I'm giving you homework.

Read Dane Geld by Rudyard Kipling.

Yes, but much more eloquent and eminently quotable. Kipling was a treasure.

So you're my teacher? Not. I dislike Buddhists btw. Move to that place where all the Buddhists lie down and allow the Chinese to kill them.

Just read it. You'll appreciate it and have learned something about your culture.

It's pretty awesome.

Dane Geld

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation

To call upon a neighbour and to say: --

"We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,

Unless you pay us cash to go away."

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,

And the people who ask it explain

That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld

And then you'll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,

To puff and look important and to say: --

"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.

We will therefore pay you cash to go away."

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;

But we've proved it again and again,

That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld

You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,

For fear they should succumb and go astray;

So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,

You will find it better policy to say: --

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!"

It’s always about not making yourself an easy target, they won’t steal your money anymore if you stab them

Challenge them to a fight but make sure your back is against a wall. Preferably brick or stone.

Goad the ever living fuck out of them until they wind up to swing at you, then duck.

They won't do it again.

In an adult world nothing fucks up bullies and woman bashers more than getting straight in their face and staring them down. You've just turned the tables on them and every bit of power they have (scaring the fuck out of people to get their way) is now being used against them. One of two things will happen. They're either a complete fucking banana in which case run like fuck or they're a complete fucking pussy and will start thinking of YOU in exactly the same way they want you to think of them.

Can confirm. This fat fuck named Austin picked on me in the sixth grade. I put a tiny shitty pen knife (2" blade) into his thigh. Never fucked with me again. Didn't snitch either.

Edit: Thanks for the upvoats, fellas.

So I decided to take a trip down memory lane. This is very similar to what I had: http://magaimg.net/img/75ad.jpg

I know, I know, a slow, crappy piece of shit, right? Still, when you're 11-12 years old and all the adults basically tell you weapons are a no-no, being able to get one of these for a couple dollars is an incredible rush (especially if you're kind of dorky like I was).

After losing that knife (I kinda just plunged it in and walked away), I ended up buying another one just like it. I never once went to school without some sort of stabbing implement after that. Plenty of kids at school would get caught with bb guns and butterfly knives or whatever, they'd get suspended/expelled too. I never got caught with my shit because I knew better than to show it off or pull it willy nilly (never had to for the remainder of my schooling years). Probably helped that the school security guards and admins saw me more as one of "those" (good-but-weak) kids they had to look out for.

Come to think of it, that was my foray into the importance of self-reliance and introduction to self-defense and use of force. Since then, my gear has only gotten better. Thanks Austin, wherever you are -- I'd be a helpless cuck had you not volunteered your fat ass thigh and subsequent squealing all those years ago.

Early, and often.

My bully ended up getting leukemia. He died within a year and i earned my self a talk with the school psychologist after laughing out loud in the gym, when they gathered us all to give us the "sad" news.

It does. Church of scientology pulled it off and they no longer pay taxes. Despite not being qualified to be a tax exempt church.
