Everyone's negative opinion on Sean Connery is worthless. The man is James Bond. The coolest human being that ever lived. And I know a lot of women out there need to be smacked.

first you think James Bond is a real human being, then you say women need to be smacked, now come on who's really the fool here?

WTF? Do you know her?

I watched it with the sound down, hoping he was going to slap Barbara Walters

You've got to be kidding.

"Shtop ashking me which kind of chree I would be!!"

NDRU said:

Well, I can testify that some females definitely do encourage the violence. Not saying that Rihanna deserved it or anything, but some females provoke men to violence. I've seen it too many times to count. I seriously wonder about her not cooperating with authorities about this. I wonder if she threw the first punch Stories are out there about her possessiveness and jealous nature. And we all know that he comes from a violent household.

This isn't the first time their relationship has gotten physical. People are now coming out the woodwork with stories of their volatile relationship. They are too young to be embroiled in such nonsense


Smooches;)

MsMisha319 said:

I don't care what a woman encourages. A man is a punk ass bitch to hit a woman. Just like if it were another guy, he could have simply walked away.

Vendetta1 said:

Well, to each his own. I don't agree with the violence, but I don't consider females like that victims. You can't provoke and provoke and nag and nag until dude finally smacks the shit out of you, then sit and cry about it.

But that's not to say that this was the case with these two, We still don't have a clear understanding of what happened.


Smooches;)

MsMisha319 said:

I wish to God I hadn't read your post.

Well, you did


Smooches;)

MsMisha319 said:

Yep and I can't respond with what I think of it without getting snipped or banned.

There is no excuse (other than self defense) for violence ever. Period. That's it, end of story. No woman "asks for it". I don't care how much someone nags or talks at someone else, that is no excuse to haul off and smack someone.

CarrieMpls said:

You said it much nicer than I would have.

Vendetta1 said:

I definitely disagree with the "simply could've walked away" thing....I've been in several arguements that were steadily ramping up to potential fireworks and, since I have home training, have tried to walk away, only to have the young lady place herself squarely between me and the door....now, had I pushed my way past her, or pushed her out of the way I'd be wrong...so what then? Since I was taught at a young age to respect women and not hit them, my reward for rising above the fray was to be belittled and harangued because she knew that she wasn't going to get beat the fuck down....bottom line, while I can never agree with a man hitting a woman, I sure as hell don't buy the helpless victim shit either....

Vendetta1 said:

Like I said, to each his own. We don't know what happened. I think it's a bit much to call him a batterer. She may have started it. She may have hit him first. If that's the case, then will we call her a batterer as well? Does she deserve to be the victim if she provoked him or hit him first?

Eh, well. Doesn't matter. I'm predicting this thread will be horribly off topic pretty soon

Smooches;)

Agreed

Worst domestic-violence neighbor situation that I've ever overheard (and there have been way too many):

I awoke to hearing a scuffle in the apartment next to mine. The violent argument was between a man and a woman.

"Stop hitting me! I'm tired of you hitting me all the time! That's why I hit you back!!"

It was the man who was shouting that.

I shook my head, as I dialed 911...

I don't believe in violence period and I definitely will never believe in words being justification to put your hands on anyone. In a case where a smaller woman gets hit by a 6 foot 2 inch 200 lb man, not only does that make her a victim, it makes him a weak ass motherfucker.

ThreadBare said:

Overhearing domestic violence is the worst.

I used to have to call on my neighbors across the hall from me several years (and two apartments) ago. It was a gay male couple, one was horribly abusive, both verbally and physically. It seemed to me the police never showed up fast enough and the abusive one had always left by the time they got there. It would often take them over half an hour to get there.
I will always wonder if it's because they were gay that they took their damn sweet time to show up.

MsMisha319 said:

Common sense says the man will be the one hauled away.

You sound as if you are excusing bad behavior.

CarrieMpls said:

Yeah, and I had heard a bunch before at different stages of my life. The cops always take forever, like Tracy Chapman sang in that old tune of hers.

Behind The Wall


Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won`t do no good to call
The police
Always come late
If they come at all

And when they arrive
they say they can`t interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road

And the policeman said
`I`m here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep`

Vendetta1 said:

so in other words, its okay for the smaller woman to verbally abuse the bigger guy...because he's a MAN and he should stand there and just take it...otherwise, people will label him as a weak assed motherfucker....my point is that if he makes even the least bit of contact while trying to get away from her, she will most likely turn it around and scream "you hit me!"...don't get me wrong, I do not espouse any kind of violence towards women, under any circumstance...but I've dealt with women doing that shit to me AND I've had to go retrieve troops from the MP station who got hauled off by the cops because of the same thing..."officer, I tried to leave...she blocked the door...I moved her out of the way as I tried to leave again, then she called y'all!"

just because men have too much pride to report when they're getting physically abused by the women in their lives, doesn't mean it doesn't happen....

reneGade20 said:

I think a man or anyone is weak when they use their fists when someone verbally abuses them. I personally would not consider a man weak if he held his ground and did not hit a woman verbally abusing him. And who cares what other people would call him?

And you make my point when you speak of troops getting hauled off. They are going to take the woman's side.

On a lighter note: men and women show you "crazy" from early on. People are just as crazy for sticking around and taking that shit.

Vendetta1 said:

Lawd have mercy. I'm not being pulled into this. Plain and simple, not all females who cry abuse are truly victims.There are 2 sides to every story. That's my opinion and I don't need to justify my opinions to anyone. Feel whatever you may.


Smooches;)

Vendetta1 said:

My point in that comment was that some men hold their ground because of what will befall him, legally and otherwise, if he doesn't...as well as being called weak M/Fer regardless of the situation....



This, sadly, is the case more times than not...though in the military's case, they also tend to remove the man in a heated argument just in case...



true, true....crazy is definitely apparent early...but I'm talking about my pre marriage stuff when I mentioned myself....

reneGade20 said:

if this kind of thing is happening, it sounds like a terrible relationship!
How disrespectful and hurtful to belittle and harangue - if after maybe 2 warnings it keeps happening, I'd be giving them an ultimatum, quit that shit or leave. VERY unhealthy! A couple is meant to be a team, on the same side! If he isn't pulling his weight (or insert issue here) and she in turn is being verbally abusive, out of exasperation? anger? frustration? then you have serious problems and need help if you can't do it together. It's totally immature, I just don't understand it. Maybe it's personality types? Upbringing? all of the above
