Mikey, it's even funnier when you catch LWA folk like Discordians or supposed Anarchists at it, all so locked into NOT agreeing with "the other guys" that they move and think in a herd pattern every bit as predictable, and downright bloody hilarious when you call them on it.

Excellent conflict resolution. Deathmatch makes it sound vulgar, though; duel is more appropriate. And duels are fought with flintlock pistols, or sabers, at dawn. And sometimes with six-shooters at high noon. But never with flails, however spastic and flailing the duelists.
The Code Duello calls for the duelists to be assigned attributes from the Firefly RPG. Randomly rolled dice will then decide who is in the right and reasonable. This is a fair, and persuasive way to resolve disputes. In the alternative, they could trade knock-knock jokes until one submits.

the USA it would seem is NOT a polite country but it sure has lots of guns.
polite? courteous and respect? maybe Thailand, the Japanese, the British used to be known for being polite but that culture decayed got replaced by multi-cultures and hooliganism, Canada ranked up there with Respect, Polite and Good Manners 101. Were Monarchies more respectful, some think Monarchism might have taught its people 'politeness' maybe over time the British became less respectful, the Japanese they say their respect is superficial, some Ex-Pat type will say beneath the respect they are closed and xenophobic and even racist among their own with class and caste.
Almost every website says the French people have become the rudest people you will ever encounter. They say Swedish are unhelpful but Nordic countries can be standof-ish. They Finland is even more culturally cold than Sweden and the Ex-Pat say learning Finnish is difficult, as an English speaker the difficulty learning of languages might be subjective, is it more difficult than Chinese, Arabic or Japanese? Rude maybe Mexico, India, the Chinese, Spaniards, Arab countries in general, although on social media sites some people say Avoid Paris and France is how and they have NEVER experienced rudeness with the French so I guess everywhere is different. Just like all of the USA isnt LA or NewYork maybe every country has local regions with different levels of respect and different attitudes.
