I Think It Is Time We Got Involved.

We did not need fist fights. And, of course, never had guns. But then I grew up where virtually everyone went to college or something equivalent.

Closest we came to a fight was a football game where refs completely lost control. Made numerous bogus calls on both sides. It was the only game we lost. The coach ordered everyone to immediately sit on the bench so that no 'after game' confrontation could happen. Another reason why no one did something only lesser people do - fist fights. 'Powers that be' averted such low intelligence silliness before it could happen by using a fundamental management concept called "attitude and knowledge".

Unfortunately many go on as adults using same low life concepts; to advocate military actions as a solution for everything. Or need big guns because of threats that only exist in their fears.

Those fist fights illustrate people worried about being dissed (their ego) rather then dealing facts and reality. The most responsible also ask "what does he see; why is he angry." Then fists and guns become unnecessary.
