Seems to be a popular activity in some of the more sophisticated locals of the world.

Mankind has always had a primal urge toward combat whether it be war FAKE wrestling ("simulate combat"), kite fighting, etc.

It has always been so and the tendency will outlive us all.

Imagine that? Kids designing and playing with kite lines that can electrocute and/or decapitate you! What's the world coming to? I'm getting too old. I want to crawl back up so throw down your umbilical noose

Because I didn't know:

Cerol kite lines are lines made by combining crushed glass and glue and coating the lines. They are used to cut the lines of other kite flying nearby.
