The lack of violence to which most young middle class people are exposed these days is also extremely problematic. How can any young animal possibly expect to understand its place in the hierarchy without the occasional battering? If you ask me, there are few more educational moments in life than being punched in the face.

Hmmmmm... violence in the broader sense, yes. I vividly remember the first time a full back told me he was going to break my legs or a bowler told me the next few were all heading for my ears. I am not convinced that mindless violence taught me anything.

Oh, but mindless violence is very rare. Most violence has a very specific social purpose.

Like when a chap told me he was going to punch me in the face because he believed that my friend has let the kebab shop door close on him?

He was most confused when I responded by asking him to be moe specific with regard to the closing of the door.

Exactly so. He was simply attempting to assert his dominance.

He told me he didnt like rock music but I think this was merely an excuse. It was Christmas Eve, he was ugly and poor and him an his mates wanted to punch some people they didnt like the look of.

I would say we fought them to a losing draw
