Is getting in a fight always completely negative?
    #5872027 -

Let me first say that I hate fighting, it is really one of the shittiest things to see at a party or something.

However, about two years ago (first year of college) some guy blew smoke in my face and pushed me on the ground, he proceeded to rant and rave afterwards and proceeded to take a swing at me. I punched him in the nose. He left me alone, and went to the hospital.

I could not help but feel immensely guilty afterwards, but why? I felt that I was unneccesarily provoked into that situation. Was it a bad descision? :sad:

Well.. if you feel guilty about it there was probably another way to go about handling it without breaking the guys nose. I wasn't there but there a plenty of opportunities to avoid getting into fights at party's. Plenty.

That sounds like it was necessary but i am against fighting and violence.

What i really hate, is when people enjoy watching a fight. There is a girl i knew who would actually get excited if a fight was breaking out. Terrible.

another way to go about handling it, when the dudes mid swing? maybe getting his own nose broken but that doesnt sound right to me. in that situation i would have done the same, and felt no guilt. once a hand is raised towards me its all about protecting myself. but thats not saying the situation was 100% unpreventable.... im sure there were steps that could have been taken to avoid the altercation all together.

probably the same thing that goes on in the head of someone who enjoys watching boxing or ultimite fighting or the likes.

perhaps, but i feel like those are less personal. The people in those types of things are up for a fight and are doing it for entertainment.

I just dont think its right when it's a personal problem between two people which is quite depressing, and people get enjoyment from their struggles and pain. No guilt involved. I'm not saying i'm for boxing mathes and that sort of thing though.

I agree, a fight at a party is usually between people that know each other (although I didnt know that guy). When they know each other that usually means everybody knows them too, which is shameful to see friends egg something on like that.

well you could have turned the other cheek. thanked him for punching you, got up and ask him politely if he wants to again.

after his rage settled down it would have made him think a lot harder, instead of "man that asshole broke my nose!" which would also make him think, but only in more violent lines.

that is a lot to ask though.....

If he's in the habit of blowing smoke in peoples faces and pushing them over i'd say he's trying to show off abit.
That smack in the nose might of brought him down a peg or two.
Next time he might think twice about acting that way again with someone else so i think you did the right thing.

He started it afterall.

I don't like fighting though. It ruins perfectly good nights out, all for the sake of someones adrenalin buzz.

i don't think so, because it's not smoke blowing, he threw a punch at a guy on the ground.

if he was just showing off, a beating might scare him "straight" but if he's that agressive radical pacifism with a smile might really mess with his head, as maybe he's the kind of guy that LIKES to get into fights?

Every situation is different but it sounds like the guy got what was coming to him. Usually people have a new found respect for each other after a good fight, so its not always negative, and it's not violence if it's two willing participants ie. UFC/boxing/etc.

An explosion of rage is a matter of stimulus and response. Id say in your position that guy deserved what he got. He probably didnt start anymore shit cause he knew that he antagonized you and he got knocked out for it.

Yes, dislocating his shoulder is more painful and you get 0 blood stains. Profit!
