what would your reaction have been had he beat her so bad, that she died of her injuries?
Is that a case of survival of the fittest?

I met a guy in an institution once. His best friend slept with his girlfriend. He lost it and beat his best friend into a bloody pulp. He ended up in a coma because of it. He got 3 years in jail and 6 months in an institution.

Do you understand that besides the morality of violence, there are actually severe consequences and risks of permanent and serious harm that could become of it?

No excuses because in the end, it was his decision. Good thing about the guy is that he did his time and took it with respect, understood that despite his anger, he let himself lose control and this was the result. He became such a calm guy afterwards. Really nice dude.

Edit: I'd also like to add that if you get provoked or have anger issues, it's really your problem whether you let it get to you or not. Nobody else. There's a problem with you if you're letting yourself give into cravings because you smoke, not the cigarettes'. Don't blame the woman because you can't control your dick. Don't blame the heroin because you're a junkie.

No, I'm not trying to be controversial. I don't understand this logic.

Do you spend you free time lecturing cheetahs on the feelings of gazelles?

edit: seriously, what's being proposed is, in effect, two different theories of dealing with disparitys in power; (1) the strong shouldn't use their strength to their own advantage, & (2) the weak shouldn't put themselves in situations wherein they rely on the good graces of the strong....

It may not be a perfect analogy, but it's the idea behind the analogy.

Cause it's the only thing keeping a 6'6" brick ****house from caving in your skull and taking all your stuff. This is civilization 101 we're talking here. If you don't get that, then you should go live in a shack in the woods and eat berries.

??? wtf i didn't say that ****.

Ok class, lets take out our dictionaries, and please look up the word "Sympathy". Now, who'd like to read the definition of the word "Sympathy" for me, hmm? Ok, Bunny go ahead.

Oops! I guessed I messed up the quotes. Don't know how your name got in there. That was supposed to be my quote.

haha yeah i was noticing that was your quote too, weird.

Oh, okay, I see now. I didn't realize that not being allowed to savagely beat people was a "handicap".

So let's get this straight, if a big mean motherfucker decides to come to your shack one day and then decides he doesn't like you and then proceeds to beat seven buckets of crap out you. Do you after regaining consciousness think 1) I feel greatly aggrieved and will report him for what he's done and get some justice done or 2) Feel greatly aggrieved but accept it, as he was stronger than you and a natural justice has been served. because the strong should always dominate the weak?
