        they only had good faith leaders long after the pieces of shit had set the world up in a way where everything would be shit unless someone had some sort of cold storage device for humans that would wake them up 500 years later

      Kropp on the other hand is a thinker. He proposes that a declaration of war should be a kind of popular festival with entrance-tickets and bands, like a bull-fight. Then in the arena the ministers and generals of the two countries, dressed in bathing-drawers and armed with clubs, can have it out among themselves.

    Okay but I want to be on that fight card. I have challenged Stephen Miller dozens, maybe even hundreds, of times at this point.

      Ironically, I actually saw the cage fight where The Undertaker took out Mankind. I was visiting someone who was a big WWF fan and they had it playing.

      Non-scripted fighting? Can’t say I’ve ever watched that.

    This is our regularly scheduled reminder that we absolutely need celebrity death match to be brought back.

    Someone just rip the idea off if the rights are unattainable.

      I’d like to see anyone clobber PeeWee Himmler, but I’d prefer it to be a minority, and/or a woman. I’d LOVE to see an Abuela beat him into a sobbing fetal position with a chancla.

      One of the first big civ’s in SEA ( I forgot if it was the harrapans or in (one of?) the first megacity, near present day angkor wat), The king had to climb a pretty steep climb after every day of work, so if they got really old or glutonous, he couldnt use the kings house and thus not be king anymore. Obv the idea is flawed, but I kind of like the idea of a built in physical test, that would disqualify you from a position of serious power if you fail to pass it.

    Just gotta say, the last time I remember two politicians challenging each other to a fight, one of them was Justin Trudeau.

        It was Patrick Brazeau, a Conservative shitheel who was in hot water at the time for financial crimes and sexual assault. They eventually framed it as a contest for charity, and Trudeau kicked his ass.
