The link you refer to, does not bolster what you said.
It posted , that a minor party in Russia had claims for that.
That is very different from your "Introductory Thoughts".

Trivial matter, the point of this thread was to discuss dueling, not russian politics per se.

That article was good jump off. Simple as that.

You want to talk Russian politics, we have threads for that under "Europe"

:lol:

I do understand what you call a "good jump off".
But that "good jump off" is based on a lie you don't care about.
Aren't you ashamed to say that this makes no difference?

How is it a lie? there are Russians pushing to legalize duels. Close enough.

Everyone has read the article and your the only one to get butt-hurt over something minor that no gives a shit about and has nothing to do with dueling itself, which is the point of the OP.

Nope. Not a bit.

Feel free to move along now.

You claimed " Russia just legalized dueling" and knew that that's not the case.
"How it is a lie?"
Do you know what a lie is?
What do you think?
Is it possible, that this was giving false witness by intention?
To get a 'good starter' to own ends perhaps?

@hartmut,

The title of the RT article was (EXACT quote):

Duels to be recognized under Russian law


This is an exact quote, and I briefly said that Russia was legalizing duels before going straight into the topic of dueling. Given the title of the RT article, what I said was neither a lie nor entirely devoid of basis. Rather, upon careful examination, you have stated that it was inaccurate because it was merely a bill introduced by a minor party that I am assuming was not ratified (which was clearly not true at the time of the article's being written).

So did I lie?

Absolutely not.

Did I provide a trivial inaccuracy that is ultimately irrelevant to the substance of the OP and can only be argued in retrospective?

Sure. I'll concede that. :lol:

If you have no fucking point and nothing to contribute, quit wasting my time.

An FK BRNO field pistol with its proprietary 7.5mm, 95 grain, legal ie. 'non-armour piercing' bullet (muzzle velocity 2,100 fps, delivering 900ft/lbs of energy) will penetrate a 111A plate at 50yds and kevlar II armour at 100yds.

:lol:

Obviously that question was in the context of duels using melee weapons like swords instead of guns. I'll just bold the obviously since even obvious things escape your notice. :p

Definition of "game":

a physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other


technically duelling is exactly a game. War can be too if there are rules and there often are ie: geneva conventions.

But you are a commie who likes bravely killing harmless prisoners by shooting them in the back of the head while they are at your meagre mercy. That is indeed a very different kind of "game".
