To be honest I kind of grew out of it a lot... You realize when your an adult that first off, you need to act like one, second there are much more serious consequences for assaulting someone than when you were younger, and three in my mind when I think of anyone who is in their 20's or older 'fighting' it makes me think they are a low class person and of very little intelligence, basically white trash....

I have a friend who has been arrested numerous times for domestic violence and even assaulting police officers, he loses his temper and acts like a complete ****ing jackass...When he fights with his girlfriend and we goto partys he will try to stare down anyone just to start shit, and basically ruins our night...So do you really wanna continue to be THAT guy?

With all that said I have plenty of stories and I have definately had my moments, but I try my hardest to keep it under control and now I only view fighting as a last resort or for self defense only..

**ronan the barbarian** · 02-09-2007, 05:43 PM

im not a child im 33.im not white trash i own my own business and live a very comfortable life,and never ever hit a lady and never ever started a fight.
ive suffered with hyperactivity and adhd all my life,my dad(president of rotarians) started me boxing to try and calm me down,but didnt work and he even paid for private anger management to try and sort me out.

so i sort of agree but also disagree with what your saying

lol so basically he just helped you be more effective in ****ing people up when you lose your temper?

My point with the low class white trash was this...Most of those people have nothing to lose. You on the other hand own a business which Im assuming is somewhat lucrative since you said you live a comfortable life. Now, why would you ever put yourself in a situation where you might compromise your comfortable life? Suppose you really hurt that guy in the car today, even though you didn't intend to, and now you're gona face criminal charges AND a big ass civil lawsuit in which you might end up paying up to 6 figures... You'll really be kicking yourself in the ass when you're paying that kind of money for 2 minutes of your life that you lost your temper. Seriously bro, if you cant control yourself then start seeing a therapist or get on some meds which will chill you out, its not worth it...

All of that doesn't matter. What people don't realize is that they know nothing about the person they are fighting. Maybe he cut you off on accident, I have done that before. Not intentional, just not paying attention. If you had approached me yelling I would have said sorry. I don't like being yelled at but I know when I screwed up. However, if you opened my door and started hitting me, I would have reached into my center console and pulled out my Colt 1911, and would have shot you. I wouldn't go to jail either, I would argue that I feared for my life, and you attacked me. Bottom line is you have to be careful, you never know who is out there. The guy could have been a cop or a mobster or had a weapon on him.

erm let me guess...........................your american???
try living in england for a while and see how far you get without your gun.
but i do understand what your saying about who your getting 'involved' with i really do.
even though guns are illegal here a close friend of mine was shot in the stomach and killed by a 'tough guy' last year.so i do know the real dangers.
but thats not my question.
ive always struggled with my temper,just want to know if anyone else does

i know your right,but as much as i try i cant help myself.but thanks for the advice

**Intruder** · 02-09-2007, 07:46 PM

I'm 36 and have had a bad temper most of my life. Sometimes you let little things get you so worked up that you can't control yourself. I would just snap over BS and I would know what I was doing was wrong and stupid but I couldn't stop myself it was like I was on a mission and I was gonna complete that mission no matter what and then after it was all over I would relize how stupid and petty it was and I would feel like a fool. I do still snap once in while maybe once a year but I have learned to control myself. Sometimes yu just have to take a sec, take a breath and ask yourself is it really that big of a deal?

I use to be dim-witted and immature like this also. What turned me around was watching the news one afternoon. The story was about someone who got cut off which both cars then pulled over. The guy gets out of his car and runs to the other car to show how pissed he was. The guy in the first car shot him in the face and killed him.

Another story was about the same thing. Guy got cut off on the HW when he gave the other guy the finger he slowed down and pulled up on the passenger side of the car with a gun. The driver pointed the gun at the car and shot. The bullet hit his wife sitting in the passenger seat and killed her.

Hopefully this will make you think twice. Not only for you but also other people in your car.

That is very true, and part of the reason I have tried to control my self. Cops wont look the other way any more like they did when I was a teenager. Nothing like a night in jail to make you realize that's not who your are.

There are also alt of a-holes out there and there are times when you have to defend your self. I had some drunk dude try and hit me with a stick cuz I wouldn't give him a ride. I kicked his ass, then I called the cops my self cuz I noticed people were watching and I wanted to cover my ass.

**gixxerboy1** · 02-09-2007, 08:39 PM

I have a horrible temper. And its usually a gf that gets it going real bad. I would never touch a girl. I'm much better then i was years ago.

Last time i lost it was about 3 weeks ago in a lounge out with my girl and one of her friends. Some drunk guy on the dance floor kept harassing them. I said something to him 4 times. Finally i pushed him away. Later on he grabbed my arm as i was walking passed so i grabbed his throat and head butted him in the nose. The bouncers tossed him out.

**spywizard** · 02-09-2007, 08:59 PM

lucky thing he didn't shoot your butt.. and why do you think it's ok to physically assault someone???

So have the police come to arrest you yet?? I'm sure it wasn't your 1st offense, maybe 2nd degree assault minumum 3 months in the county workhouse??

anyway.. point is you over reacted...

**spywizard** · 02-09-2007, 09:01 PM

oh, and i would have just broke your knee, and handcuffed u until the po po got there.. citizen arrest.. you know how it is..

sorry i didn't read all of these posts before...

Of course you can "help yourself" . . . I'm sure you could have controlled your impulse to beat that guy up had there been 3 other guys in the car all pointing guns at you.

All you have to do is stop telling yourself that it's ok if you beat up on other people.

That's the truth.

That was my problem when i was younger. I didn't care and i never worried about the consequences. Especially if we were out in a bar. I knew everyone and so did my girl i could get away with anything and i did.

**chest6** · 02-09-2007, 09:13 PM

My temper has gotten much much better as I've gotten older. Last time I'd say I really lost it was last year when this kid was harassing my gf. She was on the phone with me tellin all the shit he was doin then when they pulled up in their car he was still doin it in front of me. Opened the door and cracked him. Other than that Im usually a pretty calm guy...

**Rye_guy** · 02-09-2007, 09:33 PM

I like spending my spare time in place that isnt an 8 by 12 cell... I like being able to see my ladies and not being gang by inmates.... So I generally dont lose my temper and randomly attack the fvckers who screw with me... no more assault charges for me... had a few close calls and I learned from it.

**Fordfan01** · 02-09-2007, 11:43 PM

see my roomate thread and ull know whne the last time i lost my temper was haha

**muaythaiguy76** · 02-10-2007, 12:03 AM

lol when i was at a party and this 140 lb kid came up to me and said " i could be big as hell to if i juiced" lol

**ronan the barbarian** · 02-10-2007, 04:54 AM

yea, you guys lost, your rights to bear arms a long time ago.. If you don't have the courage and strength to protect yourselves from your own goverment how can we expect you to protect yourselves from your neighbors??? oh thats right we've been providing that protection for you for the past 60 yrs...

people protecting themselves from lawless thugs that drag them from their homes or cars to assault them are not cowards..

Hey hows that dole doing for ya??? (that's welfare for all the rest of you)

But then again with the influx of muslims changing the population mix into the EU you will not have alot of choices on how you live much longer anyway.. and since you can't bear arms against your own goverment, you can't effect change, you just roll over and take it again.. Maybe france will help ya out..

**Benches505** · 02-10-2007, 09:10 AM

I haven't lost it since I started GH. I'm some calm and relaxed guy now.

i couldnt agree more,i already know lots of people who are black and white who are race hating against muslims.another oldham i think but on a larger scale.

oh and SPYWIZARD i own my own business and last tax year my income was £60k about $100k so i wouldnt know anything about dole.and as for race problems....erm pot/kettle....glass houses erm you get the picture.

as for losing our right to carry guns all i can say is columbine happens every day in america but hey atleast you can carry a gun so that makes everything ok doesnt it.lol

actually i was refering to the army and airforce bases that have been there since ww2 to keep germany from over running Europe, but that's ok.. you are welcom..

Thanks for having such a successful business that you can pay for all of those socialist programs, keep up the good job..

and i know you know what dole is.. hahaha.. don't kid a kidder..

The point in this is you think you are a big guy and that you have the right to physically assault anyone that upsets you... well, you don't... and there are many people in the world with psycological problems when it comes to dealing with people.. it's ok there are doctors that can help you..

Don't worry about attorney fees, or losing that business, someone will one day sue you and your dad (because he paid to have you trained as a fighter) I hope the insurance for liability was paid...

Enough of that..

Snrfmaster sent me a pm that pointed out to me that I was wrong, and that i had offended him, in grouping all Brits in the same catagory as you, and infering that England was not willing or able to defend themselves. For that I apologize. I did not intend to state, or infer that Great Britian were not willing or able to defend themselves, history teaches us that they were very brave and resourceful during both of those great battles and have always been a great friend to the USA...

So we everyone must understand that opinions are just like assholes, everyone has one and they usually stink..

bwaaaahaaaaaaaha!!!!!

and jolly old englands a civilized society now? last i heard, they beat us in all violent crimes cept murder.

**bigbouncinballs** · 02-10-2007, 06:37 PM

fyi,

its called the eggshell skull plaintif. you take the victimi as you find him. if you hit him and he happens to have a genetically thin skull, a propensity for heart attacks, a weak spinal chord, etc. and you paralyze or kill him, guess who's goin away?

but that's ok, cuz people that don't care about consequences end up where they belong.

**ronan the barbarian** · 02-10-2007, 07:33 PM

will everyone calm down.lol
1.at no point at all did i say i enjoy losing my temper.
2.i know about dole,ive just never been on it.
3.you can walk away from a beating but not from being shot in the face.
4.my mom and dad are both irish,were alchoholics(as told on other thread)and once i was thrown out of home at 15 i was on my own.spent 6 months on the streets while still trying to go to school.so no im not a mollycoddled middle class tough guy wanna be.but i made a succsess of my life against the odds and noone will tell me different....

i might have a few probs but i have done better than most could in my shoes.

sorry for the rant

**ronan the barbarian** · 02-10-2007, 07:38 PM

my girlfriend has just told me to apologise for bein a pr*ck and goin off on one.and shes right.
its noone elses fault the life ive had so if ive offended anyone im sorry.

i only wanted to know if any one else has trouble contolling their temper and didnt mean to get anyones back up

**bigbouncinballs** · 02-11-2007, 11:27 AM

ha! mollycoddled, gotta remember that one!

just sayin, our law comes from your law, and once you strike someone unlawfully, you're responsible for just about anything that happens to em.

just remember, fightin's for kids. when you get fired up, walk away. whats it to you if some "mollycoddled" punk cuts you off or calls your girl a hooker or bumps into you and stares at you? let that prick go get in trouble with someone else. be above that sh1t.
