Should dueling be legal?

[renard_ruse]

If two consenting adults want to duel, even to the death, should the government be allowed to stop them?

Hi! Out of curiosity, what century is it in your time zone?

Duelling was illegal in the UK in the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries. It was illegal in France and Russia too. The survivor of a fatal duel usually had to retreat to another country for a few years.

It was permitted under strict rules in 19th Century Prussia.

somewhere around or between 1922 and 1925 would be my guess.

I was dueling the other day with bigrednz.

Unfortunately I was too keen and damn near poked out his eye.

I bent my french stick too.

Dueling with long bread sticks is as funny as it sounds until someone gets hurt.

Sooo the best guesses are either 19th century Prussia or 1922-25 the rest of the world?

The Prussia thing would explain a lot for me. I don't understand a word of Prussian.

I don't understand much German with a German acccent, so...

Crunchy on the outside and squishy in the middle. Divine.


For dueling crunchy french sticks are a must.

Squishy ones droop and don't jab well.

When you've finished being larrikins you can spread the french stick with some margarine and add sliced ham.

Boy, I'm getting old.

I remember when centuries had 100 years in them.

Probably inflation.

Do we blame Calvin Coolidge for this?

 

[oggbashan]

One of the reasons duelling became illegal in England was that the gun manufacturers produced accurate rifled duelling pistols.

Unlike duelling with a small sword, or with inaccurate smoothbore pistols, when injury was more likely than death, the rifled duelling pistols could be mutually fatal.

I guess you haven't been to Chicago lately.

Exactly.

Anything is legal, unless you get caught at it.

i was calling him a fascist, dipshit.

Andy Jackson served two terms as US president with a pistol ball from a duel lodged in his chest near his heart.


His opponent went first.


He got up and shot the guy dead.


No, I didn't Google.


Roger B. Taney died on this date in 1863.

And I was calling you a dipshit, fascist.

why? because i didn't take her silly question about timezones containing different centuries literally? are you fucking autistic?

And you get all upset and name-calling because I was amused at a century with only 3 years in it.

Isn't summer over? Shouldn't you be back in 3rd grade? Again? This early in the semester, and you are already flunking out.

By the way, there are a couple of shift keys on your keyboard. If you hold them down while you type a letter, you get capital letters. Like you are supposed to have on the first word of every sentence.

They'll probably cover that in 4th grade.

If you ever get there.

By the way, what is this perverse interest you have in the sexual activities of autistics?

I see a fantastic business opportunity here. Similar to a gun range, but a dueling range. Both parties sign a waiver, and an agreed upon rule list and method. They of course each pay a fee but the winner is also charged for cleanup. It would keep feuds off the street and also "thin the heard."

I'm gonna make a KILLING (pun intended).
