Earn more and move out.

Raikes, I remember a while back you mentioned not boozing up and the first advantage thereof you mentioned was the clear-headed ability to duff up some ****head...do you not imagine I'd be a lot more embarrassed than intimidated at the thought of drinking in the same establishment as some hillbilly who can't hold his booze?? Not so much "Oh, sh1t" as just, "Ewwwwww, yuck!!". If I have to fight some guy in a crappy place, and win the fight, I HAVE STILL LOST - by being in a crappy place first off, and all I get is knuckles that hurt.

Honestly, I don't understand the appeal of being 'hard' - my size, for fatter or leaner, has always deterred aggro anyway, and only on very rare occasions has it encouraged a much smaller person (no Tom jokes, ok?) to have a go. Why go looking for it?

Why glorify actual, real-life violence? What can possibly be COOL about it???

Keyser.
Watching the UFC is about as violent as my life gets lol.

And if your talking about me as one of the many who harbours a deep wish to be a hardnut - I dont think Ive claimed to be hard or violent for that matter, and I hate the thought of being a hardman - or people thinking i am . Once again im just a normal dude.

I think your the only person Ive threatened on here with violence lol, and that was only because you said something about kicking a women in the stomach to kill an unborn child - which kind of got to me a bit - what with my wife being pregnant and all - funny that.
