not exactly a widely used form of debate

5. And besides, they were mostly about sex

or as they say 'honor'

3. Another F in History for Sarah. The fact that she's not very bright

doesn't surprise me but you'd think she's try to find some folks with brains to advise her.

6. But if she came across as smart she'd probably lose her 25%

People who like the idea that their leaders are dumber then they are

4. The Last Fatal Duel by the BBC

Was a Duel fought between An Asshole Banker and a Merchant over
his Credit Rating . The Documentary is surprisingly good.



After quarreling over a bank loan, two men took part in the last fatal duel staged on Scottish soil. BBC News’s James Landale retraces the steps of his ancestor, who made that final challenge.

On 23 August 1826, two men met at dawn in a field just outside Kirkcaldy in southern Fife. Only one walked away alive. One was David Landale, a linen merchant and pillar of the community. The other was George Morgan, a soldier-turned-banker with a fiery temper.

The pair had quarreled over a bank loan, an argument that had led the banker to spread rumors about his client’s creditworthiness. The merchant had in turn taken his accounts elsewhere and written a stiff letter of complaint to the Bank of Scotland headquarters in Edinburgh.

And that is where it would have stayed had not Morgan’s temper got the better of him one morning when he struck Landale about the head with an umbrella in Kirkcaldy High Street.
