Check this out. I learned a big lesson last week when I had a bit of road rage. This guy kept cutting me off, he was speeding up to change lanes and get passed me, but he'd get stuck in worse traffice and end up behind me, and then he'd pass me again and again, so I sped up to make it harder for him since he was driving like a madman. Totally lame on my part, right? I agree. So, he pulls up next to me on the offramp and rolls down his window. He's this huge black guy, like Zues in that movie Friday. Then he looks at me and shakes his pointer finger back and forth as if to say, "no no you don't", and he peels off ahead of me. That's when I decide to flip him off. Suddenly he brakes and I pull up next to him, this is in the middle of the road and cars are stopping behind us. I say, "What's you're ****ing problem, man?" He says, "Did you just flip me off?" And I say, "Yeah." Then he says, "Pull over." So I ask "Why would I pull over?" And he says, "Because I'm going to beat your ass." So I say, "You probably could kick my ass, but that doesn't change the fact that you drive like shit." He got all frustrated looking and it appeared that he was going to jump out of his car right there and try to kill me, but I think he finally just felt it wasn't worth it, plus there was a bunch of traffic we were holding up, so we both started driving our separate ways.
Right after that I felt like an idiot and all I could think about is what if that guy killed me and left my daughter fatherless. 🙁

same thing happened to me a few weeks ago
black guy was acting like an idiot on the freeway, i speed up to pass his ass because i dont want to deal with him being in front
switch lanes, speed up, and he cuts in front of me and i almost hit him but i switch another lane over
he rolls down his window yelling out some african shit and im looking at him nodding my head
after that i just said "YOU'RE BLACK" and floored it

Fighting is a hobby? I don't think you meant that.

I agree on the first point and disagree on the second. Fighting is fun.
Weird, because...

Odd. Since I haven't been in a fight since I was 17..and I saw fight club for the first time when I was 21. I guess not all of KMC is hopelessly lost in fantasy, right? 😄
So then you're a poser who has a childish obsession with hurting other people, yet you haven't done it since you were 17? The only thing more immature and sad than following through on a dumb obsession with fighting, is fantasising about living that lifestyle and acting like you live it.

No, that's not how it works. That's a fallacious characterization.I don't have a desire to fight, actively. The desire only comes AFTER someone pisses me off. Duh?
Just like the clarification of your points only comes when someone calls you on it, then you say "Duh".
Still, if you have the desire to fight everytime someone pisses you off then I suggest therapy. Might wanna get that looked at if you have a wife and kids. What message are you going to give your child? "Fighting is fun, you get an amazing feeling from punching someone in the face."? That's the fast track to raising a kid that becomes nothing but a thug, the kind of guy you described in your initial post.
If your kid could read your posts, what impression would he get of Daddy? "Fighting is a great and acceptable way to do things, he promotes it and frowns on people who take opposite stances.". Hmm.

Also, the same could be said about your time on the internet...which is said quite often.
Who is to say that I am not doing things that result in mental stimuli on here?
I read, I write, I discuss. All more intellectual time investments than "RAWR I LIKE TO FIGHT, IT'S FUN! I MEAN, IT WAS...OF COURSE. I WOULDN'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T DONE IT SINCE I WAS 17, SO I POST AGGRESSIVELY!".

And, I go to school full time and work full time. I am definitely not in the need for any additional mental stimuli.
Going to school doesn't mean anything.
I can lead a horse to water, doesn't mean he's drinking.

Precisely. So get laid instead of doing things with other men. You've got a wife and kid.
In fact, I assume that IS how you spend that energy. So that just makes this obsession with fighting all the more dumb to me.

I most certainly have been in loads of fights. I have NEVER lost. I'm quite good. That's why I did MMA for a while because I was a "natural."
Oh yes, I wish I could express how impressed I am right now. I can't, because I'm not.
You fought last when you were 17, you said. You know what that tells me? You have been shackled up with a wife and kid when you weren't done venting your childish, boyish idiocy. So you do it online via text.

You newb. What I said to Genesis was COMPLETE sarcasm. And, no, I certainly have said plenty of times that I like to fight. Nothing new there.
Doesn't really negate what I said.

No, that's usually some lousy excuse he uses when enough people call his idiocy out.
He'll pretend it was all some "trolling master plan." Of course, he still doesn't understand that he loses both ways because he looks like a fool in the end.
It's a double edged sword.
