re: We used to settle things with fistfights instead of guns fallacy

Right out of college in the early eighties, I got a job at a local hospital. We saw a lot of people who were stabbed. A few gun shots patients, sure.
Stabbings are very rare now.

We have full hi def vertical video of the fist fights now so more than a handful of people can now that they happened.

It just seems like there's more today because everyone videos it now.
Violent crime is about the same today as it was in the 70's, and lower than any decade after that.

So are you saying that they don't believe that black lives matter? I would agree with you.

You do know that the 1970s was 40 years ago and not 25 years ago right?

Not sure what smarmy point you are trying to make , but you failed. I was in college in the seventies and stated there were few altercations involving LSU students which even led to fist fights much less shootings. I compared that era to what has evolved over the past quarter century where there are more college fights and some shootings. The presumption to anyone with comprehension skills is the 15 years gap between my college days and the inception of more violent times was an extension of the lesers violence occurred dring my college days.

The prevalence of video cameras is irrelevant. The increased vioence began in the mid 90's and cell phone cams only became popular in the last decade.
I am not randomly assigning worst traits to a certain generation. There were very few if any fights, and shootings wer virtually non existant. I had kids in college in the nineties who described the escalation of fighting and the media has chonicled the rise in violence.

Violence peaked in the mid-90's and then started to decline in a trend that was reflected globally.

I went to LSU in the 90s. There were plenty of fights back then. Any given night in Sports or Murphy’s there were multiple fights. The difference is there were no cell phones.
Thank God for that.

Yes, and has gone down rapidly since.
As I said in my other post, violent crime is about the same today as in the 70's.

We didn't hate each other back in the day as much as we do now.
I'll kill anyone who thinks the opposite

Dueling gun fights in the street is a hollywood thing...in real life there were few
Pussification/tenderness of young people plays a part in this....everybody gets a trophy = win at all cost = I can't lose
Now its i have to one up you
Back in the day if you were a participant in fistacups the best man won...took the whoopin and moved on
Heck way way back we were youngsters full of testosterone...just look at me wrong and fists were flying
yeah we broke arms, broke noses, broke jaws, may have a part of finger missing or piece of ear but we either won or took the whoopin and walked away...never displayed a knife or gun

Back in the 70s kids were allowed to learn conflict resolution even if using their fists so they didn’t grow into degenerate assclown college kids that need to use a gun to resolve conflict.

There were just as many fights. There just weren't video cameras in our pockets to film them or social media in which to discuss them.

People think that college gives thrm a free pass to act like an a-hole. And my college in the early 90s there is lots of fights it was kind of annoying but there are a lot of people from Massachusetts and they just love to fight. That’s why they’re called mass holes

Violent crime in America peaked in the late 70's-early 80's so you can generally ignore middle-aged white dudes being nostalgic for an age that never really existed like they think it did

this wasn't at LSU, this was at Southern. maybe take your white privilege memories and shove them where the sun doesn't shine.
different cultures solve problems differently. it's abhorrent that you slight another cultures way of dealing with things. what next? are you going to tell me you and your white friends didn't see many honor killings at LSU in the seventies. SMH...YOU are what is wrong with the world today!!!
