unless they deserve it. I find nothing more awesome than someone who instigates a fight and promptly gets their ass handed to them.
not all fights are 2 gorillas beating their chest scenario...it only takes one gorilla.
women fighting is hilarious for sure, but some of them can really punch hard...trust me. it can hurt:p

Well, you're so much more sensitive and soulful than me so that's no surprise. When violence is devoid of any damage or harm it becomes slapstick, one of the most universal forms of humour.

violence is part of life. it always has been, and it will always be...might as well laugh. some knockouts are hilarious.

since when was your comment about violence devoid of damage or harm?
humor about the senselessness of violence is funny to me. which is a lot of slapstick (if not all of it). that's different than laughing at actual violence itself, which is what I am referring to.
For example, worldstarhiphop videos are not slapstick. That's just plain violence.

black people beating the out of each other for no reason is pretty hilarious if you ask me.

Probably the bit where I said:
quote:
If two girls are having a fight where real physical damage is being inflicted, it'll be broken up as quickly as possible
To repeat, when most girls fight there's no real physical damage at stake, it's mainly an emotional or symbolic event. Watching two people try to injure each other when they're incapable is pretty funny. Watching two people smash the out of each other isn't so funny. Some girls can do genuine damage, some guys can't. I think this is a combination of genetic and social factors - boys are genetically taller, heavier, carry more muscle mass and feel less pain, and as such are better equipped to inflict serious damage. At the same time, I grew up in a world where it was okay to punch a boy in the face if you had a problem, but not a girl.
Girl fights aren't marginalised because they're seen as feminine. If a girl gets knocked out stone cold by one blow from another girl, do you really think everyone stands around laughing because it's a feminine activity?

Oh yeah, definitely. I totally agree - a fight started by someone who can't fight is ing hilarious, and they deserve everything they get. But when someone who knows how to fight kicks the out of an incompetent victim, that's not so much fun.

that would be an assault and indeed not funny. I only believe it is a fight, if both sides consent and the unwritten rules are respected.
never hit a downed man
never jump in. 1 on 1 only.
when it is over it is over. the beef ends there win or lose.
I'm way too old to fight anymore, but I actually used to enjoy it quite a bit. The adrenaline rush is pretty neat. It may be viewed as stupid and childish to fight, but we are wired to do this when faced with confrontation. We are silverback gorillas with smartphones.
