I'm afraid we have cultural differences.
Right, you were raised that way and so it is just fine with you, Q.E.D.

It is caused a cultural norm. Were you raised in a rural or urban environment? Have you ever been hunting? Have you ever been a knock down kick ass fight where it didn't matter if you won or loss? What matter was you stood your ground.

What makes your thoughts or beliefs on this matter correct?

IDK, PROGRESS?

Cultural norms are bullshit groupthink, proof of nothing. Slavery was a cultural norm.

The idea that might makes right is barbaric and sad. Would you apply that method between an 18 year old and a 70 year old? Would you apply it between an 18 year old in good condition and an 18 year old paraplegic? Would you apply it between a man and a woman? Well why not?

People who fight should be charged with crime and jailed. One can be hurt, paralyzed or killed in a fight. What more do you need to know? We're not fucking cavemen any more!

Well one of us isn't.

I went to a high school like what Sarge remembers. I think that mindset is still in play there as there was recently another gay teen suicide. There is nothing brave or romantic about teen violence.
