I'm not homophobic (I have a gay best friend and a Guncle), but I still indulge in gay jokes.

"I'm not a bigot, I just like to regularly imply that homosexuality is a bad thing."

Got it.

I got one better than that. One time I actually did hear someone say "I'm not racist, I just don't like black people".

Bonus points: She didn't actually say "black people"...

To be fair, niggers are the worst. But niggers aren't exclusively black, either, so there's that. You can be Native American and still be a nіgger if you do niggery things like wear your pants around your thighs, listen to obscene music in the parking lot of public places, and fire pistols sideways.

I want to know. If so; I want to at least have the ability to destroy my liver with pesticide trying to kill the little fuckers...mosquitoes that is.

If Sulfuric Vortex was reprinted for modern; Soul Sister would not be an issue. Did I just make the Red Mages Horny?

[DocLawless]

She did mean black people though.

I just kinda sputtered for a bit, and she was gone by the time my bile found a language.

My grandmother will say out load in public or while in the car driving through Corpus Christi, Texas: "look at all the
colored people, what are they doing out in great numbers?"

Or ask for a particular nut in jar, "pass me one of those #!@@&% Toes" (yeah, I won't say it).

After spending five years living in Pine Hills, I got really sick of that type of behavior. Anybody of any race is capable of it.

There have been multiple occasions where I have nearly been in fights over people doing stuff like that. One time I was at a gas station in West Palm Beach and this guy is blaring this shitty music at the pump at a gas station, ("fuck" or "nіgger" was basically every other word to the lyrics) and parked on the other side of that pump was a minivan with these two little kids in it. I walked with up to his car, yanked the keys out and when he threw a fit, I got in his face and told him that if he didn't learn some fucking respect for those around him, I would make sure he at least remembered that day.

His reaction was to pretend like he was tough, that he was going to "call his crew" and beat my ass. After I shrugged and told him I'd be waiting in my car, he
drove off fuming that I made him look like a giant vagina in front of the girl in the passenger seat.



tl;dr: yeah, fuck those types of people and anybody who acts like 'em.

[Alex]

Also being white is awesome because in the two occasions where these interactions did end up in blows, I wasn't the one being charged. I mean, yeah, racism still exists, but I'm not going to fight it if it's keeping me out of the tank.

In other news, kids in a mini-van witnessed the brutal murder of a white male trying to start a fight with a known (X) gang member....

That could have been the other door he could have chose for you. Be careful and you are making me proud doing stuff like that.

Just remember your surroundings. Gas Station and Kids in van...not a good place for a firefight or fight in general.

Back then I was still weight training, and I am by no means a small guy, which I assume led to him bitching out. If 20 year old me approached 25 year old me in that fashion I'd probably react the same way. I LOOKED like your stereotypical bouncer-type.

You must have pussy gang members where you live(d). In texas, fist fights are for black friday shoppers. I don't weight train, but train in weapon and takedown tactics. I am to small for weight training and the benefits don't last. I also don't care for fist fights as it gives the target a chance to respond with an unknown tactic or weapon from anywhere. Anything near accelerants is a BAD idea for planning an event as described. You still got lucky. Bullets versus skin are one sided. If I were you; I would walk away from that
event not considering that a win. It was not life threatening till you made it so for the children near by. Police would have waited for the kids to move out. I know what its like to have all this knowledge and training to be a badass, but one unintended squrew up makes you worse than the scum you were intending to stop. Situation, scene control, timing, and planning matter. It's in the past now, and that's just my take from your facts.
Not in anyway picking on you, but do NOT want anyone else reading the scene as a win or a good idea.

I've never been afraid of things that I probably should be scared of. It has gotten me into plenty of trouble in the past. When I got robbed in high school, my first instinct was to fight, despite being outnumbered. Thankfully calmer heads (and by that I mean my friends) prevailed and handed over enough goods to appease them before I made things worse.

One of many false I share with you. I get into trouble for unveiling people for who they really are at the worst possible moment, and I can't seem to turn it off. I see everything. Graduate School was awkward
cause of this. Very awkward.

Best fighting tactic ever: don't engage the enemy.

I'd say it was poor impulse control, but I don't have that problem in any other aspect of life.

It isn't anger either. I'm not angry, I'm just not scared of a fight if one happens. It's hard to explain.

Then again I suck at emotions, that's probably how I get into these situations.

Lol, white priviledge.

@ Helios, don't think it is so much supporting bigotry or even accepting it. There is a fine line between joke and insult. Normally that line is drawn at intent. Being of said social group or involved doesn't excuse you of said remarks. This clan is fairly tolerant except when it comes to fuckwads.

I'm gay and wouldn't touch soul sisters with a 11ft pole. In fact I am playing (or planning on playing once I have the cards) mono red in every format but EDH (having too much fun with nekusar in multiplay and ezuri 1v1).

But I bet you'd touch an eleven foot pole though, amirite?

RE Racisim: Louis CK said everything that needed to be said.

RE Fighting: Pretty easy to avoid. I haven't been in a fight since 7th grade and only came close to getting in one while drunk at an AF party. If I'm going to fight someone, I'm probably close to killing that person so I tend to avoid all that messiness.

RE faggotry: Louis CK probably has that covered as well.

[LP, of the Fires]

Note: being black+military background probably help with avoiding fights. I never said I don't scare the shit out of people while calling out their "bitch-ass nigga behavior." For dealing with people who can probably kick your ass in a fight but who still need to be called out on said "bitch-ass nigga behavior" it tends to fuck up there drive to tell them that you know they'll win a fair fight and thus your prepared to use every underhanded tactic you know cause fuck a fair fight.

[Kazekirimaru]

My father told me something once.

"If you get in a fight on the street, you aim straight for the fucking throat. There's no glory in olympic kickboxing a motherfucker into submission."

[DarthStabber]

I have been in a few fights in my adult life, once with a belligerent homophobe, and several times drunk, and the key has been to not trade blows, but get inside and wrestle. It reduces the odds that a surprise weapon will be brought to bear against you, and if you can exploit the right holds and pressure points you can end it quick. And by virtue of having a nervous tic I can fake being crazy as shit really easily, and people tend not to mess with crazy people. If I am in a dicey area i'll start talking to myself and focus on not having twitches (which inevitably makes them happen worse than usual), and I end up getting a wide berth.

@kaze; are you talking to me, because I am actually in therapy, and it's going pretty well.

[magicdownunder]

I notice a few of you guys watch Anime, can you recommend me something like: Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji, Touhai Densetsu Akagi or One Outs?

It doesn't have to be Anime, thanks in advance

Oh, the ways I have hurt people.

[RaidaTheBlade]

I might just be cranky cause I can't sleep, but does anyone else think it seems like the standard forum is basically just arguments at the moment?

And I don't mean the constructive, evidence-filled, reasonable type of arguments. But the ones that just kinda feel like opinion-driven dick showing contests... It's giving me a headache.

Again, probably just being overly cranky, but is anybody else seeing that?

[magicdownunder]

I value conflict, it promotes diversity and encourages both sides to question and re-validate their own beliefs.

Its only bad when it becomes something like "the card is bad (full stop)".

[LP, of the Fires]

So long as there's a line of reasoning behind opinions, EVEN IF THE LOGIC IS BAD, argument is good.

The reason bad logic is fine is because faulty logic can be talked through and corrected.

@ Raida, Sorry if I came off as a dick in the other thread. I didn't mean to.

[windstrider]

My ex-wife actually said after a therapy session with me, "Where does that blonde-headed bitch get off calling me judgemental?" Her lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.

I avoid fights. I don't care what people think of me, so it doesn't hurt my pride to walk away. That being said, if you threaten my family, however, I will do my best to fuck you up permanently. I have a mace in my car and lots of weaponry (firearm and non-firearm) at home for just that reason.

Also, what the hell am I doing awake at this ungodly hour?

[DarthStabber]

< three stripe purple belt in jiu-jitsu.

Oh, the ways I have hurt people.

I have a gun (I may be a politically progressive, socially accepting, cuddly when drunk homosexual, but i'm still 'murican dammit). Sadly it's my parent's house and not with me, mostly because I have no where to put it, and have had zero pistol practice since I got out of the military. Rifle time certainly, and one afternoon with a shotgun, 24 shells, and some liquor bottles. I should actually get off my but and look into getting a conceal carry permit.
