[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 223277, member: 102"] Punching out JR when JR made a joke Bobby didn't like or when Bobby lost all self composure because he didn't get his way is the reaction of a man so morally compromised that he approves of initiating the use of physical force against another man. Bobby has every right to decide to not to deal with JR or to even refuse to associate with JR. He also has the option to use discussion, persuasion, and voluntary, uncoerced agreement. Bobby is either so morally or intellectually bankrupt that he resorts to the initiation of physical force instead of any of those legally and morally acceptable alternatives. It's the precondition of a civilized society to bar the use of physical force from social relationships. To say "Bobby turned on Sue Ellen" implies a betrayal of sorts. If Bobby had an allegiance to one over the other, it would be to his brother whom he loved-not to his sister-in-law whom he sometimes liked. Bobby owed Sue nothing. Sue Ellen was the woman who broke and entered into JR's home with the aid of an accomplice. Sue Ellen and her accomplice didn't stop there. Sue Ellen sicced her goon on JR, in JR's own home.
