What kind of fights do you pefer
 

I choose Bar Fights, they are the most funn

I don't fight..............it's just really pointless what do you gain from it?

Exactly,what´s the point in them ? They are fun to me,when I watch some other people involved not from my family nor myself.;)

If I´m in,it is not fun at all.

Bar fight,school fight,street fight...in any fight,if you take a strong punch in the head,you fall down,hit with your head,ad your life is over.For what ?

When some idiot tries to provoke me on the street ,stay cool,do not answer to him in a negative way like this " Come on punk,I´m gonna bust your ass ".;)

I prefer not to fight but if I really have to I don't have any particular preference other than that I prefer to avoid guns, because I don't have one with me in this country.

You can get up the next day.

I think he meant,what do you get by fighting.;)Not by avoiding fights.

I may be wrong though.:)

Girl on girl jello-wrestling ftw

He meant what do you get by fighting.Fighting is pointless.;)

I may be wrong about what he meant though.

You can always avoid fighting but sometimes that means getting the shit kicked out of you, sometimes it even means dying, in those situation it's better to fight, even if the chance of success if very low.

Also what AzH said because I saw this chick in black tights and a white t-shirt-dress doing that once and DAMN! =p

The only noble fighting there is is for sport. If someone pulls a gun on someone else, they're pathetic weaklings. If someone attacks someone else and doesn't stop, then that person has every right to defend themselves. You shouldn't have to get beaten up to prove that you don't like fighting. All you have to do to prove yourself as a peaceful person is to not throw the first punch and try to stop any punches from being thrown at all.

Any kind of fight without weapons is alright as I reckon it's an alternative way in settling a dispute. I, myself, enjoy sparring, though it's not so much a fight as it is competition.

What's with all these fight threads lately...

I'd prefer to watch street fights. Riots are awesome!

a street fight, its pointless yes, but its fun for you and some other dude to beat the shit outta each other for fun

lol, boxing and like arranged fighting is awesome. I like the ILM fight league and all that kind of stuff its fun to watch. But just random people not being able solve their problems any other way than with a fist to the face is not my kinda party.

Peace dudes. No really, i would rather be able to settle a matter intelligently and not resort to beating the crap out of somebody (or it happening to me).

But, not everything can be settled so easily, and a fight is really the only way to do it. I try not to get into fights, but if somebody hits me first, they are going to feel a good punch in the face right back.

Right.:)

Fight as a last resort.

My frend got beaten up just because when some dude said to him " Hey you,come over here you ",my friend just rolled his eyes and went by him and that was the cause that this guy attack my friend from behind.Very cowardish.I hate people who intentionally want to fight you as you seem to avoid them.If that is the case,fght.If neccessary,kill.

It was self defense.

Oh yeah,riots are fun.Bunch of kids throwing rocks at the police and then geating beaten up by mass of cops.;)Especially when they need to use rubber bullets. " Look at them damn kids run "

Since when has violence been the answer?

I try to avoid fighting as much as possible but, if provoked or intimidated, then I will fight to preserve my dignity, as such, and to show that I will not be beaten, etc. If I were chosen to fight for my country then, yeah, I'd do it - I'm as patriotic as they come. But I always try to avoid violence wherever possible.

Your dignity ? For christ sake nowadays even for looking other guy wrong he will go for a kill.You fight for your life.

I think dignity is the wrong word. I know what I'm looking for, I just can't put my Goddamn finger on it...

I third that motion. :nodding:

That being said I'd rather have a fight a street fight than anything else. Bar fights end up in you being thrown out and thus they'll turn into a street fight anyway. And school fights, well I've had my share of those and they always end in detention.

I never throw the first punch, but I most definitely will defend myself, my friends, family and possessions. As for watching, meh. I've watched wrestling shows at times when there's absolutely nothing else on; they're okay to watch. Otherwise, I tend to be the party-pooper who breaks up the fight.

I know what I mean now; self-respect. Like you'd want to prove to yourself that you can look after yourself and that by backing down you'd effectively be calling yourself a coward therefore by participating in the fight you'd be overcoming this and proving yourself wrong, preserving all self-respect and your own honor too. I knew what I meant all along, haha.

Right,that´s it.;)

I know I'm not a coward, not rising to the bait just means I don't consider you worth fighting.

I don't fight, of course most of the world is bent on fighting just for the hell of it.:rolleyes: I mean come on...why do people constantly want to get hit and have scars and broses on there body.:o
How ever, I will defend my self, and I'm very good at doing that!

I don't fight unless there's a good reason for it ;)

I tend to try to avoid fights but not because it's wrong. I avoid fights because the outcome is always gruesome. I've been called a monster after people see me in a real fight (sparring is an exception as I don't usually do so well in sparring). Basically, I change in a fight. I become Bloodlust and someone always gets seriously hurt…and it's not me whose usually untouched except for maybe the first hit.

So basically, I avoid fights unless it's unavoidable and if I deem them as a threat as there were fights that I didn't fight back as it wasn't worth it as the attacker was too weak to be considered a threat (their punches were pathetically weak and couldn't hurt me…sometimes…it tickled…).

I must admit that I really hate this question, and here's why:

Throughout History, especially Human History, violence is the only answer most of the time. One example where violence was the perfect answer:

To stop Hitler in World War II as peaceful matters outright failed. He was attacking and taking over other nations. (We didn't know of the Holocaust until late during the war.)

Another example:

Freedom for the American Colonist from the King of England. The King would not give to anything else.

There are many others and some conflicts right now where Violence is the only answer like the situation in Darfur.

Basically, to think that violence solves nothing is foolish cause violence has solved many conflicts in both Human history and in the Animal Kingdom.

I'd say there's a huge difference between a war between two countries and an everyday pub brawl, so don't be offended when I say I'm just going to go ahead and ignore your comment. It has no relation whatsoever to what we're talking about here - you're trying to bring politics into the conversation, which isn't going to happen, but for the sake of conversation being conversation I shall make a reply to it. In the two World Wars, people really had no choice but to fight. If you were called out for the line of duty then you had to fight otherwise you'd face jail. Not only that, but if we didn't fight then our country would have probably been crippled and we most likely wouldn't be here today.

You can't say the same thing about a petty street fight about X sleeping with
Y behind Z's back.

You made the mistake of asking the question:

Seems to me like Talonalus was right to call you out on making such a stupid claim. Ignore it all you like. He has you everso pwnt with that one. ;)

And, like I said, there's a difference between a common pub fight and a world war. You can't help but fight the one, but there's more than enough chance to ignore the other. If you were called out in WW1/WW2, you actually HAD to fight. If you're in a pub and someone challenges you, do you automatically have to fight them? No. You can walk away, and be the better man.

You didn't have that choice back then.

I'm guessing you're still a pup. Awww....

So what you're trying to say is that when someone challenges you to a fight, you do have to fight them? Mate, violence will get you nowhere in life except maybe a night in the cells and a visit to A&E. I've been in fights before, and I've realized how stupid I was to participate in them. It takes more of a man to walk away from a fight. It might sound like a stupid saying, but it takes a lot of guts and determination to do it...

And what if they had you cornered, in a situation where walking away isn't possible and are willing to beat you up or planning to kill you, then what? Would you choose death?

Hey, if Violence was never an answer, then their would be no "last resort" for someone to use violence. However, in a last resort, violence and surrender are the only answers you can choose from and surrender is not really an option for you. In this case, Violence is an answer and will always be an answer. Therefore, my claim that "believing that violence is never and answer, is foolish" still stands.

Some people may think you have guts for walking away but, just so you know, if you walk away from some fights (the more threatening), you may not have guts by the next day…and I mean that literally.

AzH is right, people aren't challenged to fights, it just happens. And alcohol is usually the cause. If some drunk bloke does come up to you and comes at you, if you do turn and calmly walk away you're very likely to get a bottle around the back of the head. Of course you could avoid fights completely, but that would involve never ever going out and socializing, and you'd especially have to avoid places like pubs and clubs.

Okay, first, where do you get off telling me how young or naive I act? For your information I'm 19, I've been out of school for almost four years now and I'm certainly no 'throwback' from Victorian England.

Secondly, where you live affects what happens, trust me. If I happened to live in a city like London then, yeah, I can agree with the scenario about some guy just taking a pop without challenging you. I, however, don't live near any cities or big towns. I live in a small village in the middle of fucking nowhere where, if someone isn't involved, then they won't get involved. If someone in the same pub/room as you has a problem with the way you're talking then they'll ask you to leave before taking a punch or two at your face. This isn't really common, but around here we have respect for other people who just want to sit down for a quiet drink. Call us old fashioned or whatever you want, but that's how it is. I still think that fighting for the sake of fighting is wrong, however.

I think people just assume your age from the relative maturity of your posts, or anyones' posts for that matter.

You can't honestly expect to live your life without ever entering a town or city can you? Lets be realistic here, living in 21th century Britain, you are never far away from a potential fight. That's not to say that its a completely violent country, it's just a fact of life that where people socialize and drink, there are fights. And I'd much rather live in the 'real' world than see mine through rose-tinted glasses.

And if you'd bothered to read through my post, then you'd have read that I have been in fights in the past. I've come off worse in a fair few, and come off the victor in others - but I've since grown up and got past the stage where, if someone pisses me off, I automatically think 'LOL BARFIGHT TIME' or some other crap like that. If someone has said something rude/offensive/demeaning to me or one of my friends, I'd actually stop them and ask why they said it in the first place and bargain with them for an apology, and 80% of the time it actually works. I'm sick of this 'thuggish' reputation Britain seems to be gaining.

No, what I'm saying is that you're stupid to think that people actually get challenged to fights.

'Let's take this outside, shall we?'

'Nay!! Pistols at dawn, you rascal!!'

Sorry pal, but that's not how thw world works anymore. You're either incredibly young, incredibly naive or a throw back from Victorian England when words like 'Honour' actually meant something. If someone takes a disliking to you in a pub the chances are they're not going to ask you to step outside and abide by the rules of bare knuckle boxing. Instead, fuelled by alcohol, their going to go for you there and then. It isn't a case of denying a challenge, it's a case of fighting off some guy who wants to eat your eyeballs. In such a situation - which happens every weekend up and down the land - your choices are thus:

Fight or flight.

And considering flight would be through a crowd of other drunk people so you ain't going to fly very far, it leaves fight as the only option.

Echonomix, people don't challenge other people to fights in the real world. You'll learn this when you get out of school.

I get off on telling you how young or naive you act because you act young and naive if you think that you can walk away from a fight in a bar. Sorry, but I assumed you had never been to one in order to think that you can just say "sorry mate" and they'll say "oh, okay then, buds?" "yeah, buds!"

Not the way it works. Apologies if I got your age wrong, young 'un. ;)

I don't do fights. I would try not to provoke people or look for a fight. If somebody would be looking for a fight I would walk away.

Only if I couldn't walk away and would be forced to do something or be beaten up would I use force to defend myself.
