"The first step to winning any fight, be it against man or beast, is to have a pair of balls ... instead of running around in terror like a naked blonde in Harlem."
That's funny that you say that. I have won fights before against males that were "braver" than me. Loud-mouthed punks that think the fact that I am displaying fear absolutely means they can beat me. I guess their big, bad "balls" didn't save them. The thing is, they could have just left me alone. If somenoe's backing down, he must be physically incapable of fighting according to their thinking. The thing is, 99% of these loud-mouthed assholes score easy victories. Some of them could probably beat me, so they deserve the victory for the time being. Many don't.
When you are challenged, you have two choices. That is all it comes down to. You can either run away or you can attack all out and fight to the finish.
Imagine this scenario, and try to actually answer the question. You are in a bar. A guy you've never met subtly glances at you in that way they all do to establish social dominance as you pass by him in the bar. Do you instantly challenge/fight him, or do you back down and let yourself be humiliated while the entire bar laughs at you after you leave? I will admit that 99.99999999% of the time I go home in humiliation in that instance and tell myself 'someday'. I notice every little glance, comment, or body movement directed against me and remember the son of a bitch responsible and think about what I would like to do to him. I can only imagine what they all do and say when I'm not watching. Do you know what it's like to constantly know that everyone is against you. I know what most of them want to do. If they ever cut my balls off, rape me, or do anything like that, I will definitley finish a few people before I kill myself. There will be no reason for cowardice at that point.
What do you suggest I do, beat the living *** out of every single person that challenges me? I have already lost jobs and gone through too many headaches entirely because of assholes that literally do not deserve to live. There are several people that I work with now that I would love to beat within an inch of their lives because of the way they have disrespected me. They do it in subtle ways now, except I can tell what they're doing. I know they all get together and laugh about it behind my back. I know I have to be extra careful every night when I walk home from work. There are a couple I would be reluctant to fight. I don't bluff, if I don't want to mess with a guy, I will run away. If I do want to fight, I attack him. What am I supposed to do, fight everyone? Do you honestly expect me to believe that you beat the shit out of every single person that challenges you? You would be getting into fights several times a day every day of your life. There is no way you could hold down a job. Oh wait, I bet you don't fight sometimes because you are above it. Sure.
How many dogs have you killed? You must not walk anywhere. EVERY SINGLE strange dog I have ever come across wanted to kill me, I could see it in their eyes.
Another question you didn't answer was this. Imagine an American Pit Bull Terrier runs away from every thing that comes near it. It will do anything it can to kill any human being or animal only when cornered. It's owner matches it in locked cage matches so it can't run away from it's opponent. Say it proves to be a legitimate fighting dog and doesn't curr out under those circumstances because it can and will fight to the finish when forced to do so. Would you admire it any less than any other dog of comparable ability? What about in comparison to a dog that it beat under those circumstances by making the other dog, which would have beaten it under standard rules, quit after a long, hard fight. What about in relation to another dog which it simply over-matched physically. To me, the originally mentioned dog is the ultimate expression of self-preservation.
To me, that animal is an ideal that is worth striving for in life. I admire his paranoia, ability, and tenacity. I would love to breed a line of dogs like that to watch them.
As I stated earlier "There is nothing wrong with running away from everyone and everything in life as long as you can and will fight when forced into a corner."

The Labrador Retriever left me no choice. The person I told you about deserved a lot worse than what he got. I have been beaten up nearly that bad before. In fact, I meant what I said earlier in that the reason I didn't erase him from this earth had nothing to do with morale character, I simply didn't want to get into trouble.
