    Get in a good one, and then run was my tactic. Soon built up a reputation.

    It's such a pity people can't work things out between them. Calling the cops or suing as the first resort is weak and cowardly. People who behave in this manner have neither my respect or sympathy - they are a waste of space and a waste of the cops time and the courts time.

    Of course if civilised discussion doesn't resolve the situation then calling the cops is sure better than exercising violence. However both running to the cops or resorting to violence are both bad examples for the kids if that is the only way you can resolve differences.

    That is an anger management problem?

    Then again, the mother of the brat asked to let go and she didnt let go.

    Mmmmmmmm, probably more to the story than she let on.
    You are a harsh man Mr dazzler.



    Sorry guys, I don’t know the whole story in details. Still it is difficult for her. I think she must have pleaded not guilty 6 months ago then was convicted last week. Or something like that.

    My wife said the mother of the boy was a very nasty woman.

    Don't you know that it was all your friends fault for not bringing up her kid to be an agressive .........

    Have you all thought how unfair the modern system is to bullies, after all they are only doing their thing.

    Maybe they should start law suits against the system because their rights are being curtailed.

    Yes, like in the days of my youth in Amsterdam, where I learned that attack was the best form of defence against bullies.

    And no such pommy ideas as the Marquis of Queensbury rules, cricket or rugby as that was for loosers. A swift kick in the guts followed with a headbut works wonders.

    Ofcourse, I don't advocate fighting but these are the things I've taught my daughters in case they have to defend themselves.

    I've started my 5 yr old at kung fu. And I've started doing it with him (I figured that I used to be able to get by on youth, speed and strength. Now I'm old, slow and lazy. Might need some skills....)

    I will start my remaining two children as soon as they are old enough. They should all be black belts by the time they turn 12. This will give them the discipline to avoid 99% of fights, and the ability to win the ones they can't avoid. My niece and nephew are both karate black belts, neither ever had a fight at school and I feel genuinely sorry for anyone foolish enough to attack them. And the nice thing is that if I can stay injury free I should get my own black belt in 4 years or so. Might not be able to do anything about being old, but the slow and lazy bits can be fixed.

    I believe that as a society we've encouraged people to not take responsibility for their own actions (or their children's actions), and now we are starting to see the awful results. I teach my children every way I can that they are responsible for their own actions and their own lives - if only every parent did this! And if only our politicians and our courts did it too!
