[i] Yes we all heard that line, but is it true? what is your insight on this? me personally... Ill grab a sword, you grab a pen and lets see who wins =)
If it was Me vs. You, I would take the pen, run around You and stab you in the throat.
If it was Me vs. a Nation, I would take the pen, write enough propaganda to have every person supporting you turn sides, and then stab you in the throat.
If it was Me vs. the Past, I would take the pen, write my apologies, thanks, and regards, mail them out to everyone I knew, and change the future.
If it was Me vs. the Present, I would take the pen, write my final paper in this law class I'm taking and get an A.
If it was Me vs. the Future, I would take the pen, sit down looking at a blank sheet of paper, and start with the words "To whomever is reading this, when this was written, the world was a different place..."
If it was Me vs. Me without a pen.... I'd start running.
Hm. Art has a great deal of impact on the world, and it is pretty difficult (not impossible) to make art with a sword. That, and what the others who also say pen said.
The pen have always been mightier than the sword, but it have also always been the most dangerous weapon, both for the wielder and the opponent. People have been killed for writing texts, as well as been killed because other have written about them.
forget pens and swords, i could reak just as much havok with a 50. call. the new phrase should be something like "Is a college professor mightier than a Sniper Rifle?"
Dudes a gun can only kill when it has ammo so what value does a gun have without ammo? Absolutely Nothing at ALL! but with a Pen you could convince a whole state and start a propaganda with only a pen but if Chuck Norris wields the Pen he could kill the whole world! XD
