Verstappen's Kitzbühel F1 Race On Snow Covered Ski Slope
This is the same difference as a broadsword trying to slice through a pillow and a sabre trying to cut through wood.
I'd like to see how Aksel would do on the racetrack.
The Man who Fought with a Longbow and a Sword in WWII
Darn animator drawing a sabre instead of a broadsword!
PS: Awesome story! Definitely needs a movie!

Retired police Captain demolishes the War on Drugs
I agree with you most of the way. I have nothing against gun owners or people having guns in a responsible way. It seems there's a definition question about what is "a responsible way" though -- I don't think being able to carry weapons in public is a responsible way. Sure, taking them to a gun range in a secure case or firing on your private property (as long as the projectiles don't leave your property when you shoot) is just fine by me. Even in certain areas you should be able to carry it for protection from wild life (this does not mean the bronx..). I'm cool with you having a rifle with you in a place where you could reasonably run into a bear or mountain lion.
If you have a proper permit, you can even be allowed to hunt for deer or some stuff like that.
These are all reasonable to me.
Carrying a pistol concealed or otherwise in a city seems reckless and dangerous to me. If nothing else, you can scare other people into doing things they should not do - since they may not have proper gun training. It's the same reason you don't run around with a broadsword in public - a gun is basically, point, click, dead. That tend to make people antsy.
First off you're the third person on here that I've gotten into a discussion about guns. All 3 have called me names while I continue to be polite.
Second your bigoted comment is very offensive not just to me who works with special needs adults but anyone with down syndrom, says a lot about you.
Third, while I used to light up a joint at the end of the day and chill out and have nothing against it, I like to take my guns to the range to "take the edge off, to relax after a hard day." What I do with my guns is legal and fun. Legal gun owners are not the villians that bigots and others try to potray them as.
Guns are used in so many sporting ways I can't even list them all but the olympics is a big one.
You've already been called out on your knowledge of history so I won't bother.
I live in Canada and have been raised by a very "left wing" family. I have a close hippy aunt and uncle who live in a community of american draft dogers. My parents always vote for the left. I grew up with those ideals and choose to work with people with autism. Doesn't pay much but it's satisfying and giving back, so your comment about me being "right wing" is pretty far off.
Legal gun owners are not evil. They want the same things as most people including the best tool for self defense (which we're not allowed to use in Canada). We in Canada like to hunt and target shoot at paper. Nothing about that is evil. Learn some facts instead of making bigioted sweeping comments.
Good day.
Robert Reich explains the Fiscal Cliff in 150 seconds
I have a fantasy where political battles fought are between a group of compassionate, well informed people with reasoned arguments that they actually understand. But also with broadswords.....
Maybe it's effective, but the lack of depth here is also insulting. We just went through an election; I'm sick of talking points.
I have a fantasy where the US political battles fought are between a group of compassionate, well informed people with reasoned arguments that they actually understand, and a group that parrots the talking points of their leaders.
I'm such a sap.
What good is victory if no one understands what they have won?

Critical Mass to Melt Down (Mystery Talk Post)
I will take power, carve out the cancerous elements with a broadsword and use Videosift to invade other videosites, and in the end create a grand Video Empire the likes of which the world has never seen!
AK-47 vs M-16
This is the new katana vs. broadsword or pirates vs. ninja debate! I love it! Fascinating stuff!
High Speed Capture of a Katana Slicing an Apple
Broadsword was far cheaper and easier to make with the same cutting power and therefore far more effective as a military weapon.
High Speed Capture of a Katana Slicing an Apple
Katana, finest sword ever made. Broadswords and their ilk are too brutal, and thought the curve helps in slicing a scimitar just doesn't have the same... grace when it cuts through the air.
Extremely Fast Choreographed Wushu Fight
I remember the last competition I was in, just holding my combat steel broadswords and looking at any and all wushu blades. Those things are practically made of aluminum foil; they're so light, most divisions didn't allow weapons forms with wushu weapons, and a good thing too. Swinging around twin 5 pound swords, then stopping on a dime better not be compared to wiggling a sword lighter than a cardboard cutout. I guess they do serve their purpose of being light and weak, for fancy stuff, though. But the worst wound you would get if fighting against that would be a deep papercut, maybe; it would probably just slap you a bit.
