i agree with da op specifically, Samsung and apple should duel each other instead of this patent infringement slapfight, the ceos of each company should kill each other don't see anything wrong with this.

I also wish everyone would just wear fedoras again, hold doors open for women and call them "m'lady" I would gladly don my fedora and take part in a duel against another gentlemen for the hand of a fair maiden because swag is for boys and class is for men.

Shadoer posted:The rules varied along with the punishment for not accepting. In addition, a challenge could be straight up insult so if you don't respond to public humiliation you are seen as a craven spineless wimp. No woman would gently caress you and you're buddies abandon you. In more "civilized" times the act of slapping your face with a glove could be substituted to just throwing glove at your feet or a very polite letter implying that that if you don't show up in park at dawn you are a bitch. To keep things more gentlemanly. Also, don't know about other countries but in 19 century russia, being caught cheating at cards was pretty much a free for all at the table to murder you.

The government wants you to duel inside on the computer. That's pretty much what video games are for. Dueling is a natural instinct, embedded deep within man's hard drive. Once you hit puberty, the dueling program boots up so to speak and you just start looking for opponents. That's why there's the most fights in middle school and then by high school everybody calms down because the hierarchies have all been established and the best duelers are well known. But the drive to duel is still there, so that's why we have video games. Instead of going out and winning a duel against some idiot who cut you on line in 7-11, there's another kind of online: online video games. This is where you can "own" (old dueling term adapted to the video-game world) people and assert your dominance over them without any real bloodshed. Occasionally the action gets too hot and digital blood bleeds over into the real world, but video games are mostly successful in their function of containing duels.

uhhh you weren't actually supposed to kill people in a duel. it was like a big show to see that you weren't a coward. once you hit or shot the guy(you were SUPPOSED to miss on purpose) it was over. people definitely took advantage of this however and murdered the other guy. dueling didn't even stop until the 1900's, and it stopped because Wrestling matches that could end in a cheap murder were starting to be frowned upon.

And you can replace the grip with a stock and put an rifle barrel on it to make a carbine. They also make a slightly beefier version that can handle even larger calibers.

Err... it really depended on where, when, and the reason behind the duel. You could duel till first blood and someone gained satisfaction, however that needed to be agreed to at the start in the "negotiations leading to a proper duel". Otherwise if you and the other fellow said something along the lines "to the death", well it was to the death. Only way out was to either do something to put themselves in mortal danger, like lowering your guard and saying "I yield" or later on shooting your pistol into the air and risking your opponent is going to shoot you. For the most part though, the point of a duel was for two people in a disagreement to have a fair and legal way to murder one another. Thing was you didn't really have a strong court system to settle disputes and a ton of nobles with small armies at their commands. With duels the nobility were able to "settle" things without bringing their few hundred guys to go and fight the other guys hundred guys while burning castles and farmland between them, and then allowing things to spiral into an outright civil war.

So basically instead of going to into a war, the stupid idiots that would enact said war would instead kill one another one on one? gently caress it, I am so down for duels.

They should bring back dueling and also trial by combat. If you're on trial for some crime you can ask for trial for combat and if you kill the other dude god obviously favors you and you're innocent and if he kills you then you were guilty. Hólmgang is also pretty cool. They'd put down a blanket or fur that was just big enough for two men to fight in it and put stakes on the corners and ropes between them. Then the dudes would stand in the circle and hack at each other and try to block each others blows with their shields. The one who bled first or fell out of the ring* lost. If you refused to fight you lost. This was abolished because there were dudes that just went around challenging random farmers to hólmagang claiming they were the rightful owners of their land or some other property. The farmers then had the choice between either fighting a professional duelist and probably losing and bribing them to go away. Most people would do the latter. There was of course variation between different countries and time periods. Sometimes Hólmgang was to the death and sometimes instead of a ring they were fought on small islands or cliffs. In some places to avoid profiteering all the winner would get was a small amount of silver, unless the fight was over a certain property. *or died.

Lawyers wouldn't make any money if lawsuits were replaced with duels, and since most of our government is made of lawyers, former lawyers, and people owned by lawyers, dueling is illegal. No, duelling has been pretty illegal for a very long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel#Changing_attitudes Probably beaten. This thread got to 3 pages quickly.
