Sounds good, and, yes, your advice is welcome. 👆

I'm definitely allowed an opinion on anything I choose, Hiker.
You obviously subscribe to the mythical premise that only dads have the supreme knowledge of parenting and nobody else has a clue. What a load of sh*t. I know lots of dads and I know lots of parents.
You do not need to have kids to know what it takes to be a good parent to some degree. I'll give whatever advice I choose. He can ignore it.

You didn't have to say it, you present yourself in such a manner. You have a love of fighting and of hurting another human being. You have said it is a great feeling to knock someone out. Yet, conversely, you say you haven't fought since you were 17, you refer to 21 as a past age. By that token you haven't fought for at least four or five years, so to be still so enamoured with the lifestyle of things like Fight Club? Yeah, fantasising.

It doesn't matter where the fight is waged. It doesn't matter if someone is shooting innocent bystanders or shooting terrorists in a war; if you get thrills from firing guns at people, you're a nutjob. Cage or street; if your aim is to hurt the other person and that's what gives you a "great feeling", you're a thug and a moron.
I doubt Fedor Emilianenko fights people cos he gets a kick out of hurting them like some crazed street thug.

I have a lot of experience in martial arts. Many, many years. I don't consider it something to spend my time bragging about or crowbarring into every conversation like some kind of penis-less, over-compensatory fool.
It's not important to anyone else, nor is it necessary for anyone to know. I do it because it keeps me fit, I enjoy it and I appreciate the disciplines. That's as far as I need go. I know enough to know you're an idiot about it.

I'm perfectly qualified to make an observatory statement. Not sure why you'd claim I'm not.
I don't want to fight every time I get pissed off. I simply wouldn't be able to get through the day. Part of being disciplined in any martial art is knowing precisely when not to fight; any time that isn't absolutely necessary.
I'm not sure who taught you, but they obviously skipped that.

I'll give advice on whatever I want. If my points are credible and sensible, it doesn't matter who has kids and who doesn't. Plenty of parents haven't got a first clue on how to raise them; having kids doesn't entitle you to be void of criticism.

And, I already teach my son to not tolerate physical abuse from anyone. That includes hitting back. I haven't taught him that fighting is fun as that isn't something you can teach, it's something you like or don't like...or learn. Guess the only way you can find out?
So, if your son thinks fighting is awesome; begins getting into fights in school and such, you're not going to tell him it isn't cool to do that, or are you?

Yeah, there's a difference between fatherly protection; using fighting for defense (SHOCK! MY POINT ALL ALONG!), and using it as a means to get a boner or get thrills.
Obviously this is lost on you.

Typical, old-man, bullsh*t rhetoric; "You don't know about kids if you ain't got them.".
As I said to Hiker, there are plenty of ways to learn about something and be well educated on the subject without actually being involved in it. I am not denying there are aspects to parenting you do not experience until or IF you are one. However, this does not mean anyone without a kid has a void opinion on parenting, and you're stupid if you think otherwise.
The only ones who'll agree with you are parents with the same jaded mindset.

Yeah, remember; this is a debate about fighting being something you use out of necessity, not fun or thuggish obsession. I never once said "Don't use it to protect loved ones.".

And, yes, fighting can be an excellent way to settle things, especially if handled like gentlemen. (Like, going outside, knowing that below the belt and biting off flesh is unnacceptable, ending the fight when the other one gives or yields, etc. These are understood rules...not all people adhere to them, and Mr. Grumpy Pants doesn't seem like one of those.)
Don't be such a damned hypocrite. You sound like a cowardly war general sending men into battle.
Rules to a street fight? It's a street fight; fight it to win or don't fight it at all. This proves your delusional fantasising about fights; you feel fights are some kind of honourable man-sport, even in unsanctioned areas. Be a gentleman? YOU don't know the first thing about street fighting, if that's your opinion on it. The point of street fighting is to come away better off than the other guy, that's the fact. If you are twice my size and twice as strong, I'm not going to abide by your rules for the sake of earning anyone's respect. You do what you can to overcome your opponent; save the code of conduct for sanctioned sports.
Typical boyish nonsense. Fighting isn't honourable unless it's sporting. Street fights have no rules, there is no "be a gentleman". Fight it or don't.

Yet, we both know those characterizations are not quite accurate.
Except mine is, and yours is just a textual mirroring of me typing in caps.
I love it when people keep accusing me of thinking I'm right about everything instead of just proving me wrong. You'd think they'd do that if it was that easy. They don't, and neither do you, because you can't.
You're just a troll who trolls for fun.

Street fight. Yes. 😐 I guess that wasn't obvious...but a little bit of deductive reasoning would have quickly lead to that conclusion. How could I continue with MMA, be quite good, be out of highschool, and still be younger than 17 when my Birthday is in June? There's always the option that I got passed up a grade...but I highly doubt you'd assume that about me. Am I right?I've fought MANY times since I was 18. There were in controlled environments...and weren't spur of the moment street fights.
Drop the paper-premise of "They were controlled.". If they weren't sanctioned fights, they were bullsh*t. Don't continue using that nonsense rhetoric of "Fighting is honourable if you do it like a gentleman!".
If you get into a street fight, which is what most fights tend to be; your aim is to defend yourself and overcome your opponent enough to either stop the fight or escape. Don't bring rules and then call the other guy a p*ssy when he doesn't abide by them; that's what YOUR kind of "man" does.
"Man, I'd have kicked that guy's ass if he didn't brick me over the head!". Yeah? Come prepared next time then.

Yeah, this could ultimately be the best way to go about it, that is if it cannot absolutely be let go at this point, and if the other guy is actually game for that. This way dadudemon won't get arrested. However, I was once talking to this Australina guy and he said he got in a lot of bar fights in Australia because any guy who said, "Let's take this outside," he would just sucker punch them right there. 😬
Okay...
It's not an obsessive need to prove anything right.
It's easy as breathing to prove yourself right, if you're actually right. Requires no effort to press keys on a keyboard and articulate thoughts. Not entirely sure why you're painting this as some kind of arduous task, Mai.

Yes, and you said "Don't give advise unless you're a parent.". A flawed statement, because people can give perfectly sound parental advice without having a child.
Saying what you did is just an attempt to use a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Kicking someone's ass for saying you're annoying is not mature. If anything, it's proving him right.

I need no such cards, so don't tell me what I do is what I do. It is your typical way of condescending someone whilst making people think you actually know not just something about everything, but in your mind EVERYTHING about everything. And your antics are tiring when it comes to arguing, you simply don't enjoy the discussion, you enjoy the rise you get out of people. You are only in it for pissing people off, because that is what makes you happy. None of your discussions or arguments are constructive without being insulting. Won't work with me my friend. winkiss
Funny how you tell me what I think in my mind, in the same breath as telling me not to tell YOU what it is YOU do. Telling me not to tell you, but telling me what I enjoy and don't enjoy.
I got a good gut-rumbling laugh out of that gem.
Fact is, I know I don't know everything about everything. Why would anyone claim I think that when it's clearly an impossible feat? Very odd. Not sure why people continue to claim that despite my continued insistance that it's not what I think. Maybe it's because you all just want to blame ME for how high you regard me, despite not liking me. Perhaps, perhaps not. Perhaps some. Perhaps.
Going back to what you said first; it's funny. What you described is exactly who Dadudemon is. I'm sure you know that already, though. Everything you just described is typical, 100% Dadudemon.
Hey, I can't help it if the people I debate with end up feeling insulted. Maybe they should just step their game up.
Also, I wasn't trying to make "it" work with you...whatever "it" is. It's the darndest thing, though. It's almost as if you've elevated me to a high degree, just to self-elevate yourself by acting as if something I do has not worked on you. So in a way, you've self-created an affliction I don't even have, just to say you've overcome it.
Thanks for the huge compliment. I'm flattered.
Anyway, I've had my fun with this thread, so now I'll not ruin it further. Dadudemon's next reply will go unanswered...publically. I will reply to him via PMs and leave you all to your thread.
(The best way to end any fruitless debate with Dadudemon is to strip him of an audience, for future reference)
