    If every dual ended with at least one dead - as opposed to incapacitated - then it’d probably be fine. The problems as I see it is that it can be both extremely easy and ridiculously difficult to kill someone. If you just wing the opposition do you then have to finish them? What if they’re left a vegetable - who pays to keep the machine on; or do you pop back to the hospital and complete the job at a later date?


  • I started reading your post, but didn’t finish… here’s the thing: we’re all just random internet users from across the globe. I mean this with the utmost sincerity: “stop caring what unknown random people say”

    It’s impossible to discuss multi-layered and highly nuanced topics via text - plus there’s nobody doing quality control on a person’s qualification to comment. Why get involved? Also, if someone replies to you, you don’t have to reply back. I know that is not brilliant for engagement, but…




  • I kinda had the opposite happen.

    I was working for a charity doing some reconstruction in an ex war zone. That weekend was a major festival. I’m not of the area nor the religion so I volunteered to keep an eye on our camp instead that weekend.

    I finished my breakfast in the canteen and was about to walk the perimeter and do my checks when, inexplicably, I decided to stall and have a second coffee. Something I never did.

    As I went to sit down a massive explosion happened outside, shattering the entire area me and my clipboard should have been in. I wouldn’t have stood a chance. The canteen we were in was made out of shipping containers and probably saved our lives.






  • Yes, the law is often very wrong, but, unfortunately, that does not stop it from being the law… nor does it shield you from punishment from the state.

    Break the law = no instance Obey the law = have instance

    Check out .world and where they stand under German law, for example. It is illegal to say some things under German law. Don’t like it? Run for election and try and initiate change or move country.
