something likenothing better than seeing a bully getting a sound thrashing by a quiet reserved person who minds their own business
No, nothing like that...
The karate instructor isnt minding his own business is he? Imo he went looking for a fight.
Seany, what are you saying?
You would stand by like some wussy ass girl and watch a woman take a beating, is that what you are saying?
And this is based upon exactly which particular gallant virtue?
The fact it's not your business????
If you stand by this, I don't like people like you ... you are weak and have no backbone and no balls.....even if I was 7 stone nothing I could NOT watch a lady get hurt ...no fackin way !!!!!!!!!!
WUSS !!!!!
I never said he was wrong to do what he did...
I meant the example given wasnt a good one, because in my eyes the instructor did go looking for a fight, even though he was in the right....
I think the US Navy SEALS have a motto which goes something along the lines of "A man is only defeated if he gives up or he dies".
In other words, being truly 'hard', to a great extent, is about mental resilience - the human body can be pushed much further than many people have the mental toughness, the "inner metal" to take it. They will be defeated long before their physical ability is. When you are defeated mentally, the physical defeat will be soon to follow.
If you were to look at any of the world's best special forces units, I'm sure they won't be packed with the biggest, hardest looking guys - but they will be the kind of people who will keep getting back up in a fight, until they win or they die.
