Subject: Who would you fight?
Date Posted: September 18 2012 at 22:51
Tyler Durden said "Lincoln". The Narrator (Jack) said "Gandhi". But who would you fight? (Does not necessarily have to be a celebrity; it can be anyone.)

I hate to be derivative, but I find Gandhi really repugnant and would delight in taking a pop at him.
Or, now that I think of it, I would love to give FDR a punch right in his socialist-leaning, polio-ridden face.

I might be being unpatriotic by not supporting a fellow Australian, but a few years back I would have loved to take a swing at that lead singer from Silverchair Daniel Johns! Smug little t**t! Responsible for some of the most pretentious and self-indulgent pseudo-intellectual `clever' lyrics that would even make any prog artist blush!
These days the band is over and you don't hear much from him, but damn, if I'd caught up with him back in - Gloves up, girly-man!

I was gunna say, I was sure you'd say him, or Wilson, or Keynes, or Marx.
Has anyone said Jesus? Nothing personal against him, just for the sake of saying I fought Jesus. Buddha is another possibility.
Or the obligatory: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan

I think today I'd try my hand at Boris Yeltsin. He was corrupt, plus my grandma hated him, so why not?

Putin is not a bad choice, the more because I should have another fist left to plant in the face of Silvio Berlusconi. Or - even better - Van Rompuy and Barroso. Or maybe Rutte and Samsom, but these are of a lesser weight class.
In this thread I regret that I'm not a fighter...

Good call. That reminds me of a bully who used to hassle on the way home from school when I was in third grade. I got rid of him by trying to run him over with my bike, which scared him a little, but I've still entertained fantasies of tracking him down. Hey, maybe on Facebook. Just a sec...

Does it have to be a fist fight, because I'd love to just to put Taylor Swift, Justin bieber and their "die hard fans" into a fenced in area and just blow them to smithereens and come back a hero for ridding the world of pure crap.... Too drastic?
------------- I would never cheat in a relationship...
That would require TWO people finding me attractive.

I am a big guy, but I figure I could probably take Steven Hawkings in a boxing match.
Also some other interesting people to fight would be:
The Queen of Denmark
Any marathon runner
Bob Dylan
Barbra Cartland
Dalai Lhama
Cliff Richard
Miley Cyrus
Steve Buschemi
Angela Merkel
Nicklas Bendtner
Gollum
Ronald McDonald
J.K. Rowling
Scarlet Johanson
Placido Domingo

Maybe too drastic.
Fist-fight? Well, what else? Otherwise, it's not a fight.

^Nothing, don't worry - it's not about hate. I happen to adore a couple of the ones I mentioned, I just thought about who would be the most interesting to fight.

But the question is do these people deserve a "real" fight? haha Okay um I think an interesting fight would be with Kristin Stewart.

Yeah, I think you're right. Or maybe "thought experiment" was the phrase I was thinking of.
