I respect ppl who have ability of violence

Yeah a man should know how to fight. If you can't fight you can't protect yourself, your family and your country. The Western world is in a state of being of a massive pussy atm, but some men can still hold their own. Woe to the West for the day those men die.

There is absolutely no reason to get violent if you or the people around you are not in physical danger.

They are just words. Even if they hurt grow up and learn how to ignore and walk away.

I like the way it is now where physical assault of any kind gets people arrested and people can no longer ruin a groups fun and meal by causing a scene and starting a bar fight.

There's already enough hostility in the world we don't need physical hostility added to it.

That is a respectable trait.

Do I count as having "never engaged in physical conflict" if I've been punched in the face but can't fight? I've never landed a hit.

I think I understand what you mean. It's good to surround yourself with men that can have your back and have the capacity to protect the things they love if necessary but if you think lowly of men that aren't willing to throw fists at the first sign of disrespect then that's where I'd disagree with you. Fights aren't like the movies where you get to decide who survives a punch and who doesn't, it takes one punch to have someone dead. This is why it's good to learn social skills to combat disrespect while also physically training for those rare instances you need to protect what you love physically.
