@eugene680 Not everybody is afraid of the law. I actually would have responded sooner, but I spent the last 3 months in jail. Not proud of it. Shit happens though. I don't assault people for no reason, but I do get into fights. Oh and if you plan on calling the cops when you get your ass beat, don't get into a fight. They're easy to avoid as I'm sure /\-this-/\ guy can tell you. Meditations On Violence by Rory Miller also explains quite well.

I have never been in a any kind of self defense or marital arts class and i already have a very calm mind when in sticky situations. i would never elevate a situation or i would never fight unless i was physically assaulted.

@LemonZeppelin Agreed! I remember Mr. Miyagi in the old "Karate Kid" films once telling Daniel, "Best defense is no be there when fight happens."

@MrRazbean This is one of those areas I think where intention is everything. If you want to better understand the message here, odds are good that you ultimately will. There's something in you that recognizes the truth of it already, or else the message wouldn't hold appeal.

Why get into real fights? You maybe good enough to win a real fight but you may not win your next fight, The law.

[MrRazbean]
