You\'ve been warned. :p

hahahah..awnery(sp?) old coot isnt he? lol
-
i dont know why people contest mankinds greatest achievment
-
I could see it being easily true that it was false, I do however think it was done at that time.
-
Sibrel, 37, said he reported the assault to police and was seeking an assault charge against the 72-year-old astronaut.
This is a little off topic, but why are people such babies these days? Why do we have to "press charges" at every little incident? What\'s wrong with taking a few knocks to the chin? I can understand if you\'re just minding your own business and someone comes along and beats the shit out of you, but if you\'re in an altercation with someone and you end up throwing a couple punches, why are you gonna go crying to the cops?
Dammit we are pansies. Can\'t even defend yourself these days without having an attorney.

Goes over and punches the closest person to me in the face. Oh well, who cares anyway.
-
yup, this sissy got decked by a 72 year old man and is crying like a little girl. i bet hes a frickin nerd... leave buzz alone you frickin nerds.
-
yeah, but the courts will award him 107542908375032754$ for his "pain and suffering"

Im sure you would want to press charges if I socked you.

No. I\'d hit you back. Several times. :p

If for no reason, you whacked me and injured me - yes.
If I put a cinder block through your car window, or picked a fight with you, then you have every right to give me a non-hospitalization pounding, in my opinion.
If one is willing to put him/herself into an aggressive situation, then that person should be open to the possibility of bodily harm. It is pititful that a lot of people are afraid to defend themselves because a mugger might decide to sue. I\'m not saying that domestic violence, or violence in general is right, I\'m just saying that we are a nation of pussies who need to quit crying about every bloody lip and skinned knee.
-
I agree and yet disagree. WHile the reporter may have been lacking in class and tact, it doesnt seem to be an agressive situation untill Aldrin made it one.
That is pretty much what I meant, i guess I should have been a little more clear(one of mi downfalls :( )
Say you and I were talking and you asked me something that I didnt like, I hauled off and socked you, would you sue?

That\'s different. Let\'s say I\'ve been hounding you for years that you\'re a liar and you\'re really a girl. I even made TV show tyring to prove that you are. The I come up to you one day in person and put a mic in your face and a camera behind me claiming that you\'re a tranvestite. Now, this is what\'s called an Interview Ambush. Would you punch me then?
Now, remember, I could do this whenever, where ever you are as long as your on public property. Aka harassment.
-
it ALL depends on the way you said it
-
gman: the difference is, this guy isnt the same one on tv..isnt the same one bothering buzz when in Cali..isnt bothering buzz when he is in FL..etc..etc..
He was just the straw to break the camels back.
*edit* furthermore..should I go around punching any white person that calls me nigger and any black person that calls me honky just b/c I have been hearing it for some time now? Also in public...
-
I guess it depends how bad you hurt me. It\'s highly situational, and all of the what ifs, and exceptions are probably why we have all these nonsense lawsuits today.
Quite honestly, if you bloodied my lip or bruised my jaw I would be quite pissed off, but why would I want to attempt to ruin your life and empty your savings account over a wound that will heal in a week? I can say for sure that I wouldn\'t be hold any further conversations with you! heh
Maybe Buzz shouldn\'t have hit the guy. But that guy needs to suck it up and be a man. Buzz didn\'t slap his wife or kick his dog, he gave him a pop in the chin. Probably hurt his pride more than anything.
-
doh..I was actually trying to make a different point since you are female and Im a male, but o well.
Yup, I also think it is all based on the situation.
-
Yeah I thought about the gender issue, and in general I don\'t think men should hit women....BUT...you go lookin\' for trouble, you find it - regardless of the hole or the pole.

The encounter with Aldrin was Sibrel\'s third...
He also produced a Fox TV show last year entitled "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?"
That\'s more than one incident.
-
opps..I stand corrected..
anywho..why does that make a big difference?
You also did not answer my question.
-
To answer your question : if that person who makes derogatory racist remarks about you has also harrassed you in the past, then yes, by all means hit him.
But if hearing an insulting remark not directed at you, then mind your own business. :)
-
I didnt ask if "hearing" a comment not directed at me..ah..besides the point.but anywho, I dont see why that gives me rights to physically attack them. You could do it for 2 years every wednesday to me..sure Id like to fock you up, but either way, it doesnt make it right.
For the record, Im sure I would, but it doesnt make it right.
-
No one\'s saying it\'s right. We\'re saying we sympathize with Buzz! SHEEESH BOY! You been sniffing too much NOS lately? :p
-
hahah..I only have used NITROUS for a short time(for the record)
I just like disagreeing with you b/c you make it fun unlike many others in here.
-
What? You funnin\' with me? You see these tweezers? I will wrestle you down and pull out your nose hair one by one! :p
Byatch! <--- when the hell did I start saying this???
-
landed on the moon, 72 years old, and can still kick a guy half his age a$$

Go Buzz. People who believe we didn\'t land on the moon have been puffin the magic dragon too much. If the rocket took off, there would have been no way to land the space ship. It only could go up. If they ejected, they would have hit the ship. Also, how do they explain the re entry? Bull shit is what it is. We landed on the moon.

I completely believe that we landed on the moon. However, I wouldn\'t go and use that argument against the non-believers. :laughing:

not to start an argument, but the answer to that is "orbit". They could have gone into orbit, and then re-enter. I don\'t really think we did it or not, I have no opinion, but that is not the greatest argument.

*cough* Clowd *hack* It isn\'t a great arguement but just to try and get something started. There is a link that counteracts all of the arguement the non believers have.

I dont want a piece..I want the WHOLE thing!

I saw this on the news,and he deserved it.I\'m suprised he didn\'t hit him before he did. I\'M WITH BUZZ!!!!!!!

Buzz Lightyear to the rescue.
