    And a co-worker of yours turns around and says too you, "I hate Boxing, I don't see the point in two guys beating the crap out of one another".

    What is your response?

    I just ignore them. It is very ignorant to make a statement like that so I don't give them a rise...:yep

    I have a mate who thinks boxing is **** but is happy to sit on a riverbank every waking hour watching a polestyrene float to go under when a fish eats his worm...:huh

    Each to there own I guess...:good

    My response would depend on how badly the person in question wished to push the issue.
    If they wanted to argue, I would simply state that I believe society, and the lawmakers in particular, should provoide men with legal avenues in which to explore their violent tendencies.
    Better in the ring than out.

    My opinion of them as a person would plummet on hearing those words.

    Boxing is a bit like marmite anyway..... it doesn't bother me one way or the other.

    What pisses me off more is when people think they know what they are on about and don't have a ****ing clue :lol:

    If someone says football is better than rugby though :rosstheboss:rosstheboss:rosstheboss

    Same, I wouldn't care. If they kept on about it I'd just walk off, me saying anything won't change their minds.

    And football is better than rugby :good
