Description
EDIT: Added wayyy more to the description. Might add more later.EDIT 2: I'm referring to things that are easy to control, guys. I know that biologically, when someone gets pissed enough, they literally "lose control" sometimes, but even that can be practiced. Yes, it's difficult, but if you wanna get through life, /practice/. I'm talking more along the lines of common sense.
You have to wonder where the line is crossed with some people.
This refers to cases with a lot of people in a lot of situations, whether it's sex, lashing out in arguments, attacking people for stating their opinions (Which isn't the same as disagreeing with their opinion), etc.
In regards to sex: As strong as hormones get, you still have self control. Yeah. It's there.
Is your boyfriend/girlfriend pressuring you ?
Grow a pair and stand your ground instead of caving, dammit. If they won't respect you for wanting to wait, then they aren't fucking worth it.
In regards to lashing out/snapping in arguments: If you had a bad day, there's less patience, sure, but there still should be that little thing called a CONSCIENCE in your head that's telling you something your doing isn't great. Listen to it.
Losing your temper in your argument is the quickest way to losing an argument, so keep your self control in check.
In regards to attacking people for having different opinions: Like I said, disagreeing with someone's opinion is one thing; attacking/flaming them is another. Try saying "I disagree, and here's why... [insert that here]", instead of "YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID AND U SHUD DIE FOR LIEKING [idk]!!!1!", you close-minded jackass. |:
In regards to ANYTHING ELSE: Seriously. Stop bullshitting and saying "I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF". Yes. Yes you can. Self control is one of the key elements to getting through LIFE. So if you can't handle that, you better learn quick.
HAVE YOU NO CONTROL ?

It's makes me glad when I see such logic, intelligence, and common sense out and about. The internet seems to be lacking in that these days, isn't it?

I have anger issues. I know it's no excuse, but it's a problem, and I've lashed out a few times in the past...regrettably.

THANK YOU good ma'am.
In regards to sex, I just hate it when people go like "Abstinence won't work, because Teenagers go crazy on hormones". Im a teen myself and many things change, but that doesn't mean I want to screw everything with a dick. Some people can control themselves! Some people prefer to get an education for a good career first, instead of risking to spend money for an (unwanted) baby.
Somebody deserved a watch.

You can have sex and still get an education

Yes, really! We're human beings for God's sake, can we stop acting like a bunch of wild animals? (Nobody bring evolution into this, I'm not talking about that).
I'm a teen myself, and funny thing, I've tried abstinence from the get-go, and hey guess what? Not pregnant!

I think I'm pretty good at controlling myself. There are certain things that set me off, though, of course. Everyone has their triggers.
Usually, if it's on the Internet, I can control myself. Simply because I have more control with what I type than what I say out loud.
Though things like discrimination and bigotry, It's beyond difficult to restrain myself.
Although, it depends on how the subject is approached.
For example: Homosexuality. One of the most touchy subjects.
If they simple say that they don't agree with the life-style, then I just don't say anything.
Unlike people who are all "GRAWW YER A FUCKIN HOMOPHOBE FDHSIUFDHIU".
But if they flat out say something like "I hate gays, they should all die and go to hell." then we're gonna have problems.
So, for me, it depends.
Do I have self-control? Yes indeed.
Is it tough to actually control myself sometimes? Yes indeed.

i dated a guy that always used the excuse "i'm sorry, i just get out of control when i'm angry" or "sometimes, i can't control it" (sexually). TOTAL bullshit.
this stamp makes me happy.. i just wish all those idiots out there, making excuses, could see it, and could see just how pissed off us LOGICAL people get when they start BSing to wiggle their way out of being in trouble.

I relly hate when people online start flaming people or thowing fits n go like "i haz a temper i couldn't controll myself" or "people loze there cool all teh timez"
Well all u lulzcows online listen up. The difference between real life n the internet is that u have time on the internet to cool down n be civil instead of lashing out automatically, as in real life u don't, but even when u have mere seconds to respond u can still control urself while facing a someone in person. If people can handle themselves properly in real life, u can handle urself online where u have all the time in the world to respond to someone.

oh man. thank you for making this.
I actually have to use self control alot... specially when I was driving today, this idiot drove in front of me, stopped on the breaks abrubtly, and gave me the finger.
I was driving one of those huge van/suburban things; he was driving a super small car. I could have slammed into him and NOTHING would have happened to me. albeit maybe court stuff... but thats what self control prevented.
I just dont think idiots really realize what they do is reallllyy stupid. :I

I don't think too many people on the internet even know what that is.
Personally, i think people just need to learn when to shut the fuck up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably not. From the looks of it, I wouldn't be surprised.
They need to learn that there's a time and place for everything.

Humans are animals.
But Humans are the most ADVANCED animals on the planet, so act like it.

AH, right, that's what I meant. Agreed.

self-control is an unnatural, difficult thing to accomplish. that's why its a probable excuse in many cases, although in others, it can hurt. really, sometimes people DO just lose control. it happens.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's difficult, but we're human, not animals. We're capable of accomplishing these things.
If nobody used self control, the word "civil" would become extinct.

I was fairly violent when I was younger, but luckily I did discover self control after awhile {Mostly because I shoved my brother into a pile of broken glass x.x}
I just take out any anger on my games, which tend to be violent. It seems to redirect any harsh feelings quite well :3

I'm glad you discovered self-control. But damn. I hope your brother's okay.
That's good that you learned how to redirect your anger !

Actually, it's been scientifically proven over, and over again, where, when you get so angry that you are unable to control yourself. For a few moments, you are mentally insane, driven by complete anger and you can't control yourself.
The frontal-lobes of your brain are the 'breaks' to your emotions. So that this doesn't happen. Though, someone can be filled with such anger, that it takes control of it and you are unable to control what you are doing. This doesn't happen every other week, it's still real and it still happens.
There have been a handful of murder trails where the court decided it was not the defendant's fault, for they were driven by anger--literally.
But, I still agree. If someone can use their self-control: They need to.

What I mean in your stamp is basically your last statement. When you ARE able to control yourself, take advantage of that. I'm glad you agree.

Agreed. This includes buying shit that we don't need and can't afford. (The credit card companies exist for this reason: we gotta have things NOW! Then they tack on interest so you end up paying $500 for a $400 purchase. But I digress) I had on TWO occasions the chance to get a new WACOM tablet. On sale. Good ones. But both times, sad as I felt about it, I walked out of the store without one. That's a little bit of self control. (I could afford it, but I don't NEED one. Until mine shits the bed, so to speak) So I hear ya. (Sorry if this got off topic.

You didn't get off topic. It still had to do with self-control. I also have a spending issue; when I'm given some money and end up in a store where I love EVERYTHING, it burns off way faster than I planned. ;; It really sucks. So I definitely understand.

Kinda hard to say, since it's a physical addiction. It would be good to control that addiction early on, but it's probably harder to do later on.

:I Thank you. It's not an excuse at all. In most cases anyways.

I have self control... sometimes I have nearly punched people, or thrown stuff at them, but I always stop at the last minute. Also, instead of bottling anger up I find that i'm starting to lear to just let it go... not let people get away with things, but it's bothering me less and less. Whereas once someone giving me the finger might have once made me want to go and beat them up, now I just don't really care... i'd just give them the finger back and walk off...

I'm glad you managed to not hurt anybody. At least as far as I know.
Though also, if you're mad at someone, maybe just tell them straight-up (and civilly) that they pissed you off ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, when I get into arguments or verbal confrontations, i have quick wits and a sharp tongue, and end up saying things I really regret.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know how that is. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The thing is, it's just easier to walk away...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I have it.
People say it's bad that I bottle up my anger... buut I tather bottle it up than go to an asylum or jail for the things I might do if I get angry.
As for the sex or drugs or whatever else... I never had an interest in them.

That whole thing with "getting your anger out" is bullshit, unfortunately. When ever you act out, you are more likely to not only do it the next time you get upset, but also the intensity of acting out. I think the only thing you can do about that is talking about it or trying to avoid the problem from happening at all. I'm kinda stuck in that situation. Stupid anger. Working faster than my mind can even think
