Surely it's preferable to indulge one's sadism vicariously?Originally Posted by Sir C
Attempting to batter someone unconscious isn't art, p. It's brutality.
Watching it is a strangely voyeuristic way to enjoy your sadism.

God no. If you're going to wallow in your bloodthirstiness, yoiu could have the simple dignity to go and smash someone in the face yourself and risk a good hiding, otherwise you're a coward as well as a beast.
But if civilisation is anything it is the triumph of cowardliness. It places less value on physical strength or courage and places more on low cunning and a finely-honed instinct for self-preservation. You can't seek the milksop civilisation of no organised violence and kindness to animals and so forth and value the manly barbarian virtues of courage and honour. The two mindsets are on sharply-divergent paths. Indeed, one could make the argument that the kinder as a society we have become to animals, the more effeminate and cowardly we have become in other areas.
And no, I'm not reading it. It's for chicks.
