The counterargument is that it's a deterrent of more abhorrent violence (like high sticking) both as a pressure release (why cheap shot a guy when there's an outlet to settle it with a fight) and as retribution if you do the cheap thing. I am not sure how you prove or disprove it, but that's the argument the…

It's not about whether you're a real fan, it's about having played at a high enough level that fighting was legal. It's a very small subset of us. When you go out on the ice knowing you could get the shit kicked out of you, it takes a little edge off of your game. There's a documentary about playing the Flyers in…

(although you can argue moving some teams from the north to the south was basically doing that).

Didn't think I needed a disclaimer to share what I believe is common sense. Anyway, my point is that law enforcement and legal counsel disagree with you. You can "still say" whatever you want. I still say you wouldn't have the balls to actually do that (ask Travis what that's like) and that if you did you'd risk…

I keep trying to edit to fix "there" to "here" and it keeps refreshing the page instead. Kinja rules.

You've watched COPS, I have a law degree. Your analysis there is shit. He'd be a kidnapping victim. Seriously, just go ask a cop what you should do in this situation. No one would recommend you try to do anything unless you have a clear avenue of escape. They don't want you escalating things. EVER.

The police aren't counting on you to do anything. Quit telling yourself otherwise, unless you're Bruce Willis or something. And by that I mean a fictional character played by him, since he also is smart enough to know that the police handle police matters and don't want interference from citizens.

If you know any cops, ask one of them about this hypothetical. I think you'll be surprised how little interest they have in you playing hero.

If you haven't tried it, heat them in a toaster oven. I never liked reheated pizza until my wife did that.

I take it as, I was hoping to find a reason to leave him and luckily I did. Guessing she didn't see the cheating coming, but is happy that was the case.

But, if he's at a Yankee or Sox game, that's almost like a road jersey too.

If you elect bigots to represent you, you can't be surprised when people think that those bigots are representative of the broader population. It's sort of what represent means.

This deserves more love than it's getting.

Texas has removed critical thinking from statewide curriculums because it would teach children to question authority. Along with not teaching evolution, we're intentionally sabotaging the next generation of science and general problem solving in the name of making sure kids listen to authority and think what we want…

Exactly. The police always tell you to attack violent criminals when the police are already on the scene. Brilliant idea.

You seemed to have those just a little too ready...

I started to explain that this is the general rule, with some exceptions meant to make sure that people aren't taken advantage of, etc., since rules in society exist in order to resolve those places where my basic rights and your basic rights bump up against one another and need to be reconciled, but I think I'd…

timely too. not sure if that's intentional.

DIDN'T YOU SEE TAKEN?!1?

I bet you expect better than this out of a server at a restaurant, and they don't necessarily make $55 in a day (and certainly not for 3 hours of work).
