Well, it finally happened...

"
He punched someone once. I am willing to bet that you have punched someone before.

The two forum members who previously had "Dragon" in their names disagree for the first time that I know of! "


Ah, my apolyton memory has gone, who had Dragon in his name?


Ya, I've hit people before back when I was in school. The key thing is however that UberKrux is an adult, at which point violence becomes alot more serious matter. I have never attacked someone as an adult. He comitted a violent act against someone, he did not have justification for it, he deserves jail time.

[Asher]

I don't think Uber deserves jailtime.

This was clearly a crime of passion.

Seriously though, it's not like Uber thought "I'm going to hit this guy" and decked him, it was more or less a "natural" defense mechanism that many people have when they feel threatened.

I'm not going to go into why Uber felt threatened, because that could get nasty.

I think Uber could open his mind and not be offensive as possible as often as possible (I seem to recall previous threads where he talked about his friends and how they all behave together).

It's no fun living life with a narrow mind and protesting those who are different.

Come on, dear. You can do better than that.

By the looks of things NYE, I don't think he can.

jesus ****, this thread sure did explode while i was out.

well, let's try to address as many things as i can at 3am.
[list=1][*]I talked to my uncle who talked to some of hos lawyer friends, they basically told me everyhting you told me, common sense, keep quiet and apologize. I'm sure i'll do that.[*]I am not totally a homophobe. infact, i have several gay friends, i've worked with gay people, my calc TA was gay last semester. I have no problem with who you choose to show affection to. It's when it's shoved in my face when I freak out. Not even sexual advances such as this (but believe me, this took me completely by suprise) but even public displays of affection. I'm not too fond of ANYONE (straight / gay) going at it in public, but gays just make my gut wrench when i see it. I have no problem with whatever you do in your life, I'd just like it better if you didn't present it to me. I understand you have a right to be proud of who you are, i understand you might want to screm it from the rooftops. i understand. but i'm being honest here.[*]This school is big on tolerance programs. I'm damn sure i'm going to end up in one, and i'm damn sure it's not going to do anything to help me at all, no matter how open minded i am walking in.[*]I did sock him good ozz .01/10[*]re the irony of me exiting methods of reasoning. yea, kinda funny, but i didnt exactly sit there and go "he has grasped my hand, how do i respond? i should coldly take my hand away and walk away the bigger man here". no. it was more like "i'm not gay, WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING? POW!".[*]was it right? no. is assault ever justified? no. do i regret what i did? no. I know i'm wrong, I know i'm not the victim, but i feel NO remorse for this. he can go to hell for all i care.[*]i did not know he was gay beforehand, but i did have assumptions.[*]He isn't the head honcho of the "Pride Alliance", infact he's not really in the "government" of it, he's just a lead organizer. He orginized the "Homo Hop" last semester (i sh*t you not, thats what they called it), which was a Dance to raise money for AIDS education.[*]ugh. this isn't going to make the 4 tests this week any easier.[/list=1]

[Shi Huangdi]

"no. I know i'm wrong, I know i'm not the victim, but i feel NO remorse for this. he can go to hell for all i care."

But why not? You hurt another person without the justification to do so.

[Asher]

He orginized the "Homo Hop" last semester (i sh*t you not, thats what they called it)

They call it the "Gender Bender" here.

They call my friend's mother that too.
But thats another story.

[red_jon]

OK, I've lost all sympathy for Uber after that post.

I hope the university throws the book at you, and if you ask me they probably will

And it may be oversaid, but I have actually found a large number of homophobes to be gay themselves. Maybe you have some cupboard cleaning to do...

[Richard Bruns]

Hey UberKruX, I have one more piece of advice:

Never hit anybody in the face. Skull and jaw bones are quite hard, and can easily damage your hand. Also, human teeeth are incredubly septic, and you could have gotten an infection if one had broken your skin.

You should have aimed for the neck. That way you get a lot more stopping power and less risk of collateral damage.

This is a joke. Obviously I do not condone hitting people. If you were about to respond angrily, consider yourself an APRIL FOOL. :-p :-)

[Messer Niccolò]

LOL this makes me laugh!!!
C'mon go to him and say "I'm sorry". Shake his hand (please avoid sexual harassment ) and everything should be forgot.
naaaah, I can believe a charge has been opened on you and you have to contact a lawyer just for a little punch...
Ohhh my!

Now I understand why in US lawyers rule!!!

[C0ckney]

i would disagree, the nose is nearly always the best target, fairly easy to break and very few guys can get up straight away after having their nose broken

[Pekka]

And also risking serious injury to the other guy? Man, why not go straight to the eyes while we're at it? Push them hard in with your both thumbs? Jeesh..

[C0ckney]

a broken nose isn't a serious injury

[C0ckney]

and besides, i'd imagine you could do a lot more damage to someone's neck than their nose.

[Pekka]

C0ckney, yeah, I was referring to the neck thing, not broken nose.
