The pen is mightier than then sword, well is it really?

Question

Ladies would you rather have the former in your hands?

Answer 1

I don't get it?

Answer 2

Let's find out, I'll take the sword and you take the pen and we'll see who wins.

Answer 3

Of course. Basically, a sword is just a sword. With a pen I can sign a law into effect making me the master of all swords in the nation and master of what will be done with them.

Answer 4

I believe that the pen is miter than the sword.

It produces words. Words are more powerful than a sword.

So you may die by getting stabbed in the heart, but about those who get called s**t, w***e, not good enough, go die, or anything such at that? They then have to live with those hurtful words.

Answer 5

It depends.....if people like reading then you can easily influence people with radical ideas.....

In the past though, I feel like it is easier to fight using the latter. Heroes that I know are popular during their time because of sword-fighting and not because they were revolutionary writers.

However, in this day and age---swords (or the physical way of fighting) are not applicable. It is easier to fight people using information...

Answer 6

you can write an inquistor that could start a war. a war an end the world. a sword fails in comparison

Answer 7

Ah, yes, there are times....uh, what were we talking about....oh, yeah...I suppose that I've had more satisfaction and been able to live with myself better when I've used the pen...but dang if there haven't been times I would have killed for a sword...and then killed again.

Answer 8

it makes sense but it's not reasonable.

Answer 9

sword,

is always, and will always , be mightier.

unless your a pro-ninja shank artist,

go for the pen!

...

but seriously,

if sparta had pens, and athens had swords, who would win?

not the spartans.....

my point.

Answer 10

Often times the hand that lifts the sword needs to pick up the pen first

Case in point: propoganda and the war in Iraq

Answer 11

"[I]n such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners."              Albert Camus

Answer 12

Depends on what I need to use it for.

Answer 13

that dont make no sense

Answer 14

Bush Administration chooses the sword in the Middle East rather than diplomacy, but in the US they choose to pay off the pen news organizations for good publicity.  Fox News is their best pen propaganda.

Answer 15

I'll cut your hand off with the sword and then you can tell me that ;)

Answer 16

BWAAAHAHAHA

"pen is"

Answer 17

well yes because wounds can heal but if you hurt some one mentaly thats something that cant heal

Answer 18

I've always had the pen in my hands. I'm a small person; I can't wield any piece of medieval weaponry.

Answer 19

Most people wouldn't know how to use a sword nowadays. (And yes, I have a replica of a 14th century broadsword hanging over my fireplace, in addition to a number of pens.)

Come to think of it, most people don't know how to write nowadays, so I think the vast majority of people are SOL on both scores.

Answer 20

hhah, is this supposed to be sexual?

Answer 21

Depends how sharp the pen was, and whether it had James Bond style deadly poisonous ink inside it :-)

My ex had a Batlaff - I really miss it - I would take that over a pen...
