I think you would be right not to respect me, I’m quite a shit person. Anyway, as we are commenting a post about a kids hockey game here, I think jumping to violence as a first corrective action is a bit much. I guess it’s impossible to say what age the players were in the anecdote for sure, so if they are something like sixteen or seventeen then go ahead, the jackass had his opportunities to learn civil behavior. The image in my mind was of something like 8 year olds, and even if I think the initiative to help is admirable even then, I really think we should try to raise our children to learn respect before resorting to violence. Or rather, in my stupid idealist mind I want to see people who don’t consider violence as a solution at all.

Makes me hate the world and hate myself, but it is what it is.

Fuck off. By this logic it’s ok for anyone to just walk around punching people that offend their moral views, sensible or not.

Weaker behavior? I do applaud the kid putting the aspiring frat bro in his place, but equating aggression with strength is bonkers. There are other, better ways for educating fools than a damn sucker punch.

How do you know how it feels to use imperial if you exclusively use metric? And daily!

I think the inch and foot are great lengths to use on a daily basis, they feel quite natural.

Well that would be because you use them on a daily basis. I find meters and centimeters perfectly natural too, and would be hard pressed to think of a situation where the scale of inches and feet would be strictly better.

How so? Could you point at a social behavior in another animal that you’d evaluate as arising from something other than nature? Not saying you’re wrong, just curious.
