I remember how I and friends pinched one another in the balls. That was when I was 6-8 years old. It gets boring very fast, but I could imagine that some do this at an higher age. It is the stupid things you do when you are a kid and we did laugh about it. I know of one guy who grew up in an orphanage and where they masturbated onto cookies and made each other eat them. Unimaginable for me, but they had a fun time, too.

Or listen to the kids in the background to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVE60zwXx1k


what the actual **** did i just read.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

Why argue about "griefing"? There is no such thing in eve. It's always been pushed as everyone vs everyone conflict.

So if you want a relaxing time, either take precautionary measures in eve or go play something else. Would you buy a TV and constantly whine how it doesn't vacuum the house?

Also, all these real life "elite" with super successful careers that just want to chill in game, have you ever thought that some people just maybe play a game in a way that doesn't reflect their life? You say you're chilling and relaxing but all you're doing is continuing the grind on line Lol On another note how is it that these RL elite who just like to mine and carebear come across so mentally challenged Lol ?

And the guy that likes beating up drunk people hahaha. He's so not a bully just like that thief is not really a thief because the rich can afford it, or the insurance fraudster not a fraudster because insurance companies are evil, the rapist is not a rapist coz them bitches were asking for it, serial killer who is not really a bad guy because he only kills bad people etc etc...

But whatever helps you sleep at night.

You my man are a complete asswipe lol how do you go from doing your job and being backed up by the law in doing so to being likened to a rapist? My guess is your sitting in an internet cafe after breaking into it in the middle of the night because you dont have a home and its the only way you get the net, you would be the only reason anyone including me would be pro abortion.

ok dont know why im saying this OP but


I used to be extremely violent when i was growing up. I could excuse my behavour by saying that i grew up on a sink estate but the truth is it was just me. I was always white knighting it and i never picked on anyone but i used a level of violence that was unneccessary.

I just had the knack for it and would take on all comers. Get them off balance and step in and throw an overhand right aimed about 6 inches behind there heads and when they went down it did not end there.


One day i was in the pub and a builder was getting in my face about something and i hit him so hard that i lost my balance and we both when flying. At that moment an old black man of about 70 who drank in the pub walked in the main door. It does not matter that he was black but he always wore a suit and was very respectable and dignified. We both crashed into him and sent him flying through the toilet door and he bounced through a pool of **** onto the floor.

Even as i was falling in slow motion i felt ashamed. And when i got up there was a guy in front of not moving and an old man laying on the toilet floor and everyone looking at me like the piece of **** i was.

After that day i never raised my voice let alone my fists to another living soul.


White knight or not if you justify your violence to yourself you will always find a way to hurt people.

(never told that story before and not many people know about my past)

I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

You are a legend!!!!!!! I mean it very sincerely dude and I understand what you said completely. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to say it as well.
I have been through similar but I became a pacifist early, after a particularly viscous fight with 3 dudes on my front lawn that ended with me having blood up to my elbows and knees. Looking at the destruction leaves any man humble and disgusted that it can go that far and I vowed the same thing as you. At least up until I made a worse mistake and did not defend my daughter when I had the chance...I can never go back and re do anything but I will also not makes the same mistakes. To me the biggest mistake is not defending those I love or am responsible for, #$%@ anyone else if they raise their fists and come at me or mine.

Sorry for this edit, will only add I gave up second guessing people and their motives and these days instead I focus on my own. I gave up drinking alcohol in any from 14 years ago, drugs are a no go and I even stopped going to places in my free time that had a fair chance of badness erupting but for the life of me I will not be responsible for another persons actions. As an e.g where I grew up and went to school, you literally had to fight if you wanted to get to school with the least amount of damage to yourself. The place was so bad that there were undercover police and when ever there were fights no teacher/adult interfered even though they were standing right there. On one particular occasion I even turned my back and walked away which earned me browny points from the teachers but also a lump on the back of my head and still i had to fight my way out. Surviving needs no excuses.
