Agreed.
However I was raised, to fight fair and hard, not to attempt to maim the other person but to prevent them from hurting you.
I have no problem punching someone in the solar plexus and causing their diaphragm to spasm, which instantly immobilises anyone, no matter their size.
I then though would run away and live to fight another day, if the person was stupid enough to try me again.
There are many ways to immobilise people without maiming them, to me if a man takes my eye in a fight he is a coward, he could not beat me in a fair fight.
If you carry a weapon, you are scared that you are not tough enough to fight, so don't let your mouth run away with you. Crazy brave and stupid tough, ends up winning the Darwin Award.
Men used to fight in pubs up and down the land and if you got your butt kicked, you accepted it and bought the other guy a drink, it was respect.
Fear now though rules. Not toughness, not honour, and life without honour is no real life at all.
