Anyone who doesn't think the pen is mightier then the sword has never been stabbed in the neck with a pen!!  :rock


Besides, try using a blood soaked sword to wright with, messy.

Show me a pen that can stand up to a sword in an even fight.  The sword always wins.  Now, if you throw the pen at your adversary and strike him in his eye or throat, then the pen is mightier than the sword.

  You use this proverb to say that you can solve problems or achieve your purpose better and more effectively through communication with words than by violence with weapons. Edward George Bulwer Lytton (1803-1873), an English novelist, wrote this for the first time in 1839. He wrote, "Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword."

Ironically he got stabbed by a sword 3 hours later.

No, I'm fairly certian that WWII contradicts you there. Or at the very least, hitler does.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

You can use a sword to kill a man, or use a pen to sign the orders to kill thousands.
