Most duels wern't to the death. Usually only until first blood was drawn, if it did result in the death then the person would still be subject to the law.
Has anyone posted anything about Thunderdome yet?
That's what we need. Thunderdome. You have a score to settle with someone? You fight them. If they can kick your ass, then obviously your say doesn't matter. Someone wrong you and you want to fix it? Take it to the 'dome. Either beat them up and be equals, or they crush you and prove you're weak and pathetic and worthy of being belittled.

The only problem is that if you're the best gunman in the area nobody can ever argue with you. No imagine the best gunman is a dick who likes to rob people and beat the crap out of you...Drakmeire said:
I don't know it should really be legal. It is a practice designed to kill someone and the law states that only the state has the right to do that. Not to mention that if someone gets roped into a duel and killed he can't really make the argument that he never agreed or was mislead now can he?
It would save a lot of money for everyone involved and get rid of lawyers... Yes, lets do it! And we would use swords so that nobody would accidentally get shot. And swords are far more awesome. And then we'd get to carry a rapier to work. Sweat.
True, but think about it, fencing is waaaay more effort than shooting and we are a lazy lazy species.trooper6 said:

Seriously though? Yes/ What two consenting people do shouldn't be the government's business. So long as the only people who get hurt are people that agreed to get hurt, I'm down with this.
If it were in a controlled arena, then why not? Fist fights, swords, axes, etc. To the death or until 1 surrenders. It would make for some great TV.
Making it legal to fight to the death...hmm I'm sure there would lots of cases where people got caught up in the crossfire.
I think duels would be a fine way to settle disputes knowing the facts that we are all capable of violence. It's better than a shootout where innocent, non-involved people can be killed.
I don't see any reason to ban Duel Monsters, no.
Seriously though, I don't think it's right for people to kill each other over petty disputes (it's a case where "honor" is a synonym for "stupid"). Non-lethal contests (like Duel Monsters), however, are perfectly fine.

It seems to me that even considering making duels legal is ass backwards. Everyone who voted "yes" has some problems.
Oh, and people saying stuff like "it would weed out stupid people" and "it would help overpopulation".
Jesus fucking christ, hope you never get any political power.
