i'm not trying to argue with you and normally i'd take a similar stance but when it comes to a helpless victim being beaten i can't take that stand. where i grew up i saw a lot of violence and i saw a lot of excuses made on behalf of it. in what could have been an insight to resolving it, the excuses instead became a crutch to lean on because of weak mindedness. so i'm very skeptical on excuses for bad behavior and if you spent time in some of my old neighborhoods you'd probably see where i'm coming from
so, we're not so dissimilar, its just on this particular subject of violence i'm rather hard headed
i should also point out my gf has been out of town for the past three days so i'm frustrated and could be guilty of picking a fight lol. if thats the case please accept my apology
