    Im not, in the least. Ive been told I look quite intimidating and as im tall I usually don't get any hassle but I couldn't hurt someone. The only situation was if family were in imminent danger and I had to use force then yes, but even then it would be tough.

    What about you, do you have violence in you?

    Sometimes I wish I was, there's people who could do with a serious kick in the hole, but I get a bursting headache if I give out even a little bit too much, so it looks like I am not cut out for the cut-throat life. :(

    No but if somebody started attacking me I would try and defend myself!

    I think there is violence in me but it is far out weighed by cowardice and fear of getting my own arse kicked.

    No, I'm very placid. And I'll kick the fuck out of any cunt who says otherwise.

    I internalise my anger and give myself a good kicking instead of others. I should start kicking others instead :D

    I believe there’s violence in everyone, it just comes out of some a lot easier than others.

    If needs be then yes.

    Unpopular opinion these days but I really think a man should be able to look after himself and take no bull from anyone.

    Yes I have know to thrown a box or two . Anyone gets in my face I stick the head .

    My instinct would be to call for calm and take a diplomatic approach however I do have the ability inside to act violently. I know this because there have been times when I lost it and behaved terribly. Thankfully those times are behind me now.

    Everyone is violent; it's human nature. When people say they're non-violent, what they really mean is they let someone else do the dirty work so they can enjoy that status.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    I'm good at controlling my anger. I rarely let it get the better of me.

    Not violent at all, but I'm well able to look after myself and my loved one's.

    If it came to self defense and my option of walking away was unfortunately unavoidable, your be dam sure I'd come out as good as possible.

    I avoid conflict and a bit of a lone wolf, so I don't get any hassel.

    I was in the big smoke and approached by a junkie with a knife in temple bar back in the early 00's I told him if he doesn't walk away I'll take his pocket boyscout knife off him shove it up his arse.

    Risky I know, but he was so shocked he apologized and walked away....

    I wouldn't have shoved it up his arse, probably throw it away or something.

    These people only understand violence, unfortunately they don't have diplomacy.

    Everyone is violent, we just have different breaking points, self respect and persecution complexes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,660 ✭✭✭armaghlad


    Sometimes the threat of violence is enough when it comes to self defence. I’m not violent by nature and like most rational people will take the diplomatic approach first and foremost. Some people enjoy confrontation and seem to go out of their way to find it, often best not to give them what they want. If the wellbeing of you or your friends/family is at risk though, do what you have to do.

    No I'm a angel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    Am I a violent person? No I am not but unfortunately I have been on the receiving end of violence in school and outside of it too.

    In my job I have been assaulted on a few occasions and in some I've had to just stay calm and take it and others I have had to defend myself by hitting back.

    I can be pretty aggressive, this one time I went ballistic and slammed a door.

    Avoid violence as I suffer from chronic pain, if I got a punch in the jaw, I'd be feeling it twelve months later


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,857 ✭✭✭professore


    If I get attacked I attack back. Otherwise no.
