Semantics.
The argument is about what he expects the boy to be able to do, "could" so to speak. I'm arguing to expect that "could" to be possible in the first place is ludicrous.
Don't be a hypocrite, the same could be said about you.
And I'm just pointing out how ludicrous your argument is, it's nothing personal. You might simply be self-actualized, and no one else is at that point of greatness yet.
I think I only need to respond to this part.
It's pretty ****ing stupid because you can't expect a 15 year old, with no lessons in self defense, raging up, to know the least damaging method of attacking the bully. That's ridiculous.
And like I said, who is to say if the Casey kid went for...
This is basically siding with the lesser of two evils.
The pastor is an idiot, and so are the extremists.
It's like putting your hand against the fire, knowing exactly what will be happen. But you do it anyways for the **** of it.
Come on now, let's not degrade this argument to "you haven't been in a fight so that isn't a valid argument", because that isn't going anywhere.
And like I said, your argument is that the kid could've controlled himself when he picked up the kid.
I'm saying that's ****ing stupid, and same goes...
Come on now. I mean I know they do it in movies but it's literally impossible in reality.
The kid is not going to have some sudden epiphany when he lifted the bully up.
I mean how often do people throw a punch and stop midway just before they hit the person? You see that in movies but that's...
Saying he didn't have to act on instinct under heavy pressure is like saying he should've overcome the genetic codes embed into him. But I know this is only going to branch off into some irrelevant debate.
To each his own I guess.
I'm going to bruce lee your ass with my Asian heritage.
Then I'm going to let you taste the fury of some kong pow chicken.
After that I will pour burning hot sweet and sour sauce on you.
When that's all done I will make you eat deer penis'
I get that you are arguing it's possible to handle the situation better, but I'm saying that the kid couldn't. I'm saying what the kid did was the first thing that came to his mind, and like I said you don't plan out self defense.
I have read your post, but you didn't read mine.
I'm saying you are expecting way too much from the kid and humanity in general.
Self defense is instinctual and based on reflex, not planned. Going back to my earlier examples, even police officers, who are trained not to make reckless...
What you're asking for is unrealistic, and impossible even amongst adults or the most decorated police officers to perform.
I could see that what he did could warrant a lot of harm. But like you said, he is a kid who doesn't know method of self defense. In fact, even if he did, his self...
What do you mean by self defense at the beginning and not later on?
The kid made one move and walked away, it wasn't like he piled it on and kept punching him.
The kid shouldn't be labeled a hero, and he definitely should not be a some role model for others, but I guess the whole idea of...
Fair enough.
I thought from your reply you disapprove of what the victim.
And that video is funny as hell.
"HAVE YOU LEARNT YOUR LESSON?"
What's with smaller people picking on bigger people these days.
Here is the difference for me.
The kid was NOT fighting, it was self defense. He made ONE move, then backed off and walked away. He could not have dealt with that situation any better in my opinion.
We know he could not just walk away, since we know that kid will probably throw more...
Schools never serve justice, hence the reason they will never prevent bullying.
They suspended both kids for this incident because they have zero tolerance for violence. The Casey kid made ONE move in self defense and he gets in shit for protecting himself? Ridiculous.
Which shooter setting has Valve not explored yet?
They explored world war, aliens, terrorists, zombies and even rogue A.Is.
The only setting they haven't really explored yet is some futuristic tech shit way ahead of Half Life's combine technology. But then unless they use an innovative and...
This is out of the blue, but were you watching the GSL finals where July played MC? I noticed you made a snide comment about the forcefield thing on the blizzard forums.
And I agree with that comment.
Carry on.
