me again, because this is actually bothering me.
what I choose to post about myself is my own business. maybe you wrote this answer with a small sense of shame over what you did. so, a couple of questions for you. you clearly remember doing this - so, what happened immediately afterwards? were you horrified and compelled to check if she was ok? did you and your mates hoot and high-five each other? how did you feel the next morning when you remembered what you'd done? and don't try and write me off as some militant hairy feminist - substitute 'girl' in your story for 'pensioner' or 'homeless person' or 'toddler' and see how it reads. I am genuinely interested in learning how you view your actions with the benefit of hindsight. don't get me wrong - i've lived quite the life and done things i'm not proud of. but this? it just smacks of bragging and that makes me do a sad.

Ok, if you're that bothered.
I don't feel I've been bragging. The QOTW is random acts of evil, and that's what popped into my head. I was leaving the dance tent, in a massive crowd, and had lost my mates some time earlier. Immediately afterwards I stumbled off, and spent the rest of the night wandering round dazed and confused. When I eventually met up with my mates I did mention it, and they called me a cunt. That's really the end of it.

With hindsight, like I said I don't define myself by one regrettable incident in my late teens. I wrote bad times in the OP , because that's how I felt at the time, and now. It was a bad end to a great weekend. I'd be much more horrified with myself if I did that now, but now it wouldn't happen, as I'd never be in that situation.

See, this doesn't help: "now it wouldn't happen, as I'd never be in that situation."

"Now it wouldn't happen, as I realise it was an awful thing to do and if I were in the same situation I know that I am a different person and I regret what I did" may have helped.

"Now it wouldn't happen, as I'd never be in that situation, but, hey, if I was in that situation, who knows? All bets are off" Really doesn't.

No, it would just be dishonest. I'm not trying to claim the 'I was off my tits immunity card', I take full responsibility for my actions, but I didn't think 'I know I'll go and kick that girl', my eyes rolled, I lost lucidity kicked her, and then thought,'Why the fuck did I do that?' I can't say it would never happen again in the same situation, because I have no way of knowing what I'd do, if I lost control. All I can say is it won't happen, because I don't lose control, as I don't do that any more.

As for regret, of course I regret it, but you have to remember, the outrage everyone in thread is feeling is spanking new. I find it hard to get very emotional about a story- even though I'm the villain- that for me is seventeen years old.

QOTW says 'tell us your random evil acts'. You told us one, late teens/decades ago, drug addled, bad times, you acknowledge you did a bad thing and you regret it, not a recidivist etc. Job done. The Judge Judy types should probably sit this QOTW out.

You have never seen Judge Judy in your life have you?

I have unfortunately caught segments of the show and I felt worse for it

I see, it's just that you seem to have confused the type of judging she does.

FFS Scarpe, its clearly not meant to be a literal comparison. Have you changed meds? - you werent so antagonistic before.

Ha, sorry, I think my sense of humour doesn't translate as well as I'd like sometimes.
