Well clutch, I look at it different. In the old days, 2 guys get in a fight, they end up buying each other a beer and are usually friends then. Nowadays, with this gangster fuckin' macho thug tough guy thing going on, if someone swings at me over some bullshit, one of us (probably me!), is probably going to get hurt. Seriously. I'm not a badass. Far from it. I don't go looking for any trouble, any shit from anyone. But if it comes down to it, no such thing as a fair fight. Guy comes out of a car swinging at me, and trips and falls, I'm going to stomp him.
That sounds shitty. But, in my mind, if I attack someone (and I've never attacked anyone in 53 years) , and I trip and fall, I fully expect to get my ass stomped, wouldn't be surprised at all. If someone attacks me, and I get the chance, I believe they should he expecting the same.
There are no " friendly" fights any more.
