I got in a fight with my cousin - was I wrong?

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
I don't get on well with him, and last night I hit him in the face after an argument and broke his nose. He came back a few hours after from the hospital and said that he might have to live with a bent nose for good now. But I don't care, I don't really care about nothing people.

Was I wrong to get in a fight with him?

    Depends, why did you hit him?

    We got in an argument and I just felt angry. I don't respect him at all and I just felt like hitting him.

    How would you feel if someone broke your nose just because they felt like it?

    I don't know. But as I said, I think he's a shit, so I don't care.

    Arguing is ok.

    Hitting people is not ok, in fact its bad regardless of the reason you hit that person/animal/object/wall.

    i didnt ask whether he was a shit or not. I asked how youd feel. Whether you are able to maybe put yourself in the position of another.


    Why are you asking if you dont care?

    the argument must of been pretty bad for you to hit him and brake his nose.
    this reminds me of me and my dad (without the hitting part)
    but we argue non stop and i feel nothing towards him,
    but ive learnt at the end of the day hes my dad. my blood
    and no matter what i say or do he will always love me.

    just with you and your cousin you will always be related no matter how much you hate him. you might as well just be the bigger person and walk away if he starts annoying you or trying to start and argument just ignore him and go away from him.

    Yes, no matter how angry you are it's wrong to start fights. And it can also be potentially dangerous for yourself in the future if you were to meet a stronger oppononent that won't hesitate to resiprocate, if you are prone to start fights during arguments.

    The first thing you should do is to apologize if it was you that hit first and only, which from what I read seems to be the case here. Don't be too surprised if he chooses to press charges either.

    I just want to know if what I did was ethical or not.

    I'd think it's bad to physically attack an animal, but thanks anyway for your comment.

    I don't think I can apologise, nor do I want to. As I said, I consider him as a nothing, so apologies aren't relevant here.

    Well then, to answer your direct question, I believe you were wrong to end the argument by punching him. But all of this is subjective to a certain extent, and you clearly don't think you were wrong.

    Why don't you get on with him? Has he treated you badly?

    He just annoys me. He's lacks confidence and is a burden on others.

    You're asking if its ethical that you hit your cousin hard enough to break his nose when he was not being violent toward you?

    ...what do you think?

    Of course it is. You physical hurt someone. If he lacked confidence without a broken nose how is he going to feel now? Not a whole lot better eh?

    I don't really care. That would be his problem, not mine.

    This is a pretty obvious attempt to troll, as most of ilipintt's posts are.

    If you don't care, then why are you asking if it was ethical or not?

    Hitting people is wrong, particularly if they didn't show any violence towards you, and your reason for him "being a shit" is pathetic, imo. I am finding it increasingly difficult to believe that you are genuine.

    Exactly, all the OP wants is someone to say 'Yeah, what you did was ok' so they can feel better about themselves for breaking someone's nose :rolleyes:

    Piece of rubbish. Sorry to say, but you seem to lack emphaty for other people completely? Ok, so he lacks confidence and you think he's a burden to others, but how on earth does hitting someone solve that? There are people that annoys me too, but it doesn't mean I'd hit them unless we're talking about self defense.

    For what you know, your cousin might have had a hard time earlier in life or something like that, and you're not making that better with starting a fight with your cousin.

    Hope he has the guts to drag your ass to court. If it was me, I'd sue you for every penny you own.

    Maybe he thinks you are a shit too? But he didn't see the need to break you a bone. Kudos to him to not hitting you back. If the only reason for you to hit him, was because of an argument and because you think low of him, then I think you did a terrible mistake.

    you broke his fucking nose out of spite and asking if it was ethical? What are you? A cave(wo)man?
