(175 posts)You obviously have never been in a violent encounter and you should be glad. They aren't fun. But it would be great if you didn't throw uninformed opinions around in a thread where you had no personal or practical experience. Cocked haymakers at a head pose no immediate danger, and buses going 5mph explode when they hit a parked car.
Its an excellent debating tactic to pick apart word choice such as thug, and street fight and not actually address any pertinent point I brought up. Its ok, other posters who read this thread will notice your obvious dodges.
Because street fight only refers to fights that happen on a street, that's not a descriptive word to illustrate the lack of rules, or the danger. A street fight and an organized fight (boxing, MMA) are two completely different beasts. I've been in both types of fights and let me tell you an organized fight is a breeze compared to a street fight even if the opponent is better trained in the organized fight simply because there are no rules and you have no idea of the intension of a person in a street fight (or should I have said bus fight)!
What is thug insensitive to criminals now? Should I use law abiding challenged individuals? Would that make you feel better? I'll never understand people who get upset when a law abiding person defends themselves from criminals that violently attack them.
