Well Easy, you do what you have to do. Just make sure the punishment fits the crime.
Standing up for yourself is a good thing Easy.
Like...if someone talks down to you, you do what? Slap them across the face?
If someone makes a fool of you, you, what, punch them?
I'm not exactly sure how John Wayne is expecting to react to any of these affronts, except with violence. He was The Shootist, right? Last I looked, he SHOT people who "talked down to him" and such. Now, you may call me a stick in the mud, a killjoy, whatever, but I hasten to mention that this would lead to murder charges in the United States. Making a fool of you or talking down to you is NEVER justifiable homicide.
So, aside from killing them, how does the John Wayne axiom actually get applied in the real world? When someone disrespects you, you do, what, exactly?
