Maybe high schools should have boxing available as a sport or something? Teach some honour and respect.

I hear ya! Problem is the coward mentality is in now, where there is no such thing as a "fair" fight because there is no reason behind so many attacks. It is the thrill factor, or alternatively, the being so out of your skull factor. It just simply isn't a matter of pride or honour any more because these people have neither.

im from sydney and from the bankstown region. i live in a small suburb called revesby and its a great place its so safe to walk around at night and all my mates are close but shit things have happend outside of my suburb.
i wouldnt advise tourist to walk the streets of bankstown at night ( your just asking to be shot or stabbed) i know a mate who got stabbed in the back with a screw driver because he looked like someone they new? wtf he was at school in a quiet little suburb
. i can talk about so many things that have happend but its too long so just incase if people want to come to sydney avoid bankstown,liverpool,punchbowl,campeltown,fairfield ,cabramatta at night theres more

There never was any honour. Dad got beaten up for no reason when he was 13 at the Frankston train station. He is now 55! People are people, and some are just bad. Never happened to me, but then my mates call me conan for a reason! Maybe it helps to be huge...so go to the gym guys and teah a bogan a thing or two about pain!

That sounds like false bravado if ever i head it. My Daughter who is on the light side has beaten people twice her size, don't make the mistake that the bigger you are the less likely you are to be a target. I'm 6"10 weight in the area of 21 stone, and i have had my share of fights ( mind you i have done taekwondo for over 35 years) and most of them by short angry people. Bj

Add to that knives etc.
When you've got certain parts of the world thinking that targeting civilians or taking cover amongst civilians while opening fire is an acceptable method of fighting a war, then it's not going to get better soon as then you get other people who fight without any honour either on the streets.

These little scumbags are thinking they're tough because they beat up one guy - but it took all 10 of them to do it. A real man stands toe to toe, one on one, hand to hand

As for teaching boxing, you could imagine the complications of that, considering if any kid got badly hurt there'd be lawsuits left, right and centre. It only turns untrained thugs into trained thugs. The attitude needs changing as well.

Maybe I am just lucky! I did learn how to run really fast but. Or perhaps it's because all of my spare time I am in the shed working on another car, not being out in public.

why not strap bombs to them and they can become suicide bombers then? the world is soft. there is so many people complaining about human rights. if someone brakes in your house you should be allowed to shoot them if you want. not get arrested if they get hurt in your house. its a joke

Thats fair enough that you should be able to defend yourself on your own property without consequences and I agree with that, but shooting them, no. Once again guns will make us end up like america, and I hope to never see that!

Ahhh, America. where you can legally shoot a criminal while defending your family and property, and most importantly your own life. As opposed to Australia where the criminals have the guns, and can sue your *** in court if they get hurt. Nice.

currently the US military is having problems with gang members joining the army, getting military training, equipment, etc, some of which has been found in the posession of gang members on the street (stuff like flak jackets, etc), and military tactics/training has been suspected of being used to further train civillian gang members......not good when the police are up against half trained gang apes instead of the normal idiot variety......

half the problem with the US military is that for the most part, thier lower ranked forces come from lower class backgrounds where the best hope for a steady paycheque and a future is by joining the army, and combined with a severe lack of experienced officers (real battle experience as opposed to college book learned experience) makes for a bad start

making matters worse is that experienced troops with anything resembling combat experience and a good record are being lost to private security companies operating in high risk places like Iraq, Afghanistan, etc because the pay is so much higher than anything the army pays

i know the Australian military faces the same problems, but they're generally much better trained and disciplined

Agreed on all points. I could probably add some but I'm not going to.

However I fail to see how the blame can be laid on the types of people who join (or are potentially made to join), as was alluded to.

Thanks Interceptor and you made exactly the same points I would have made if you didnt post that first. And as for the whole gun issue, look at the number of deaths by guns and murders around the world and american seems to be above everyone else, not just above, but towering ahead. America have a lot of issues not just in their army as mentioned but theyre whole law and justice system..
