Discussion
It came up through the presentation that Vikings were mandated to won a weapon. It was law. WE discussed this and it's advantages and disadvantages. We talked on how this is similar in thinking and contrasting to other countries today. The United States gun laws and rights came up. We discussed both sides trying to understand. We talked about rights and freedoms and their importance to us and how we are lucky here in Canada. We talked about various countries of North Africa and the Middle East and regimes, extremists and militaries.
We also discussed the basics with their judicial system (counsels, things, althingi, althing)
