How to become more social?

[Naryar]

And oh yea i was bullied to sh** as a wee lad. Then in 7th grade one of the jocks started talking sh** about me and punched me around as usual but i completely lost my sh** this time and retaliated and put his ass on the ground and curb stomped him to the point where i almost broke his nose.
He threw the first punch so i only got 2 days of detention.

After that i started to grow my hair out and nobody really bothered me afterwords.

You give people respect for resorting to violence? I thought higher of you than that, smashy

And you're the one who says all politicians should be shot ?

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

Yeah, but have you seen what they've done to the country? I wouldn't beat them up. At least I'd have the mercy to end them quickly

That is still resorting to violence. There are other ways to ruin government, besides, shooting them would only succeed in getting you arrested, and bringing in several people who are likely to be worse. Either that, or it would cause total anarchy and put the country in an even worse shape. There would be no respect given and it would hurt your family in more ways than one.

Like I care. I don't ask for respect. I ask for promises to be kept and justice to be upheld. The Government doesn't keep promises or uphold correct justice

Respect is earned, not obtained from requesting or ordering (as my stepdad should have found out by now), asking for respect will not work, you earn it and lose it  through what you do. You earn it through your artwork and various other creations, actions, and knowledge. I have apparently earned some in the past couple of years, but I have no idea how that happened. And the government upholds some correct justice, and keeps some of its promises, but the government is not God, it is not an omnipotent superbeing that can save a life by clicking its fingers, as much as some people may believe, or as much as they may wish to be able to do such a thing.

Oh, so you're siding with the people who've made it impossible to live out your dream?

Nope, I am not siding with anyone in this case, I prefer to avoid taking sides. Failing to do something does not immediately warrant death. And besides, it's my fault for being incapable of making a decision for myself as to whether I wanted to do that and risk the repercussions later in life.

Scourge, you should read Thoreau's Civil Disobedience.

[Naryar]

so you think killing someone is better than beating him up ?

Eeyup. Swift bullet to the head saves a lot of pain on their part

Hmm...but beating up leaves a chance for redemption, bullet to the head leaves none. That is one of the main arguments against the death penalty.

Alright, then by this argument you would prefer that I kill you rather than punching you for disagreeing with your views ?

Yep :>

If you don't resort to violence you get beaten up even more. I can't say i enjoyed it, but i had to do what i had to do.

This. I have the utmost respect for people who either:

• Stand up for what they believe in
• Stand up against some bullying <expletive>, just so they can get them off their backs

Oh and Scourge, your outlook on killing people rather than beating them up is bloody confusing.

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

And yet you have no respect for a calm individual who gets out via negotiation
