Is Fight Club 2 coming out soon? haha Matt, I love you, bro. And, I don't know your friend at all. But, when i read an article or hear statements like this i think they are sad and silly, and a couple of thoughts come to mind . . . like the adage that little dogs make a lot of noise, but big dogs don't cuz they don't have too. people who would glamorize or romanticize violence likely have never truly experienced it and don't truly understand or appreciate it. getting hit in the face at fight club isn't real violence. over the past 10 years a lot of men and women have experienced it in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have seen women who are better soldiers than a lot of dudes. and, i would rather them be in a foxhole with me. many of the greatest warriors in history were also the greatest advocates for peace b/c they understood how horrific war really is. violence is a constant in this "brutish" life. we all experience it. no reason to seek it out. some of the greatest men in history eschewed violence, jesus, ghandi, MLK, etc. they accomplished great things with an open hand. i like denis leary cuz he is down with satire. real men NEVER bully anyone. they stand up to bullies on behalf of others. yada yada yada i think it is important to be tough and stand up for what you believe in. I have been in fights and been hit in the face. I played football through college. I have deployed to Iraq and AFG. I quote "Conan the Barbarian. But, fights still scare me. ------------- |

Mike, I don't see where the spirit of the article is much different from what you posted, and I certainly didn't feel that the author was glorifying war. In fact, the three paragraphs below, which I felt were the crux of the author's argument, seem to fall right in line with your last couple of statements.
It sounds like our view on this sort of thing is very similar. I have zero tolerance for chest-thumping douche bags and loud mouth jerks. An expression comes to mind when it comes to things like this: "Old money never talks about it's wealth." The toughest men I know are also the most humble, and the real tough guys -- the real men -- never have to say a word about what they are. ------------- |
