It was.



well i guess Duelling should be illegal because it can be a perfect chance to murder someone and get away with it


Not only that but it's likely duels would quickly escalate into full blown street wars.


Not if you follow my suggestion. :)


I dunno about you but I'd be rather pissed if a dead body hit my car at terminal velocity.


We can do it over a specific target area. Like Zimbabwe. :)


Good idea, we can stuff participant's pants with Zimbabwean dollars so people can see the corpses coming by the fluttering paper trail.

Especially in Blackadder. :)

"Wellington : Come sir. Choose your stoker.
Blackadder : What's this? Are we going to tickle each other to death?
Wellington : No sir. We fight with cannon.
Blackadder : But I thought we were fighting with swords.
Wellington : Swords! What do you think this is, the middle ages? Only girls fight with swords these days. Stand by your gun sir."

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

I'd legalize it on the basis that it would help us identify people who shouldn't be allowed to vote, drive, work, or even go outside unaccompanied by nurses. Loser gets buried, winner gets a nice quiet padded cell and the gene pool is healthier .

This ensures that the greatest swordsman, does not go about killing everyone, and allows everyone a good chance. Besides, it is most amusing to see howitzer duels.

That sounds, to put it bluntly, made of win.
Pro-democracy, pro-NATO, anti-authoritarian. Mostly disinterested in the current political climate. Polarization is the cancer of the body politic.

You may be entertained that there was a real form of duelling popular in Tennesee in the late 19th century which involved the duellists playing catch with old (read "unstable") sticks of dynamite.

And that the first forms of air combat in WW1 involved throwing bricks at eachother from the passenger seat. Google it.

Better yet, nuke-fighting. Whoever stands the radiation the longest wins.

So it is like a drinking contest, only with radiation instead of whiskey. Also instead of getting $20, the winner gets cancer.
