The guy on the left is admiring a flock of ducks that just took off.

I still dont understand how someone could have more hair on their upper arm and shoulders than on their forearm... :huh:

It's the result of bear genetics in his pedigree.

Not really the issue here. If it's to extend your own life and to feed upon the animal (which I deem unnecessary, but people do and I respect that opinion) then it's fine. If it's to derive pleasure from the suffering of a living creature, that's something else.

But yes, I'm a vegetarian.

I would have to use a Steel ruler (30 cm) and a BB gun which is broken :sweatdrop:

I have a knife which is not easily accessible and blunt which won't do much good.

Hopefully the BB gun bluff works

Isn't it illegal to have a knife that's more than like 6 inches long in Japan unless you have permission?

It seems that way after the incident in Akihabara. Though I think only dagger knifes and stuff purely for stabbing people/ things are banned. Cooking knife is okay I hope.
The knife I have is small vegetable knife which haven't been used for years.

From his comments in other threads I'm fairly sure he does eat them.

Meh. I'll just grab my Bernelli M2 Shotty. That would probably do the trick.

That's not my point. There's a difference in killing something because you need it, and killing something because you like killing.

And what leads you to assume that? From what he posted he wasn't laughing at killing animals, but chuckling at the fact that any intruder would be met with a 'tried and true' weapon.

CR

I thought he was laughing at the fact that he would be using a tool, rather than his deadly weapons because he doesn't want them getting dirty.

In the event of an emergency my weapon of choice would most likely be a cricket bat, or some random tool that I forgot to pack away.

Come to think of it, a cauldron of boiling oil might do better at the top of the stairs. :knight:

Wait, are we repulsing burglars or fighting zombies?

Edit: I've got a tactical baton obtained from a relative in Law Enforcement.

Now I'm curious. What exactly is a tactical baton? An ASP?

i'm guessing a 4x Dcell maglite should do the job, but i have easily cleanable wooden floors downstairs so the katana is appealing.

I have one of those maglites and they're quite handy. Not quite as useful as say a baseball or cricket bat but good enough. :yes:

I have a kukri.

Good stuff. :yes:

And a Ruger .357 Blackhawk. :beam:

In case of zombie attacks I have a number of gardening implements.

I have an umbrella, one quick jab and he goes down.

No messy questions about lethal force either. Killing intruders isn't actually a good idea, I'm surprised no one has pointed this out yet.

Wouldn't it be self defense? I mean he was a intruder after all.

Only in countries with realistic self-defence laws.

If you can prove he's entering, not leaving, and you have reason to fear for your life.

Anyway, I'm extremely disturbed the cavalier attitude here and the lack of concern for human life.

They've broken into your house. By doing so they have made their own decision and are responsible for the consequences. If that involves them being shot and killed, In nations with sensible laws, the person defending should never be considered a criminal for defending with lethal force their family and property.

They make their choices, and we make ours. When confronted with an intruder you can pick up a sword or a staff; that choice is yours and you have to live with the consequences.

I am willing to kill under certain circumstances, but I do not take such things lightly.

Given that choice, if you pick up a staff and go after someone who's broken into your house, you are an utter fool.

Killing is indeed something never, ever to be taken lightly, but given the right circumstances one absolutely must be willing and able to make that choice to defend their family. Someone who cannot has no business having a family, IMO.
