Not bloody likely.

I daydream of killing my parents everyday. I just want to see their eyes when they see me take out a gun and realize that they aren't in control, and how weak they really are. I want to hear my mom cry as she slowly dies from the bullet. I want to hear her cry as she realizes that she didn't really love me, and how I never did either.

Ah, sweet torturous revenge...

You would have no idea how many people I'd love to feed to a wood chipper feet first--especially those assholes at work.

I've been trying to get people to take bets with me on how big a splatter this fellow at work would make if thrown off the Holiday Inn roof, but no takers yet.

Oddly enough, he's done relatively little to me. Except make my job more difficult on a weekly basis and act like he's God's gift and refuse to listen to a word I said (back when I spoke to him) and convince me (and most of my co-workers) that he's a latent if not active pedophile. And remind me of my heinous grandmother.

Other than that, and this other guy that I hope forlornly will wander in front of a bus because he's just that stupid, I have very few fantasies of wreaking pain on people.* Mostly I just hope that some day they'll all be revealed as the hideous, shuffling mutants they really are.

I'm not sure I understand what you're about, meritocrat. Are you saying you'd have no qualms about beating someone up despite having no real idea of how good a fighter he was, or how likely he was to press assault charges against you and sue your ass into the ground, just because this person called you a "Paki"? How, exactly, does a pathetic insult like that[ or any insult for that matter] warrant physical violence?

This is the picture I'm getting from your second paragraph:

"Stupid paki!"
"Who you calling paki!?!?!?"
"You, stupid paki!"

*fight begins*

I mean, doesn't that scenario look absolutely stupid to you?


As for not seeing " the rationale of being 'scared' of others".... what the hell does this mean? That you're not scared of anyone, no matter how willing they are to injure or kill you? Sounds like a big bluffing bullshit front to me. Fights can and often do end in much nastier ways than cuts and bruises. Better to just leave well enough alone. For fucks sake, why do people feel that insults are worth fighting over? They don't do anything to you unless you let them.

ive had the same dreams over the course of my life. vivid dreams of a specific person ive met taunting me, annoying me, shoving or pushing me, generally deserving a good beating.

ive had the thoughts so many times, ive actually begun to be afraid of the thought that i may have an anger or rage problem under the surface.

because of these dreams, some lessons ive had from various sourices on fighting (parents, friends, hockey, rugby, boxing, wrestling, lacrosse, etc.), ive even developed and memorized an entire fight. every move, every step, every taunt, ever look, every stance, all memorized.

its come down to the point that someday, someone will finally break the seal, and ill knock him the fuck out.

now, im not a fighter at all. ive fought my brother before (who is much bigger than me), ive had some shot-for-shot matches, ive worked out a bit (not lately), so im no pussy. it comes down to confidence, willingness, and the situation you find yourself in.

its weird really, i dont feel the need or the desire to fight or to hurt anyone, but deep inside i have this tense wanting to break someone's nose to get out all of the pent-up frustration ive had over the years.



ill leave the door open for the men in the white coats.

Yes it does.

It does not.

So why can't people be FREE from fear of others? Is there any reason why that is a negative thing? No.

If you weren't afraid you wouldn't be fighting. Responding to violence with even worse forms of violence is a manifestation of pure and simpe fear, it's never noble or "manly". It just proves you're no better than the scum that insulted you.

You only say that as you feel people have a right to harm others. Sorry, but no one should possess a 'right' to harm others. That's why self-defence is paramount.

Bone doesn't tinkle when it's broken.(Well,living bone,anyway,I'm sure you might be able to find some old bone that sort of tinkles)I've never seen the top of a skull smashed in,but if it makes the same noise as other bones in the body,it likely would make a snapping sound.

Just making sure your fantasies are as realistic as possible.

Personally,I have no qualms about fighting,if attacked,and have done so in the past.Generally speaking,I will stop when the other person is unable to continue and pose a threat to me.

I most certainly think that insults are not something to attack someone else,over,though.The insult process can sometimes lead to a more physical intimidation,however.

Some bully types insult first,and work up from there to physical threats,so it is wise to be cautious.But,if you never have to see the person again,there's very little point in confronting them,especially with the odds not in your favour.

Groups tend to support individual members in a fight.If you fight one,you may have to fight some or all of them.

I really doubt that you have an inability to fight,Brahma's Atheist,and you probably would have done so,if attacked.Walking away from that situation made the most sense,as you did when you met the other group,as well.

Which type of powers,though?Coercion's nice,but I always liked the TK abilities in her books.And did you want the full Metapsychic ones from the Galactic Mileu books,or the slightly more limited torc based ones from the Pliocene books?
