One cause of fighting is Schools, they do absolutely nothing about bullying. They just have a little "word" with the bully and the bully won't care, which causes the victim having to stand up for himself and fight. Otherwise the bullying would not stop.

Alexyy wrote Going to media? you do realize that would do more harm than good and it would put a target on your back for the rest of the time you were in school.

If you're being bullied stand up to it, telling is pretty much a last resort.

That's a good point, if i was to go to the media that would haunt me all the way through school.

Alexyy wrote In a environment of teen's and idiots being in the right doesn't matter you'll be seen as a easy target to get attention from if you're willing to go to local media.

That is only after the school hasn't helped. And why would a bully victim care about being an easy target? They're already being bullied.
It's not like they'd go to the media and think, 'Oh great, now I'm going to get bullied after avoiding it for so long.'

Fighting is just a thing our generation enjoys now. I wouldn't say I like watching it, but I'm not against it. Sometimes talking doesn't get the point across. My schools policy on bullying is if you see someone getting bullied, step in and try to stop it, no matter what you have to do to stop it. They did this because they know getting yelled at or RPC'd for a few days isn't going to change anything.

Alexyy and Rax, I guess I'm not sure what I think about someone starting a fight with a bully, I'm on the fence about it.
I can see the practical gains, but I'm so against physical violence that I can't force myself to condone it.

The problem is, they'll become even more of an easy target, and the bullying will likely become worse.

I agree with what you're saying in terms of avoiding fighting at all costs, but sometimes you have to. When a bully terrorizes you for months or years, sometimes there is no other option but to fight.

Going to the media is an absolutely terrible idea. If someone were being bullied, and they honestly tried talking to the media, you can bet that more people will now actively bully that kid, and that kid will be forever known during his school years as a rat/snake/snitch (and some worse names which would get censored on this forum), and he/she would get bullied worse because of it.

I like to watch fights it's entertaining not only that but I like to be an instigator sometimes why? Because people nowadays are dumb enough to fight for whatever reason they pull out of their ass and it's funny it's their bodies they may or not know that their putting their life in danger but that's their problem not mine
I can feel the downvotes

I hate people who decide to record fights, other than it being idiotic, posting it online can lead to bullying, if people made fun of the person who lost the fight, that could ruin their life,or lead to suicidal thoughts.

But I believe that it helps some people to let their anger out, sometimes it good to release it, to be fair, some people do deserve a punch, maybe it will help them wise up. I hate it when fights are planned though, if someone done something to me that has mentally/physically hurt me, I would like to sort it out on the spot.

Those are two human beings who are hurting each other and your first reaction isn't to call the police, or call for help, isn't to try and break them up or restrain one of them, but is to pull out your phone, start recording and screaming, 'World Star!' at the top of your voice like it's some kind of game.

Human bodies aren't indestructible, we have major weaknesses and one stray punch in the wrong place can ruin someone's life.
If you don't think this is possible, a footballer missed a shot and head-butted one of the advertisements.
When he did this he compressed his spinal cord and severed it between the vertebrates, paralysing his entire body for the rest of his life.
Humans are immensely fragile and it's something we often forget, so if you see two people fighting you should do everything in your power to stop them.

I also hate people who fight, with a passion.

If you are so mind-numbingly thick that you can't sort out a problem with someone without resorting to punching them in the face then you deserve everything you get back.
I've just watched a video of two women fighting, and one of the women's children is stood right there watching.
Instead of acting like a grown woman and talking through her problems with the other woman, she starts telling her kid to punch the other woman in the face.

Maybe my standards are just too high, but I'm dumbfounded that we still live in societies where people conduct themselves in these ways.

Don't get me wrong, if someone punches you then you have every right to defend yourself, but if everyone simply aimed to never throw the first punch in a fight through their entire lives the world would be a much better place.
If you have exhausted every avenue of discussion with someone and are still getting nowhere, be the bigger person and walk away.

I can agree few of the things you say, but unfortunately I disagree with most of it.

For example: I can see why you hate people who record fights.

I wouldn't go as far as saying I HATE them but I do view it as both unnecessary and immature, plus the people involved in the fight could possibly end up irritated and/or humiliated by the person(s) recording the fight.

Almost everything I have to disagree with

For example: You hate people who fight?
Not everyone can stomach any form of violence, OK I get that.
But if 2 people who can, ARE DETERMINED to beat the shi^ out of the other. Then I see no problems with that.

If 2 of my friends where both wanting to fight the other then I would simply step aside and let them get it over with. (Fairly of course)

A fair fight (i.e no weapons) in a controlled environment; i.e Nobody will let the fight get out of hand such as letting one hit the other when he/she is down. Is morally OK in my books, it's only human nature after all and to put it bluntly; if 2 people WANT to fight one another, who are you to say it's not OK?

Obviously there are exceptions, I don't view it as morally OK if one does not want to fight, or they are not the type of person who can stomach violence. I believe I am a good person for the most part and I HATE bullies and liberty takers. However, if they have done something really bad against someone who doesn't associate themselves with the police then it could merit a beating as an alternative to criminal charges/jail time.

P.S Keep in mind, LOTS of places are very very different. Someone who was brought up in a rough area compared to someone who was brought up in a peaceful area are obviously going to see things differently, doesn't necessarily make one of them a bad person.

Both street fighting and the UFC are the most barbaric shit left in modern society.
I agree with you on people who record fights. Worldstar is a cancer to the internet.
