This is why as I said I kind of envy it the high school fights, because as you said there is no real threat of lethality. Before a fight can reach that point it will be broken up, or someone will run away. In the real world it is much much different. I for one would not want to go to a bar and get into a fight, I would get to find out what works and what doesn't, but the chance of real injury to not only myself, by my opponent, and anyone else standing around is far to great. Also in high school once the fight is over, it is usually over. In the real world, next time that guy sees you, he may have a gun.<p> </p><p style="text-align: right; margin-right: 60px; color: goldenrod;"><b>0% Abusive</b></p><p style="text-align: right; color: goldenrod; margin-top: -8px; margin-right: 62px; "><i>Auto-Published</i></p><div style="visibility: visible; text-align: right; margin-top: -53px; "><img height="50" width="50" src="http://morgothan.com/wp-content/plugins/julia-beta/images/julia_cautious.gif" /></div><!-- Touched by JuLiA --> Its true that the more lethal the fight, the less appealing it is.

I just can't seem to get my students to realize that fighting can end VERY poorly. In high school, no one really knows how to fight, but in the real world there are people who would demolish you. I typically think of one of my hothead students picking a fight with our former Judo sensai. They'd be lucky if they ended up in the emergency room.<p> </p><p style="text-align: right; margin-right: 60px; color: goldenrod;"><b>0% Abusive</b></p><p style="text-align: right; color: goldenrod; margin-top: -8px; margin-right: 62px; "><i>Held For Review</i></p><div style="visibility: visible; text-align: right; margin-top: -53px; "><img height="50" width="50" src="http://morgothan.com/wp-content/plugins/julia-beta/images/julia_cautious.gif" /></div><!-- Touched by JuLiA --> Fighting loses its appeal as the weapons used (human or otherwise) become more and more lethal.
