The Jeffrey Simmons incident got me thinking. When is it reasonable to punch someone? I'm not saying that what he did was "right"- but when you talk about someone's family in a demeaning way I can understand.

If I went up to someone and called them a p**** and they punched me, I wouldn't be surprised.

And what if someone is cheating on someone's wife? I would consider that grounds for being punched.

I think as a society we look too much at the action and not enough at the cause of the action.

Thoughts?
