• Never ever. I would get my ass completely kicked. Even when wresting with my girl friends (ooh la la!) who are tinier than me I get my ass kicked. I just don't have that rage in me.

• As a kid, damned near every day until I was about 14 and realized everyone but me was growing and eventually I was gonna get my ass really kicked. I'm the youngest of 13, so even though I was smaller than all my classmates, I was used to being beat on by kids much older and bigger than me (my siblings), so fighting with kids my own age was a piece of cake. I got my butt kicked sometimes, but it was never any fun for the kicker; I fight dirty. As an adult, I've been invited to fight a couple times, but would prefer not to go to jail for assault or have my teeth busted out or get fired. I hate fighting. Always did. Adrenaline rushes make me really sick. But I guess I just came from a kind of a violent family and that's how I dealt with things as a kid. These days, I'm not even remotely confrontational, but I would decidedly defend myself if physically attacked.

• Sort of. I was in eighth grade, coming out of choir, and a kid tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and he punched me in the face. I fell backwards, and a second later a Vice Principal came out of his office and broke us up. I got a three day suspension for being in a fight, and I have no idea why he was pissed at me.

• Yep, twice. Once in senior year; l got my ass kicked. Once back in probably '02. l hit her once and knocked her out. l didn't start either one, nor am l proud of either one. l'm a lover, not a fighter. freikja answered in Whatever 26 days ago | Report 4 0 Comment on this answer Enter a comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit

• Yes, living in Ireland. Those people love to fucking fight! And the police kind of egg you on... Out of curiosity Granny Smith, what about you? Did you just get into a fish fight for the first time? What prompted this question? ChlorophyllLover answered in Whatever 26 days ago | Report 3 0 4 comments by Granny Smith, Geni, and James… I'm a lover, not a fighter. To me, the most interesting questions here are about the everyday lives we live. It is especially interesting to match a persons combative on-line style with actual real-time violence. Granny Smith commented 25 days ago | Report Maybe that's why I grew up fighting. My family is VERY VERY Irish. All us kids fought like cats and dogs, so school fights were actually somewhat more peaceable than my home life. Geni commented 25 days ago | Report Fish fights are the best! James commented 25 days ago | Report Usually I prefer FIST fights, but when FISH fights occur there are yummy sashimi-based end results (assuming my opponent brings wasabi and soy sauce).

• I got punched in the face once... I was punched in the face then I ran away- she was a softball player- much bigger than I was. Dont ever make out witha softball player's boyfriend if you know she can kick you ass, even if he tells you they were broken up...

• I got in a small fight in 8th grade. I was weak and had noodley arms. Lose. A year ago me and my friend decided we'd never been in fights and wanted to be in one so we had a drunken (no face punches) "fight". It was fun but, y'know, my face was fine so... whatever. Hopefully we'll do it again soon. James answered in Whatever 26 days ago | Report 2 0 3 comments by freikja, James, and freikja… Sparring and fighting are two different things, l think. l have male friends who spar all the time, and while they do occasionally hurt each other (especially drunk; l don't think you quite realize your strength in that state), it's accidental, and always friendly. freikja commented 25 days ago | Report Well we were definitely trying and succeeding at hurting each other. James commented 25 days ago | Report l wonder if this falls under Sam Motley's definition of "fight". freikja commented 24 days ago | Report Enter a comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit

• Why not yet, though the thought of pulverizing you is quite appealing. Stewie Griffin answered in Whatever 26 days ago | Report 3 5 6 comments by Granny Smith, freikja, and Granny Smith… Bring it, little man. Granny Smith commented 26 days ago | Report To the downvoters....l may be wrong, but l get the feeling this isn't a serious answer, and that Stewie is simply in character. And if you watch Family Guy, it is quite in character. Humor, folks, it's called humor. freikja commented 25 days ago | Report Fucking hilarious until you are the one being threatened. In another post he suggested I should be baked in an oven. Insult humor shouldn't depend on watching a particular TV show. Something called "family guy" is it? Granny Smith commented 25 days ago | Report "Fucking hilarious until you are the one being threatened." Yes, but anonymous online threats are hardly cause for concern. l don't take them seriously unless they find out my personal info somehow. Otherwise, it's either a joke, or some asshole troll trying to look tough in text. "In another post he suggested I should be baked in an oven." Didn't see that, but is THAT really a 'threat' you take into consideration? Seriously, the Hansel and Gretel approach? Please forgive me, l'm not mocking you; l just see you as having thicker skin than that. "Insult humor shouldn't depend on watching a particular TV show. Something called "family guy" is it?" Yes, that's the show. Here's the thing. People create online personas all the time, and as long as that is who they're playing, rarely deviate from the role. Sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's downright fucking rude, but sometimes, this is precisely why they pick a character that's well known - so people who are familiar with that character can recognize statements that the character might make, and possibly appreciate the humor. Some are better at this than others, and often, they offend people, whether they mean to or not. l can't speak for Stewie on this one as l don't know him/her, nor any particular relationship you two might have here that l'm unaware of. l would say that if you dislike him that much, simply don't engage with him. But l think it's a waste of energy to spend much time actually feeling threatened by him. After all, he *is* a shit talking toddler, which makes him far less intimidating, don't you think? freikja commented 24 days ago | Report I already apologized to stewie and credited you with enlightening me. find that here http://questionland.thestranger.com/questions/6147-if-sue-hutchinson-wins-will-there-be-a-shortage-of-wire-clothes-hangers-in-king#ysi_a_19219 Granny Smith commented 24 days ago | Report Well, thank you, Granny! l'm flattered my thoughts even made that much of a difference. l will reiterate that this may or may not be Stewie's thing (it seems you two don't like each other that much to begin with for whatever reason), but hey, it's online drama. Who needs it? Thanks again; l really am flattered you gave my opinion any merit. Just trying to help. :) freikja commented 20 days ago | Report Enter a comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit
