Who said I was being funny?

All jokes aside, I grew up in projects, ghettos, reservations, all sorts of places unfit for human beings to live, yet they do. Do you really think I would be typing here today had I chose to be gentle? The only person looking out for me up to this point has been me. And that has meant fighting dirty. Not all of us are so fortunate to have civilized upbringings. Not all of us have loving fathers and mothers. Not all of us have spent our childhoods sheltered and nurtured. This is no slight on anybody here, just a sad statement on how life is. I can't say I am proud of everything I have done, but I can say I am still here.

As it's been said already so very well, the only time you find "fair" and "fight" together is in a dictionary.
