good job.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Why thank you

    Unfortunatly teachers arent allowed to do that anymore, but he got what was coming to him. The interesting thing was that i was taken out of my next lesson for 'Bullying another member of the student body' half of the people in my class walked out and went to the head-teachers office to complain.

    The Guy that insulted me got the detention instead
