And because we don’t let kids fight, kids today don’t know how to fight. Seriously. There was a concept of the “honorable fight” back when I was a kid. You beat the crap out of each other, there was a winner and loser, and the issue was settled.
Today, the kids either don’t know when to quit, by repeatedly kicking someone in the head when they are down and the fight is over, or they go with the nuclear option and use a gun. Neither of those situations were even considered when I was growing up. And the outcomes today are tragic.
I know exactly what you mean. In the day there were unwritten rules about fighting just like there were unwritten rules how to treat a lady, all of which seems forgotten in our modern “progressive” society.
