Human vs. Animal? Options

[Reidar]

A trained human can win a fight with almost any animal. Take a grizzly bear, for example. Sure it's slightly stronger, but it lacks agility and a trained human can run faster than it can turn, so all one needs to do is simply run circles around it while delivering strikes to weak points such as its groin.

If being charged, say by a lion, you would want to backpedal in a diagonal fashion, facing the creature. At the last second, charge forward diagonally. As the beast skids past you, deliver a spin kick to a vulnerable area, such as its groin.

Just popping in to say that I read and agreed with this take 100%, but then saw I myself posted it. That should just add to my argument that it's sound advice, though.

You are delusional at best and an idiot at worst. A lion is faster than a human to the point that it could do the exact same tactic to you except 1,000 times better, including a spin kick to your goin. And a bear? It wouldn't even have to bother with the spin, a regular kick from any or all of its legs would craterize your balls into atoms.

So in this imaginary world of yours lions and bears are dangerous because *checks notes* they might kick you in the balls. Got it. Makes perfect sense. That's definitely my primary fear when going up against large apex predators.

Are you intentionally this dense? Point is to illustrate how much more powerful they are than humans by comparing like for like, not that a bear will LITERALLY kick your balls in.

Hi Joanne!!!

No shit a bear is stronger than a human. That's why I mentioned tactics to avoid pitting strength-vs-strength, a massive disadvantage most humans (who aren't me, anyway) are at, by engaging in tactics like backpedaling and then dashing forward at the last instance to use the animal's momentum against it. Rather similar to the same principle of aikido.

Not surprising that you have to resort to strawman arguments. Arguing with yourself: it's what you're best at.

Your anime dodging is not going to flummox a giant mass of muscle and teeth barreling at you 30 MPH. I would follow your lead and throw in a personal insult or three, but your posts already make you look bad enough.

Hey I'm drunk at a club right now and decided to logon here and say you suck. Dummy

Where are the mods? High time your account was banned for ad hominem attacks. It'd probably help your alcoholism too, slob.

I'm going to be vulnerable a second here and admit I was having a rough night when I made that post. I was partying and had just met a girl at the club who I ended up having a few drinks with. She was telling me about herself including that she had a dog named Bear and it instantly took my mind out of the moment and back to this debate. For the rest of the night I was in a drunken stupor and could not stop thinking about Createblog. Finally when we were dancing and I realized I was still thinking about this stupid argument I ran away to the bathroom and posted that before throwing up in the toilet. When I came out she didn't want to dance anymore because I had vomit dribbling down my shirt so I started angrily crying and causing a scene, which got me 86'd from the club.

So that's what happened. I would appreciate if we could pivot from here and either end this or make the tone more amicable.

This definitely took a turn for the bizarre. As much as I sympathize, I have no choice but to request that the mods delete your off-topic messages. Rules are rules and there is order to keep here; we simply CANNOT have outbursts like this compromising the integrity of this board and the users who are trying to engage here.

Furthermore, I'm afraid that I must request that the mods apply a disciplinary mark on your account and dock a point.

I'm willing to refrain from taking this measure if you delete the posts yourself and issue a public apology to both myself and the rest of the board.

You miserable BASTARD. I refuse, and I myself invoke the mods to dock YOU a point for harassment. Swine.

I was going to give you a deadline before I did this, but you don't deserve the mercy.

Mods? Go ahead and dock 2 points from this fool and issue an account warning.
