How much is too much,with the assault on the italian footballer yesterday how much verbal abuse would you take before you lost your cool or would you never resort to physical abuse and just keep quiet.
Or do we all have a breaking point.

I don't resort to violence unless physically attacked first. No matter how much verbal abuse there is, no matter how angry I get and no matter how much I would love to beat up people who go too far with verbal abuse, I don't resort to violence. I use verbal abuse back and if somebody else resorts to violence I don't hesitate to respond in the same way, but so far I've never lost control and been the one to start violence. I don't believe violence solves anything.

I try very hard not to start fights--my rule of thumb is that if the other person throws the first punch, then I'll finish it. The one time I almost threw the first punch was when some sorry excuse for a human being called me a weak and frail woman. I walked away, but I was seething--and only left after I'd verbally destroyed him to the point that he was curled up in a little ball!

I would not resort to violence but i would make my feelings known. There is only so much abuse a person can take.

I must be one of the few people in the UK who can put up with anything, I have only blown my top once, and that was a long time ago.
The person in question had to go to hospital to have his nose but back to normal, i mean he pushed so much I saw red and that was it, a 5 foot guy putting down a 6foot 2 guy, like he was nothing
Funny thing is though, hes now one of my best friends

'sticks and stones...', what I got taught as a kid. Seems to work if you keep that in mind. Having said that, I've never been subjected to a tyrade of sustained verbal abuse. But unlikely to make much difference as I abhor violence.

i would take unlimited verbal abuse and never resort to violence i would only resort to violence if i was being attacked and then it would be minimal for my own protection i know this from personal experience unfortunatly because of my size and build when i hit people they get badly hurt

I would try to de-fuse the situation, by listening patiently to the other person and showing that I understand their point of view. It's probably different for an athlete. They sometimes do 'trash-talk' each other and when the adrenaline is pumping it can be hard to let it roll off your shoulders.

I think there is never a solution to voilence. The provocative nature of abuses can be dealt depending on the situation. One doesn't have to be personally involved.

I usually just laugh. Small minds use verbal abuse to make themselves feel "bigger" usally their life is miserable and they suffer in the life they deserve.
