[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2541194, member: 6390"] This one. Yeah, but that doesn't make it wrong morally. What the law does is protect people who are being rude from cashing those checks thier mouth is writing. You've got a thing against violence period, don't you? Trust me, being hit in the mouth isn't nearly as bad as being shot., I know it's not legal to punch him in the mouth, but you know what, I guarentee you, there are certian things that can be said that will make you punch someone in the mouth. Whatever man. You want to figure you can smack my wife around, you go with your bad self. You don't get the whole thing, do you? But that's OK, I could explain till I'm blue in the fact, and all you'd understand is that I hit the guy for his words, and it's wrong, so I'm wrong. Face it, we'll NEVER see eye to eye on this. I believe violence is an acceptable solution to some things. You don't. BUT, unlike you, I'm not going to try to force my views on you or harangue you until you decide to give in. hehehehee Well, if he hauled off and hit a woman, what do you think I'd do? As for suing? I've never sued anyone for a physical confrontation. And so the guy goes on a cursing spree against my family, and I just stand there and take it or MAYBE tell him he's a jerk when he moves to block us from going somewhere because he wants to stand there and scream. Screw that. No, I don't. I have NEVER thought it was a good idea. The constant reliance of authorities to protect you has dangerous consquences. [qote]No, the laws are designed because someone calling you a name or being mean and you reacting with violence isn't civil behavior. The old, two wrong don't make a right thing. You and your wife and your family should either ignore him and realize he's an jerk or respond verbally informing him that he's a jerk. That's civil behavior in response to incivility.[/quote] Naw, I'd already informed him of that. He just got more abusive. Yeah, you weren't rude. You just rolled up and screamed at them. Seriously, you could have ignored that, and to tell the truth, what I was talking about is a LOT worse. You WERE rude. What they did, while selfish and rude, was not like pulling up and screaming at them like a deranged lunatic. You WERE rude, but you can't see it. That's fine with me. You know, maybe a sock to the grill, and the driver wouldn't sit there and make people wait. You just better hope that he's not willing to beat on you back. [/QUOTE]
