(The following video isn’t exactly news-worthy, but, it is a worthy watch.
The action gets better (or worse, depending on your interpretation) as the
video progresses, especially around the 2:50 mark. There’s a bit of crude
language in this snap-shot of urban life, so if you are particularly
sensitive to that, feel free to cover your ears.)
If this is indicative of modern-day city life in America, I count my
blessings for having no part in the experience.
(Imagine trying to write a transcript of this?)
I really can’t grasp how, in a civilized society, some people come to act
like this. They just go about their daily lives in this matter, thinking
nothing of how they comport themselves, believing this kind of interaction
with other people is natural.
Having said that…
I’ve gained some valuable insight from this little cinematic spectacle on
how to effectively approach a verbal disagreement when in a big city:
ALWAYS SHOUT! The louder you shout, the more substantive your argument
will seem.
While shouting, repetition of words or phrases is key to bolstering your
position – Your Position - YOUR POSITION! (See!)
Tired? Stoned? Ignorant? Then always have a like-minded sidekick.
The tag-team strategy provides a multitude of benefits when engaged in
mature, heated debate.
If you are black, learn Ebonics. If you are white, learn Ebonics. If
you are neither: RUN!
When possible, bring yo’ children with you. They can provide
unassailable justification for your actions. After all, you’re just
protecting them from deleterious influences.
When you are with yo’ children, lead by example. It’s never too early
to prepare them for future confrontations. For instance: The children in
this video start shouting “THAT’S WHY YOU GAY!” at the security guard. (
Not sure why they chose to brand him as “gay.” I could maybe understand
them yelling ”Poopie-head,” but “gay?”) This is a wonderful paradigm of
the second bullet-point.
And for the married women watching this video, take note: Only after
the ‘mother’ sprang right back up from having been Tased did her husband
feebly attempt to intervene. This indirect emasculation of the husband is
an added benefit.
As per the Taser: Even though she received enough voltage to light up Vegas
, she handled it like a true pro. She got hit, tipped over like a felled
tree, and was up and at it within seconds. No doubt this amazing recovery
was the result of years of practice.
All in all, I’d say this is probably a fairly accurate representation of
real life in most cities.
It might be a nice place to visit, but it sure isn’t where I’d want to
live.
Or die. | b*******n 发帖数: 8420 | |
