Hate my way

this reminds me of the recent simpsons episode where marge is mugged. she lifted weights and then took lots of steroids. it was a crap episode.

whoa i'm following weird trains of thought today (see also my radiohead thread). yeah i was mugged once, when i was 13 or so, in dublin. i've been punched in the town where i live a couple of times, just random strangers coming up to me - one punch, then they walk off - nothing serious. it's a bad world out there, alright. hope your friend is ok...

me = exactly what Kilian said, except in London (or rather Wimbledon, Wimbledon and Teddington, respectively). I hope your friend is okay - at least she wasn't assaulted, although that's a pretty crappy consolation.

Try and put your rage to good use, if you can. See what steps you can take to find out about local intiatives, or see if victim support need volunteers. It's a lot better than impotent fist-clenching.

My friend was thankfully physically unharmed, but left in shaking anger, especially because her house was robbed very recently, and they only just moved into the area (it isnt a great suburb). She's wanting to get out now, she doesn't feel safe. If I didn't feel safe in my 'hood, I'd hate that.

Mark, you make a good point. Directing anger into activity is always a great thing to do.

sometimes even petty things bring on the hate. someone yells something, cuts me off, whatever. i'm always too slow to respond. i always wanted to carry a small plastic baby around. when a car nearly runs me over or fails to stop at a crossing i want to pretend to trip, drop the baby under the wheels...

Oh dear... I know I shouldn't laugh gaz, but that is actually rather funny. I'd love to see the look on some roadragers face after pulling a trick like that!
