Is it still socially acceptable to "sort it outside"

googlefan

Hello all,

The name pretty much says it all really. I, and another young man often bicker, are probably similar in some aspects of our charachters, but can't get along at all. Its getting worse as time goes on. Unfortunately, all our friends are friends. So, as much as we try and avoid it, we are in daily contact.

I haven't had a row since primary school, but I'd love to tear the head off him. I'd say he'd feel the same. I think it'd remove the tension.

Back to point, do people think this is totally wrong? Or, does anyone like me yearn for the old fashioned days of manliness and sorting things out man to man?

Go work it out.

Edit: Not condoning in senseless violence but I'm saying go out and have a proper box. Find yourself a boxing club, go in, follow the rules, have a ref, and sort it out like gentlemen.

Nice. They are actually decent value as well!

Fight to the death!


No seriously, take it into a ring with gloves:P

Whosbetter?

Of course it is!

Why not? Often did it when I was younger.

Nothing like taking a few good hidings at that stage to put you off violence for life!:D:D:D

hello_there_jim

What happened to that 'White Collar Boxing' craze? Quite popular at one point.

Your "friend" is the part of your personality that is everything you wish you were.

Watch fight club, then kick the sh1t out of him....then come and live in my basement with the other space monkeys.

In fairness Tony, hes very much there alright. Couldn't miss him the bastard.

Fight club-what a movie though. Anyone up for establishing an Irish version?

Overheal

Twice I think, it was sorted sorta gentlemanly.

The first time I was stoned and said something obnoxious to my brothers friend. So he conned me into boxing with the pads and the gloves. I got winded for sure, but no harm done, and he felt better. An experience really.

The second time my TKD teacher was teaching us kicks. I missed the padded target he was holding at struck the poor man in the gonads. He dutifully waited till the end of the session then called for a sparring match. In which, naturally, he totally kicked my ass with a series of kicks that sent me back yards. The only thing injured was my pride though. Thank god for pads.

Its a perfectly good way to vent frustrations tbh. Just don't resort to savagery.

I like the idea of it more than actually doing it. Although I guess that's the point. Count me in. Rule 9 though, no punching in the face on a work night.

Thats the rule about the film. I may come up with new rules...

You just broke rule one.

I was going to suggest pistols at sunrise, but I think arming both of you with high calibre rifles and having you stalk each other throughout an eerie, mist-filled forest with the dusk moon throwing it's dusty light upon the pointed treetops that stretched as far as the eye could see in the waning light would be a far better suggestion.

Also, you have knives.

....and hopefully lubricant by the sound of it.

That doesn't sound all that bad in a warped kind of way. I have my own camoflage paint...

Note sure about the lube though.

I say you ought to challenge him to a hundred and ten rounds of pugalism ,Queensbury rules.Handshakes and ale afterwards.

If true, your "teacher" is a disgrace to martial arts and I'd advise you find someone new.

I'll wager 400 quatloos on the newcomer.

It wasnt like that, really. He was a great teacher and I'd still be going if I still attended college there.

Only 12 rounds allowed in Queensbury rules kind sir. I feel the London Prize Ring rules would be more appropriate...

Ha! Theyd both be on the ground breathless by the end of two :pac:

My apologies old chap but wasnt the London Prize Ring rules revised after the publication of the Marquess' Rules? A dashed sad day for us sporting types.

googlefan

Indeed you are correct. Yet if we want one hundred and ten rounds we will have to resort to the old fashioned way of doing thigs.

Now, where did I leave my bottle of port...

Diabhal Beag

Sort it out like through non-scumbag ways. You can never be sure who can attack you fom behind and leave you for dead.

That rule was specifically engineered because it was obvious people would break it.

Fight Club and indeed Project Mayhem depends on that rule being broken.

However, an unbreakable rule is you do not talk about Fight Club on an open forum.

Or what?

When I was a teenager it was ok to sort it out. Nowadays they are all bitches and by the time ya get outside they seem to have 10 mates behind them. If that happens your gonna lose obviously. But just make sure to catch him on his own and kick the bejaysus outta him. Could do better and kick the crap outta his father but that brings ya down to their level. A few slaps and he be sorted. Leave it at that though and dont go over board on him.

I'm sorry but i didn't even read your post. I'm only going by the thread title.

No it is not OK to take out side and I'm so sure many self respecting men/wimmins will tell you the same thing.

Example for tonight: silly tall pretty girl towering over my short little ass, bumped into me and thought she was funny. Have no idea what she said to me BUT i was quick witted and knocked her back and all the lads/girls around us laughed at her and she felt like a tool and walked away.

IF i was a scumbag i would have "sorted her outside" but i don't think anyone does that anymore and if they do then they're fúcking idiots.

Theres a flaw in your plan. Ya dont know what she said so how where ya quick witted. Ya cant be quick witted unless ya know what they said. Unless ya just use a generic witty reply.

I was/am in the exact same situation as OP, offered the guy the option of stepping outside twice but just ended up looking like the villian:rolleyes:

These days it's more socially acceptable to sort it outside with a dance off.

OP I recommend you buy some movies like footloose so you can easily settle your conflicts

no a scumbag would have thrown the punch righ away. To sort it outside shows passion, to fight for what you believe in. If you dont like it, then i suggest we sort this outside. PM me ur address as im short of cash and more than likely need bus fair! :pac:

Sounds like repressed sexual tension. Man up, ignore homophobic societal mores and get it on together.

You are a girl. I am not. Different things are socially acceptable for us. It isn't acceptable to walk around Tesco on a Wednesday afternoon in my pj's and have faded orange paint on my skin.

A_SN

When I was younger I used to make myself enemies and look for any occasion to punch them in the face. But then I spent more time on the Internets with often annoying people, but in places where I wanted to stay I soon found out that not only you can't punch them, but insulting them isn't going to make them go away or be less annoying. So I had to learn at last to use humour, wit, self derision, deflection etc... Now I'm really good friends with the guys I wanted to beat the **** out of, they're still pretty annoying but I know how to deal with that now. I guess I learnt to cope with anger at a later age than most people, and that wasn't an easy lesson, but certainly a most valuable one! That being said I guess I still can be annoyed into wanting to fight...

Oh by the way, if you're gonna punch him with other people around, try to make sure that your common friends like you more than they like him. Things can get complicated if you're the less popular one :pac:

Then when he's least expecting,
BANG, the old fork in the eye...

Yes, it did become awkward for friends at one point. It flared up at one stage, a horrible claim was made by the other side. I had never heard the likes of it and went for him. Luckily for him four of our friends happened to be there and got him out of there just in time.

What followed was a terrible period of hostility, and the others made a point of staying out of it which was responsible. It was put aside for them really. I would have totally forgiven, but never got an apology. I think he wanted one for my reaction, but neither of us would be prepared to make the first move as each believes they were correct.

Anyway, the ceasefire didn't last forever. Bitchyness and insults were cleverly added into conversations which started off a little tamely, but its getting a little more obvious now. Love a couple of rounds in the ring!

Wossack

when you say to him to take it outside, you run on ahead. Then, when he gets outside and stands in the middle of the street looking for you - BAM, hit him with your car
