Ah I was close. It's just as a kid who grew up in the 90's there was SO much hero worship of Michael Jordan. Someone would have to have grown up after the 90's to miss his significance.
Or maybe just someone who doesn't like basketball? Understandable though.

I mean, theres nothing wrong with that. Celebrity worship culture is so fucking stupid.
I know it annoys me so much. Everytime I see an article about what celebrities are up to and their relationships or whatever I'm just like "who fucking cares?". I have a handful of people who I really like what they do, but I don't know anything about their families or whatever. Maybe a thing or two about their career but nothing aside from that.

I do feel kinda stupid sometimes when confronted with all this crap I know nothing about, but in the end I really just don't give a shit.

Michael Jordan was/is the greatest basketball player of all time. His name is often associated with being the best in general. Also the Air Jordans are named after him.

Robert Downey Jr. is a movie star. His most recent high profile role is Tony Stark/ Ironman in several MCU movies over the last 10 years.

Nicholas Cage
Adam Sandler

fair enough...but like...I'm 42. Tom Hanks has been a pretty huge movie star for about as long as I've been aware of cinema.

like...Big? Splash? Forrest Gump? Castaway? even ignoring the past 20 years of his career...he's arguably iconic for like a dozen roles. in recent History, among others he's played Captain Philips, Sully, and Mr Fred Fucking Rogers. I genuinely find it hard to believe anyone on the planet that speaks english and isn't wearing a loincloth daily has no idea who this man is. I don't mean like...we celebrate his birthday like a national holiday or anything, but this man has been in film consistently for 40 years.
Oh yeah, Big and Forest Gump. I know those. But it's like, if you like listening to music, does that mean you know the name of everybody in the band? No. I've seen movies without knowing who the actor are.

I wouldn't say asexual. I don't know if I'll ever hook up or anything in the future because my life right now is pretty non-social, but I do have an interest in sex. I do enjoy porn and stuff -- but only videos of other gals. Seeing a guy in there is an instant turn-off.

Tom Hanks -- Can't recall who he is.
John Cena -- I only know of him because of those memes that went around for a while.

Everybody else, probably I've heard of more than I think, but they either aren't important enough in my mind or I have so little idea on what they do, that I can't remember them just off the top of my head.

I hate the whole celebrity scene thing. I don't give a shit. I only know celebrities if I really like them, or if people around me won't shut up about them.

Here's a list of literally every living celebrity I can name off the top of my head.

-Brad Pitt (not actually that handsome...)
-Angelina Jolie (she's just, like, an actor or something?)
-Miranda Cosgrove (liked her as a kid. don't know what she does nowadays...)
-Gordon Ramsay (love him.)
-Gabriel Iglesias (hilarious and saw him in person.)
-Jeff Dunham (all-time favorite comedian. also saw in person.)
-Steve Carell (classic.)
-Jim Carrey (also classic.)
-Snoop Dawg (never heard a single song from him.)
-James Wan (favorite director. does he even count??)
-Elon Musk (only learned about what he actually does earlier this year.)
-Kanye West (also never heard any of his stuff.)

There's more I'm semi-familiar with but I can't remember their names right now. Give me the name of a celebrity and I'll let you know if I've ever heard of them.

Spoiler: I probably haven't.

Nobody has gave me any valid reason to change my stance on "if you play with fire you get burned". Perhaps if they did I'd be more open. All I see is folk making false claims. All you're telling me is 19 folk who voted on this poll should be prepared for consequences if they stick their nose in other peoples shit. If they are not then I can't help them and they will be in for a shock in the real world. Likewise these youths been arrested for assault is deserved too.

We absolutely have given you good reasons but you do not agree with them being valid enough to change your mind even slightly. We also agree with some of what you say but the rest isn't even worth repeating at this point because you do not seem to understand what we are saying. That's fine. Sometimes people just have a difference in opinion that can't be changed. It's good that you agree that the youths should have been arrested, however.

In the end, I think we all believe that each party was somewhat guilty of what happened. That we can agree on. However, the majority of us are saying that most of the blame goes onto the youths -- you seem to believe that the man has much more fault than the rest of us do.
This has made people angry because it's seen as you blaming the man too much for the fact that he was assaulted, which in most of our opinions isn't fair. He made mistakes, yes, but you're the only one who implies that he deserved it entirely. I could probably dedicate a lot of thought and time into this to continue trying to get you to see what we perceive, but it isn't worth it.

Again, there's no point in going back and forth any more since obviously neither side is budging. Of course people can debate as long as they want -- but I myself think that it's just time to accept we have different opinions, say "agree to disagree", and walk away. It can sure be frustrating but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter... I'm done debating about it.

You got a little snide at times but that's understandable. Thanks for being civil in the long run... I was afraid that things were going to go south after the whole "don't post this horrible shit here" thing lol

We have such an intense drive for knowledge, we can be so smart and capable, it's too bad to see people who are degenerates and throw away every potential a human could have... I think we're so used to our society and day-to-day life, and that we consider ourselves so separate from nature, that we kind of forget how evolutionarily amazing we actually are.

insurance battles you'll have to get into?
You know, getting into a crash and your insurance doesn't want to pony up the dough? Like running into a deer but without proof of deer you get stiffed.

I've seen insurance do some shitty things to my mom over the years.

I'm 21 and I haven't even driven yet because of mental health shit. Not looking forward to the inevitable insurance battles I'll have to get into...

But I guess experience is an invaluable thing in any form.

maybe you should mind your own business if you're going to post horrible shit like that
Yeah that was a pretty shitty thing to say. We won't mug him over it, though -- only assholes would do something like that.

I definitely agree with this. I think there is a line at which one should expect negative consequences based on a series of stupid decisions. I just don't think this was one of those cases where it's accurate to say that this man provoked the violence that he received.
Absolutely. Mugging the guy was a huge overreaction.

Depends if you are saying it in a provoking way, if the person likes you or many other factors in how they might act. However as you started a avoidable situation you shouldn't be shocked when there is consequences.

Consequences always happen. But sometimes we get more than we deserve. I may deserve to be called out on being annoying but I don't deserve to be assaulted in this case.

Then stop implying that I am.

You are implying that you condone violence for this situation. I'm not saying you condone violence all the time because I'm sure that you don't. In this case though, you seem very content with the fact that this guy got hurt for just being a little annoying.

If he carried on walking off the tram this situation would have been avoided. He decided to get involved. How is this not his own fault?

Because the kids were the ones that made the decision to attack him. He may have instigated it in their minds, but they are responsible for how they react and what they do because of it.

Good because you'll be in for a long wait.

Haha, yup. I'm the same way. No problem here.

The thing is, it's entirely possible to say that the criminals are entirely responsible for their own reprehensible actions while still accurately pointing out that the victim was an idiot.

It's not an either-or situation where one side is clearly 100% right and the other is 100% wrong. It is more than possible for everyone involved to be 100% wrong and deserving of scorn.

This is absolutely correct and I know exactly what you mean.

Like the stories about the bully who harasses somebody for years until they snap and almost kill the guy. On one hand, the bully was wrong and maybe even deserved it, but still shouldn't have to be faced with the potential to lose their life and thus the opportunity to ever become a better person. On the other hand, we understand the victim completely and we may have even done the same, but it still isn't right to resort to violence and let yourself stoop as low as those who hurt you.

This is a perfect example of how life isn't ever really black and white. Especially when it comes to things like crimes of passion and mental health, things get very gray. It's easy to say something is wrong without ever having been in the situation yourself. You may think you know how you'll react to certain things but you actually never really know until it happens.

However, there are cases where it's clear that, even though neither party is entirely guilt-free -- one has gone too far.
This is just such a case and the problem that people are having is that you don't seem to recognize that.

Yes. That's what he did by sticking his nose in. The situation was between the youths and the conductor.
So if I say to a shirtless person on a cold winter day "Wow, don't you want to wear a jacket?" I deserve to be followed, attacked, and get my bag stolen? Then I can't be upset about it because I was sticking my nose where it doesn't belong and "inviting" that kind of criminal behavior?

You may not have actually said that you condone violence but you just have to hear yourself, man, and realize that maybe this isn't the most tactful response to things... I get what you're saying on some level about the guy being nosey but you don't seem to understand that it isn't his fault he got hurt by some very hot-headed and immature people.

Victim blaming is the perfect term for this. I don't think you realize it but that's what you're doing. Maybe what you're saying just came off wrong and now you have to defend yourself and try to explain it. I've been there too. But when ever after that everybody else jumps in and tells me I'm in the wrong I have to realize that they may be right if it's that unanimous and give in even though I might still feel like I'm right.

I'm not telling you to apologize or anything, it doesn't matter enough to get into a huge argument over. I think we just kinda want you to understand that what you're saying isn't really that fair.

That's what I call reaching and your reaching very far. No way, shape or form is this the same thing as blaming rape victims. Also if you bothered to even read my posts you'll know I don't condone any sort of violence.
I'm not saying it's the same because clearly it's not. I'm saying that the train of thought behind blaming the victim is similar. You can't commit a crime upon somebody just because you perceive that they've opened themselves up to it. That's garbage and if everybody thought like that then imagine how many times we'd all get assaulted and then told it was our fault.

Again, the guy was being annoying -- but he didn't deserve to get mugged. That's not okay.
