Like I said, don't make the mistake of thinking that because of one situation where I took the high road, that I am afraid to stick up for myself, or you, or anyone else if need be.
If I read your post wrong, then so be it, but you should REALLY think before you go posting things like this.

No I'm not calling you specificly a coward. I can understand and respect your reasoning behind it all. My issue is about these
type of threads ( which I stated earlier) and the fact almost all of them are about the op being afraid to say or do anything while they get taken advantage of. Over and over. They are just simply afraid, not trying to be the bigger man, or let it slide cuz they know they can handle their own, or thought it through. They are just simply afraid.
Being in the navy pretty much proves you can handle your own and take care of yourself. And being a Christian explains why you choose the other route.
I can totally understand that and respect that, which is why I said I wouldn't post anymore.
But I'm neither of those, and I'd be damned if I let my neighbor key my car, multiple times or sit and watch while some guys dog pisses over my car. And not say or do anything. And be encouraged to not do or say anything by people on this forum. It's just not in me.
Now I'm not trying to come across as some bad ass, I'm not a bully and I don't carry a piece with me everywhere I go. But I do own one, and I know how to use it, but I don't run to it like its the solution to all my problems. The way many would say. I grew up fighting so it's not a foreign concept to me to get your hands dirty. I'm a nice guy and I treat people the way I want to be treated. With respect. Cuz I personally know how easily shit can get way outta hand.
But I'd be damned if I let my neighbor key my car, multiple times or watch some guy let his dog piss on my car and not say or do anything about it.
And be encouraged by people here to not say or do anything. Like that's the best way to handle any negative situation you find yourself in. Who wants to live like that? I'm not saying to just go Rambo and come out guns blazing over anything, but don't just sit there either.
Too many of these threads are just people who are simply afraid. And to be honest, nothing wrong with that. If your afraid, that's fine. But don't walk through life being afraid. Do something so you don't have to be afraid. Learn how to fight, take some classes. Get a gun and learn how to shoot it. Do anything. Just don't sit back and get stepped on.
