“Look, I normally will throw down with anyone but, let’s agree I’m going to lose this and very badly.

Knowing this and admitting it to you should be very telling but, while I don’t want to fight you, I am not going make this easy. I’ll lose but, I will give it my best shot” I responded.


In the example you gave, you actually stood up to him, instead of telling him whatever you had to say so he would not hurt you. That was brave on your part.

I drove a taxi for a total of 6 years and have several tracks of stitches on me because my shyte-taking gland is very poorly developed. I was bullied as a child and decided that I would rather bleed than be bullied as an adult.

You are justifying Americans holding back their free speech out of fear. The school and the Courts should have stood up for free speech and failed them. So the children should be pulled out. The cornerstone of education is freedom of expression. A school that does not allow that is incapable of educating anyone.

I am not justifying the holding back of Free Speech.

The American kids proudly demonstrated who they are but, they were going to lose badly, in a fight they didn’t anticipate nor wanted.

Look, these kids aren’t old enough to die for our country but, we are going to let em die over this?

I don’t think so and my conscience would eat at me for the rest of my life, knowing I could have taken an action to save their lives.

Oh, in regards to my Somoan friend, my little brother thought the same as you.

I sure didn’t want to fight him. Fought a couple other guys and one who slapped from across a table for something I didn’t even say(guy next to me said it) got a cracked tooth for doing it.

This after I explained what really happened and what the outcome was going to be.

He didn’t care, couldn’t be reasoned with and went to sleep for a few seconds.

He later apologized as well and I bought him drinks.
