Duelling

[Lemur]

Much more interesting if you could duel over small claims and insurance issues. Your neighbor built a fence that you believe is two feet into your property? Duel!

[Kralizec]

Who is the barbarian wuss who voted for non-lethal dueling?

Joking, of course.

[Hosakawa Tito]

"recreational" duelling (Mensur)?

Killing for fun? Not my cup of tea. However, some of my colleagues from work and I get together for some paintball madness once in a while. Kind of like 'playing army' for adults, and them babies do sting and leave welts & bruises. Paintball dueling...could be a happy compromise.

Mensur is not killing - it is very rare for death to occur. It's not really a duel either, as there is no winner or loser. This also answers Fenring's statement.

Its hard to consider. Now if we're talking about duelling bangos and the possibility of forced sodomy, I'm all for it!!!

[PBI]

I retract my earlier opposition. I had not considered the possibilities of banjo duelling.

[LittleGrizzly]

If used instead of huge armies to settle national disputes then im all for it...

Exactly, get rid of that puritanicle feminate slap fest known as small claims court. Man up, solve it the proper way, duel! If you win, then obviously your arguement was the stronger and correct.

Might is not right... This has to be the worst way to settle disputes.

Not legal disputes necessarily, but disputes of honour.

[PBI]

Regarding honour, I feel Crazed Rabbit was right on the money with this:

The only one who can harm my honor is myself.

[Incongruous]

Might is not right... This has to be the worst way to settle disputes.

Yeah, money makes right tends to be so much better.
Or perhaps even, technicality makes right?

I thought that this was about non-legal matters? Besides, I don't think our current court system works, so that argument holds no sway with me.

Do you support assisted suicide? If both parties agree to a duel in writing, both should have the reasonable expectation that they will die. Like soldiers, if you will.

Euthanasia and Duelling are incomparable. One is about choosing to end your own life. One is killing another person.
