Another School Shooting

[Bengalzona]

I have probably taken more punches to the face than most of the people on the board here. The only things that I have ever learned from "taking a punch" is that:
1) I don't like getting punched in the face,
2) I had better duck more,
3) try to get the first punch in and make it a good one,
and
4) violence in any form is a really stupid way of resolving things.

There is no cause for a modern society to encourage its young people to fight each other. It does not "toughen them up" or "prepare" them for anything. Rather it creates physical, psychological and emotional traumas which are unseen. This is why the military services officially stopped permitting drill instructors to punch trainees in the basic training.

Sparta died centuries ago (which is a good thing because it's pretty whack when the only way you can convince your men to have sex with their wives is to dress the wives like young boys and have the man sneak up on them in the dark!)
