Anyway, being an older brother, it's just humor. Don't acknowledge what he did, don't so much as look at him funny when he does it, or he WILL do it again. If you don't respond, he won't do it again. If you want to hit him, just hit him in the solar-plexus (the area right between the chest muscles and down. feel down the center of your ribcage, and where it starts to split, the soft flesh below is the solar-plexus). It'll knock the wind out of ANYBODY, guaranteed.

find something worse than pain, emotionally scar him forever, sink to the lowest depths of cruelty, look around, and realize your genetic heritage, hear that voice in the back of your head that says "I can do better" then, do it

you know your brother and his tolerances, use that

also, baking a cake with laxative chocolate and make sure he gets to it <make sure he doesn't know it's from you, and make sure no one else gets to it, but make sure he gets to it>

Bloody hell.  Look, starting a war with family only ends up in both people getting ****ed up, and a home full of animosity.  Yeah, your twin brothers are immature dicks by sounds of it, but why stoop to their level?  All this stuff about 'scarring' them, humiliating them, etc, it always ends in tears - I've went through the whole 'big brother is a dick' thing (albeit sorted out well before he was 21), and it's just not the right tactic.

I would usually stay out of this as well, but for some reason I feel like responding.

First, let me express my condolences. Having been treated in such a way myself, it is understandable that you would feel such anger. It really hurts to be treated sub-human.

But remember this: if you seek revenge (especially if you stoop to his level), your brother will only use that as justification for treating you that way. You may feel a momentary rush, but it will make the problem worse. If he is not going to be mature and considerate of you, you must be for yourself. Although he does such things without provocation, do not allow yourself to get sucked into the trap of wronging yourself by providing him with fuel for his fire, so to speak.

Your brother's life is his, and it sounds like he is wasting it. In doing so, he hurts you. But the biggest risk here is not the hurt he causes you, but the temptation you might succumb to by allowing yourself to respond to him as he responds to you, which is something you find unacceptable. When we do what we find unacceptable, we violate ourselves and it extracts a high price. We slowly become something we do not want to be.

It may be hard to see it, but underneath your brother's poor actions is pain. Certainly, it is at least partially pain that he is causing himself, and it will certainly catch up with him. There is a part of him, I am absolutely certain, that feels bad about what he does to you. So, in his mind, he has to "villainize" you to justify to himself in doing what he is doing. He will do this plenty on his own, but he will be hypervigilant to find anything you do that would act as justification.

You cannot control him. You have tried, and it sounds like the more you try, the worse he gets (as is often the case). I believe that part of your solution will be to give up trying to control him. It is amazing to me how often, when we give up trying to change and control other people, they can become less obnoxious and harmful because they feel a decreased need to assert their autonomy against us.

So, while what he does is not your fault, the mature question you need to ask yourself is, "Is there any way, even a small way, in which I am contributing to this problem?" You do not cause his abuse, to be sure, but all you can control here is yourself. Find out what you contribute, and you find out the real realm in which you have power to try to prevent it.

Outside of that realm, what you can do is set up boundaries. Fill your life with other things, and find safe places you can be. As your parents for their help in providing you with times and spaces where you will have some repreive. Find people who are supportive and positive, and spend time with them. Find things you enjoy doing, and spend time doing them. Find things that bring meaning to your life, and spend time doing them. Find things you can do and ways of being that make you feel good about the kind of person you are being, and do them.
What we perceive is more a reflection of ourselves than of our environment.

okay, I'm definitly going to say my family is different, so results may, and probably will vary

but wars are bonding experiences for us

we're messed up folk, but, don't just assume that bringing ut the big guns is going to cause bad

edit: also making someone capable of thinking quickly and being able to defend themself emotionally is a valuable skill, the parry riposte of emotion is an incredibly valuable skill and WILL be used at some point in each of our lives, allowing oneself to be disarmed by an unexpected attack from an unexpected sector is not an acceptable means by which to fail in my opinion

You're a classic closet gay, but won't consciously realize this until your in your 30's and just sucked your first C**K."

"Like I said it's just a theory, I'm not a professional or anything so you might want to think about some psychological counciling about gender identity issues. Oh and it might be a good idea to bring your boy--I mean friend with you."

There's a huge difference between defending yourself from the odd snipe and turning your familial life into an all-out war, in my opinion.

What's wrong with being gay anyway. I would be hip and trendy if I were gay.

He could use his brother's homophobia as a way to intimidate him. Maybe reply something like "That's right ducky, so you'd better sleep on your back."?

Your brother is a ****ing asshole.

I can't believe your parents let a 21 year old unemployed waste case live at home. That's the root of your problem and there's really nothing you can do but move out. Too bad you have to wait another year.

Letting him know he's getting on your nerves only makes it worse. There's probably a way to get him thrown in jail, but then your dad will have to bail the loser out. One way that comes to mind is to wait till he's been drinking and he drives somewhere, then report the car stolen. Oops.

  
Stolen by out-of-town arms dealers, yes...
