LOL.

Question: why don't you take this attitude with your mean, dumb roomates?? Problem solved.

I do but I don't make the first move because you can't take back violence like you can take back words. Hence this thread.

I would really enjoy watching you challenge, and then fight your roommates. What city do you live in? Can you videotape the whole thing and post it?

As you should have learned in 3rd grade, they bother you because you let them bother you. Grow a friggin thicker skin and find a way of solving the problem without your stupid-ass fight idea.

try not to let them goet under your skin. if you dislike them, have as little to do with them as possible. just ignore their barbs.
however, if you feel this is impossible/outside the bounds of your charecter, lay down the gauntlet. Next time one of them harrasses you, tell him to stop, or else you will fight him. only do this if you are prepared to actually follow through. also, only do this if you feel they are not the type of people who will sue you/call the police.
i generally feel violence is a very poor way to solve conflict, but if they persist in their ways despite your best non violent efforts, change tactics.

It's getting bad that they will disagree with everything I say and belittle me when I make points that are correct by disagreeing in a condescending way.

I'd like to see a transcript of one of these exchanges.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay. Tonight the argument that brought about this post:

ass1: did you plant those seeds over there?

me: yeah but I didn't put topsoil over them so I'm afraid the bugs will eat them

ass2: bugs don't eat seeds [censored]

me: yes they do

ass2: no they dont

me: yes they do, they have nutrients in them

ass2: oh yeah, like what? (In a challenging tone)

me: like fat and carbs

ass1: oh yeah right, plants have fat? Hahaha

ass2: hahahah

me: yes.... have you not heard of vegetable oil?

ass2: that's oil, oil isn't fat

me: omg... yes it is, have you ever looked at the label on peanut butter, etc?

them: (realizing they are wrong) no that’s completely different, the oil turns to fat inside the body

me: *head about to explode*

both of them: you have no idea what you are talking about, oh right, so if you eat vegetables you will get fat? right? blah blah blah, don't forget to trim the fat off your asparagus, etc etc etc for maybe 15 minutes unprovoked

I look it up on wiki, okay I’m right, probably one of the dumbest arguments ever but wtf, I'm relaxing next to my pool while they laugh between each other about a subject they know nothing about just to provoke me.

You and your roomates are all morons. If I actually heard that conversation take place I would shoot you all. I don't know how you pick your roomates, but you didn't do very well.

Even though your roommates are witless in their criticism, you do kind of sound like a tool deserving of mockery. Come on, bickering over whether or not bugs are going to eat your seeds? They are making fun of you because they know you're weak and from the argument you sound pretty whiney. Fighting will just make the situation awkward and most likely put you in an even more dominated position. Challenging someone to a boxing match is somewhat legit but it will probably be a slap fest since I'm guessing none of you have any skill. What are the physical stats of you and your roommates?

Take the middle ground. Stand up for yourself without resorting to violence. It's called being assertive.

There's alot of material out there. You might want to read up a bit and practice your assertiveness skills on your roomies.

on a small scale, don't allow them to trap you into stupid arguments. if its about something important, ask questions about their position to prove how BS they are. have them defending their position instead of vice-versa. proving their argument is BS should be much easier than the route your taking.

but as bluffoon said, earning their respect requires you to be assertive, and simply not put up with their crap. good luck
