Unity - the left’s new term for subjugation.

I’m more fond of the story of Daniel.

it was actually about honor not pride. Military used it too.
Duels were done not really to kill the opponent.

I prefer the story of Daniel as well. The story of David however, has a notable duel which is more apropos to the topic of dueling I believe.

The left’s idea of unity is like islam’s idea of peace.
Submission to their agenda. No dissent allowed.

They often did kill the opponent, though.
I don’t see much difference between the desire that one’s ‘honor’ be recognized, and Pride.
It was stupid and wasteful.

Well said, but I would have put it down as “the peace of the grave”.

It had more to do with something called “honor”, sir.

To repeat myself, I don’t see much difference between the desire that one’s ‘honor’ be recognized, and Pride.
Your honor is a matter between you and your God. Having to prove it on the Earth is just a matter of Pride.

Dr. Harris is the best we have to offer in Maryland. He’s also a pretty big dude.

Really? So each duelist aimed only to injure, not kill?
I didn’t know that!
