The bullet ant's sting is said to hurt as much as being shot. Your calling him a pussy after being bitten by hundreds of these ants. Why don't you shoot your feet with a shotgun a couple of times and see if you cry. This guy has more balls than you ever will for attempting this.

a ritual that proves you're a man gives you enough pain to weep like a little kid , it's stupid doesn't make sense since a man is supposed to be wise enough not to do this and the suffering that comes because you're an idiot is a deserved suffering !

Haha so it seems. But surely there's some type of preparation for that? I mean, Steve doesn't have to prove his worth to become a man or anything like the young boys do, so a lot of it could be psychological?

amazonian teenage boys it seems.

Seriously can't you tell the difference?? Getting shot in your hand destroys the tissue and bone. Getting stung by an ant might hurt similarily, but it is simply a nerve reaction to the toxins. Your response to the pain in that case, is a mental construction, not a reaction to actually damage to your body. To cry over that just highlights one a weak willed person.

Ritual purposes possibly?

'People' commenting on this how he's such a 'pussy' (what a creative insult, by the way) is just ridiculous.

[Heilic Chen]

No one admit that you were right. All he said was there was absolutely no point arguing with a narrow minded ignorant person like you.

Wanna get shot with bullets towards your hands for 10 minutes straight? I advise you to shut the fuck up.

Well said Mr. Morgan Freeman

[PineappleToaster]

Wow, this dude is tough as hell. Though with the amount of pain he must have been in, who wouldn't break down and cry?
