This is interesting and very thought provoking. It is a very deep and extremely serious subject. I can see both points of view. Cultural differences are something that is easy to overlook and easy to misunderstand.

 

The age of chivalry may not be dead, but it can be deadly.

 

 

Well, not anymore anyway, Angus has "dropped" it... so I guess its dropped.

 

 

 

I can see where he might see the need to defend his wife if the perps were doing something that made her feel like she was in danger....I just feel that it could have been handled differently. Im sure his wife is up crying every night wishing he would have just walked away with her.

I think I know what Angus is talking about ....

 

It's the sort of attitude you used to see in the Australian cricket team.

 

Apart from the fact they've just lost 3 in a row @ home..

 

LOL!!!

This thread is indeed very sad and touching. Nobody deserves to die in a street fight. Nobody

 

 

Hey! I never meant it as a joke...Im really serious. The teams attitude is, as far as im concerned the reason why they are truly the world champs. Oh well..sorry if that post came off the wrong way.

ytou know what angus youre always with this front about how tough it is in australia and about how tough you gotta be /..please its boring allready..new york is much worse and believe me in the mean streets here is much better to go home alive then to worry about saving face.and portraying some hero.they dont play here.you could be shot here in the face simply by looking at someone the wrong way..why do all of youre post have to sound like something out of the "west side story?"..ohh i got confronted by a gang of bad guys...but i prevailed...im a good martial artist..ohh im tough please allready!!!!
