The issue here is these teenagers in question at the movie theater
I guess where I’m getting hung up in the theater discussion is the part in which his size even came into question. I mean so what if he’s bigger than the kids? How is that relevant in if they should respect him or not? And asking “don’t you see how big I am?” is a really chump move to make. His size wasn’t relevant to the discussion and that alone won’t make anyone respect you. Now, if he simply turned to them and asked them if that was any way to speak to someone without the caveat of “look at my big arms” then I don’t think that Gregron would have said anything to him.

[/quote]

It came into question when a child approaches a stranger and refuses to take no for an answer. What Blake said and did has been blown out of proportion - he didn’t stand up, flex his guns and reel off his arm measurements to the kids.
[/quote]

but he felt the need to tell us. and remind the kids “how big he is”.

prosecution rests.

months ago I had a teenager tell me (unsolicited) that he would throw a hot one in my ass. I forgot to remind him how big I was.

LOL at your attempt to psycho analyze me over two Internet posts.

Do you even realize how you’re coming across? You tried to use your size to I tmidate highschool kids in a movie theater while you were on a date with your wife… LOL

You are quite the tough guy aren’t you?

Grow up.[/quote]

While I can see that point, the issue he was bringing up was the complete lack of respect even in the face of someone who could wipe them out. That is valid.

As a kid, I would never have told someone older than me who outweighed me by 50lbs or more that I asked them a damn question.

You only do shit like that when you really believe you won’t get hurt…either that or drunk.

Edit:
I am still laughing at people here expecting him to risk getting himself and his wife kicked out of a movie all to help some dumbass kids who would act that way to a complete stranger.

I mean, do some of you just not think ahead when you do shit or what?[/quote]

I really don’t understand. I expect to be treated with a certain level of respect, sorry. I have worked hard to be and have what I have. I have a job, pay my own way in this world, workout regularly and treat all people the same way I expect to be treated. When that doesn’t happen I tend to let people know they are crossing me, again I apologize.

The first reason I workout is to be big and strong enough to help others if they need it. Something I am sure Gregon can understand being a firefighter. A close second is to be big enough that I and my family are as low on the list of possible targets for someone looking for trouble as possible, again something he should understand being married. All of that doesn’t mean shit if you aren’t willing to act when situations arise. I felt the situation escalating, not because I was being rude or aggressive myself, but because this kid had an attitude and no respect for adults. I handled then situation. I agree it didn’t need to go there, but I disagree that I played a role in that.

Edit: this was actually typed before my last post and is only now showing up. There is another post waiting to come through. Please wait for it I think we can squash this bs with that one.

I don’t want to puncture this neat little cocoon you have created, but someone who is really “looking for trouble” doesn’t give a flying motherfuck how big you are. And that sir, is a fact.

Attempting to avoid them is sound strategy. Believing your size matters is right out of the back pages of the comic books (ya know, the ads with the muscular guy kicking sand in the small dude’s face).

I am not sure if it is a symptom of a postmodern world or simply a tactic to try and bait someone further into an argument. I use it as the later. What bothers me is the enormous subtext that people add, which is similar, but I think is simply a reading comprehension issue.

To think a 30yr old man who is on a date with his wife of 4yrs who is 7 months prego, his high school sweet heart of 12+, and he is still walking around trying to act tough is a subtext, and a completely fictional one. The only thing I am worried about is the happiness, safety, and prosperity of my family. I really though simply telling the kid, sorry I am not going to give you my ticket, would have ended the conversation. Trust me when I say I was completely shocked it didn’t. As for the guy who says you should have said I threw mine away to, that is 20/20 hindsight. I didn’t care that they snuck in to the movie, I didn’t care he asked for my ticket, I cared that he kept escalating the situation when I was a paying customer, an adult, much to big for him to intimidate, and I was out with my wife.
[/quote]

the fact that you felt the need to include the unnecessary details of the encounter in a child rearing thread speaks volumes of your mindset. your wife told you that you were off and now we have.

that’s not “baiting” it’s called calling a strike a strike.
[/quote]

Bro, my wife doesn’t get to tell me how to act anymore then I get to tell her. I listen to her input but ultimately she has to trust me. I will say this one last time the exchange did not go at all how I expected it to. I felt it was escalating to a point I was no longer comfortable with and wanted to stop it dead. I did and It worked. I shared the exchange not to glorify my ability to put high schoolers in their place but because I saw a similarity in the discussion and thought it illustrated how out of line teenagers, especially the boys can get. Parents can raise good kids and they all have the potential to get to big for their britches. I would never box or fight my own child, but I have seen friends get something outta an ass whopping and if a parent sees that is what it is likley going to take to make an impression then for the safety of their kid they may very well want to be the one to issue it. I had a friend who wanted to fight everyone in sight for a while. After he picked a fight with the wrong Odessa football player, he got knocked out and a broken orbital bone, he didn’t get into anymore fights after that.

So many people come on here simply to argue. I really don’t post that much so I get the unnecessary assumptions about why I did what I did, but don’t tell me you think there is a difference between saying that is something a douche would do and calling me a douche. The only difference I can see a bit of yellow.

You want to make my post into a commentary on my mind set, it is a commentary you are holding in your own head.

I admitted that I was doing it to provoke argument. I pretty much had you saying you would call a stranger who had never disrespected you in anyway a douche or tool to their face. You were trying similarly to bait me in to saying you wouldn’t do it because I am so big and strong, proving that I was a tough guy douche bag.

309

You know what’s funny? People now upholding stealing from movie theaters all because they are pissed because some guy they haven’t met made a reference to his size when speaking to teenagers.

LOL at crime now being more right than flexing in public.

Just thinking…but if my parents had known we snuck into that movie in the 6th grade without paying they would have beat our ass. We didn’t do it with the blessing of our parents. I find it strange that grown men, some who have kids, are now saying they think it not only is ok but that they would HELP other kids do it…but then they have shit to say about how someone else raises their kid.

LOL

You can only assume they are teaching the same values to their kids…which I guess explains why kids would feel entitled to it to start with.

I don’t think you have a passing acquaintance with logic. None. And you have proven it repetitively in multiple posts, with multiple topics. Your above post is but another shining example. We say “meh” to kids sneaking in the movie theater, and your reptilian brain assumes that we are “teaching these values to our kids”. You are the master of 2 + 2 = 5.

You and RV are damn near kindred spirits.

313

BlakeJackson, I really don’t see why you are justifying your action to a bunch of strangers over the internet.

You did what felt right at that time and if that worked for ya, good for you.

Kids these days want everything for free and, some think that resorting to blackmail, intimidation or insolence will get them what they feel they are ENTITLED to. I was a teenager not long ago, in my twenties now, but I knew I had to work hard to get things I wanted and not rely on begging, stealing or harassing people for stuff that didn’t belong to me.

I bet if you had seated there, playing nice or ignoring them, they would have continued to harass you, probably forcing you to change your seat, like I see many people do these days 'cos they want no trouble. Kids like that need some people to step up and tell them to cut it out. Some people are just too laxed toward this kind of kids, and that give them the impression they can get away with anything.

314

Dude, no one needs your insults, You aren’t even good at it. You are the one reprimanding someone else for not helping some teenagers steal (regardless of how minor that is), all because you think him mentioning his size is the bigger issue??

Crime and your answer is “meh”.

Someone says they’re huge and all guns come out.

You are the one not making sense here…and sorry, but the name calling and insults have gotten old. What I just wrote IS logic.

I wouldn’t raise my kids to think that was right. I wouldn’t help some kids do it in a theater.

If you would, your attempt to sound morally superior fails.

You seem upset that BlakedAJackson wasn’t humble enough and mentioned his size.

I would be more worried about you teaching kids that sneaking into movies is “meh”.

You may want to take that advice as well since you constantly are calling out others intelligence.

That’s just how I feel about it. An entitled child will grow into an entitled adult. Clearly physical size in this case was effective by making the kid think about the situation he was making for himself. That will serve him well in the future IMO and may well help him avoid being “disciplined” physically (that is, getting seven shades of shit kicked out of him for making demands of the wrong person) in the future - whether by a less-tolerant adult or one of his peers.

I’m kind of stunned at the level of controversy an arm measurement can cause considering where we are having this discussion.

You don’t get it.

I’m not insulting you. Your posts ARE illogical. This has already been pointed out to you by Gregron and Fighting Irish.

You are entitled to your point of view, but the way you express and defend it is illogical.

And here’s yet another example of your failure to argue with any intellectual might; I didn’t mention Blake’s size - HE did. LOL

And once again with the logic failure, thinking sneaking into the movies is “meh” and “raising your kids think that was right” is an illogical leap.

Let me be clear so there is no confusion. I think you’re a douchebag for telling a group of teenagers how big you are and then coming here and repeating it as if we’d fucking give you an attaboy. If I gave you the time of the day in person (doubtful), I wouldn’t hesitate to reiterate it. I’d mock you. Openly. Even your wife knows it was a tool-move.

As for who is an idiot, I’d challenge you to take one statement I’ve made ON TOPIC and rebut it. Since we both know you can’t…you can end on your above “point” - which is actually some unattributed “saying”.

Be original at least. Like you were in the theater.
