Engage in a Fight when its cheapest

Postby AbdiWahab252 » Fri Sep 11, 2009 8:46 am

I never understood why people avoid conflict only to allow it to blow up and become a much bigger one instead of taking preemptive actions to have the conflict occur while it is still minor and costs much less to fight.

You're the type that hits first, aren't you?

Paddington,

Only if I realize that its the only option left. As a fan of Sun Tzu (May He Rest in Peace), violence is only to be used when all options have been exhausted.

I have been observing the ever increasing influence of the surwalgab in my homeland yet I am irritated that these vermins were never fumigated when they were just a few roaches :down:

SomaliStar,

Yep, but if the man refuses reason and things are going to boil down to using violence, strike first and make it count.

Sun Tzu was a genius. Even though I adore the work of Nicollo Machiavelli (May he Rest in ever lasting peace).

Shirib,

There is not avoiding conflict. Just like the sun sets, it will occur, you just have do it when it costs the least and is most advantageous to you.

I agree. But I still think you're the type that hits first. :mrgreen:

Paddington,

No, I am not a violent man plus the long arm of the law in these United States can catch you easily. It must be worse in the UK with a camera everywhere even when you are trying to take a leak behind dumpster after clubbing in Leicester Square.

I hate arguing with someone, and I loud confrontations, If someone annoys me I try to avoid them if they keep doing it I sukker punch them simple as that, I cant be bothered to go back and forward with them, and am pretty bad at tongue wrestling, In fact I sukk at it ,that`s why I turn to violence instead. I know it`s bad but I my entire family is like that, gacan ka hadalka noga fudud nacnacda iyo muranka bila micnaha ah.

AW - This Sun Tzu's quote describes the current stalemate in Somalia. The man was a genius. :up:

"So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a thousand battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself"

Hold your horses there, son. He never said he actually won those fights. :mrgreen:

Fair enough Abdulwahab. But I fully agree with your argument there. The problem was that Al Shabab slithered their way into the Somali scene. By the time anyone noticed what a bunch of nutcases they were they already had Kismaayo. :lol:

Paddington,

This was in the works for years. A famous lady called out the dangers back in 1996 about what would happen.

I will send you the clip via your PM.


Xamud,

:lol: I hope you know when to stop :up:

Abdiwahab
I never provoke, and I rarely fight these days. I`m just saying some people prefer tongue wrestling I prefer doing it the old way even if means getting whipped :up:
