[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] You. Need. Help. Okay, let's look at this rationally. (I know, that will be a little difficult for some of us, but try anyway.) #1. People have the right to think and say whatever they feel to be true. If you disagree with this fact, It is my opinion that you should go and destroy yourself as quickly as possible, because you will end up becoming the very tyrannical oppressive type which you so abhor. We don't need any more of those. #2. Saying what you think in front of a group of people who are quite obviously going to be opposed to what you are saying is... well, it's not displaying a survival instinct. It's tactless, boorish, and, well, STUPID. #3. Stupidity is grounds for not re-electing someone. It is not, however, grounds for assault and battery. People who strike at words are, in my opinion, WEAK. When speaking your mind becomes illegal, then we will have entered the era of the police state. If a person does not want to be attacked for what they are, and is not willing to put up the fight if they are, then they should not attack others for what THEY are. Now: on fighting back. If you choose the path of non-violence, which is the best path to keep yourself out of trouble and alive (because remember, there is ALWAYS someone better), there are three prevailing options, depending upon the situation. 1: Dialogue and Education: TALK to other people about what you think and feel. Have some tact. Be polite. Don't yell or get in their face. LISTEN to THEM. Discuss things. You will find that if you put forth a good enough argument, most individuals will listen to what you have to say. Some of them might even THINK about it. Even YOU might learn something. This is the best way to combat people like an idiot representative. The court of public opinion. 2: Ignore it: This option is good in school, IF there is no real danger of escalation. Listen, most of the people who will give you a problem are morons. Who cares for the opinion of a moron? You shouldn't. I don't. Only if the moron becomes a legitimate threat. 3: Similar to 2. Laugh at it. Nothing devastates a fool like the realization that he's being laughed AT, and not with. For this, it may take slightly more direct measures, and a bit of wit, and a command of the english language. "You, sir, have the intellect of a hamster, and the penis of a rat." "Do the world a favor.. NEVER breed." For those who choose, or are at last, forced, to use the path of violence, I offer these bits of advice: Know your enemy. If he is the type who will stay away after a sound thrashing, go to it. If he's the type who'll just get madder and come back later, reconsider. Because you will probably have to kill him. If so, it's better to know that going in than after he retaliates. If you are not willing to do what must be done, do not engage. There are always consequences to any violent action. You may be witnesed, caught, and punished. You may lose. You may even develop a conscience. If you are not willing to deal with the repurcussions, do not engage. Wear gloves. Blood is traceable, even after its washed off. [/QB][/QUOTE]
