Sure, because that’s what I always thought about just having an argument with MY wife

It's the heat (I'm not kidding).

There is definitely something to be said about excessive heat being linked to having a short fuse, but to actually pick up a knife and kill someone is a whole different thing all together.

"We got into an argument and I lost my temper and stabbed my wife."

It was your wife, imbecile clown...

Go to jail, gallows awaits..

"I was drunk I don't remember"

"I didn't mean to kill her"

These usually get you off doing jail time

some people are just so courageous, an argument and you stabbed her more than once. Premeditated

Japanese people need Anger Management and keep knives locked away.

So many people I have disagreed with over many decades but never came to any violence.
