Is it ever acceptable to have enemies in life?

[brianabanksy]

I think it is. Based on the fact there are invariably people out there who will fuck around with you, or want to cause you harm.

There is a person in my classes who always tries to undermine my answers. I don't answer any different, but then she has some agenda. There are other people who answer the same, and she doesn't come down on them.
So after class I laugh at her, and this somehow bothers her. It's pretty much escalated where she says she's tired of me laughing at her. I don't care. I have no reason to care. I'm open to reasons why I should. If anybody else can speak freely, then so can I. She's lucky I'm not a savage person, since I'd beat her down (I don't care if she's a girl or not and I'm a guy....I'm not from Victorian times......) for denying me my humanity and singling me out for no real reason. I don't care if she dislikes me or not. I hold the right to speak freely like all others in the class do. That's on others if they find that offensive. So having her as an enemy really hurts her more than it does me. I even had some loose acquaintances tell me that they support me since she was out of order. The class teacher even said she thought she was out of order. Some of her friends even said I should drop it, but never. I have no reason not to. I'm entitled to the same rights and space as others.

There is another point where some older lady said that I deserved to be bullied, and nobody should care if I'm bullied. we were in some group at the hospital, and i didn't really care, so I punched her hard. She was saying that the supposed basic norm of humanity didn't apply to me. it apparently applied to everybody else by default but not me for some trite reason. She then used to give me hard looks, but I didn't care. Don't label me as less than for your kicks, or then take stock of your own conduct.

Just as traditional tribes fought ritual warfare where few were injured and even fewer killed, to establish tribal identity, so electronic tribes, etribes, on the net, also engage in ritual warfare, eDemocrats and eRepublicans are a good example.

So ritual warfare is to establish tribal identity, and we can't have etribal identity unless we have an etribal enemy.

Look, I was a person who was laughed at when I was a teenager several times and I can tell you, it gets you to the high nerves. You always have the option to try to avoid and leave the person as alone as possible, rather than engage on a conflict that will end up being irrational and meaningless.

So you punched a woman. Any other morsels of militant manhood you'd like to share with us?
