Why duel prohibited by law, and suicide is regarded by the Church as the greatest sin and crime (... endures to the end shall be saved - Mt. 10:22)? Can real and most loyal companions of the duelists have not tried the last effort to dissuade those "fools-fighters" from such a crazy and extreme measures, dispute resolution, and retribution absurd insults? If the concept duelizma still somehow be considered in the context of the male code of honor, the "Russian Roulette" - nothing less than a complete and linear rejection of reason and basic human natural instincts. In the vast majority, as I understand, the cases playing Russian roulette with the inevitable "drunken" (including, in the literal sense) perception of reality and the complete lack of common sense and prudence.

P.S. There is a good movie with De Niro which addressed this topic - The Deer Hunter

Against your high moral argument , dear friend, oppose something , immediately , is extremely difficult.
But you can !
In all that you have written has everything , everything except the most important - makes sense! Meaning of human existence. Life!
Not you, nor I to say to that unfortunately we can not. Therefore, the choice we make raising the trigger revolver , Or wisely recanting danger this choice , to the great happiness belongs not to us , but the fact that we call - Providence , independent of our will, and our Samoa.
A kill themselves naturally bad. But I still think that the Russian roulette and the duel is not a suicide. This is if you want poetry of life . No wonder this great abuse .
Ideally , death should not be afraid to love and not simultaneously.
But this is an ideal ...

The only thing that can oppose it ... Quite frankly , you are ready to say that could ever make muzzle of the revolver to his head and " try their luck " ?

It's not luck . This - " fun" for psychopaths. You know, there are those American (mostly ) films, the plot of which many are trying to understand , and somehow justify. But, you know , it turns out, nothing. In the story the main character ( the head of mafia ) - idiot and egomaniac psychopath . In general, as the saying goes - all in one ... he's still an addict - pedant who uses pure heroin . It's simple. The plot of the film about a person, and all that he gets up. My opinion is that it is pointless to try to justify what justified from the point of view of common sense , you can not .. can not .

Oh, my dear friend , if I was willing to do it and so easily , I would not for a moment and began to rant to you about it .
While, however, I had a couple of moments in life when I was going to try TS instinct of self-preservation . But this is a different matter, and I will tell you this in person. >

And in my naive view , Roulette comes into play when a person starts feel fate. The reasons are varied , but it is a kind of choice, so to speak. Good or bad (not suicide is IMHO ) to decide , not us, and above all those who dared to it . Also - this is not cowardice, but most of our action, one way or another , connected with cowardice.
