You get your boys and I'll get my boys, and they will get their boys, boys... yeah, save it Mr. masculine man, I don't want to fight you, or 20 of your distant friends. I just want to do my own thing. Why are some people so randomly hostile to strangers? More importantly, why do they let random people, that they don't know, ruin their day. And for what? to get their daily dose of Asshole Concentrate?
Some people do it to "impress" their friends because it makes them look super awesome, others just have undeveloped brains. Either way, it's no excuses to make a jackass out of yourself in public. For example, today at Maloof everyone was doing their own thing, just trying to have fun. The skaters were being skaters, the bmxers being bmxers. Everyone was getting snaked (cut in front of), and everyone was getting frustrated. This one kid mentioned how the bmxers were destroying the marble hubbas (side of stairs), which was true. One bmxer over herd and decided to go ape shit on him, yelling and screaming and trying to fight the kid. The kid obviously didn't want to fight him, which made the bmxer look like an ass, so the bmxer went to all his friends saying how they were going to "get him later".
Watching from about 3 feet away I thought that there was a few things wrong with the picture. One, the comment was generalized, true, and a known fact (bikes DO destroy marble surfaces). Two, the smaller kid obviously did not want to fight a guy three times his size. Finally, why does everything always turn into "we'll get him later" when people opt. not to fight? Does one's dignity get so bruised that they feel a need for physical conflict, or is it like a guy thing? I actually stayed around a while and noticed that all the bmxers involved in the conflict left way before the skater did, which i found funny.
I feel that all problems in the world can be talked through; however that does require both sides of the party to be willing to cooperate, and (more importantly) listen. For some reason most guys just can't talk it out, ESPECIALLY about the stupidest stuff. Actually the only person worse at talking it out then guys, is girls. Girls will rip each other to emotional shreds before even thinking about talking to each other, with rumors, trash talk, general being mean to each other. They are the worst. Maybe the world just isn't ready for verbal agreements.
