Am I fucked up?

People, how do we know what the other guy said about him? Maybe Mark Deez is not as big of a bully as he sounds. Maybe the other guy totally tried to ruin his reputation and everything, and Mark Deez fought back. In that case, Mark Deez would be on the defensive instead of the other way around.
Honestly, I'd make fun of a fellow student in the way he (Mark) did if I really hated a certain student. I remember one kid from High School that I would have destroyed if I was as lucky as Mark Deez. If I was Mark Deez's size and had his boxing skills, there would have been many kids crying in High School. Give him a break for not being like me...the kid who used intelligence more than violence to resolve matters. I remember how I'd always intellectually diss someone...where did it get me? Those kids went their way, and I went my way. Oh, great! I regret not having learned boxing and stuff.
At times, there would have been kids that constantly pushed me mentally (never physically) because of how nice I am and because I am never confrontational. Seriously, where did this get me? Don't get me wrong, I never backed out from a fight, and never let someone hurt me. It wasn't about anything physical. It was about kids constantly messing me because I wouldn't curse back at them or put up a battle.
I can't blame Mark Deez for what he did. He, unlike me, was lucky enough to have had those skills.

Yeah, Limn you appear to have misread what Pennypacker said.
Anyways, Pennypacker, I know you say you didn't back down from fights more that you avoided confrontation, but why wouldn't you 'put up a battle'? (I know you said you're 'nice', I consider myself a nice guy as well but still....)
Btw, I'm not taking a dig or trying to look hard - just curious.

To put up a battle, you need to curse and use profanity, right? I try my best not to use profanity in any way. That's why. Its just something I've grown used to (not using profanity) and don't want to start it. How else am I going to put up a battle (besides using curse words)? I mean, I could fight them intellectually, and that's what I did, but that's it. I didn't say "FU" or anything like that...you know, the simple words.
I did misread what you said, my bad - I see what you were saying now, re-reading it again. And you don't need to curse to put up a battle. Jesus put up a battle without resorting to profanity, as did Malcom X, Martin Luther, the Buddha, and all the other great thinkers and activists of our time. Cursing has nothing to do with a battle, just shows that the person using the profanity cannot express himself with the right words.
You just need to slag them off, although granted the use of curses can usually dramatically increase your chances of doing so.
To win the 'battle' you need to win the crowd (fuck Russell Crowe) - if you win the crowd, you've beaten the dude without having to slug him.
That's some disadvantage you've got there though. Not saying I'm a regular fucking comedian or nothing but I am able to slip a well-timed curse in here or there to emphasize what I'm saying & make people laugh - nobody, not no bully, not no jock, no-one can stand up against getting laughed at. It just fucks people up.
I can't begin to udnerstand what it must be like not cursing though - every couple of breaths I curse.
Still, that's what everybody does in my area (baa, baa I hear you say).
Anyways, you say you would've liked to have learned boxing - did you have any training in fighting? (be it a recognized art like judo, or just countless fights - practice makes perfect)

Not meaning to shoot you down Limn but Pennypacker ain't Jesus, X, MLK or Buddha - those men were exceptions to the norm.
Also, Jesus was killed. Malcolm X was killed. MLK was killed. And the death of Buddha is clouded.<<<<<<< If Pennypacker - or anyone else for that matter - wants to live, maybe these ain't the best examples, eh?
Also, I think Malcolm X swore....at least when he was Malcolm Litte aka Detroit Red.

And I did...which is what I said: intellectually. But what kids are really offended by intellectual disses. Think about it.
What am I...Chris Rock? I am not good with disses or comedy...so, there's really no verbal attacks I could use.
But then again, you'd have to be somewhat popular. I wasn't anything like that. I'd be the quiet kid in my senior year.
Its all good. I see where you're coming from.
I remember when I was like 10, I did some Karate, but that was a long time ago, and I never used that stuff. But to answer your question, I didn't train in fighting.

Sadly this is almost exclusively true. In my experience, if you can't win by making a fool out of the dude verbally, the only other option is physically & you ain't like that.
Although I didn't say it was impossible to ridicule & win the crowd if you're not popular, but again, cursing could help. Dammit!
Question: What age were you in your Senior year?
Yeah, karate ain't much use unless you are reasonably advance. Any siblings?
I ask because my brothers (both older) used to fight with me all the time which, to my surprise, actually benefitted me the older I got. Experience is the biggest plus you can have for there is nothing like getting smacked full force in the face. You can tell instantly if someone's somewhat of a virgin fighter by how they take a solid hit - & when your reaction is weak, those who are 'scrappers' sense that shit like sharks do blood & are quick to let you know that they are aware of your fragile state <<<<<thought I'd spice my post up with a little bit of dramatization - essentially true nonetheless.

Life's a bitch ain't she?
Nah, Deez went out of his way to humiliate the kid & made up what sounds like bullshit. Not to mention he's a 'porker' LOL.
If someone tries to pick a fight with you & you react - they'll think twice next time.
Even 'scrappers' - by this I just mean those who have been in countless fights over the years & are not noticeably shaken by the prospect of another one - don't enjoy fighting & although they become a little more used to it than most, they still don't enjoy getting smashed in the head. There is also a self conscious thing here, although you will get ugly motherfuckers like Deez who probably don't care about their appearance, most 'scrappers' I know don't like walking into school with a black eye & swollen cheek.
So if someone wants to fight with you & you step up to the plate, as long as you keep getting back up, that dude will not relish the prospect of fighting you next time & thus, will either completely leave you alone or will seriously tone down the 'ragging', as you Americans say it.

Exactly, Malcolm Little aka Red swore - Malcom X didn't. Who cares if they were killed, that's beyond the point. The weren't killed for not swearing, they were killed for the battle they fought. Yes, they were exceptional people - so does that mean one shouldn't strive to be an exception to the norm? They should just conform to the evilness of the norm? Again - these men weren't killed for using "clean" language; which is the point I was getting at. You don't have to curse to win battles, be it physical or intellectual. I've never seen a fight where the words actually matter.
I'm not saying we should be content with fitting the norm. I'm just saying, guys like these are very rare. Not all of us have a virgin mother & so the same rules don't necessarily apply to us ie. we've got to work with what we've got.
The thing about them being killed - I was saying, I don't think people should fight their battles like these people because, non-violence (in three of the cases & one towards the end of his life) didn't manage to keep these men alive.
If it is physical - you don't have to curse, you have to be savage.
If it is intellectually - if you mean verbal, then cursing can play a role in winning. You must remember as oppressive & stubborn as these great men's foes were, they weren't dumb. The level of intelligence Pennypacker & everyone else has to deal with in normal people is much lower. And if you weren't talking verbal - that is, articulating your thoughts - what were you talking about, telekinesis?
You'v never seen a battle where words matter? What do you think MLK died for? Speaking his mind & inspiring people with his words.
Tell me what Jesus, X & Buddha died for & then tell me words don't matter.
If these men had kept quiet.....
