[OT] poll on inappropriate behavior
 

Kids these days are dumb and start their fights out with shoving matches, like some lame kind of foreplay to violence.

If a man is shoved, and responds by immediately punching his 'assailant' in the nose/face/jaw, could it be called a sucker-punch?

The shoving before a fight is not new. What a sudden unexpected punch is called is a matter of vocabulary. Most boys would consider it "unfair". Trust me. I would do it. You shove I punch.

A man has gotta do what a man has gotta do. Nuff said.

And where your asked why you did it later, answer simply by saying; "It seemed like a good idea at the time." And leave it to the lawyers and court to settle.

If it's not worth fighting over, just walk away. If it is worth fighting over, you should have already hit him.

The best punch is the first one.

What do you mean "sucker punch"? Is a "sucker punch" a good thing?

You shove me, I'll put three bullets in your chest and two in your face. Unless I'm not carrying a concealed pistol in which case I'll "sterilize" you and crush your throat (or rip it out with my teeth) and you can consider yourself lucky. :-)

hhhhokay...
gunplay...
yeah.

Look, I don't know how other people feel about that sort of thing, but I'm not using a gun unless I actually feel my life is threatened. Fights aren't life threatening, in fact they build character that I see lacking in a lot of today's young men.

".. a generation of men raised by women..."

I've been in my share of fracked-up situations. I've lost my share of blood and bragging rights. And I don't think pulling something metal out of your pocket is the best solution to the physical threat presented by one dumb punk putting his palms agaisnt your shoulders.

Is there any good reason to shove back? You KNOW this only would mean the other would start punching, so why not punch first? Shooting back after you have been shot dead is not a very realistic option... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
