The big bad me slaps you every day and you being unable to fight me, decides to attack my car. Now you got my attention, now if I really am the big bad bully you claim I am, I get in said car and drive it over you three times for scratching the paint. And if I'm really not the big bad bully you think I am, and you get my attention in this manner I still punch you in the snoot a good one.
All I'm saying is that if (using your analogy) I were to take notice of your attack on my car and say gee, I'm sorry, from now on I won't slap you any more. Maybe the next day when I don't slap you, you'll attack my car again and say I'm hungry, feed me, so I feed you... The next day it's, I want a new car for myself... |
