[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.

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...

Sure, if you're confident you can land his rear end in the mud, so perhaps he'll be too embarrassed to come back, or so mad that if he does, you can predict his attack and again settle his hash.
