I guess for this story I need to tell you about my Wife. She has brown hair, brown eyes, barely comes up to my chin, and weighs in around hundred-nothing. But she is very energetic, out going, and stubborn. She is like my rose, she is beautiful to behold, but comes complete with sharp thorns. All in all very frail, though she wouldn’t let any one believe it to be true.
Anyway, this past week, we went to VA. While there, we decided to visit Kings Dominion (an amusement park). Though we both enjoy rollercoaster and other rides, the one thing we can’t stand are “Line-Jumpers.â€

Gang Fight, barely avoided.
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Heh, I hate to admit it, but that sounds like something i would do. @_@ Maybe. If I was having a really terrible day and needed to blow up at someone.
Anyway, maybe if you go on the kidie rides you won't have as much to worry about? 0.0;;;

That's a great story. It's pretty hilarious in retrospect, but I know I wouldn't be saying that if you had gotten into a fight. I never cared enough about one spot in line to ever say something in a situation like that, but I'm about as passive (er, um, easy-going) as they come. 
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.

You wouldnt believe it, even on the bumper cars, there was a mob of little kids out to get me!!!!! I felt like I was being chased by the paper boys in the movie, "Better off dead."
Looking back at it all, it does seam pretty funny now.

Dont worry JediSonic, I'll be at Disney World and will harrass you.
lol kidding
I tend to be quiet and ignore I guy whoose ticked off at me. Like for instance some guy at school got made at me cause I accidently knocked off his book from his desk.
I said I was sorry and picked up his books. The teacher wasn't there so he proceeded to yell at me and get in my face. I just pretty much stood there, stared blankly into space. That got him even more mad but his friend stopped him from beating me up (though I'm not saying he could....i'm a fairly good fighter).

The funny thing about kids like that is that they're only really tough in groups. Without the support of their peers they're like loud-mouthed little kids. It is unpleasant to have to fight them, though.
Jedi, what level is a camo belt?

Unless you are REALLY skilled in the martial arts, it's best to keep your mouth shut in situations like that. You're lucky they didn't do anything at all to you.
On another topic altogether, that's one heck of a wife you've got there.

Ah, scary. Man, your wife has guts.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Lol, something like that happened to me once, except I was the one yelling at the kids and it was the lunch line of our cafeteria. 3 burly looking football players stood in to back up the guy. I knew i couldn't take them all on, but luckily there was an administrator near by to stop them before it got bad.

I think there is some kind of automated que-line software thingy where if you pay for the service, you can simply slip your card in a machine and it'll give you the earliest available slot and tell you when to come back to the ride 
I thing we got to do that.. I sure hope so since most of the ride waiting times are more than 30 minutes

Yah, there is. Its called...well, I guess I cant remember. 
But it does basicaly what you are saying. The Idea is, you first run around to all the rides you want to go on, get your tickets for when you can "skip" the line. Then just start going to each one as it comes up. Theoreticaly you shouldnt have to wait in many lines, as long as you picked severl rides to go on.
What was the name of that thing......
"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."

I've been in a few fights in my life (friendly sparring and unfriendly confrontation), so I know that I can handle myself if there was a fight. I would actually be more willing to stand up in an amusement park, because they have metal detectors at the gates; in other words, you know that the other person won't be carrying any weapons. 
That is the major thing to worry about: a black belt and a chump both die the same way if they're shot.
Whether or not I would fight in that situation would depend on a number of factors. I often get sick from people smoking at amusement parks, so I might back down for that reason. If I was in a bad mood, I would be less likely to yield. Of course if I had a wife, I would certainly protect her.
Coming from a small town, it often seems like cities, amusement parks, etc. are gathering places for the scum of the earth. I wonder why I keep going to them...
At Disney, it is called Fast Pass. At other places, it may be called Speed Pass, EZ Pass, or any number of things; but the basic idea remains the same. It is a good idea to get them, especially for the really popular rides (even more so at Disney, since it is so big).

I couldn't help but think of the following verses as I read your story:
Luke 6:27-31
27 "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. 31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
I can completely understand why that is irritating, though. If I'm in a bad mood, I could easily imagine myself doing the same thing as well.
If I saw them following me around, I would make sure to get to the nearest security guard and explain the situation.
