Maybe if the teachers are setting it all up, fighting will cease to be "cool" ??

Excerpt:

The Dallas school system was rocked by allegations Thursday that staff members at an inner-city high school made students settle their differences by fighting bare-knuckle brawls inside a steel cage.

The principal and other employees at South Oak Cliff High knew about the cage fights and allowed the practice to continue, according to a 2008 report by school system investigators.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Fights in my school usually consisted of 1 vs 2 or more guys. With the addition of knives, chains, bats, etc.

And it wouldn't end there. Even if there was a clear winner or loser, the same fight would happen again on another day.

At least this way it's fair and won't get dragged out.

I say well done to that school.

I have to agree. Before anyone gets on me about teaching the boys to settle their differences with words.... how often did that work for you when you were a teenager?

Although, to reduce the schools insurance, I would have made the kids wear gloves and groin protection. :2 cents:

Agreed. Better to arrange it than let it happen randomly. Prepare for it. Rest assured that it's over when the teacher says so. A good compromise between teenage chaos and order.

Every single fight in my high school went EXACTLY like this...

- Somebody starts talking shit, for whatever reason
- The other dude stares at him and says, "WHAT? WHAT?"
- The dude who started the fight responds with "DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING!"
- The other dude continues to stare and everything gets quiet
- Both dudes' group of friends start talking shit to eachother
- Some random person throws a punch
- Everybody backs away from eachother because they're pussies
- A small, skinny ass teacher comes in and intimidates everyone
- Everyone watching the "fight" laughs hysterically at how big of a pussy everyone is
- That night, everyone "involved" in the fight acts like they're the hardest dude in school, even though they didn't do shit
- I go home from school and masturbate to a Mandy Moore CD

That was so accurate, funny and eerie up until the Mandy Moore part. Then I threw in Britney Spears and .. um.. various other younger girls. HEY! DONT JUDGE ME! When I was a teenager I wanted to jack to other teenagers! If you're illegal you can whack to illegals! Mmmm... but we all grew up nicely. Then.. I lost interest in them and wanted their moms. LOLOLOL

...ehh.. sorta sad, I guess. I'm 26 but I dont date/fuck anything under 40 these days. Call me impatient but I just dont have time for childish bullshit, and chicks tend to hang onto their fantasies of a perfect guy, a perfect marriage.. UNTIL IT DOESNT HAPPEN and they realize they're never gonna get it. Thank G_d for reality. It kicks our dicks early and kicks their cunts waaaaaay too late.
