And here do not agree with you, sir. No-s.
Russian Roulette is not a suicide. On the contrary!
This is - a game for the possession of life.

I think - or rather I am - that's what you have written above is elementary and foolishly disregard of human life that we all the same, given Over (without delving deeper into this philosophical question.) Well, perhaps we have not lost a whole list of brilliant, worthy and potentially promising people like pranks, like the one you speak of ... a duel? We all know at least about Pushkin, Lermontov, etc. - And says nothing about how many popular history? But these arrogant and misguided young people, motivated solely emotions, false and pseudo-romantic impulses of honor, could be distinguished servants of our country, and not just ours. 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
