Posted by Jaresh Inyo on :

I hate people who lack even the most basic maturity. My sister, who's 12,, had a basketball thrown at her head by some 14 year old who has a crush on her. I, of course, in a fit of rage (only I can do that!) began planning revenge. I'm 6'4, 230 lbs, so I figured I should be able to intimidate a grade 8. But, just as a had finalized my plans to surround him and give him the standard "Touch my sister ever again and I'll..." speech, my mother found out. That is bad, since I would have needed parental permission to get to his school on time. So, now I can do nothing.

When I was in grade eight, I had a crush on a girl who was in the grade below. Hell, two and half years later I still like her! But I never threw basketballs at her! *Fumes*

Well, perhaps the only positive is that today his grade came for a tour of my high school. When a group of his classmates (Not sure if he was in that batch) was shown into my math class, I stood up, all one hundred and ninety three centimeters of me, and bellowed in my deep voice "Which one of you has been throwing basketballs at my sister?!?"

Silence.

Hopefully that will send him a message. Even if he wasn't there, one of his friends should notify him that Pamela is not the girl to throw basketballs at anymore. *Cackles evilly*

Me: Oh, I agree. I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift.
Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

Doesn't your planning to scare this kid by threatening him (verbally or non-verbally) with physical violence show your immaturity? I mean, if you have to solve problems with violence, then you had better figure out a new plan before you enter the so-called 'real world'...

(not to confuse, violence is pretty effective...just not the smartest path)

I think the violence started with the thrown basketball.
Now, although violence may be "uncivil," it can have its uses.

F'rinstance, when violence has already occured.

Here:
My new dog got the bright idea that she'd like to be dominant over our housecat, whose been with us for many a year.
So she barked at him.
The cat, being a cat, ignored this.
Until she jumped on him and tried to bite on his neck.

He shredded her nose.
She hasn't bothered him since.

There's a saying that goes "those who play with cats must expect to be scratched."

Those who throw basketballs at little sisters must expect to be pummelled by big brothers.

If you can suggest a better way to get him to stop hurting my sister, I'm all years. The school refuses to deal with it, since they think (Correctly so) that its just a crush. However, that's not an excuse as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't hurt him, just tell him to leave her alone. Just the sight of me would be enough to convince him to listen.

Posted by Cargile (Member # 45) on :

Yes, yes, but animals do not have the ability to reason and work out differences diplomatically. An animal analogy does not work.

The school has rules, and if you feel like you have been treated unjustly, or feel that someone else has been treated unjustly, you report them to the appropiate authorities who have the responcibility to take care of misconduct. Taking the law into ones own hands creates a lawless society, which we are fast approaching because no one wants to use a system they feel doesn't work.
Also, was anyone really hurt in this basketball incident, besides conceptual emotions of pride and honor? Are you actually looking for an excuse to act out violently? Are you letting your anger make desicions for you?

And has it ever occured to you that perhapes the actual contact between basketball and sister's head was accidental and the ball was meant to land near her as to get her attention? He hasn't appologized because he may feel embarrased.

Once might have been accidental. Twice even. But not every recess for weeks. And I'm not acting out of anger. I'm not bully for Godsakes! I'm angry at the little punk, but I wouldn't touch him. I've been provoked directly worse than this before, last year an enemy of mine put together a gang of people to beat me up. I found out about it, and got the guy alone. I didn't touch him. I scared him, yes, but didn't touch him. I said it in the first post, and now I'll say it again for all the idiots who think I'm about to pull a Columbine THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STANDING UP TALL AND YELLING AT SOMEONE FROM OVER A FENCE TO BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. I would have thought I made my lack of desire to attack him physically readily apparent in my first post. My second post was dark humor, not befitting of a smiley because the situation isn't funny.

To reiterate, if I wouldn't hit a guy my age when he was gathering people to attack me and my best friend, I'm not going to hit a 14 year old. Scare him yes, but not hurt him. That's not necessary, and, frankly, I have no interest in being arrested when a raised voice could accomplish the same frickin' thing. Clear?

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

*wonders when the last time was that diplomacy worked on a 14-year-old. Maybe back when some of them were still ruling countries, when the old king died too early..*

Now, were we talking "peace in our time" diplomacy, or "GTHOOOG" diplomacy?

*wonders when the last time was that a school actually enforced its rules equally, fairly and efficiently.*

Surely not during MY educational experience, when the futbal heroez had the run of the place, and anybody not involved with athletics or "cutesy" stuff (cheerleaders, pep, yearbook, etc) was a second-class citizen.
And coming down the pike: A directive that will forbid teachers from suspending or otherwise punishing a student without parental permission... yeah, THAT'LL help.
I only scoff at "going to school authorities" because:
1) I remember doing that on a number of occasions, and it never helped.
2) Both my parents are teachers, and I hear from them daily how ineffective the authorities are, and how impossible it is to get anything of that sort recognized and attended to.

Anyway, I feel Jaresh addressed the rest of the concerns raised in his message above.

If I had a little sister, however, and someone was REPEATEDLY throwing basketballs at her... I do not know if I could be so inclined towards nonviolence as he is. But then, I have a problem with anger in situations like that, and I know it.

*strips out of the changling suit* E-hem!
Maybe she is supposed to catch the basketballs?

I'm all for the downfall of the American Empire. Civil unrest! Riot! Reign in anarchy! Death to the Infidels! The basketball throwers shall be crushed by the mighty war machine of the Just and Loyal Defenders of Sisters! They shall hand from the trees until dead, dead, dead. They shall be impaled and paraded in the streets! Then there will be a big feast and orgy.
Can't leave out the orgy.

Posted by Jaresh Inyo on :

Cargile, according to your logic he could be measuring the kinetic energy contained within a basketball. But he isn't. He's doing it to get her attention. THAT'S ALL. If you're going to throw bullshit answers around, why don't you keep it to yourself. If you have any thoughts that are not designed to give me a hard time, please, post them. Otherwise, lets keep the loading time down.

I could go for a feast and orgy, though.

6'4" and still in high school. I hate kids who are taller than me.

230 pounds... 6 pounds less than Homer Simpson. And I probabyl shouldn't have said that out loud.

Couldn't your sister just ask him out? It's crazy, but it just might work.

And when they're at the park, she whacks him with a two by four.

Hey! In Cargile's defense, you probably mightn't have thought of the feast n' orgy on your own (or at least not so soon). If you're offended by dissenting opinion, why bother posting it here (the flameboard), where some folks truly believe that no idea is validated until someone disagrees with it?

Posted by Jaresh Inyo on :

I'm not offended by dissenting opinion at all. I'm offended when someone makes light of a very serious situation. Him throwing ridiculous ideas out, trying to justify that ball throwing, does offend me. However, since he is hosting the feast and orgy...

*Clears throat*

I love you...

PS. I like Liam's suggestion...

Posted by Cargile (Member # 45) on :

This being the last post of mine here until I decide to post again, the post of mine second to the last, this post being understood as the last post of mine, was for the amusement of The Excaliber who suggested the previous post of mine was "out of character", in that that post in which he was refering to showed unusual moral standing of which I am not known to express. So in good humor of returning to amoral, and/or immoral attitudes I presented the second to last post of mine.

And I make light of serious situations because its the only way I can cope with the pain, man!I'm too sensitive! It tears me apart!
