Some people are just idiots nothing new there. All you can do yourself is always aspire to be a better person.

Thanks, I know it doesnt happen much maybe thats why I'm being shunned for itquiet_samurai said:LeonHellsvite said:Well, today I was on the bus and a guy that tried to get up tripped as the bus started moving, and the guy in across from me (sideways seating) said "haha f**king nice) and I was kinda irritated by that, (I was helping the guy who tripped back up which will lead to what he said next) so anyway I get back in my seat after I helped the guy, and what do you know the guy across frfom me calls me gay, for helping someone up, what happened to maturity, also a while back a kid who badmouthed others was about to get his ass kicked (by someone clearly much stronger) so I tried and succeeded at breaking up a fight nobody else tried to (there were onlookers that I had seen breaking up fights between other people before and it should be noted I didnt like this badmouthing kid either, but to get his ass kicked in a fight against someone clearly stronger, thats unfair) but people all stared at me with that "what the fuck?" look on their faces, It saddens me, even if you dont like/know someone shouldnt you help them in need? I remember when I was young I was always told to "smarten up" or "act more mature" and now that I am in the point of my life where I should be acting mature, it seems I am shunned for it, even by those who TOLD me to act more mature, I dont get people, what happened to maturity?
EDIT: I guess it should be noted, the fight was already well into it and the kid was hurt enough, no need to kick a guy while hes down, I'm sure he learned his lesson considering since then the kid has toned down dramaticaly
Was it like a school bus or a city bus? If it was a school bus then blame it on just being an immature child. If it was a city bus then you should have socked that asshole right in the mouth as you were getting off. If a complete stranger called me gay for helping someone I would have at least said something.... AT LEAST!
PS good for you helping someone, that happens so rarely these days.
lol well im a big guy.. and i just make some small threat with my american accent (i live in scotland) and people think im crazy and walk away... lolgeorge144 said:Ahh but usually a lankie one who's a smoker, up against a 6ft 2 guy who works out regularly at the gym (thats a me) well actually I just rely on my look to scare them off, they try to brush it off with some from of muttered insult and then sit down broodily. Serves them right.vamp rocks said:i would disagree with that... generally there is nothing more dangerous that a prick (especially a young one) who has something to prove via violence...george144 said:I don't interfere generally unless it affects me or I'm bored. Also if it has to do with chavs, I dislike chavs strongly, luckily chavs are weak pricks who get intimidated easily.
What is this maturity you speak of? it intrigues me, oh and concernong the dude falling over ROFLOL NOOB etc....LeonHellsvite said:Well, today I was on the bus and a guy that tried to get up tripped as the bus started moving, and the guy in across from me (sideways seating) said "haha f**king nice) and I was kinda irritated by that, (I was helping the guy who tripped back up which will lead to what he said next) so anyway I get back in my seat after I helped the guy, and what do you know the guy across frfom me calls me gay, for helping someone up, what happened to maturity, also a while back a kid who badmouthed others was about to get his ass kicked (by someone clearly much stronger) so I tried and succeeded at breaking up a fight nobody else tried to (there were onlookers that I had seen breaking up fights between other people before and it should be noted I didnt like this badmouthing kid either, but to get his ass kicked in a fight against someone clearly stronger, thats unfair) but people all stared at me with that "what the fuck?" look on their faces, It saddens me, even if you dont like/know someone shouldnt you help them in need?

Chivalry's not dead, it's just broken and a lot quieter. Feminism shut it up after men were told that 'women don't need helping. They can help themselves.' So although you can still fiund it on a bus when someone stands up so a lady with a pram can sit down, or on the street where something is dropped and someone helps to pick it up, it's generally not very well accepted, or otherwise found unnecessary.Bigfatstupid said:Maturity died. . . .along with Chivalry.
