Como católico, también condeno los duelos, porque son en el fondo el odio hacia el otro, al asesinato adornado. Sin embargo, es una parte simbólica importante de nuestra civilización, sin olvidar que los duelos pueden ser convocados o usados para cometer una injusticia y aprovecharse de otro.

in medieval times, professional armies were not big, they needed to gather peasants and monks to defend their country or just war. today, the country already has their own professional army, unless it is broken and needs support from civilians

Well, now I learned two things: 1. Being a duelist was for some males the medieval equivalent of hitting the gym when you have to handle some anger issues or violence tendency. 2. Make Tyson was right on how disrespect used to be fought indirectly by the chance of being punched in the face.

I think Tocqueville’s comments on how individualism can devolve into hedonism b/c of a lack of social bonds is very insightful. (It seems that one of the often repeated remedies to excessive hedonism is an appeal to social bonds: “What would your mother say if she saw you doing that?”, “What would your friends at church think?”, etc. (The eroding of this check by a “no judgment here” mentality is unhelpful. Hopefully this phenomenon will become more obvious and spur us to self-reflection at last.)

No dishwasher, no tap water (probably the biggest one), no laundry machine. Handmade cloths, handmade lighting (rush lights), hand hewn firewood for heating. Mostly handmade tools (handles, wooden rakes, pitchforks, brooms, carts, baskets), handmade furniture, handmade home. There was always something that needed fixing. I’m sure they had enough to do in their “free time”.

Imagine, you are coming home form a long travel to see your wife and young children. You need to work diligently to plant your crops so your family will not starve, but there are "honorable gentlemen with dignity and respect" challenging you to a duel at a bridge. You have a duty to your family to provide for them and work your land, and you are not skilled at jousting, but in order to appease the sick and twisted social pressures of "honor", you must enter a fight that will kill you and leave your children fatherless and your bride a widow. This video is a farce and is promoting evil and destructive behavior. A society must establish laws based on morals, and as a group, you can put down the evil within your group. The law "An eye for an eye" is a limiting law because by nature of brutes, they would murder for an insult and murder a family for the loss of an eye.

It was because young men were throwing their lives away over petty pride that dueling was outlawed.

@@Sylentmana Many good and reasonable things were and are outlawed and people were and are making bad new laws, that's a terrible point, Karen. Young men were throwing their lives away in war, not in duels which were pretty rare and didn't always end up deadly. Today, people still are still dueling but "legally" in sports like boxing or MMA which are much more dangerous and brutal than duels back then and they still do it over pride/honor. So your terrible argument of "everything earlier = bad, everything now = good" is not only missing the point but devaluating it.

It is still like this today. Research "Cracker Culture" to see how the history of dueling and "ruff and tumble" fighting was the precursor of today murders over being "dissed". This video is romanticizing uncivil rule by force and not by morals or laws. This cracker culture is also the source of lynching or mob murder without trial. A righteous man is more likely to overlook an insult. This is directly taught by God. Dueling among wrathful and wicked families have always, and all over the globe, lead to long family or clan feuds. Some clans in Papua New Guinea halfheartedly cast spears at each other because they are under this same cultural pressure, but they also seek the help of Australia's government to constrain them. The cause of the feud was long forgotten and they long for the real answer: rule by law.

God granting Israel a King was an act of judgment (Hosea 13:11); Israel was a theonomic republic prior to King Saul (Exodus 18:21). The Scots, Anglo Saxons, and English elected their kings through popular sovereignty; the Normans instituted the divine right of kings and hereditary succession in the British isles.

But that’s about it. Being a serf is not a great deal. Capitalism and industrialization ripped the little autonomy peasants had, destroying their communities and shoving them into slums working 100 hours weeks for a potato. Time for socialism!

It seems likely that, in the comptition among religions, the next one to emerge as predominate in Europe may be Islam and the next one to emerge as predominate in the Unites States is more likely to be the worship of Mother Earth than the worship of the godddess of Reason. It didn't dawn on me until a few years ago, but the word, "Chrisitianity", is understood among English speaking people as a collection of traditions that have more in common with the polytheistic Romans of two thousand years ago than with the teachings of Jesus. How many of the professed "Christians" of your acquaiintance have even read the Gospels for themselves? I mean evrything Matthew, Mark, Luke and John wrote about what Jesus said. There may be some, hundreds of thousands, even. But that is a tiny fraction of the more than one billion people who profess to be Christians. Pitiful!
