What does everyone think of this:

There is a park, it has 10 foot thick bullett-proof walls. People go into this park, pay their money, and kill eachother. It is kind of like Paitball, but with real guns.

Is there anything legally wrong with this? If not, what do you think about smoking bans in restaraunts and bars, or other things of that nature?

I'm okay with smoking bans in restaurants, although I believe the "bar culture" leans more towards bars being a smoking establishment.

As for your park idea, I can think of a few people I'd like to go in there with...

If you are ok with the park, why not with smoking in bars?

2 men enter, 1 man leave.

They'd have to be a lot taller than ten feet, for what it's worth.

Oh. The absence of any commas made it difficult for me to infer where exactly they should be be placed.

Just for the hell of it, I'll state the obvious: intentionally killing someone is illegal.

We are all aware of that. I think the question is if we think it should be illegal or not.

Murder of the stupid should be allowed. We could call it a "mercy" killing.

Plus, it'd do wonders for the gene pool and advance the cause of evolution. Maybe our collective adrenal glands will shrink and our collective frontal lobes will increase in size.

Who gets to define who is stupid? Sounds pretty subjective unless you think we should just get rid of everybody that as a I.Q. below a certain score.

But what if someone agrees to it?

Surely, I post in jest.
