It's a confrontation thing

I hate confrontations almost as much as I hate having to spell the word. I want everyone to be nice to each other and to be nice to me. That said I have a horrable temper and tend to fly off the handle for no reason (or at least not a good reason). Being shouteted at when you're not expecting it makes you defensive and in turn makes you shout back this then leads to an argument.
I hate arguments too, I always seem to come up with a briallant put down a few hours later, usually when Im trying to sleep.
Drift, driiiift, driiiiiiiiiiiI should have said "fuck you, you slack jawed chunder chunk" yeah that would have been good.
Then I spend some time giggling.
When I was in school it was simple. If someone got on your case you gave them a thump. That is simply not how the adult world works. You have to work through your problems with the other person, however this rather assumed the person you are arguing with is a reasonable person and lets face it if you're having a screaming match with someone they probibly arn't reasonable.....and a wanker.
So today I did some reading for history class, about Chris Columbas. Now as everyone knows, despite being famous for his cartography and navigation abilities, the man failed to find India not once but four times.
I have to wonder if his crew wern't getting a little sick of him after the first two times.
Columbus: At last I have discovered a short cut to India and it's fabulous spice trade, Its glowing sandy white beaches, its palm trees and ....its.......spearwealding.......natives, fuckme I've done it again havent I?
Crewman: Yes. Yes you have...sigh I'll get the map.

What I didn't realise untill today however was that Columbus simply refused to accept he had not found India, despite all the evidence. He seemed to think that India (which was quite sophistacated at the time), was populated by naked people dwelling in mud huts.


This brings me back to the subject of confrontations. I have to think the natives of what is now the U.S of A simply let the white man take thier land and resouirces simply because they were, like me, not wanting to create a fuss

Question time. "What is You're worst habit when It coms to fights? Do you sulk?, throw things?, always try to get the last word in?"
