Have you ever beaten anyone up as an adult?

Never in my life have I been physically violent.

You know it's the oddest thing. I have been in the martial arts for many years, and a bouncer for a year . . . Never did I have to trade blows. I was always able to "reason" through any altercations using my words.

The only time I fought was in a controlled sparring environment, and even then it was always sport and learning, and not animosity or exerting any kind of superiority over another . . .

Yes I have AND I've had my butt kicked a time or two also.

If you consider 18 and older an adult, then Yes I have. Many times. Mostly when I was in the service. We were taught how to fight hand to hand and survive. Used those skills many times.

Nope! Though I have wanted to hit a few people and knock some sense into them.

I have had an adult beat up on me-but I don't hit back....

I wait until they're asleep and do what I need to do then :)

Lol

I'd rather not resort to a physical fight. If I can, I'll just walk away and forget about the whole thing. However, at this point in my life, a fight would most certainly mean hospital time for the other person.

I have not. I am a highly peaceful person and have never been in a fist-fight.
