Should I Want to Fight Voltaire?

The Question: You would fight Voltaire? Really? What the hell did he do to you?

Ok ok slow down... I'm not a frog and you're not a bunny so let's not jump ahead... I actually think my defiant views are parallel with his... He believed the government and church to be corrupt(any arguments here?), the commoners (like me) to be fools for the most part, he distrusted the concept of democracy because the people were not smart enough to decide how things should be ran(go figure), he disagreed with censorship, exc. (smart dude)...

However, I want to challenge him to a Thunder Dome brawl to see if he has the courage to stand by his convictions in a life or death situation...I wanna see what he's made of... Maybe he overheard his ideologies in an open air market, jotted them down in his writings, did some foofy French public relations, and got his ass inadvertantly glorified and put in the history books... Maybe he was a coward? Maybe he was a badass? Dunno... I just think anyone who stands for the things he advocated should be able to take a right cross or two... Ask Lincoln or Jefferson... If he folds on his views after a clean shot to the gut than I feel things like that are worth mentioning in the history books too... Or maybe he is all he's cracked up to be... I will never truly know unless I fight him... to the death... I just can't help but be suspicious of him...

To answer your question though...he didn't do anything to me...

  1. I think Voltaire could scrap bro. He did serve time in the Bastille, which as I understand it was like the Los Vegas of 18th century dungeons. You know... what happens in the Bastille stays in the Bastille.

    Anyway you might have a fight on your hands, but there's always those crazy weapons that run on pig shit that you can use against him. He lived in the 18th century. Like wtf is he gonna do with a chainsaw? Although he may get that wicked bat with a nail in it... that be pretty sick.

    In any case I'm pretty sure he'd throw down. He was a believer in god just not a nice or even fair god. Some kind of master designer with no clear moral path. Him fighting you in the post nuke playground of thunder-dome might be his last fuck you to god, the world and the people in it.

    He just seems like the kinda of guy that would spit blood in your face as you were stabbing him to death.

  2. Ya but what Frenchman wouldn't spit blood in my face? I don't know... I was looking at his portraits... He doesn't strike me as a stone cold hardened prison survivor... It's possible he was someone's bitch on the inside... I hope he would throw down... but I still have my doubts...
