Next time, punch back, but use the palm of your hand, not your knuckles. Use your free hand to pull his head toward you. Go for the nose. Scream as loud as you can.
If someone starts shouting at you, an uppercut to the chin will shut him up.
You also need to work on your "my gun is always loaded" look. This has become my natural expression and I haven't had any trouble since I've started using it.

Really? McDonald's? Why not someplace more romantic Bikkuri Donkey?
I hope this doesn't hurt the guy's wife's presidential campaign.
The best line of the movie: I'd rather have a Whopper.
I don't think this is what his father had in mind when he said, "Go get a 'job' at McDonald's."

Without proof, it's a pointless discussion.

When you say "children" I assume you mean all ages, however, I believe three-year-olds and under don't really have much ability to discuss what is and isn't good behavior. They do understand that pouring milk on the floor results in a smack on the head. Would you say, "Hey, you're going to lower the resale value of our house!"

You're all wrong. None of you have any proof whatsoever.
Parents have less influence than peers, in my opinion, though, in shaping our kids.

What might that be?
One thing that has happened to the insurance industry and is easy to understand is the internet. It's just amazing how being able to compare rates has driven rates down, especially for term insurance.

You said he was a minor, so shouldn't you say: "spotted the boy."

What did he do with the money? Buy an i-pod, a designer bag for his lady...? He certainly didn't borrow money for necessities.
Is it okay to defend oneself against a minor? What if you get attacked late at night by a tall 14-year-old, fight back and cause serious injury? Would the fact that the attacker was a minor be held against you?
I suppose the police would say you should try to escape or curl up into a ball and take a beating because one should never hit another person.

I keep wondering if I've flipped off my boss, neighbor, or father-in-law, etc.
Once, I was jaywalking and a car honked. I flew the bird without even looking at the car. He pulled over ahead of me and said hello. It was one of my students.
Regarding crossing center lines, you will see in American newspapers, in the matter of record section, people being fined for crossing center lines.
Anyway, back to the topic, instead of the police, why don't everyday citizens just stick a golf club in the bicycle spokes if someone's talking on a cell phone?
A comma after "Japan" in line 9 would have been nice. , "Even after decades in Japan, I keep ..."
I guess "anti-social" (bugging others) would have been a better choice than "asocial" (being absent?), but I'll have to check

For God's sake, don't do it. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. The muslims won't be satisfied until Israel is driven into the sea.

I love it when my kids do something wrong, hear my footsteps and then put their hands up above their heads in blocking position. I did actually hit them a bit, but now I like tickling them.

It is not racist to say Japanese, or Asians, can't ride bicycles or drive cars properly. Just look at the traffic statistics.
Would it be ageist to say that 18-25 year-olds are bad drivers? No, because the statistics back it up. That's why their insurance rates are higher. Why does Vancouver have the highest car insurance rates in North America? Because the place is crawling with Chinese.
If there are any Asians reading now, tell me please, what is the purpose of the lines on the road?
