    Last Conformist - I don't mean getting mad - I mean going berserkr, to borrow from the Norse roots. I pulled the bastard off my back, over my head, one handed to get at him (and he was a little taller that me and built the same). I tried to f**kin kill him, it took five people including a football player to get me off him and they had to bodily pick me up while ripping my arms free - two people per arm plus the football player bodily picking me up. I had every intention of strangling him to death, and left a bruise all around the front of his neck.

    It's one of the reasons I've never been drunk - there is a history of berserking in my family. Trust me, if you go berserk versus going into a simple rage, you will know it and it will scare you. You have no control, and you will, if nobody intervenes, kill, cripple, or maim him until it subsides. I suspect it is what people call a killing rage. I was lucky, I found out when I was able to dodge any run-ins with the law, as I was clearly assualted.

    It also meant that girls looked at me a little bit askance, as in my fellow acedemic types I was interested in. Thus the attempt to be successful at sports - there is a difference between "successful at sports" and "he almost killed KevinS," and in our nice middle class suburb the latter was NOT considered paticularly attractive.

        I suppose that's a point; I usually stopped beating people when they stopped fighting back.

        (One of the things I did that did seem have a deterent effect was when a classmate, for no reason I ever learnt, attacked me form the behind; I turned around and sent him to the school nurse with a lucky first kick. Maybe I should've tried and kill him on the ground before his friends carried him off, and nobody would've attacked me again.)
        Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

          i have only been in 1 fight in highshool...got mugged...but never something like this...i normally could always talk them out of it...but ones a guy punched me in my stomach (didnt hurt, lousy punch i think) and then i just grabbed his neck and pushed him put against a wall...he started punching my stomach some more...still didnt hurt...and i just kept him up in the air until he gave up...after that never a fight...because i talked them out of it or they remembered that.....it is not that i can take a beating that well...got mugged ones and took me a while to get over that me and 1 mugger both in the hospital...but that fight in shool did a lot for my rep...

              the BGR. Mmmm. cryptic
              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                  And a fine nickname it is. Change the spelling and it would be perfect.

                      For me, I managed to get beat on by the toughest kid in my elementary school, and walked away without a scratch. No one picked on me after that.
