READ THIS FIRST: "Cool frickin' post, thanks!" :) To be truthful, I'd hesitate to call that a counter-example to my statement. They are great...
Wow, what a useless post you have there. Okay, I've studied hundreds, possibly thousands, of books of fighting, warfare, weapons, armed and...
Thank you, and I think what I can walk away from this illustration is that it was less was I was saying, and more that I was failing to include...
Hey, I'm not trying to bang your *or* my head against a wall, I was trying to offer a term to add to the lexicon, you took objection, and we went...
Well?
Did you not see the above?
Wow. You sure hear a whole heck of a lot of stuff more than what I'm saying. Judaism is a religion, glad we agree on something. I never once...
