When is the last time you were in a good street fight?

I don't like fights and I don't look for fights. The only thing worth fighting for is self-defense (my life or my bankroll) The only time to stop the fight is when you've secured that defense.

Goose of Gold-what if RoadRanger forgot to leave his piece in the car?While you were at it you should have smoked the girlfriend.I know several deficent characters that always carry a little friend.If your life ain't on the line why play the lottery?

I grew up with a guy, initials JC, whose entire life was fighting. He was a smaller dude. No bigger than 5'9", got was tough as nails. His problem was that he just couldn't help himself to be normal. It was cool in high school. You had to fight then, no real choice, but once we graduated and started going out, that's when it really became a problem. EVERY single time it would end in a fight and I'd have to be there, sometimes having to back him up and get into a tussle for no reason. I'm a lover, not a fighter. I just had to stop hanging out with the guy.

I heard later he got with some chick who had a kid and the father was around and would come to pick his kid up and led to an incident that JC fired shots at the guys vehicle. I think he's been doing time ever since but Im not sure. He was a racist so I'm sure he's having a good old time fighting a bunch of Dexter's and Reggie's wherever he's at.

The line I always use is to avoid a fight  "Hey, you can choose to be less hostile."

They just walk away everytime.
