Damn... proper use of single quotation marks. Very impressive. Splat must have scored 160 on the IQ test.

WTF if going on? Why does everyone feel the need to pile up on Dex everytime he posts? You guys need to take some of your own advice and 'let it go'. Just because he posts about some incident in HS doesn't mean he is trying to bring the Brett issue back to the surface.

If you don't like the topic, then don't respond. Don't try to turn it around and make it into something it is not.

That's right, take his weed, kick his ass and tell the bitch to make you a pizza. Sometimes, the answer is right under your nose.......

Anyone into Jujitsu? It's kinda kick ass, really.

I still wanna know if it's really you...

I
had a friend once he took some acid
Now he thinks he's a fire engine
It's okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

satan, satan, satan...

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

satan, satan, satan...

I'm getting bored again...

All right, I'll bite....

Is violence an answer to what?

Sure, the kid didn't bother you anymore but was it worth it? He probably thought you were a righteous douchebag for the rest of high school. His friends who heard his side of the story probably thought the same thing. Hell, he probably thinks that to this day.

I'm not going to get into an analysis of your relationship with this kid (I assume though, that he was smaller and younger that you - and it sounds like before you grabbed him he was already physically intimidated by you).

Basically, did violence solve that one problem? Yeah, sure. Did it create others? Probably - both in terms of your rep around school and in letting you think violence was "ok". Was it worth it?

You can't be a good person if you act like a dick. It doesn't matter (for the most part*) what you're like 'inside'. It's your actions that (mostly*) define you. You acted like a dick, thus you were a dick.

Was there another way to solve this problem? Probably. It would have been harder and more of a pain in the ass, and perhaps less satisfying, but it would have been the moral choice. And you wouldn't have been a dick.

Murder is for the unimaginative.


* - sorry for the qualifiers, if you don't mind me expanding that paragraph into about 5-10 pages I can take the qualifiers out.

Dex, couldn't you have just gotten better at soccer? Violence is the only answer for the talentless and the unimaginative and the lazy. The rest of us get by just fine. Hate to be blunt, but you asked.

[Dexter Rutecki]

For the nimrods having trouble reading: I didn't provoke/harass the kid, he thought it was amusing to pull shit with me and run away.
And, I wasn't really asking for your moral judgment of me personally (but thanks for calling me a dick/unimaginitive, whatever else based on your poor reading comprehension), just putting a somewhat interesting story out there to illustrate the point.
Of course, if I were to respond to any of the critiques of me/my behavior individually, I'd be accused of being like Brett, so I'll refrain.

And I still do want to hear roo's story.

[bad_roo]

A kick in the nuts: diplomacy by other means.

Sorry Arnold, you're wrong.

[kush1]

Why didn't you just do the same shit back??

maybe he was crying out to you......."be my friend old kid pleeeeeeaaassse you're so cool".......or was he the cool kid?

I think we now have enough people taking sides in here for a decent sized rumble....

so when i was about nine two of my friends and i would attempt to play two on one football. of course it was not easy to play a game intended to be played by 22 guys with three, but we were creative, and because of that spectacular creativity i have a story to tell.

here's the scene. location: boston common. basom is all time qb with pete and james making up the opposing teams. being all time qb is sweet cause you dont have to run around attempting stoopidly long routes with the one defender covering you like a wet blanket. so i had it made, but couldn't complete a pass to pete. couldn't to james as well, but he sucked at sports so it was pretty much never gonna happen. james was very good (tall guy) at covering pete, and would always find a way to get in the flight path of the ball. pete aparently had very poor cutting ability, and by the time he ever freed himself from james he would be out of my limited nine year old range.

i called a huddle.
heres the new plan, i call it "knee 'em in the balls and run"
pete thought it was a great idea and took james deep with his route, he then spun around to face james and the ball, lifted his knee as james ran into it and sprinted back twards the line of scrimage leaving james in a pile on the twenty yard line. we finaly hook up a compleation and pete high steps into the end zone. woo hoo! stalemate over.

i realize football is violent in nature, but i think this poor story highlights how every extra bit of violence you can muster in this already violent society will get you home sooner for cookies and milk

This one time also in boston......

When I was around 20 or so my friends and I were driving by boston common. When I saw this kid that used to beat me up in grade school playing basketball. I told my friend to stop and we all jumped out and kicked there asses. it was 5 on 5 so it was an even fight. I beat the kids face in it was awsome!! But the cops came and arrested me, luckly I'm wicked smat and a prof and MIT bailed me out.....
Now I have to see a shrink a few times a week, but he is a cool guy who pants boats in the ocean.

I stopped into The Podunk Bar in Bumfuck, Nevada, out in the middle of the desert, late one night for a cup of coffee because I was nodding at the wheel. The chick bartending was hot, but not hot enough to keep me awake. As I opened my eyes from a momentary nap, I saw a fist in full swing heading toward my face.
I'd been suckerpunched.

My nose was broken and I couldn't see jack shit, but a cross block and a charge ended with me pinning the guy against a wall, one hand on his throat and the other cocked to smack him. I had him. About then I realized the other eight guys in the bar were his buddies. I told him that was a real pussy move, let go of him, walked back to the bar and finished my coffee. Then I left.

You know what hurt the most?

My pride.

Get over it. I did.

[Pinner]

Don't lie, splat.

You don't have any pride.

[CaddyDaddy77]

Lyle said it best.

said I don't like hippies
And I don't like cornbread
And I don't like much
I said I don't hippies
And I don't like cornbread
And I don't like much
But that's okay

Fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
And that's okay
Who needs pride

I like you
'Cause you like me
And you don't like much
I like you
'Cause you like me
And you don't like much
And that's okay

'Cause fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
And that's okay
Who needs pride

Fat babies make me sick
Fat babies make me ill
All that fat baby drooling
And that fat baby smell

I said I don't like hippies
And I don't like cornbread
And I don't like much
But I like you
'Cause you like me
And you don't like much
And that's okay

'Cause fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
Fat babies have no pride
And that's okay
Who needs pride anyway

Um please remember to put the winky face, or say you don't agree with this statement. Because if you did mean this, someone just might take it the wrong way. Maybe like some Retired Marine with jewish ancestoral heritage in his blood.

I'm sure you meant it as a joke
