the weird thing is up until six months ago I never knew anybody that had died or been killed now I know 4. Three students studying the same course as me where killed in a car accident the first day of mid year break last year really talented nice people they had gone to some remote Aboriginal community to do a workshop in webdesign or something and crashed on a bush road driving home late at night.

i know where you're coming from, vespa.
i think part of the reason that it seems we (eg: women) are oblivious to the testosterone fumes is that any sort of sexism always has overtones of violence, so we're kind of used to getting that same adrenaline nausea that you lot (eg: men) associate with violence from much less overtly violent situations (eg: catcalls). which, to be fair, represent a realtime physical threat for us. and our intolerance of that - our generation having been raised by the original card-carrying, bra-burning feminists - is an index of our maturity as a society. so we ought to culivate it.
the same, naturally, goes for chavs bottling people in the street (provoked by loudmouthed gfs or otherwise)

Tell ya what, i think it's getting worse. i spend a lot of time sober in nightclubs cos of My G/Fs work, and tell ya what, it's getting mad crazy all over. boxing day, at a club in london, right b4 we went in this bloke got bottled in the neck, made a right 'kin mess, claret every were, rozzers shut it down (as they should), attempted murder. Month b that, same venue, 4 people bottled in one night. hell, it's not even a rough one. Yeh, low profile all round, word to whoever just said that.
Love peace and hair grease people!

true that paraselene. i think i seriously need to learn some control tho, certain things just set me off and i get this FURY in the pit of my stomach that makes my nostrils flair and my mouth say the most confrontational things at the most inappropriate times...

heh.
funny you should say that. see martial arts thread for my philosophy on yoga.
in all seriousness, though, the whole violence epidemic is not to be underestimated and it is fairly harrowing when it effects the people you know and love.

I used to be a right little shit as a kid, got in all sorts of nonsense.
I really did think I was invincible because I never got caught and never got a hiding.
Things do tend to change when you get battered and put in hospital for the first time. It was bit of an ego check in all honesty and I haven't been the same since, in a good and a bad way.

there is no justice in this worl...good people die and scum survive.
I suppose chi must be balanced in some way.
Regardless, things like this are always hard to believe....
