In this video I discuss the idea that duels of honor discourage rude behavior and make people less overly sensitive. Does historical reality support that claim, or did gentlemen of the old days get rather violently offended? And would people nowadays settle their political disputes or arguments over who has the better waifu with swords or pistols if it was legal?
