quite a few when i was young. the neighbourhood grew up and the school i went to were quite rough and fighting was just one of those things you did. i was quite small and so the fights often didn't go very well for me, although i did manage to surprise a few bigger boys. when my family moved to the country the numbes of fights i had diminished, but the percentage i won increased. as an adult (18+), i've had 4 fights, all against people who attacked me. the last being against two robbers which i posted about here.

You're an actual dwarf, Ben? I think that's a more notable disability than your hearing issue.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

He has so many to choose from, it's hard to say which one is most notable.
His disability that is most obvious is mental retardation. He wasn't bullied because in Canada we do not bully mental retards. We give them popsicles and send them to special ed. Sometimes we make up excuses for going to special schools, like "you can't hear well and they don't let deaf people in public schools"."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Leaving out the fact that I was the top student in my class in a school of 400 kids in that grade.His disability that is most obvious is mental retardation. He wasn't bullied because in Canada we do not bully mental retards. We give them popsicles and send them to special ed.

As for the bullies - I was short Irish kid with a temper. Somebody tried to sit on me - ended up crying to his mom. One guy wanted to fight so I hit him, busted his nose - got detention and after that pretty much nobody messed with me.
Third time was a bit funny - toughest kid in the school jumps me picks me up to spin me straight out of bel air, but I grabbed his chain. He starts up the spin and breaks his nice and fancy chains. Drops me, bends over to pick up his stuff and I walk away.
3 fights nobody landed a hit on me.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; August 3, 2012, 20:10.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

All of my fights were in the preteen years except for 2. Lost one when I was about 18 or 19, and a draw when I was 21.
Most of my preteen fights were with 1 or the other of my 2 best friends.
