Where did you guys grow up?
I'm from New Hampshire and very few people in my day actually beat anyone up. The only person who ever punched me was a girl and she never called me "fag." Actually... a guy punched me on the school bus but he hit me in the arm and the second he hit me - my leg went like into charlie-horse and I had to limp home. That's what really got to me. I seriously doubt that he hit me in the leg. Why would he sit on the bus next to me and punch me in the leg? He couldn't reach it. It had to be the arm. But we knew each other and I hated him but he didn't care about me. He only hit me because I tripped him and he fell almost face-first on that path between the seats. I did that because he was pissing me off. Come to think of it, the girl also hit me on the bus. Punched me in the nose and it felt like being electrocuted. My face was glowing. She hit like a girl, so it was no big deal...
Point being of course, that people talked shit all the time but nobody ever really fought. Until I was way into high school, that's when girls fought like crazy. I got so tired of that crap.

No - we all know about that. Ever see Tales from the Hood? It's out of print now (though I've got the DVD). It's written and directed by a black man. There's a scene where this black guy who shoots a bunch of his friends on the streets being transported from jail to this big scientific warehouse and in the sort of wagon he's in, he's in this cage next to a white guy with swastikas and tattoos that say "Nigger Killer" and they have a conversation that is very potent and very powerful. Deserves to be seen, but fucking HBO sucks and won't re-release the movie. Which needs to happen anyway, since the old DVD transfer BLOWS!!

When you do find a copy?
There's a version of the movie - I think it's the laserdisc - somewhere in the world with an audio commentary on it by the director and I could KILL HBO for not putting that on the DVD.

I am originally from California, a state where there are a lot of unfriendly people and the schools could care less about their students. But I was mostly called a fag as a plain insult rather than it having anything to do with orientation. This one time, when I was in junior high, I was walking home, and suddenly this car full of teenage high schoolers speeds by and call me "faggot!"
But let me tell you this, guys. If either of you thought you saw a lot of fights where you grew up at, then you should have seen my high school in Hawaii. There were just so many fights happening in the land of aloha. Steve, I bet most of the Black kids at your school would piss their pants if they had to take on any of the big Hawaiians at my high school.

I'm from Bensalem Pa. and most in the public school systems there go by grade intellegence system exmpale 6-1 the highest to 6-11 the lowest the lower the section the harder it gets I was 6-7 where most of the bullies were and they made my life a living hell because of my Aspergers Syndrome and I was pretty good in math, reading and science too! But I was never good in sports and the bullies were good at sports so I usally hanged around my only friend a girl named Karen and we fell in love it lasted for 6-Years we went to our Senior Prom together we were happy no matter what ridicule what humiliation I got I never fought back I would sunk to their level so when I graduated High School Karen left me to go to a church in Arizona but I'm spreading of tolerance to Bensalem High School so other people know not to hate but to respect all people of Intellegence, Orientation, Creed, and Color.

Sorry for necroing this thread, but I just would really like to see what HD would vote on (probably heterosexual).

I'm heterosexual but not closed off to the idea of bisexuality. I do like women so I know I'm not gay.

Our other 2 would-be regulars seem to have disappeared. So... Besides, this topic is only maybe a year old. HD's been around here that long.

I know, which is why I thought I would bump this thread to have him notice it. Plus, given the boards current state, it does no harm to bring back a thread as long as if it is for the right reasons. As for the "two would-be regulars" who voted on here, it is actually just one. Briggs no longer posts on here, but everyone else who has voted still does. I wish he would come back, along with various others (though the trolls and spam-bots should remain off of here).

I can't for the life of me figure out where the hell Briggs went. He fell off the face of the damn Earth. Didn't NP have some sort of contact with him on another forum?

If you must know, I am still friends with him on Facebook (his real name is Mitchell). So maybe I will get around to sending him a message sometime and try to get him to come back on here and post.

You just now tell me you're friends with him? Damn you, Jib, you scrotum! Send him a message asap.
