It's not about reconsidering points of view, because the fact is that we are all weak organic meatbags that can be silenced with so little effort, that it's not even funny. Bullets don't care about your ideology and whatnot, they are equally unpleasant to all form of life regardless of their political orientation.



I don't have any say in the physical world, so I just leave it for those who are at least somewhat competent in dealing with that sort of things. Just like I leave it mages to do all things magical, and do not attempt such feats myself.

The only thing I can handle is the intellectual world, but then again there's nothing intellectually to be done when someone shoves their fist to my face, sticks a knife to my stomach or shoots me with a gun. No matter what manner of intellectual arguments I choose to use, they can always be countered simply by causing unwanted damage to my person.



If you ask me, we haven't really come that far from those times. If someone decides to remove you by force, and they have the means to do so, your opinion of it doesn't protect you worth a damn. Of course it's wrong and brutal, but it can still be done, and it will always be done.

My reply won't be long cos it seems that we have already expressed our points of view & I don't want to repeat mine for the next twenty pages.

Thank you for your opinion Aquaplant. You choose to be weak. You have the right to. Free choice.

Me, I am a survivor - & I choose something else.
