So I stopped reading at the part with your mom driving you fuck ups around in her Range rover and what I got from the rest was rich kids bankrolling stupid shit.

You got a problem with rich kids?

Interesting read real or not. It was pretty interesting with good background story/introductions to each of your friends and stuff before actually starting the story, you should write a novel haha.

That was absolutely gripping. I would say write more, but if everything you say is true, I'd like to think that's enough crazy shit for one lifetime.

Well..alot of the stuff you write would make national news in most european countries. Truth or not, im not going to judge because only you know what is true, it i still remarkably well written and you definatly have talent.

The amount of money you have has nothing to do with one's ability to fight. But yeah, sometimes, mothers give their children and their children's friends rides. I'm not sure why you found that to be so offensive.

Also, actually, if you're rich, you can easily afford boxing lessons, gym membership, jiu jitsu classes, weapons, etc., all while having more time to actually practice fighting rather than having to hustle for money all day. Food for thought.

^ Yeah, that's exactly it. In ancient times, AKA when people actually fought each other based on physical prowess, the rich were invariably the better fighters. They had the best training/conditioning, the best equipment, the best morale/leadership, etc. The poor and downtrodden (or ghetto nowadays) were the rabble sent out in front to catch arrows with their faces.

Nowadays, the only difference is in the stakes involved. Rich people are more risk averse because they have more to lose, so they tend to shy away from fighting. Poor people have nothing to lose and guns are cheap and easy to get so on a person-to-person level things have swung in their favor. There is nothing that makes them inherently tougher or bad ass than rich people, they're just more willing to engage in non-beneficial activities.

I guess on a macro scale though, rich people still fight better. It's rich nations now who use combat drones and cruise missiles. Money always talks. In the end though, I simply don't understand his logic. What facet of modern society does not involve rich people bankrolling shit?

Having read through the comments just now in one sitting, the OP starts off sounding like he just wanted to share an interesting story and didn't give 2 shits about what anyone's opinions were on whether it was true or not. Overtime he got more and more defensive and now it seems like everyone who questions him must be burned?

haha glad you enjoyed. And yeah, looking back, it was a bunch of idiot kids being goof offs. Of course violence is bad and has real consequences, etc, but at the time it was just about being a bad ass and repping your crew lol. Guy stuff. The nunchuks guy was this really fat bald dude, I don't think he even knew how to use them lolol. He was swinging em around being a total tard.

I think most important thing though is my childhood taught me to stand up for myself and assert my dominance. That sort of attitude, when developed at a young age, really leads to great things later on in life. Whereas, I've seen a lot of quiet, submissive types who never come out of their shell go through their entire lives getting stepped on and wondering why they never got the promotion or the invites to fun parties or the hot girls.

Throughout the whole story he was consistent in saying that he stands up for himself, albeit in somewhat of an excessive manner. If someone gives him shit, he gives back double. So it's really no surprise that if someone calls him out saying that he's spouting bullshit that he's going to defend himself.

Great read. Very well written.

I went back looking for this because I just realized how awesomely unique this story was. Even more fun reading it the third time than it was the first.

Thanks for the love, guys.

To Band9: I'm not TWese. Not sure where you got that. I was born in America. And my family's originally from China. We're not aborigines. So...

What an awesome story, im glad i read that.

Is what i WOULD have said if you werent trying to pretend it was real.

Biggest load of bullshit i have ever read in my life, i could literally dissect everything wrong with it but instead i'll mention one very broad, very obvious fact.

Detail.

How in the fucking world do you remember things so vividly, so clearly, so "to the last blade of grass" that its like it happened 5 minutes ago, when it happened in the 90's? You dont, you cant. Its bullshit. People describe real events based on raw emotion and feelings, they describe lies.

Heres one from me: 5 years ago i was in scotland walking from somewhere (?) to a friends house, it was a few mins from new year (10-30 idk) and wasnt far off, we turned a corner and there were a bunch of dudes there, more then us noticably. We walked past them and soon after i got bottled in the head, i turned around and fought back. Thats all i remember before running away with my friends.

Apparently my friend heard them say "the one in the <colour> hoodie" as we walked past which was me, idk what colour my hoodie was even. The 2 girls who were with us apparently ran off to some random house banged on the door and got let in. - These are just things i were told.

Point being - you dont remember shit that happened so perfectly that it is described as a gospel of awesomeness. Its a well known fact.

But really, i would have loved it if you werent trying so hard to convince people it was true, that just makes it bullshit.

EDIT: Sorry if im rude, but i really hate the way you portray such obvious lying. Also, Ninazerg is alot like you.

You have a shit memory. It's not a well-known fact that you can't recall details that far; you just pulled something out of your ass and labeled it as known fact. I was three years old in the 1999 so I can't speak for the 90s but there are some days in the early 2000s that I remember perfectly down to the exact wording of the conversations I had. Not even particularly special ones - a 45 minute ESL seminar where I can recall every activity we did that day.
