I just wonder why kids need to be taught how to fight in order to take care of themselves. Isn't this the 21st century, the age of reason and modern thinking? You know, the time where we can solve problems by discussion and cooperation instead of brute force?

Well, i would let them know that i care for them, but i would'nt personally intervene, thats all im saying.
Anyway, dragonlich, they need to be thought both how to fight and how to negotiate... and the best way for them to learn this is to learn it themeselves... because in thier future life both of these skills will come in very handy. (and besides, some people still don't know that this is the 21st century =))
