Have you ever seen a fight in real life?

I feel like most people have witnessed a fight.

What did you think of it?... I hate violence.

This is such a strange question to me because I was in so many physical fights in my life. I almost feel like it is strange that there are people who have never been in a physical fight. Like how?

There are all kinds of asshles everywhere and combine that with my own immaturity as a teenager I struggle to understand how people avoided fights. Like did you run away or did the teacher stop it or what?

Yes. My father got drunk once and attacked my obnoxious uncle.

When I was a kid, I defended myself from a bully, because my father told me to.

Both times I felt disappointed. Disappointed in my father for the first, and later disappointed in myself for listening to my father's brainwashing.

I have broken up fights and been in near fights. Aimless fighting doesn't solve anything.

Sun Tzu says the best warriors can win without throwing a punch.

This is the South! For some reason people will fight at the drop of a hat. It just is!!!

I've seen loads and been in quite a few myself.

I didn't think much about it when I was younger but I avoid that sort of thing now.

I saw some in school and a lot of bloody ones when I worked in a men's prison.

@ScreamingFox *hugs* noone needs to see that shiz. Pretty cool that you worked in a prison though. I bet you were popular :)
@Matt85 it was an enlightening experience for sure lol I've never been popular, but that's the one job I earned a bit of respect doing.
Matt85 · 36-40, M
@ScreamingFox You have (my) respect anyways.
Everyone has. Most everyone has been in one. Happens when you're young. Hopefully you wise up as you get older.
I have. Primarily it was my ex and his grown sons or son against son.

Holidays do not charm me for that reason.

Violence is primal and needs to be eradicated from the human DNA

I'm a little strange, I hate conflict and I hate violence against the innocent, but on some level I like fighting if I get enough aggression up, though I still try not to do the wrong thing while sitting there tempted sometimes

Intense sparring matches with MMA fighters, black belts, and Marines are just fun though

No, nothing serious. Maybe just kids scuffling in school.

I watched a guy get stabbed at Ontario place after a Tito puente jr concert years ago. They beat him up and stabbed him in the stomach about five times

I went to HS with a genuine badass. Big, muscular and full on crazy. Any fight with him was a genuine pummeling as he also had zero self control

He was killed less than a year after graduation
Thrust · 56-60, M
@Punches he crashed a car doing 100 on a 2 lane rd. Hit a huge stone wall with a forest behind it. Took 2 others with him, 1 survived.

His adoptive parents were lucky in that the familes agreed to settle for the $1 million policy on the car, and they could continue with their lives
Punches · 46-50, F
@Thrust Sounds like kind of a complex story. But yeah you did mention he had no self control.

Not that this matters really but what if the families had tried to sue for more money and the adoptive parents didn't have the money? I mean, most of us have no where close to even one million, and 40 years ago that would have been like three million today?
Thrust · 56-60, M
@Punches by then he was an adult so they could only go after his assets which had to be minimal. But it was their car.

Tragically the other 3 guys were only in the car because their truck was stolen. They went to the club where he was bouncing for a ride home.

Rumor has it they spotted the truck and they were chasing it. It is impossible to prove

Many years ago now.

My wife went missing for a few days, over the new year period, going on a whole drink, drugs and sex bender. Myself and our, then, 2 children were out of our mind with worry. Likewise my mother-in-law.

When she did eventually come home, she wasn't looking great, and her mum shouted at her and slapped her very hard across the face. It was very much a one-way fighting thing.

It upset me, it upset our girls, it upset everything. I kicked her out for a time.

We did get back together, happily so. All is good.

Yes, I lived in Nottingham. The Old Market Square was like the wild west at the weekend.
A few times, including a couple I was in. Bishes be crazy back in the day.
@MsSwan I like when people get in fights and they are at the part where their shirt is over their head or they have a wardrobe malfunction like their pants falling down.

This happens always.

Also it's funny because I'm pretty sure they imagined the situation would play out more like a scene in Rocky or Bloodsport rather than like a scene out of some gorilla documentary.

I've seen them and been in them.

Just girl classmates scuffling in my private school but nothing major
AdaXI · T
Yeah they're not nice and often the person trying to keep things all calm ends up being the one who gets beat up.

Outside of sports, just once that I remember, way back in high school. One kid got a bloody nose.
