Would you hurt your enemy if guaranteed to get away with it?

    First- do you have any enemies? Can be anyone- old bully, neighbour from hell or someone who robbed you.

    If you had them in a room for 2 hours and you could knock the absolute crap out of them with guaranteed no comeback, would you actually do it or would you use words (verbal) to taunt them. Kind of like The Purge but your enemy couldn't fight back..

    Most people are so full of hot air about they would do this and that but couldn't actually do it when push comes to shove.

    Enemy is a bit of a strong auld word. Sure there are some folk I don't like but I don't think I'd go so far as to say I have any enemies.

    Are you a villain OP?

    I probably do have one "enemy" anyway, but I wouldn't want to be alone with this person for 2 seconds let alone 2 hours :D So no, live and let live is my motto, and I fully believe in karma. Let it go long or short, it always comes back :) Better things to be doing with my time, like living my best life!

    I have no "enemies", only those I treat with indifference.

    Life is too short to be stewing over someone who adds nothing positive to it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    No enemies, no.

    Could I or would I deliberately hurt somebody? No.

    It doesn't take two hours to empty a mag into somebody's cranium..

    If you did that it would mean you still cared and they'd know. Why would you want to give them the satisfaction?

    Every time I’ve noticed you posting on this site you’re sniping at someone you’ve got some grudge against.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    My brother in law is the biggest prick that ever walked the earth ......

    That man doesnt need anyone to do anything to him ..... hes pretty much doing it for us all himself ....

    As they say , give them enough rope....

    That now constitutes an enemy? Lord help the world!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,214 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    No but enemy is a strong word from them.
    Maybe I'd be open to stealing from them.

    It certainly doesn’t constitute indifference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,787 ✭✭✭Feisar


    Cnut that robbed my jacket 14 years ago? If I could cause them to die roaring like a bad ass on the bog then yea. It's a bit impotent though, it's like playing a computer game in god mode. What's the point?

    First they came for the socialists...



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


    Everyone has an enemy it's called time.... And it ain't on your side...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,963 ✭✭✭D3V!L


    No enemies here either but plenty I'd love to sit back and watch burn.

    The irony. You threw in a lame dig yesterday, and you're at it again this evening. Why indulge in pettiness? You have nothing to prove to me. Let it go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    No, but there are a couple of people I'd love to send a large dose of karma to, if only it existed.

    There are 2 pricks who have done everything possible to make our life hard over last 5 years.

    One in particular, if I saw him crossing the road I'd accelerate!!

    With respect, I'm not a doormat and felt compelled to defend myself. Indifference is fine when not under direct attack. Thank you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,405 ✭✭✭Airyfairy12


    Id probably just leave the room as I tend to just avoid people I don't like


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,627 ✭✭✭Woke Hogan


    I’m lucky enough not to have any enemies. I’m also lucky enough not to need a lot of friends, apart from my wife of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,211 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    The best revenge is your survival.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    I’ve made many enemies over the years in business. Mostly cûnts who were shy in paying me. I don’t forgive and I don’t forget.

    I have done. Someone I know pulled a bad sly one and indirectly cost me a few k. 5 years later I caught him and bate him up and down the road. My foot was wrecked for a while afterwards from kicking him.

    It was very satisfying I'll admit given what the sneaky cnut did. One of my cousins got him a few weeks later and gave him a worse hiding over something else sneaky that he was caught red handed doing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭Tammy!


    Nope. Ive never referred to anyone as my enemy. It sounds bizarre to me to refer to people like that.

    Ive found when I was younger like early/mid 20's... I was more like my mam...more forgiving and would let things slide that I should not but as I've got older I'm getting more like my dad and can easily just cut people off.

    You have just admitted to assault.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,943 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    I don't like the whole no consequences, no fighting back part of the OP but otherwise, yes. While I have no one in particular in mind I would absolutely have no problem in kerb stomping some people. Wouldnt give it a second thought.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    There are one or two people in this world, I would quite happily never see again. But to cause them any kind of physical harm, no. Life is just far to short for that. Just cross the road, ignore, and get on with your life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,432 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    An enemy? Life's too short!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,495 ✭✭✭✭eviltwin


    I don't have any enemies or people I hate. I could if I was that way inclined but I believe the best revenge is living a good life.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Alot of no's so far? don't really believe that :pac:

    People don't like confrontations. The real question to ask is "if you could royally screw the person who dont like over, and be no comeback to you, would you?" - then yeah. You'd see a lot of people doing so. Officially no... unofficially of course they would.

    People usually act in the heat of the moment and dont care about repercussions till after the event

    Yes. There is a murderer that needs to be killed.

    No need to taunt, one shot to the back of the head.

    I dislike 80-90% of people I come across. But I wouldn't say that I have any enemies. Nor would I physically hurt anybody just because I dislike them.

    If I or one of family was wronged in a particularly evil way e.g someone mugged my mother, I'd probably be down for the whole eye for an eye thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 466 ✭✭cd07


    Absolutely love 2 hours in a room with a few people I hate! Just me,them a belt sander and lots of salt n vinegar....it would hurt bad
