These kids have so much going for them but can't resist hitting a woman? Weak Sauce
October 4th, 2017 at 8:47 AM ^
The problem isn't resistance to hitting a woman, the problem is the impulse to begin with.

Not really. Resisting implies there is an impulse to begin with. The thought of hitting someone (regardless of gender) as an option shouldn't exist to begin with. It's like someone trying to quit smoking. Generally, they are going to have to resist the impulse to light a cigarette. With someone who has never smoked, there wouldn't even be an impulse to begin with.

Maybe if you where the guy in Alaska that lived by himself into his eighties. Of course I doubt you get free Wifi there and can get on MgoBlog. LOL.

The goal of civilization is to prevent one person from bashing another on the head and taking their stuff. Impulses are normal. Not acting on them requires civility. This is why internet forums degrade society - they remove the impulse control because you can tell someone they are an idiot without getting punched in the mouth.

Note to self. Always keep you distracted so you never get that time to plan

Pro tip: Spend your early life tirelessly chasing enough money so you can distract yourself with hookers and blow for your remaining years.

That kind of falls in line with what I told my ex. I told her to not feel bad and that I would have stalked her, but I am just to lazy.

Not saying this means Johnson truly loved whoever he hit. Just saying I think many perfectly normal people have felt like hitting a loved one at one point. The good people never act on it.
October 4th, 2017 at 9:50 AM ^
I guess I've never been in love then. How in the hell is wanting to hit someone a measuring stick here?

I encourage you to do some research on Bonobos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonobo
Recent studies show that there are significant brain differences between bonobos and chimps. The brain anatomy of bonobos has more developed and larger regions assumed to be vital for feeling empathy, sensing distress in others and feeling anxiety, which makes them less aggressive and more empathic than their close relatives. They also have a thick connection between the amygdala, an important area that can spark aggression, and the ventral anterior cingulate cortex, which helps control impulses. This thicker connection may make them better at regulating their emotional impulses and behavior.

Humans are animals but the difference with us and other animals is that we have a lot of bad behavior that revolves around fight and flight mechanism being triggered at non life threatening situations.

I can honestly say that I've never wanted to punch my wife in the face, or anywhere else. I'm confident I really love her and am "in love" with her.
I can also honestly say that this probably says a lot more about my wife than it does about me.
October 4th, 2017 at 10:09 AM ^
your wife doesn't have bipolar disorder?
October 4th, 2017 at 12:14 PM ^
How?

I'm just curious about something here. what did you name the mannequin that you are in love with that you stole from a JCpenny's?
October 4th, 2017 at 1:41 PM ^
The name is Galatea.
(Just kidding. I want to punch those mannequins right in the pie hole, and always have.)

Not even a Donkey Punch?

A psychopath is an individual without empathy. That is all. Some are violent, some are presidents, some are CEOs or lawyers or drug dealers. They are still human beings. In fact, many are some of the most influential people in world history. Control of impulse has nothing to do with it - a truly psychopathic person knows full well the impact of their actions and simply don't care. They are the great manipulators.

Anger and wanting to hit someone are just two entirely separate things. I've been unbelievably mad in my life. I have rarely had the urge to resort to violence of any sort.
I've never wanted to hit a woman I loved and some of them have done some awfully shitty things.

October 4th, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
I've had the impulse to run one through a wood chipper. Of course cleaning, d.n.a. and all that, laziness again took over so I just stopped talking to her instead. That always works out better as they usually end up being the ones angry. Bye.

In a similar vein, back when I was a pediatrician, I would tell all my new parents, "I'm gonna be upfront with you, there's going to be some times when you're so tired and so frustrated and so confused, and your kid is going to be crying and crying and crying. You're not going to know what to do and you're going to be at your wit's end and just mad. When you feel that happening, you can set the baby down (on their back), walk away, and close the door for a few minutes. Nothing they're crying about will get worse in a few minutes and you can take some deep breaths and compose yourself. Regaining your composure is how you'll show them you love them." Nobody ever said, "that'll never happen to me" and having that feeling doesn't mean they don't love their kids unconditionally. Acting on that feeling is an entirely different ballgame and that's a big, big difference.

That was the best parenting advice I ever got when my first-born was a baby. 3 mins of quiet on the deck, smoke half a cigarette (the doctor didn't mention that part), and then back at it feeling a little less insane.
October 4th, 2017 at 2:30 PM ^
I have bad thoughts pop up in my head all the time. Granted I have a severe mental disorder, but I have NEVER acted on them. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone

Thats a shame. I hope the young man gets his life on track outside of football.
