Fighting: It’s All B.S.

BY BART SMITH, AUTHOR OF B.S. THE BOOK

Fighting at all levels is B.S. Fighting equals a BIG waste of time. Now, I’m not talking about the "competition" style of fighting, no. "Competition" style of fighting, such as karate, boxing, etc., requires a lot of strategy and planning. I’m talking about the "I can’t communicate my feelings our thoughts through words so I have to use violence and physical aggression to speak for me, duh!"

Here’s Why All Fighting Is Out & B.S.

First and foremost – the PAIN, the BLEEDING, the BRUISES, black eyes, broken noses, arms, hands, and other bodily disfiguring that comes with physical abuse to the body. Ouch, forget it, you don’t want this stuff.

• The PENALTIES of fighting bring you (in today’s society): JAIL, FINES$, LAWSUITS, and much more… (These equal big time/money wasters for you …Who has time for this?)
• Waste of time, because while you’re fighting you could be handling the matter civilly while moving on to more important things, like making money or visiting with real friends and/or family.
• Fighting does NOT equal a GOOD time, only BAD. Who wants BAD? I want GOOD.

Here’s How To Get Around Almost Every Fight

Situation "A" / Somebody Wants To Fight You!

• Remain totally calm.
• Look them straight in the eyes.
• Stand tall, yet relaxed, and confident.
• Ask them, in a very calm voice, "is this what you really want to do?"
• Remind them of the points made under "Situation B" below.
• If they inevitably strike – let ’em! You will use every ounce of their swing against them in a court of law. Let them know that too.
• If you know self-defense, use it, use it good, but don’t be OFFENSIVE, only DEFENSIVE.
• If you do not know self-defense, then take a class. They’re offered at colleges, weekend courses, private studies, etc. They’re worth it and they help keep you in shape at the same time! Take lessons with a friend, make it FUN!

Situation "B" / You Want To Fight Somebody!

Remember, the minute YOU lay your hands on another person:

• You could be SUED for damages.
• You face possible JAIL time.
• You face possible FINES.
• You face creating a possible RECORD of ASSAULT on somebody.
• And, you have to live with this event for the rest of your life … friends, family and all will remember what you did!
