I think most people know man has competed against other predators for thousands of years until extremely recently.
We would not be here had we not and the encouragement of such behavior is naturally a part of all our cultures.
Sure it is as impractical as the ceremonial sword of an officer yet I pity one who cannot see the reason for either- after consideration.
Well, none of my ancestors traveled halfway around the world so that they could pretend that they felt threatened by a "predator." When you're wondering why so many people think this kind of thing is weird, you're not getting the gratuitous part of it. To normal people, it seems gratuitous, pointless.
For some reason, this guy seems to have a need to try to trick other people into thinking that he engages in acts requiring personal courage when he's really just a pathetic fraud. How does someone get that screwed up in a dental office?
