I feel like we're about to be the bully that all the nerds band together to kick the shit out of.
my buddy put it well (with regards to a nuclear Iran and/or any other mooslim state) : it's like a schoolyard bully. every day the bully picks on the same nerd. every day, same thing. stomp this same nerd over and over and over. finally one day the bully gets word through the grapevine that the nerd has told a few of his nerd buddies that he's thinking about getting a pocketknife and the next time that bully comes to stomp him in the schoolyard, he's gonna cut that motherfucker. now, what sounds like a more reasonable way for the bully to handle this? he can either A: gather up a few of his bully friends and stomp that nerd so hard he'll be too scared to go get his pocketknife, or B: just stop fucking with the nerd all together and the kid won't have a reason to pull a knife in the first place. you decide.
