Do you stand up to bullies or injustice?

Re: Do you stand up to bullies or injustice?

I've tried standing up to bullies and injustice before, sometimes it really backfired, haha.

However, now that I know martial arts I think it might not. Still, I've grown up to realize that I don't need to stand up for some people who are just going through cycles in life that I deem natural and will probably make them stronger in the long run.

Specially on this forum...I think that both cowardice and indifference are among the reasons.

The obsessive, psychobabbling he/she zeytuntsi (aka Siamanto) has a bone to pick?

I only came to this forum to do two things man:

- kick some ass and drink some beer.

...I think I'm almost out of beer.

Oh and yea sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself. It's mest up that One-Way said, " If I look like I can take the guy I help out, if I can't then I act like I didn't see anything." That's mest up. Me I will help out if the guy who's getting bullied is a friend or someone im good with.

That's a good question.

I stuck up for some weak individula when I was in basic training and to make a long story short, it didn't help him. He did not appreciate what was being done for him and later he stabbed me in the back.

Moral of the story: If you are going to stick up for someone, make sure they are worthy.

Fist fighting is the most tiring action in the world. I've been in fights that had to end because my opponent and me were to exhasted to keep going.

Also, I've never been in a fight where I walked away unscaved. I always ended up with a black eye or a bloddy nose, even if the fight is successful (i.e. the other guy has a broken jaw).

Perhaps jgk3 can give me some defensive martial art advice

Btw, don't think I get into fights a lot...I don't. That last fist fight I got into was 2 months ago (a fluke). The time before that was sometime in the mid to late 1990s.

I got into alot of fight in high school and college though. I'm amazed my nose is still intact.
