Uttryck XIV / Expression XIV


This post will be entirely in English because it has come to my attention that about and exactly 30% of our readers are living other countries than Sweden. Not really, but I do dream in English sometimes and that's as true as the statement above.

WWII, The Vietnam "conflict", the French banana war, The ongoing Israel and Palestine conflict, and to think they could've all have been solved with the use of pens. Yes I'm talking about the totally useless expression "The pen is mightier than the sword". How could someone even come up with this? How high do you have to be? A Pen? against...a sword?!

What can you possibly do with a pen? Write on you enemies until they get poisioned by the ink getting absorbed into their skin? Write about them? Make up shitty stories about them so they get filled with self hate and low self esteem and eventually kill themselves? Both these methods would work of course. Hmm maybe the pen isn't so bad after all... Although these are awesome killingmethods they wouldn't stand a chance at the power and reach of the sword. And also let us not forget the coolness factor of the sword. Say you have two superheroes, one with a giant fuckoff sword in his hands and the other one standing with pen ready to write the shit out of everything. Which would you pick to rescue you from getting raped? Yeah see...the pen is useless.
