Edit "The MPs got called in, and there was a stand-off with assault rifles and katanas in the middle of the ward, and it turned into a huge clusterfuck because my dad’s dad was a retired government official who used to be a very high rank, and a lot of his friends were the sons of generals and politicians as well," I mean C'mon | ||

We aren't ever going to prove it either way, and weirder things have happened. For the moment, let's just treat it for what it is: a funny story told by some guy we don't know on the internet. | ||

To Obstikal: yeah, sounds similar to my timeline. 12 yrs old started smoking pot. Started drinking two years after that. By fifteen, had tried quite a few things but no habits. Just experimented. To Shouri: Haha, ah I'm no good anymore. I'm older now, and my bones are weak. Broke my right hand and elbow on two separate occasions. Hasn't been the same since. And tore my rotator cuff in college so a lot of the oomph is gone. I'm mostly just a mellow dude nowadays, do my thing and watch a lil Dota 2 and SC  And yeah, some of these comments are hilarious. I feel like I'm getting scolded by my grandma hahaha. To Pulse: yeah man, that's the thing. Most people are fucking terrible at using weapons or even fighting in general. There's a vast difference between someone trained and someone who's just waving a wepaon around. Guns are the only weapon that really work effectively without much skill needed. People who can't fight are massively terrified of a knife, but it's really not that big of a deal. Majority of the time, it's just a tool for intimidation. To sam: XD, I went to John Hopkin's CTY and CAA after that lol. Each time I went, I felt like a wolf set loose amongst the chickens. The other kids just came from a very different world. It's why I find the whole concept of segregation based on academic achievement and group education in general to be totally useless. Learning is an individual activity. To evo: Lol, that's a pretty good summary. To Butter: ...I don't expect a guy who's never been in a fight to understand anything about the mindset or culture involved. But why on Earth would you, as a guy who's never been in a fight, try to determine the legitimacy of a story entirely about fighting? You do realize how ridiculous of an idea that is, right? It's like you're so out of your element and unable to comprehend what's being described that you try to filter it through your attempt at a logical framework and if you find any inconsistencies you assume that must mean it's false. When in reality, what's happening is you're just flat out ignorant of how certain parts of the world work so you just assume it couldn't happen. But as you can see other people saying, they have had similar experiences and understand what I'm talking about. Sigh. You try to show ppl the truth and they fight it tooth and nail. That's what's really sad to me. | ||

Seriously, I'm glad we've never met because I can tell you use violence and the fact that you think you're so badass as rationale to threaten other people because you feel that you're better. Luckily I've never been in a real fight before. Also, calling bullshit on like half of what you're saying. You're writing style changes back and forth and anyone with any sense can tell some of this is either rehashed from vivid memories or blatantly filler. lol at all the people who've never thrown hands and feel like they can judge. "Feels like I'm reading Catcher in the Rye" ... do you know how ridiculous you sound?? | ||

nicely written. unimaginable for my hometown, though. Was at a school with 1400 pupils up to the age of 20, there were some rumors about drug usage for like 2 guys, I would not even have known where to buy weed. | ||

Growing up I was rarely exposed to kids not in my direct age cohort - I don't think this was a good thing. I had a very sheltered childhood in many ways. | ||

As far as I can tell, the tl;dr of your story is: "Me and massive group of my friends beat the shit out of a few dudes over nothing. I didn't even have to actually fight any of them; we had so many people that I could walk just around uncontested and hit people, who were already engaged in fights and therefore completely oblivious to me, with a baseball bat." This is a story you should not be proud of. | ||

Also, you accidentally called Talib "Tariq". You've damned him. YOU'VE DAMNED HIM. | ||

Which is why I think it rubs people the wrong way how you are kind of presenting the story in a glorified light. The story is sad. | ||

This is a story you should not be proud of. Lol! It did seem like a lot of it was creative writing. You don't write like a gangster, it's written like a short story with all the elaborate background story on the characters, etc. I enjoyed it, thank you for sharing. | ||

-edit- Skip to the fight part of the story. You didn't get hit throughout that whole scuffle? Honestly you seem like a bitch in the story. "I stayed back and threw cheap shots when I can." | ||

Which is why I think it rubs people the wrong way how you are kind of presenting the story in a glorified light. The story is sad. First off, I say at the very beginning why I wrote the story. Had nothing to do with pride or badassness. I'm astounded how many people have said something about sadness/pride/you're a tool etc and have completely missed the point. I wanted to give people an eyeball into what a real knife fight looks like and the mindset of one of the people involved. The original impetus for even writing this story was by the request of other TL members and by a blog that struck me as decidedly fake. I didn't promise an epic brawl with insurmountable odds somehow surmounted. Because guess what? Real life rarely works like fiction, and most people won't go charging into a dozen knives without numbers on their side. Nor did I promise some moralistic revelation or story of justice being served. It's like kids go through everything expecting a hero and a happy ending. I don't know what gave you the retarded idea that me and my friends were supposed to be King Arthur and the knights of the fucking cafeteria table. Or that it's somehow sad that we weren't. I didn't live my life so I could come to TL a decade later and get kids who've never fought anything bigger than a chihuahua to give me their stamp of approval. I just lived it the way I knew how. And I'd be interested to see how many of you internet heroes would wade into a fight where people are swinging knives, 45-15, bat or no bat. Ofc, this is the internet so I'm sure you're all samurai and have won more one on one duels than Musashi. And dude, just straight up learn to read. Beat them up over nothing? A few dudes? First guy punches a girl in the mouth, punches her in the mouth. Do I need to repeat that again? He does so on the front lawn of a house full of her cousins. Said dude gets smacked upside the head for it, so he leaves. He then comes back with five fucking cars full of people, all looking for a fight, one of whom then proceeds to kick the shit out of my friend's car. My friend goes to stop him destroying his fucking ride and the rest of us back him up. But I guess all of that is "nothing" in your world. Nor was it 45-15. It was more like 20-15. Half the cambo guys barely topped 120 lbs. These aren't trained fighters here, they're baked, half-drunk lil Asian dudes. I don't know if you've ever been in a fight, but a 120 lb guy don't hit very hard. And if it was an actual 3-1 ratio, I highly doubt that guy and his friends would have stuck around to kick the shit out of Hakim's car now would they? But I guess in your world, facts don't matter. Just emotions. Like sadness. To the Talib/Tariq thing, LOL. His real name is Tariq. Guess I forgot midway thru and just started saying it hahahah. | ||

My friends who introduced me started even earlier. It seems pretty normal to me most people I know or in fact everyone I've met that drugs are so common now that its easily access by middle school. I guess thats just the US. Edit: and for clarification I live in the suburbs i think the main difference is that weed isnt considered a drug in europe;) weed/hash at 10 is getting fairly usual in france,as for any other drug yeah 16/17/18 edit:as for the story.....yeah........nah | ||

I understand you stated what your intent to the story was, but the length of the story means that how it actually reads may differ from the light in which you tried to frame it... That is all. Don't be so quick to judge others on the site based on what you assume "our world" is and in what respects it might differ from yours. We don't want to derail this into a pissing contest. | ||
