> they are notoriously overrun but low education bracket people that get into fist fights so vehemently

I don’t understand the need to make this elitist statement? In fact, why is shutting up and complaining on HN your preferred solution?

>I don’t understand the need to make this elitist statement?

What's elitist about some facts? Do you know many chemistry PhDs who get into fist fights or do they tend to avoid conflicts? Overall the more educated and intelligent a populace is, the less physical violence and crime there is.

Not everyone who is poorly educated starts fist fights, but people starting fist fights are always poorly educated and low intelect, who give in to their instincts telling them conflicts are solved by acting like a silverback gorilla.

I think there's a difference between a mutually agreed upon fight and an unprovoked attack which is what you'd have a good chance of seeing in swimming pools where I live.

I was physically assaulted by a high ranking PhD in the lab where I worked. Anyone can be crazy.

[FirmwareBurner]

That's what academia does to ya'. /s (but only slightly)

Yeah anyone can be crazy and assult others, but the frequency of occurrences is what makes the difference.

[AniseAbyss]

That's bullshit. I see drunk students every day. And they are supposed to be the future elites- may God help us all.

[FirmwareBurner]

Now that's some boomer bullshit. Look at adults, not at kids,.

Yes, we were all youngsters at one point and did stupid shit as kids (drunken parties, drugs, etc). That doesn't mean most of those haven't straightened up as adults and became peaceful, productive members of society and loving parents to well raised kids who will in turn do stupid shit as teenagers before growing up to become functioning adults.

This comment is not elitist, it is an unfortunate truth. Moreover, this happened only quite recently. What you are not supposed to say out loud is the fact that the majority of these "low education bracket people" who a behaving badly in public pools are young Muslim men who recently immigrated as refugees.

This is not at all a recent phenomenon. A couple of decades ago, when going to open air baths in Berlin after school, the same things could be observed. Same clientele as well though, low class, low education, patriarchal and religious young men, predominantly.

[cbmuser]

I have been living in Berlin for more than four decades and, yes, it’s a recent problem.

[danielbln]

Then maybe you didn't visit public baths as a youth, because I don't know what to tell you, it's been an issue as long as I can remember (born here, close to four decades ago).

The poster was already pretty educated in his comment. Let's say that after every summer the right wing party in Germany is earning new voters...
