Regarding being soft spoken, in a past job, I would frequently work with mentally ill people who were often angry and in order to do my job, I'd have to defuse the situation. One thing I would do would be to speak at just under a normal tone of voice. The tendency is, as someone else raises their voice, you raise your own in order to be heard. This often makes things worse. Yelling, "Calm Down!!!" at someone will likely have the opposite affect.

Not exactly a self defense situation, although I guess if it got too out of control it could have become one, but the idea is the same.

I just had a thought after going over my risk of burglary.

Don't I get some type of decrease in my point level, since I don't have anything of value for them to steal? That should make it at least a -20.

People always yell calm down don't they when situations are heated and it never works!
My instructor when someone is giving him verbal will pretend to be deaf and keep saying sorry mate can't hear you, while edging closer to the person who in turn is shouting louder and coming closer to my instructor who head butts and drops him. You don't want to know what he does next but he does put him in the recovery position afterwards, we've all been taught that.

A little respect goes a long way.

Brits and headbutts. What's up with that? It seems to be a much more common tactic in the UK than anywhere else I've heard of!

If you're dumb enough to get in someone's face then you deserve a broken nose. LOL

Go Brits!

I don't get in anyone's face. That's why I have a negative rating for being beaten!

Yeah, but it makes your beating score go up because they're pissed that they wasted their time with you.

 

[Flea]

Not only that, but living in a poor neighborhood would drive your score up too for all the other sociological baggage poverty brings with it.

Isn't it obvious? (Being Aussie, can't help but to have a little niggle.)
