legalize the duel.

I've got a hankering for legalizing the Duel. Now I have no cabood to skedaddle to the hoosegow, but I do think it's a humdinger of an idea. If there is a come-uppance of dueling, people would go out of their way to be polite and respectful. Rude people would get into duels and be killed, people with gumption would videotape it and make a T.V. show, and we would once again have respect for others in society. It is tomfoolery to believe that our society is more highfalutin or hunkey-dory than it was a few hundred years ago. If the criminality of our society gets you hogflustered, and you want to stop it, challenge the next rabblerouser to a duel or bout of fisticuffs. If he is discombobulated, afraid you will go hog-wild on him, make the duel set for the next morning. Now he does get to pick the weapon, as he was the one being challenged, but with any luck you will still beat him, and he will either be dirt-napping or go to the hospital. If dueling was legalized, this world would be a much nicer place, and we could enjoy our vittles in peace. And one thing's for sure: without this mollycoddle of hodge-podge gullywashers boondoggling us, criminality wouldn't lollygag to the calaboose.

October 15th, 2006: taken from my old blog

In the news yesterday, there was a story about how a woman insulted a man, and the man attacked her, leaving her with scratches on her face. I cannot believe how far our society has degenerated in the last 50 years, and I think I know why.

Men are becoming like girls.

I don't mean this in a demeaning way toward women, I respect women and would never do anything to harm one. But men and women are different. Biologically they will never act the same, and the pansy guys being brought up by their single mothers in today's society are not taught this. They are told that they should help with house chores, that the wife is expected to work, and emotional and femminine guys are often the one's being emulated. Guys often wear femminine clothing now, and more are wearing make-up, going to tanning salons, and other crap. If I see a pair of guys wearing white shorts, I don't know for sure if they are gay or not anymore.

Guy's don't have a femminine side, they are men, just as dog's don't have a cat side. They are different animals, so to speak. I believe that men should never speak disrespectfully of women, as so many do in today's society, and that they should never physically engage one, no matter what she did. In the news story, the man scratched the woman. Now we are even fighting like girls? How DARE we. Long ago men seen doing something like this would be immediately killed in a duel. I say bring the duel back, it's about time. We have not evolved past the duel, we have simply degenerated to disrespecting other people without thought, or even physically harming women.

In the 1800's, many books talked about self-respect. Now we talk about self-esteem. What is the difference between the two? Self respect is important as it makes one live a respectable life, be a good role model, and take responsibility for their actions, while good self-esteem is possible without any of these good traits.

This is not entirely the men's fault. We were taught to believe that men and women should be treated equally in every way. This was done by the women's rights and femminist movement. Many of these women hated men for abuse they suffered as a child, and therefore gave no men any respect. Then divorce rates shot up, with men not loving their wives due to the lack of respect and distain that they were being looked upon with, and more and more single mothers were raising their sons with no father figure to teach them how women should be treated. Men reason that if women are the same as men, they should be treated equal in every way. We still don't treat women exactly the same as men, such as casually punching someone in the arm as a greeting, or insulting each other for fun, but that is coming.

Don't get me wrong: women are EQUAL to men, but different. They should be treated with more respect, as they are not as capable at defending themselves, and I think that the man of the family should be the only one having to work in the corporate world, and that the woman should be the one making decisions relating to the home. Sure, some women can physically defend themselves and provide enough money to comfortably support a family, but those are the ugly ones. Whoops, I didn't mean to type that out-loud. See how this is even effecting ME? Men have excepted the idea of treating women the same as men because it is EASY for them to do. They no longer have to make enough money to completely support the family, they don't have to watch their language around women, and they can take out their anger on them when they get angry.

Men biologically want and need respect. This is a deciding factor in most men's careers. They also naturally want power. Women are biologically inclined to want and need security and love. As women become more like men, men become more like women, and everyone loses.
