Fighting

I think that you seriously gotta think before you go getting into fights these days, people are more apt to press charges against you and if your convicted of something like that, it looks really terrible at a job interview, you know they are gonna ask you about it. Ive been lucky nothing like that has ever happend to me, but point being, noone wants to hire a trouble maker wheather you started the fight or not.

Well "real men" wouldn't fight to begin with! Whats wrong with just walking away.. why does everyone think thats so.. weak!?

Some good points made by several.
One thing to remember. Like mega said. Whether your fault or not. Come job time. If charges are pressed. Well can look bad.
And one other thing. You use any type of weapon in a fight. It can be considered a felony. Ball bat, 2x4, anything that could be considered lethal or have the ability, to do deadly or bodily harm.
A person who is skilled in boxing or martial arts, and they use their skills, outside of what is considered reasonable force, they can be held accountable as knowing better and the crime a lot more serious. Doesn't even have to be your fault.
Best thing to do is try to avoid it. And if you can't.
Use common sense. Today as was seen with the gun being fired at Norton Elementary school in the parking lot. You never know what the other person may have. You pull a bat. They may pull a 357.
Who wins? Likely neither person.
And if you do have to use any force required. You better be able to prove your life was in danger. And you were in fear of losing your life. Once you land that blow that may end a life with a weapon of any kind.
You kill the other person or mess them up for life, you have just become liable, a person who if found not fighting for their life, guilty of manslaughter or possibly murder, or a felony for malicious wounding.
Sometimes better to think than just react.
