So they want to legalize duels in SC at the same time as legalizing adultery.

Don't ask me how the URL got messed up.

I'm not sure I see the problem ...

[EagleUSA]

See, there were liberals in the ole days....

[knarf]

Leave every one right where it is

The enemy has gotten passed some pretty stupid laws that they use against the Conservative

[Olog-hai]

Which part?

[faithhopecharity]

Makes sense.

[Olog-hai]

Certainly were. Not just thanks to Marx and Engels putting out bizarre literature a few decades earlier than the advent of such laws as these.

[Verginius Rufus]

I figured the title referred to the ex-President.

"Bill Clinton repeals outdated laws on sex, Sunday work, dancing."

[NorthMountain]

It sort of goes together ... Legalize dueling, AND legalize a highly likely provocation for a duel.

In 1989, I lived in Virginia. The blue Laws were done away with...and IIRC, plain, old fornication was no longer a crime.

[Cicero]

Can we duel with Samurai katanas?

[Olog-hai]

Didn’t think of those as fencing weapons.

Also funny how in Japanese, the word “katana” is spelled with the same Han character as “knife” in Mandarin.

I don’t see how these laws are “outdated”. Unpopular, maybe, but not outdated. An outdated law would have to do with say, minimum wage for the guys who maintain outdoor gaslamps, when there are no gas lamps, and never will be again due to changes in city lighting. All of these social values on adultery and dueling can easily go in either direction. I’m against dueling, but a a serious libertarian could come up with an argument as long as there is no coercion (other than honor) between the parties.

So, now they can have pole dancing sex workers on Sundays?...................

[PAR35]

"One that dates to 1880 makes adultery ... illegal."

Nikki's probably going to sign that one if it gets to her desk.

[VanDeKoik]

So you are for laws that make it illegal to work or dance on a Sunday?

[[And it’s illegal to challenge anyone to a sword or gun fight]]

Crap! Well, can we at least fart in their general direction?
