Unfortunately, that happened to me once.
As a youngster, probably 3 grade-ish, I was in the back yard catching pop flies. I don't remember exactly who hit it (or potentially threw it), but it was a towering pop fly. I went to get under it with my glove and the ball went over my mitt and struck me right between the eyes. It was crazy. At the time, I was wearing glasses-- that kind of older school frame that created a square above the nose where it connected the two lenses together.
The ball struck with such force that the "square" piece smash into my forehead, and I needed 6 stitches to close this gapping square wound between my eyes.
Uh, needless to say, I have always had a problem playing catch.

as long as you're not the guy throwing the ball intentionally at someones melon that's something entirely different. I know what the thread is about, I just think in the end it's still trying to glorify punching someone in the face.

I find I have a greater desire to punch people over the internet, unfortunately my arms aren't long enough.
Btw this game was awesome

Getting into a fight does not imply starting one.
Getting a shot in feels great. It is a primordial feeling that possibly eclipses sex. If you don't start it, and finish it, are you really a troglodyte?
If someone goes after you, do you roll into a ball and cry until it is over?
happens; adrenaline is a great thing. That shakiness in your limbs afterwards is awesome.
No one is making fighting to be something you should chase, but beating someone (especially an instigator) provides a feeling you can't describe. You can be Beta, or you can be VHS.

I'm probably coming off as a pacifist hippie here because I bother to reply, but my point still stands. there are many better ways to protect yourself if someone comes after you than to hit them in the head. if you have the ability to not let the adrenaline block any logical thought in your brain you could avoid killing someone by not being the neanderthal.

So if someone takes a swing at you, you will not retort?
That is not being a pacifist, that is being a .

Me thinks he gropes the approaching penis and attempts a *smooch* either that or telling the combatant he suffers from leprocy. Unclean

a lot of self defense techniques that don't include blows to the head. if someone takes a swing at me for no reason and I feel threatened enough a swift kick to the dick usually gets the attacker on other thoughts. and this is coming from someone who has trained and taught Jujutsu for 18 years. it's better to be a than to kill someone. blows to the head are never ok unless it's a life threatening situation and there are no other options.
I guess I shouldn't expect you wannabe alpha males to grasp this idea ;)
