I'd imagine someone walking into my room would be enough of a cultural shock that they would be paralyzed. In the event they are an anime fan, it'd be like the monkey who tries to get the fruit out of the coconut, so I'd have plenty of time to stop them in the act

Remind me never to make you angry.

Hello irony, I didn't expect to see you in this thread.

I wasn't referring to claymores used for combat, I was referring to the weight you would need to decapitate. I'm a firm disbeliever in a katana that can decapitate in one swing.

There are tatami cutting mats made to the approximate density of arms, necks, and even torsos. A good swing with a good sword can cut them.

I mean, you think evolution decided the neck should be resistant to razor sharp metal sticks?

If you guys want me to give it a try, I have a younger brother.

im am a human weapon.

by which i mean full on body tackles and punching of the throat.

Commiefornia? lol, I heard about that. Here in Cali I have to kill the person and they have to be all the way in my house, I think. It could just be that I'll get arrested just by telling the person I have firearms.

No, but there's a reason they used big, heavy axes to lop off heads. Though there are certainly swords sharp enough to lop off a head, doing it with untrained hands in a dark room and the target definitely not wanting to lose his head would make a one-shot beheading difficult. Tatami cutting mats don't move.

The philosophy of pacifism is subject to varied interpretation and reasonable suspension.

That's exactly why I said a good cut. I never said he'd make one.

No, thinking that would be just silly. Cold War-era mad scientists made the neck resistant to razor sharp metal sticks.

That, or one of the Five Chinese Brothers.

Canadian huh?... I kinda wish I didn't know exactly what case you were talking about... and wish it wasn't true

uh... I have two highly trained ninja attack cats amongst other things

I have a 9mm, 3 knives and 2 7 irons within arms reach of where I sleep. I also have at least 1 knife in every room of my house. It comes from years of being homeless/living in bad neighborhoods

Just think of the lives their sacrifice will save. At least a couple burglars.

I didn't know the Soviets planned to utilize metal sticks. Those cunning Ruskies.

Buddha. Killing. Does not compute.
(And yes I realize the intricacies of pacifism can allow for people to defend themselves, etc, it's just rather ironic).

I don't get angry. I'm too cold-blooded. Y'know, Vyper and all that...

It depends on the type of swing and what section of the blade you use. You can dramatically increase the power of a swing with a proper grip, plus proper movement of hands, wrists and body.

Canada has a love hate relationship with guns. No gun law have ever stopped criminals from having guns. They only stop the good people from having them.

A man in Canada who legally owns his guns and follows the rules (you have to have them locked up), his house was being fire bombed. So he unlocks his guns and loaded them as he made his way to door. Then the people attacking threw another fire bomb at him. So he fired into a tree and at the ground. Cops come and arrest him! Then they drop the charge of firing his gun but charged him because it was to easy for him to get out of bed, unlock his guns and load them.

I guess he should have just waited for his house to be burned down.

That, or what Tarantino film it is.

Same with the US really. It's a massive and thriving industry, but there is plenty of anti-gun sentiment flooding the country. I know all about that story, don't need to tell it to me. I read about it a long time ago, scary the way the government wants us all to be so weak and helpless.

Oh, well I'm also not a pacifist or a Buddhist if that clears it up for you.

Sorry about that, wasn't sure if you knew about it or not. Theres hundreds of stories just like that in America and Canada over the years.

Anyways I think I might have gone alittle to political about the issue so no need to go one about gun laws and such.

Ehh, I'm a gun owner in Commiefornia. It's always political here.

As long as you kill the intruder, you win! Now, can you kill a man that just want your material possessions?

I'll kill anyone who touches my Xena or Britney Spears merch.
