      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.

        If you look into that event, its not entirely as scripted as you think, which is partly why it was such a shocking event. Mankind did take a huge risk and I’d argue he very easily could have died.

        You realize that undertaker and mankind in a cage doesn’t exactly narrow it down.

        I know which one you’re talking about, but that was something they did a few times a year from 1996 to roughly 2001.

    We were supposed to see Zuckerberg and musk, but then musks mom said he couldn’t play. Then we were all sad.

    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.

      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.

        I like it. Even if you had a disabled president or leader. They could still have a basic physical ability test. Seems reasonable

      Even if it did it’s just to play poor people, IMO.

      Get me a realtime fact checked debate with real questions from the public!

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

    I mean the vulgarity of the event is obvious. And the mental image of Hunter bitchslapping Jr is enticing.

    However this kind of exchange in itself is so far of the classy scale, more in the trailer park terms of conversation.

        I feel the need to stress that this is not a us thing only. I feel that trying to be better is the inverse of useless, it’s quite essential.

        And we should hold our leaders to that standard.

          That’s nice. I’m ready to fight to win, personally.

          Fight dirty. Pack every court, add seats, gerrymander the life out of every county and up, abuse every rule and gentleman’s agreement. It all ends when those things become enshrined in law. No more wringing hands and strongly worded letters. Sometimes the bully just needs a bitch slap to make the trip back to reality.

          I guess I just value actual ideals and actual action to some kind of misguided, self-imposed, faux-kindness for PR

        Without even a modicum of grace, society crumbles. Honour is still a thing even though it’s been pushed out of sight during this current admin-aggression. See graceless Jane watch society crumble. Crumble society, crumble.

      We should give them a couple of pistols and let them shoot each other instead far more civilized. I’m not even joking, though I’ll add that I’d swap jrs ammo for blanks.

      Hunter is a piece of shit in his own right. The last thing we need is Hunter Biden as our new democratic “champion.” I hoped Jon Stewart would make a play, but I honestly think he’s too much of a bitch.
