The snow was coming down and neither the driver nor yours truly must have been paying attention.

    Nowadays people would do a flip-flop and collect thousands in insurance money. "My back! My back!"

    But there's no credit due to his guy, imo. He could have told his friends to mind their own business.
    I miss them dearly, Curt. I'm from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn and there was no crying to the cops about anything over there. If you mouthed off to someone, get ready to roll. This society today is made up of a bunch of pussies.

    When we were kids, if one of us was a smart ass to an adult, that guy may just walk up to the crowd and start swinging. Is that right? Of course not. But it taught you respect and/or speed.

    Made into , encouraged and allowed to become a bunch of pussies.So as much as we can sit and rant it is the generation that allowed it who are to blame.

    Don't get me started.

    But I don't want a new generation of kids ready to start swinging.

    What I'd like to see is more common sense and less litigation. Why can't people be civil yet direct and honest. Everyone gets butt-hurt immediately and refuses to have any kind of discussion about anything. Unbending one-sided annoyances.

    I have no idea what went on at that gym, but at least two people probably showed disrespect to each other and then others saw an opportunity to instigate or turn up the drama by calling the local police.

    We've all seen the screaming banshee type videos of drama on Facebook. Bunch of morons, all with their cellphones recording the drama, screaming for blood over some petty 'disrespect' and the moment it goes down (with the associated Adrenalin hit they all get) the screeching changes to a moan and you know half of them are thinking 'f****kkkk'. In the US and very much now in the UK the second thought (as in this case cos someone will think Evan has cash to spare) is 'compensation!'.

    Given I'm no light weight had Evan and I gone at it we'd have both ended up bruised and feeling moronically sorry. But whinging to the Police or thinking of getting a lawyer involved? Hell no. I'd be more likely to say 'well that was stupid' and hand him a share of the ice we'd both need to reduce the swelling lol

    Sad to see when a man cannot act like a man.

    Back in the day you did everything you could to keep the fuzz away and these morons actually seek them out for help.

    You're absolutely right. I'm a parent of two teenagers (one girl, one boy) and tried to raise them with a bit of the old school mentality. Don't start shit you can't finish, don't be a rat and don't let people dick you around.

    But there's a limit to that with this faggy day and age of 'social media justice.'
