As insult they gave him 20 pesos to catch a cab home.

So the original message still sends a message. Perhaps not here in TV, but anywhere. You may not be carrying a weapon or have a chance to respond. Better to give up the $300 without having holes put in you or losing teeth. Even the macho weapon response may not be worth it for that amount of money.

And for those martial arts experts, who are phasing into senior citizens, recognize that your broken teeth and knuckles may also cost you more than the lost money.

My message, pick your fights for real issues and not macho response.

Thank you for a very intelligent post!
