    Be it funny, serious, inspirational or whatever.


    When you treat people like they treat you, they get upset. (Fancy that!)

    Better to die standing than to live on your knees.

    Nothing is impossible, merely highly improbable
    Common sense isn't. Neither is friendly fire
    Better to have and not need, than to need and not have
    When all is said and done, at the end of the day.....it's tomorrow.

    Guns are just like bikes, better to have some gun than no gun and better to have even a bicycle for lack of a motorcycle.

    I find I must disagree. One gun is a stable situation: one side has power and the other doesn't. Two guns introduces uncertainty: both sides have power and it will accumulate to the first to use it. This is fine on a personal level if you want to throw the dice against a criminal. I remind you, his gun is out and his blood is up. You have neither advantage

    If you want to rebel it's suicidal because the gov't has bigger, better guns Would they nuke one state to preserve the unity of the other fortynine? For sure, the Civil War proved it. Or, if you're planning a more diffuse campaign, the US military will eat you up one bit after another.

    On the whole your proverb sounds like bad game theory unless dying is better than losing.

    Take your chances being armed with a cell phone then, and you better stay off of bicycles because those are dangerous too

    Poorer but alive sounds like a better state than dead and rich. Just an opinion. Don't know about you, but I've always been able to get more cash.

    Never did like to ride my bicycle, too much like exercise. Fat bottom girls are another story.
