The Vorpal Blade ! (Die Vorpal-Klinge !)


Mensur fencing is a banned tradition, it is still practiced in Austria and some places in Germany by Nazis even if it is illegal, the scars are worn with pride as marks of a warrior, too bad that it has only attracted the Nazis as it then is now connected with an illegal political ideology instead of an old warrior tradition. I find the law banning it stupid, as I believe in personal freedom and property rights of your own body, if one wishes to damage himself for whatever reason and it does not infringe others personal freedom, stupid and dangerous choices are up for the individual to choose, or else the implication is basically that the state owns your body. If one is a firm believer in personal freedom then he must accept what he perceives as other peoples stupid choices.
