Who knows? Did you get his life story?
What I'm saying is, the kid and his life, his decisions, are not really any of your business.

That is true. We have no idea what relationship they are in. Maybe the old man was a horrible father. Who knows?Austupaio said:What I'm saying is, the kid and his life, his decisions, are not really any of your business.

I think what he wrote was much more is frustration than being a jerk, but well, that's my opinion. Care to explain what he did wrong?kurczak said:Weaver said:Old man dying story in What made you lose faith in humanity today? thread
I love how the discussion almost ended in you being an immature jerk and the son being in the right
Assault is certainly illegal in Ukraine, but fights among grown up males do not end up being processed in court unless its a political thing or serious damage was inflicted. And by serious damage I mean crippling traumas, coma, etc.Austupaio said:Well, it is their decision but it is not their right, unless Aggravated Assault is legal in Ukraine.
Anyway, at least it worked out okay-ish. Don't take it as me denigrating you at all, by the way, you didn't like their idea to beat the kid up and still wanted to help old dude, so that's decent of you.
Some forumites might feel that way because of diametrical social narratives in our respective cultures. When learning about a conflict, bystanders pick sides based on who they can better relate to. I have no qualms with that.kurczak said:I love how the discussion almost ended in you being an immature jerk and the son being in the right

Maybe that's why they're rewarding him?

The five o'clock shadow on his face makes him look as if he was drunk for a few days and then showed up for his award. Well done.

Vieira said:Also, I'd hardly call that sportswear (unless he is wearing tracksuit bottoms). I'd imagine to see people wearing that clothing while walking the dogs or going for a little trek in the forest. Hardly sportswear.

If wearing a fleece sweater is so positively detrimental to a particular ritual or occasion, said ritual or occasion must be one of very little substance and very much pomp. They decided to invite the bloke, ergo his sartorial preferences are on their hands entirely. Personal hygiene, I feel, is a completely different matter. But clothes maketh the man? Piss on that. You say his conscious decision to not obey discriminating dress-code regulations can be explained by a lack of brain cells; I personally prefer to attribute it to his ginormous pair of testicles and complementary set of guts. For surely not everyone can so easily bear the weight of hundreds of snobs, conservative prudes and aristocrats, looking down at you in sheer disgust.BenKenobi said:Urgrevling said:This.

Hate or not, you do not visit the Queen or the Emperor of Japan in your sweatpants. Also, he [that guy, not the Emperor of Japan] finally commented on his lack of brain cells and exclaimed that: "I do not like such ceremonies. I just had the need to desecrate that ritual a little." What a giant douchebag!
