I don't suppose you think adults should start busting eachother's lips open at work too, or do you?
I think it's pretty sad that even adults can be bullies..

unfortunately , I do think that past a certain point adults should bust each other up as well. It is one thing if you work a job where everyone teases and picks on everyone else. That can be just a harmless way of blowing off a little steam with your co-workers. If it gets out of hand ,just saying something will usualy fix it. It is another thing entirely if you are singled out and tormented day after day. Most of the time, with people like that, a civilized "Hey thats not acceptable/funny" doesnt work. In a situation like that you can either try to get your tormentor fired, quit yourself, or bust his lip.
Talking is a great way to solve problems, but not all problems can be solved by talking. When you try to talk to someone you must assume that they are resonable and smart enough to take it to heart. Past a certain point talking is useless and a diffrent tactic has to be applied.
