Can I add that it's hysterical that the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword" came into being back when illiteracy was still common?
Reading Twitter, I'm not sure if thats still the case
Thats probably why it was mighty.
Supply and demand. Any brute could swing a sword in those days
well, i mean, you can see how mighty trumps words have become, they change the space time continuum n shit xD
The CAPSLOCK key is mightier than the normal volume sentence.
Nowadays... everyone can write (though not very well... if you read articles these days), but few can swing a sword.
but swords are pretty light
a long sword is like 1.4 kg or such
@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.
really? I would have thought only a rapier or something would be light
but when of them basterdswords looks heavy
i have to check again, but a longsword is really light
I think society would be safer if everyone carried a sword.
never tried to use a rapier, but its probably lighter
People would have to learn to control their anger...
A regular, narrow strip longsword is pretty light. Now a big old broadsword probably weighs a good deal.
I'll stab you good!
And... everyone would be armed to. So, one-man-attacks wouldn't work.
Potato peelers for everyone. As an Irishman I find it highly offensive they would class this as a deadly weapon. It's our national weapon
well... best way to make a society work is to make sure everyone has the same values, which is why multiculture always lead to people fighting each other
I thought that was the broken bottle.
lack of shared values
Is it a weapon though? or a human right? how are you supposed to EAT a potato without a potato peeler?
wash it? :D
You can eat them without peeling, you know
Same as you eat a potato with one.
What if I'm out and about... and come across potatoes that need eating?
Fried.
How many potatos does it take to kill an Irishman?
None
Pfft.
maybe you can just use a non-sharp knife with no pointy thing? :D
It's a good thing for the Irish that they weren't introduced to vodka sooner.
If you can find potatoes, you can probably find a stream to wash them in as well
I lived with poor people and ate potatoes multiple times a day ones...
We have potcheen, much better
it felt... awful.
"Do we eat them or do we drink them?"
