"duels"

[handmade34]

duels were quite gentlemanly as the participants agreed upon the act - it is absolute nonsense to use the fact that there used to be duels in this country to justify today's political climate...

2. Yes, and they had rules of conduct.

to me, it sounded like palin was saying that guns are bad since she used "duels" as an example of violence.

i don't think her loyal followers would like that very much.

3. yes, rules of conduct

the duel comparision has been repeated numerous times on TV the past few days... trying to say that this rhetoric is nothing new; see, they used to duel. Idiotic comparision

4. And they were between grown men. No 9 year old children. No influence

of a possibly mentally ill young man.

6. I don't think the ludicrous nature of duels needs to be defended.

The comparison is ridiculous, no matter what. If someone is going to that to excuse the ugliness coming from the extremists on the right, then that someone doesn't have much of an argument.
