I usually just dismember them with a rusty chainsaw.

Well, politely refuse and close the door.

You gotta teach these people a lesson, or else they'll never learn.
I was doing this guy a favour.
Maybe one day he'll say "hey, that nice bearded gentleman who gave me a headbutt saved me. I don't believe in God anymore, I'm cured!".

If you had a beard on your head, you would have bounced off him.

Prince is a Jehovah's Witness and also a general loon. Imagine him going door to door.

Beards usually grow on the chin, not on the forehead, Romero...

Usually, people tend to headbutt with the forehead, as opposed to headbutting with the chin, or ear, nose....

...for quite obvious reasons btw.

I dont like religion, but I certainly wouldnt headbutt someone politely asking me to share their 'knowledge' with me. It's only about once or twice a year anyway, so those 10 seconds dont bother me that much.

Sure, they're bloody annoying, but they don't deserve to be violently assaulted. If you really had headbutted him, he'd have called the Police and you'd be arrested. So not good advice, Thomas. Just a firm 'not interested' will suffice.

@Mark:
I doubt he'll call the police.
But if he does, I'll tell them he was harassing me (which is 100% true).

I'm not worried at all.
The local policemen know me. They know I'm a bit touchy regarding certain things.

Next time stab him in the groin, if he is under gods watch you will be struck down.

So in other words he will die in front of you and god wont do shit.

Agreed but what did he do to be head butted? That seems OTT. Why not just yell at him and shut the door?

I'm surprised he's not got you arrested.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 17 Jul 2008, 18:33

I take it you take every word as real on the net then

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 17 Jul 2008, 20:03

Oh, I forgot:
There's a sign on my door that says "No advertising please."
So the guy knew what he was in for.

Brad wrote:Why not just yell at him and shut the door?

Was too sleepy to be thinking straight.
On a normal day, I'd have told him to get stuffed.

I do regret it, now. Honestly.
I've got a big orange bump on my forehead, just below the hairline.
Makes me look like a Halloween decoration.

On a related note ('No it isnt you dope!')...

Check out this review for the blu-ray of Behind the Yellow Line: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.ph ... how=review

... and ofcourse, in particular, this part:

It isn’t difficult to tell why Behind the Yellow Line became quite the success story in its native Hong Kong. Back in 1984 the then 20-year old Miss Hong Kong Pageant first runner-up Maggie Cheung was looking for a way to break into the film industry and at the time her sex appeal seemed like the perfect talent to have and with a bit of luck a less than extraordinary romantic story with enough predictable twists to make you dizzy proved to be the winning ticket. The rest of course is history - Maggie went on to marry her co-star Leslie Cheung and twenty years later won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Olivier Assayas’ Clean (2004).

Uhmmm....

Is wikipedia really that hard to look up stuff and check it, before you write it down!?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 17 Jul 2008, 21:01

Leslie almost married Teresa Mo before he turned gay, but Maggie Cheung?
I don't think there's ever been anything between them.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Jul 2008, 21:25

Is Behind The Yellow Line any good?

It's a pity the BD doesn't sound great but then who expects old HK films to ever look excellent? Most were kept in such poor conditions and filmed on cheap stock material.

Hang on! You're saying you actually did headbutt the guy for ringing your doorbell? I thought you were joking. Are you a complete psycho?

Classic

. For once I actually noticed Tom was being serious and no one else did.

@ Tom: Sorry you'll get no sympathy from me, it was definitely OTT to smack the guy. Agreed he had shouldn't have bothered you but violence was OTT.

You bother me and if you were on my door step i would step on your neck!!

FUD!! :twisted:

Hey, I'm not religious Tom but headbutting the guy was bang out of order!

He wasnt rude to you so calling him a motherf*cker is wrong too.
I went to my brothers graduation ceremony yesterday.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 18 Jul 2008, 13:05

Going from door to door to sell your religion IS rude.
If muslims started doing this in the west, they'd get shot in the face.
"-Salaam Alaikum, my friend. Have you found Allah yet?
-Honey, there's a terrorist at our door. Throw me the shotgun!"

So why is it okay for Jehovah's witnesses?

I already knew that but then you're an ignorant fuck, who thinks violence is the answer to everything. I already knew I bothered you, change the record. It's nothing new to anyone.

tom2681 wrote:Going from door to door to sell your religion IS rude.

True but you need to put it in perspective. Violence is over the top for the level of rudeness inflicted upon you.

Like I said you should've at most yelled at him and slammed the door in his face. If it were me I'd have gone straight to the police.

tom2681 wrote:If muslims started doing this in the west, they'd get shot in the face.

Only by people who should be in jail.

I once was approached by a Christian (possibly a Jehovah's Witness) and politely said I wasn't interested. They then politely walked away. Simple.

If your one was being awkard that would still be no reason to smack them. I'm not saying violence is never the answer but knocking on your door and bothering you isn't a good enough reason for it.

For once I agree with Brad.

...and he isnt even scottish, but FRENCH!

You'd expect a headbutt for a xmas present from Mark, as that's just what they do... but from a frenchie!?
