Violence, albeit frowned upon by the cozy masses, can sometimes be a vehicle for good ends. (I.E. corporal punishment, entertainment or stress relief)

I propose the advent of an identifying bracelet to be worn when one feels like getting rowdy. If two persons, both wearing said bracelets get into a scuffle, then both parties forfeit their rights to charge the other with simple assault. The bracelet is, in effect, a contractual agreement to settle, or be willing and receptive to settling any disagreement with weaponless physical violence.

Of course classes must be taken before one can qualify for the bracelet, and extra stringent punishments apply to licensed bracelet wearers for assaulting a non-licensed individual.

I see your point, [Zen_Tom], but rarely will a heated debate turn to violence by both participants deciding to go buy boxing gloves and meet back up at the gym during regular business hours. Violence is rash with an obvious degree of instant gratification. I just think two consenting adults should have the option of settling their differences in a more un-evolved manner without having to risk the far-reaching consequences of an assault charge on your permanent record.
