A discussion on internet arguments.

Violence and dominance go hand in hand... we can remove somebody's physical ability to disagree or assert dominance over us. It's a powerful thing.

Let me go fetch your eye patch, Governor.... :dry:

Nonono don't bomb every house...in the zombie apocalypse ammo will cease production this includes rpg's (rocket propelled grenades)..your best plan is to lure them all into a narrow alley way then launch an rpg or two into the herd and finish the stragglers mischonne style....decapitation.... :evil:

Hahah Good plan, Ryu!

And, Zenchi, I'm sorry I don't get the reference.

Lol..in the walking dead the governor made a similar reference about violence and dominance....he wore an eyepatch after mischonne gouged his eye out....

I was sure you watched twd :huh:

I watch very little television. And, it's usually comedy.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Dont mistake politeness and good manners for being two faced...

You and I have gone back and forth on topics, but my manners only mean I'm polite....
And that I show you respect (and to everyone, deserved or not... lol...) and in our case, I do consider you a friend....

Perhaps it is a disconnect between conversing with people face to face vs over an internet connection. Perhaps people want to act that way in real life but do not for fear of getting in an actual fight.

Ding ding ding ding.

I'm convinced that when I was 16, I would have killed the vast majority of people I met due to me not liking them. I probably would have committed other crimes too. Sex without consent, harming myself and others, stealing, driving recklessly. I just have a horrible inside mind that wants to see the world burn around me. It's morbid curiosity, and I think it has to do with asserting dominance as a human.

It's a primal instinct we learn to put away when interacting with others.

You have to become king before you can do this stuff.

You have to become the elected leader first. So, you play nice with people. Do them favors, all the while wishing you could just suck their dick and slit their throat and throw them off the side of a cliff for fun.

Hahaha. Maybe I'm individual in that desire. But, I highly doubt it. Some of you have this beast inside of you.

I would never let it out in our current world. But, if there's ever a zombie apocalypse, you bet I'm headed for the bazookas and bombing every house I come across.

The beast side of us is at different levels in everyone. I am a lot like you in that the dark side is very strong in me. I'm dominant and even if I try to be nice I am an asshole. I like to fight in real life. When I find a person to fight me I let them hit me because I enjoy that to and then I fight back and enjoy hurting them. I find it amusing that the internet allows people to act tough but in real life they would cower like dogs who have been beat.

It's probably our life situations that make us this way which is why I can't let go of my sith ways. For example, I have been beat,raped, tortured. I have seen people killed and have killed as well. The strong rule the weak. Is it our fault we are strong? No. The force makes us what we are or just the things we have been through. Perhaps we have just been conditioned like attack dogs? Food for thought.

Hmmmm....

I see posts like this, Connie's included, and I wonder how wanting (or actually) to give in to personal desires such as these show strength?

I think it shows lack of strength...

Lack of self control....

"If the zombie apocalypse happens" means that "if the law didn't hold me back"...

Lol, self restraint shows strength...

Politeness in the face of some braggart, that someone couldn't force me to lose my cool, lol, that shows strength....

Ah well... lol...

Dont mistake politeness and good manners for being two faced...

You and I have gone back and forth on topics, but my manners only mean I'm polite....

To say what you actually think is the most polite thing you can do. It shows ultimate trust, and therefore respect.

I can say what I want without being rude, I do it all the time...

I was ready to type a long ol speech but instead I'll just say that I learned something from this thread. :laugh:

Lol, self restraint shows strength...

I believe there is merit in self-restraint.

I am just not strong enough for it. That's why I'm 350 pounds.
