I'm not going to kill anyone. And no, I'm not from Texas. But I am a southern gal. Yall can't make me believe that if you had a chance to open a can of whoop--- on the OW or OM, you wouldn't do the same thing!


psssst, hurt, she is from C.A.L.I.F.O.R.N.I.A. nuf said? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> She would probably call her shrink if the thought even crossed her mind..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Uhhhhhhh.....excuse me... There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with any circumstance. It's my humble opinion that physical violence is never the right way unless you are protecting yourself from violence. Does you going to jail provide a positive influence for your family? Does the additional court costs and fines provide posititely for your family?

Sure there are people in my life that I'd like to kick their @$$ so hard they'd have to clear their throat to fart or knock their teeth so far down their throat that they'd have to drop their britches to chew their food BUT that will not lend positively to my life or my relaitonships and it dang sure will not set a positive example for my children to follow.

As I said their are right ways and wrongs ways to go about things Oh and then as proved by the joking on this thread there is the Southern Way, the only problem with all that is that when you choose the wrong way, in all seriousness you are giving that other person power over you, your life, and your family.

Bill is exactly right, but I should point out that violence is not the southern way. That is a stereotype that makes for some interesting jokes; it is fun to poke fun at ourselves about it. But all joking aside, whooping someone, no matter how deserved, is never an appropriate action. It is criminal behavior in every state of this union, even in the south, and there is no excuse for it.
