    Browsing the web before class, I came across this news story.

    Forget guns, real men solve their disputes with swords.

    lol I don`t know if proportionate force applies in that situation.

    Guns can be more humane if you`re trying to kill someone but a sword is just more honorable.

    is it really more honorable? sure more manly cause you see their eyes and facial expressions as you fight them, but when you finally land a finishing blow they roll around on the ground crying out before they die....
