Apparently I'm "militant"...

[TC2]

It's come to my attention that quite a few people who know me think of me as "militant".


WTF does "militant" mean when describing a person???

 

[BileStew]

That' you're aggressive or overly aggressive.

 

[tuc biscuit]

it means gay

 

[chewyxrage]

strong opinions

 

[Robert Jan]

Strongly held opinions, doesnt take shit from people, low threshold to agression

 

[BrandonXJ]

willing to resort to violence rather easily.

It means you're billigerent in your world-views and opinions.

An example of "militant" == Black Panthers

An example of non-militant == Ghandi

So basicly an asshole...grrreat.

I thought maybe because I have a great deal of disilpine(?) in my life, but I guess asshole works too.

I have steadfast opinions and principles , but I'm not billigerent about them.

 

[milo hobgoblin]

LOL... means your extremely passionate and rigib about particular things...

probably means your friends think you need to relax a little..

 

[Y_lifter]

Instead of rationally talking to someone in a conflict and hearing their side, you may appear to state your opinion, and if they do not agree,
you walk away, dismiss them as silly or fight argue etc to get what you want..

Adolf Hitler was militant. There you go.

TC, I was reading a few posts of yours regarding a ex that bailed on you after several years...you seemed pretty bitter about the deal, and it was over a year ago. Does this have anything to do with your militancy?

Well let me explain something..i have noticed that when I'm subject to constant social exposure (AKA having a job) the people at these places view me as the same, but the thing is, I'm not, it's just that i speak my mind and don't put up with bullshit, but otherwise I am the friendliest, most open minded laid back guy ever. The reason these people view me as being an asshole is because they are sheep and not used to speaking their mind or putting up with bullshit, so they see someone who is like that as being a cocksucker. They just aren't used to it.

Very possibly, good point.

I've become seriously hardened since then and my views on life, one's future and especially women have dramaticly changed.

I have zero tolerance for bullshit anymore.

mil·i·tant
adj.
1. Fighting or warring.
2. Having a combative character; aggressive, especially in the service of a cause: a militant political activist.

n.
A fighting, warring, or aggressive person or party.

Basically, if you don't stand for any shit, you're militant.

 

[juve]

I get that too sometime's... But like you, I'm not billigerent, and my friend's are still my friend's. It also take's a little bit for me to resort to "violence"...although I do have no problem attacking somebody first, if I'm feeling (or a friend or family) physically "threatened" and I feel their is no other way out of it...

I agree, and I had to learn how to speak my opinion's/view's or even the fact's, in a more "subtle" way...I found people tend to listen and are more open minded that way... People don't like to have their ego's stomped on and don't like to find out they where "wrong", in one way or another... So, if you can present the "case" to them in a "non-agressive" way, they'll more likely "listen" to what you have to say...

How come the brotha always has to be the militant? Why couldn't it be a skinhead? or Al Qaeda?

I think its interesting you're being referred to as "militant" instead of just bitter?? I mean, its natural if you're in a situation where a relationship ends.. you're gonna be mad about shit. Tell the ones who are referring to you as "militant" to go suck an egg.

No.. they are right.

My personality did change somewhat, and she did much more than just end our relationship, so I'm way past bitter. It changed my whole outlook on life.

I'm just gonna call you Hamas from now on. Ok, Hamas?
