Re: the school bus fight between the boys over a snack.. I fear this is not what most mothers and sadly too many fathers want to hear, but this is what has happened to our boys and the blatant feminizing of our boys in our culture.

It is true that fighting is not the first, or even the second response that boys should revert to when settling a dispute, but that is where we men learned our early lessons, that sometimes it isn't wise to mess with losers, or associate with bullies, or pay the consequences. Yes life has consequences, and early lessons that are essential, and today for a young boy it may be a punch in
the nose, because tomorrow it will be screwing around with drugs and sex.. YES, it can be that basic, early lessons are warning systems.. Fathers that are worth their salt are no longer around to set examples and teach their sons how to avoid bad decisions, or how to fight back, which is the best deterrence.

Judgment, or what we called commonsense is unfortunately lacking in this society, also, what happened to fighting back, this boy folded like an old deck of cards, and as such, he was victimized, I dare say something that he will regret or even more sad, learn to submit to throughout life. And finally, the aggressor will not be severely dealt with by any authorities, or even better for his own good, this boys friends, if he has any, as would have been the case in the recent past, which is another long gone life
experience, standing up for right and wrong, even if it means taking a licking for a friend..

Unlike girls, and it should stay this way, boys must get used to fighting for themselves, early in life with their fists, wits or feet, and later with their superior intellect or you'll get your asses kicked around until you quit, win or cheat.. sorry .. flame away
