Fist Fights Are Stupid
Written on Sept 21


I can't believe that human beings still get into fights over meaningless altercations. It's ironic that we consider ourselves such an evolved species, yet we can't settle our differences in non-violent ways. We'd rather just pound on each other's faces to solve problems (which really doesn't solve anything, it only prolongs and intensifies problems further).

Other than releasing built-up aggression, fighting solves absolutely nothing. I'd even say that getting into physical confrontations with other people only adds more problems. I don't know how many times people have knocked each other out, than gotten totally pissed and retaliated by slashing tires, breaking windows, and destroying property in a meaningless attempt at revenge. All for what? To prove they are more dominant? Or maybe just for a temporary ego boost? It's all so trivial. AND IT'S ALL SO FUCKING STUPID!

People that constantly fight, or look for fights are merely insecure individuals devoid of any logical reasoning ability. I equate people who fight to primates. When primates can't reason with each other, they pound on one another until someone wins. I'm sure Neanderthals clubbed each other to death because of petty disputes (I base that contention on nothing, but I'm probably right). So as such an "evolved human species", why can't we settle our squabbles in a more peaceful manner than resorting to techniques used by extinct man and hairy, less intelligent primates?

Kids often fight each other on the playground for stupid reasons. But kids are young and they don't know any better. What excuse do teenagers and adults have? They know the difference between right and wrong and have developed enough common sense by now. I can't help but analogize adults fighting and bickering about trivial topics to little kids fighting on the playground during recess or after school.

I know of people that will fight other people (no matter who it is) just for looking at them. I can't believe that someone is willing to risk jail time, money, and personal injury to inflict pain on someone because they glanced in their direction! Attention: Gorillas get angry when humans stare at them. Other humans should not.

Even though my CAPITAL LETTERS would lead you to believe I'm implying frustration, which I am, I would never act on it. As easy as it is to go open up a can of whoop ass on grandma for cutting me off, or my boss for being an inconsiderate prick, or my neighbors for mad-dogging me, I won't do shit because violence solves nothing. It just causes more problems. So I'll just write about them instead. :)
