That creates tension, it doesn't relieve it. The fact that afterwards you feel less tense is because you temporarily raised your stress level. It's like the old story about the guy who wanted a quiet house, so he brought his farm animals inside for a week. The house was "quiet" ever after.

violence never solves problems... it only creates them...
the wise will know, its the man that can fight, that doesnt...
not the man who cant fight, but does...
its better to run away, and live to fight another day...
reckless you are, patients you must learn, only then will you be a jedi master.
anyone that can walk away from a fight, truly is the stronger person.
need anymore reasons?

I've been in several fights, and trust me, hitting your principal is much different than hitting your boss. When you hit your principal, you're suspended, but allowed to come back after a year and complete your education.
When you hit your boss, it's called assault and battery, where you could end up doing time in a cell with Bubba, and your new name is Ben Dover. Then, once you're out of jail, no one wants to hire you because your criminal record has assault (on an employer no less). Have fun picking fights with the other hobo's, ShoW/AK47.

Did I hear the that violence reduces tension? - Well it does!! - In you (and only you) AND temporary. Never ever think that the best way out is fighting.

I will have to take the inti-fight point of view.
Fights hurt people. Hurt=bad. Seems wussy but its a strong moral principle.

As a practicioner of the martial arts for over a decade now, I must say that SWAK47 has a point. After leaving a conflict, your stress levels go down somewhat. I, however, am in a defensive style of martial arts. Means we don't start fights, because we're taught better.
I REALLY hope, SWAK47, that you weren't being serious when you said "pick a fight with someone". If you weren't, you've got anger issues or Headhunter/Little Man Syndrome, whichever suits you.
Picking a fight with another person is probably one of the stupidest things you could do. Hell, we as a hunam race have had WARS start over people picking fights.
As for quoting a movie character...Mrrr. I'll stop now before I really get started.

I've been in a few fights. My advice? Never get in a fight unless someone else is being a royal jackass to you and you're fairly certain you can decimate them. I mean, you'd think no one would be so stupid, but it happens anyway.

Having been in a few fights and having been in martial arts, I can
safely say that yes, fighting does lower stress. At least temporarily,
but it doesn't solve anything long term.
Second, hitting a punching bag or something solid is nearly
as good at lowering stress and it's good exercise.
The idea of fighting (real fighting) for fun at school is rediculous.
People get hurt. There are already enough injuries due to fighting
in the run of the school year.
Next, most people have better, less destructive ways of dealing with
stress or people they don't like. Perhaps we should spend less time watching violent, anti-establishment movies and more time talking things out.
Last, I'd like to part with some wisdom one of my karate instructors gave me:
If someone wants to fight you, walk away.
If he follows you, run.
If he catches you, kick the crap out of him.

allright, allright, fellas, take it easy. Look, I wasn't being entirely serious about the topic anyway. I'm not actually suggesting that you go up to your boss or principal and start a fight. It was merely an attempt, I suppose, at a witty response to culture20. However, at school, not at work, or within a public vicinity fighting strangers, we do have certain fight clubs which in no way resemble actual fighting. We have rules (no hitting in the face/crotch). That, may I add, is a good way to releive stress. I felt better then I have in a while after getting a good pummeling in the ribs from one of my friends. Yes, again, they can be friendly. Just because your punching someone as hard as you can, does not mean necessarily tha you have anything against him or her.
I guess the only reason I started this thread was because I saw the movie Fight Club the previous night. Now before you go insulting my intelligence by saying that I like to imitate fast action movies, you're wrong. I just think there are tons of pointless threads on this forum. Why not make try to make one funny? eh?
Listen culture20, take a joke man, who in their right mind would actually suggest hitting their boss for no reason?
Just relax fellas. But, this I'm not kidding about. Fighting to a certain degree relieves stress in good ways. At least for me. It doesn't feel as though I've released any bottled-up anger(Kidding about that too, I'm pretty easy-going) but it feels more like a work-out. Just avoid hits the the face and nether regions.
