hehe...this is bound to make some people think...
i prefer blades over firearms. sure, with a gun you can kill quicker, faster, and easier. but with a blade you must possess skill, art, and devotion. and i'm not talking about serial killers that slash madly. i mean as in kenjutsu. man...i love watching the kendo masters display their techniques. they are so graceful...so fluid...one with their swords...it's poetry in motion. guns are just too easy. even an idiot like osama bin ladin can use one. hell, I can use one, and i am the epitomy of klutziness. XD
well, that's my opinion. i'd like to hear yours. =)
