    Listen bud....either you're deliberately being ignorant, stupid, or both.

    Re-read the first two pages of this thread. My first reply was not to embark on a false sense of entitlement or trying to establish "I am right and everyone is wrong", the first thing I took umbrage with was this reply:

    Now I understand the mentality of keyboard-warriors include symptoms like 'I know everything'-syndrome, 'you're a nazi'-syndrome, and 'omg you disagreed with me'-syndrome, but their responses were totally unacceptable and the only reason they're upset is because I didn't agree with their dumb, nonsensical "advice".

    Hello Pot...
    ...Meet Kettle

    How do they know? Well they know everything remember? Clearly the world would be a better place if black people stopped acting so black, Jews stopped acting so jewish, and gays stopped acting so gay :roll:

    I haven't said anything here I wouldn't say to somebodies face. You can see being blunt, giving advice as being a keyboard warrior if you want, that's up to you. Maybe when you grow up you'll realise it's good advice.

    How old are you anyway, about 15?

    My advice was simple: "Don't make yourself a target."

    Get angry about how I worded it all you want, you're not gonna hurt my feelings any. Some of us develop people skills, self defense skills, survival instincts ('street smarts'), etc in order to help us out of or prevent difficult situations. Others think they can get by with just self defense.

    I still stand by that original post. You made one post on here and from it a reader can gather that you are gay and that you get into a lot of fights with people who don't like gay people. The solution is obvious, and you know it. You want to have your cake and eat it too. You want to be able to kick anyone's ass if they give you ****. You already try to. You don't ever have to.

    Your attitude is ridiculous. People are not going to like you in the gym. They're going to put beatings on you happily whenever they get the chance.

    Your coach won't like you. Nor will he like wasting his time teaching boxing to a person who's never going to box. Boxing coaches didn't spend years developing their art so that you can win your little schoolboy honor fights.

    i havent been on these boards in a couple of months, and it seems that VIRUS is still with his same old bull****...[with out a girlfriend] You can't ask for advice from these boards....maybe 2 or three people know what advice to give you, while the other's repeat the same old **** week in and week out. Here's my advice...research it youself. and the rest of you could honestly eat a dick because none of you lame esber's with huge egos loggin on here every day actually compete...:-(

    And your first post back is about me.... again. Seriously? You have a real hard-on for me don't you? It seems half your posts are attempts at insulting me.

    All these guys have said the same as me or just outright insulted the guy, yet you single me out yet again? So sad you waste your precious time on this forum attempting to insult someone when you apparently hate this board and find it pointless.

    Lets look at some of the advice given...

    Stop being so gay, as in acting overly camp.
    Go to self defence classes (Krav Maga).
    Avoid fights.
    Walk away from fights.
    Carry a weapon.

    The bold parts are the pieces of advice given by me. Please explain how any of that is bull****.

    I don't get if this what meant to be an insult. Just :patsch The fact you'd even bring up such an irrelevant point shows how immature you are. Are you still in school or what?

    Whether anybody competes or not is completely irrelevant to this thread.

    I haven't seen anyone with an ego problem on this thread apart from the OP. Everyone else has given advice from their experience. Why you've jumped in attacking me I don't know. Doesn't surprise me, though, not like it's the first time you've randomly jumped into a thread trying to start BS with me.

    It's kind of funny isn't it? Part of his advice was "Boxing can't help with self-defense", despite the reason I asked the question in the first place was because of so many professional fighters recommending it for self-defense. I mean this guy is so goddamn stupid that he figures if you pit an amateur boxer vs a drunk, the chance of the boxer winning is irrelevant LOL

    Actually, ****-for-brains, it is relevant.

    Did you think I came here looking for advice from people who've beat 'story mode' on Fight Night? The only reason you have your panties in a knot is because I'm not blindly accepting your nonsensical advice.

    lol...don't you get it you idiot? It's not an "act", people aren't acting, it's who they are.

    Are there some people who put on an "act", who cares? There are being who act "black", act "gay", or (in your case), act like they're intelligent, but that doesn't mean that because some put on an act, or because some idiots like yourself find it offensive, that they should stop.

    Not a single person born with a set of testicles would've just left the restaurant, maybe you because you're a moron who hasn't seen the sun since 2004, but for anyone else in my situation they would've stood up for themselves -fact.

    Nobody has said that. Boxing can be used as self defense but you don't box for self defence. Poor attempt at bending what I said.

    Boxing is a sport, not self defence. You asked for a way of defending yourself. I said go to Krav Maga which is self defence. You get it yet?

    Where did I say this?

    Oh. Ok. So only boxers that compete can give an opinion on self defence? Makes perfect sense.

    Not really, most kids are like you. I'm trying to get a point across. Obviously you're to dense to get it.

    Maybe you should go back and read what was said, clearly reading comprehsion isn't your strong point. I said "Lets look at some of the advice given" and gave what somebody else said as an example. I even said "The bold parts are the pieces of advice given by me" Now after reading this anyone with a single brain cell would realise I did not give that advice as it's not in bold. You on the other hand...

    Ohhh. So now it's a man thing. Pathetic. Like I said earlier in the thread you have no idea about the world. One day you'll work this out.

    I seen it a few hours ago....

    It depends on what you mean by stand up for themselves. I would have spoken to the workers and told them to get the manager to remove the guy. If they refused I would have called the police, made an official complaint and sued if the guy had injured me. But you know, I'm not an immature kid that thinks he knows it all like yourself. I like to think about my future employability and living my life as an adult, not getting into pathetic, pointless fights against kids in Mcdonalds. Clearly if this happens in your hood you're gonna hand out an ass whoopin'. Or just get beat up..... again.

    Dude who are these pro boxers you speak of? And again, they're pros. They're REALLY REALLY good, and REALLY REALLY tough. They're also in great shape. And they're generally smart enough to stay out of streetfights.


    I don't care if you were born with a big blue buttplug in your ass. Wear some pants. Your sex life is not something people have to be able to tell anything about when they see you or hear you talk or read your posts on ESB. Sure you might be proud of who you are and want to share it with the world, but my point was that it's not working out too well for you.

    Compromise? How about you be a little more low-key while you're learning how to fight. Then after you're a badass, you can dress up like Mr. Slave and dare anyone to come at you. But right now you're just a target.

    Don't accuse us of being offended. Nobody came at you for being gay until you started showing your ingnorance, and then only a few did.

    The reason you should 'stop' is that it's getting you beaten up. It could potentially get you jailed as well, have you considered that? And if we can tell you're gay over the internet...well use your imagination. Hope you like it rough...


    Yeah, but we probably wouldn't have just sat there passivley allowing the situation to escalate. I for damn sure wouldn't have been sitting down once he got up and approached me. Are you ******ed? This is why Virus suggesated self-defense classes: they teach you the finer points of not getting beaten up. Do you want a person to attack you while you're seated at a restaurant table/booth? Or do you want space to work with? Do you want to indicate to the guy that you aren't afraid of him and aren't playing. Do you want to put yourself between the guy and your friends?

    I don't think you should have left. Nor do I think you should have had to fight. But there's a LOT you could have done besides sit there ignoring him until he did something.

    But anyway. You go to a gym yet?
