    Default world of boundaries

    I have a friend of a friend of a friend who sells drugs for a living. Two dudes decided to bully this guy, threatening him with reporting him to the police. After deciding these two armatures might follow through on their threats, he decided to educate them on how boundaries work.

    He and a few buddies got a hold of these two dudes, took them out to some field, beat the sh__ out of them, and left them stranded without any clothes. They got the message and left the guy alone.

    Another story. I saw a TV special about some crime boss. The dude was old and frail. He was walking in a parking lot, getting in his car when two teens assaulted him, took his wallet and humiliated him. Days later, the crime boss got two of his guys to pick up the teens and bring them to him, where he lectured them about respect for the elderly. You can image how the teens felt.

    We seem to forget we live in a world of boundaries. Cross those boundaries, and you never know how someone will react.

    Dean, thanks for the laugh, but no thanks. I think you missed the mark on this one, bud. I've been called a female dog, but never a small dog.
    sorry for the inference about small dog. you are indeed a female, but no small dog. in fact, i'm feeling a little, ummm... frightend about your interpretation.

    Just kidding. after all, i'm friends with your brother, and if you hurt me, i'm going to have him beat YOU up.

    Wow. That's interesting morality right there. We're to take that the drug dealer was the good guy in this story?

    Apparently. Kind of like the godfather series, where killing people really wasn't that "evil" under the various circumstances.

    Seems to me, though, that if someone was continually getting jacked by various people, they might want to consider what they are doing that may be attracting such behavior. All I ever get is the occasional finger in traffic when I cut off yet another clueless driver from New York

    It's a lot cheaper if you cut out all those middlemen.
