I agree it's not cool, but I'm too libertarian to say it should be illegal. If someone wants to do it, they should be allowed, imho. Certainly explains quite a bit about some of your views (particularly on that old vaccines thread last month or so.)
Yes sir!

Good point. A settlement would be the best way for that to resolve. I can’t see a good outcome (for anyone, really) coming out of a proper trial in such a case. The school board will likely not have enough money to get a decent defense team and the plaintiffs wouldn’t likely get much.

That's feeding the inner killer ape in us. Just me ...carry on.

Yes. For some its a way out. A person who enjoys fighting, has a place for it. Its far better than fighting on the streets with people who want no part of it. Imagine what would've become of a Mike Tyson or George Foreman if boxing never existed. In some gyms they train kids and teens for free. A lot of these kids are inner city kids looking for a way out. Boxing and martial arts installs discipline and confidence which can be carried in other areas of life. It keeps them away from gang activities and drugs.

You know, inflicting torture is more fun than watching it.
Hands on is way better.
So I'm told...
What??

Just listened to this audio book over the past week while doing chores. It was very interesting:
