Most of the World can't afford to watch a better sport. In America we have options and lots of choices so therefore we don't waste our time with Soccer.

Sorry we live in an age where progress happens. Get a real damn stop clock, a few more on field refs, and cut the size of the field down to promote more scoring. TADA! Game is fast, there is less flopping, and no more bullshit extra time. You'd have a sport worth watching then.

You can have whatever opinion you want. But, when you're trying to play I know exactly what happened impartial line and you have bias it isn't probably playing out like that. Also, the purpose of a blog is to get responses so when I reply to it I'm still fulfilling the function of the blog. TADA!

In the previous experiment, Mike Ditka had to have his jaws pried off the deer carcass and be resuscitated.

Great but Kat added to the kids story. That's even admitted as speculation by Kat based on previous experience. The only thing the kid admitted so far was the gay slur and the punch.

"The entire purpose of your comments is to call into question the narrative of abuse survivors."

Yes. You call into question all…

Someone who read the exact same events as Kat did. When you say this happened to me as well and then assume everything that happened to you was the same shows preference and bias. That being said, Kat and I talked regarding the situation in a few other comment threads and both of us are fine about this. Keep flipping…

The same ones used by Rutgers duh!

Actually, I think that's sort of the point I was getting at to a degree we just worded it differently. Eventually after enough time you want to take it out on other people despite the fact they didn't deserve it. That seems to be both of our basic arguments to a degree unless I'm misunderstanding that.

Yeah people that never did martial arts/boxing/ or some self defense type classes don't ever seem to realize that one. There's a reason in most of the super basic self defense classes they emphasis a palm strike more than a punch.

Yeah, I have no problem with the trauma argument just the cornered argument. Aside from that we seem to be good which can probably stop me from responding to the rest of these responses as we agree on that. I think I brought this up via a few threads but this covers it dead on.

You say that like it's something that's hard to do. There's a reason boxers wrap up and wear gloves when fighting/training and it's not as much about protecting the head as it is the hands. The hands are delicate especially when you slam them against a bone that's specially made to protect the most vital part of your…

"Administrators and school boards/districts seem to only be interested in washing their hands of potential liability rather than doing their jobs of enriching the lives of children."

Yeah that is ridiculous. Honestly, it's way too easy to sue people for money in America and that leads to a ton of problems that need to…

I didn't realize that in addition to traffic tickets the Virginia courts were so stupid.

"The bullied don't willingly get into altercations, we run if we can. We escalate physically only if it's our best hope for escape."

Now that can easily be dis-proven by about every single school shooting. Also, there are plenty of people that just get fed up with bullshit and snap. There could be 0 threat of imminent…

The robbery analogy isn't the best but you're still under the assumption they held him back in some way/detained him. That's your argument in every thread.

I'm just going to leave that here as it has nothing to do with how to deal with violence at all.

"I'm not stupid. I can read between the lines. I can look at how bullies operate. I can draw on my personal experiences. And I am not backing down from my reasonable, educated conclusion that patterns of bullying gives a probability for a physical abuse which is high. So high, that I would be dishonest in seriously…

You considering you don't have full facts either and the only facts are that there was a gay slur and that Martin struck first you could be victim blaming as well. The gay person isn't always in the right.

"Sure, it's possible that these kids were never physically violent or threatening and Eric just has a short fuse and was soooooo scary with his single thrown punch he had to be beaten to the point of hospitalisation by a group of kids.... "

You also leave out he could have been constantly bullied and then one day some…

I'd imagine it landed and that's where the broken hand came from. It's actually pretty easy to break a hand punching someone hard in the head. That's part of the reason boxers and MMA fighters wear gloves. It's more for the hands than the head as you can easily break a wrist or hand hitting the skull hard and off.
