Better to die on one's feet than live on one's knees.
Figuratively and literally.

This is news? I’ve been reading about this phenomenon for something like 30 years, and it was covered pretty well in “Outliers”.

They also build nations, win wars and create a culture that makes things, instead of one that lays back and takes them.

Yeah, but this time it was probably paid for by shovel ready money.
Cowards die a thousand times.

Good point. I was thinking more along the lines of that clown who somehow crashed his 4x4 onto the roof of his house.

Remembering the old Richard Pryor routine:
“I’m MACHO MAN....I’ll take that knife and shove it up your a$$.”
You’ll go very quickly from “Macho Man” to “Dead Person.”

So Alexander and MSNBC want everyone to be a Mr Sissypants like their boys Hussein 0bama and Chrissy Matthews? Hell no! I rather be a REAL man and die young, than to be a coward and live forever!

The three authors, all from the University of Oklahoma, found that states with a culture of honor - in the South, and the West, mainly — also have higher rates of accidental death for white males
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why is this honor culture limited to white males?

Well nobody at MSNBC has ever been accoused of defense of masculine reputation.

Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
This can be found way back in human history. It can also be found among the Muzzies, and during WWII it was a huge impediment to the Japanese armed forces.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

True. I’m pretty sure that Black and Hispanic cultures also have the honor thing going for them.

Why is this honor culture limited to white males? Some Asian cultures too.

At least “macho guys” have something worth living, fighting, and, if necessary, dying for.

I suspect there’s a liberal feminyst movement to equate “macho” with “stupid”.

Macho guys more likely to get killed Without jumping into a discussion of "alpha" vs "beta" males, I'd like to point out that those so-called "macho" males also are probably far more likely to pass along their genetic material.
Even if some beta chump gets to raise the offspring.
