CMV: We should not only allow but also encourage our boys to fight.

And the way to solve that violence when it actually matters is with a gun. If a gun wasn’t required then there were other options. For kids that’s called raising them to not be crap and punishing the crap out of them when they do.

It sounds more like the issue is things got worse because the kid violated the absurd fighting code the other kids had. They were picked on for having no interest in fighting. It also sounds like the teachers failed. Kid would’ve been if that stupid fight mentality wasn’t there. It also demonstrates a failing of that supposed code. The kid doesn’t want to fight and no one with that supposed honor code stepped in for 2 yrs? Sounds like that code the kids in your school had was crap and that it was just an excuse by school yard bullies to justify their behavior to themselves.

Your arguments sound like you just think men can’t control themselves or that you are trying to justify your actions as a child.
