This post couldn't be more wrong. You don't have to be a historian to know that a samurai's sword is high quality tempered steel, not iron. You are either seriously lacking in terms of history, or most likely a troll.

Steel is an alloy of iron. I guess you need chemistry lessons too.

Which is then heated, (tempered) to increase the toughness of the metal by removing the hardness and brittleness of the metal. Tempered steel is superior to plain old steel, and leagues ahead of iron. Romans also knew how to make steel, and their swords were made of steel, but it was just plain steel, nothing special about it other than differences of carbon between individual's swords. I personally prefer Roman culture over Japanese culture, but saying that they are pushovers couldn't be more wrong. A samurai would have as much as a chance, if not more due to their supperior 1v1 training.

A shield is definitely a huge advantage for the centurion, and a samurai would have a hard time countering it. Javelins are difficult to aim, especially if the target is moving, so I would say that it would be unlikely to hit, but if it hit the right spot, it would kill. This is why bows are preferred by samurai's, as they are more accurate and they were deadly with them. Like you said, it would largely depend on individual skill and luck, along with terrain.

*suppiorier to steel in strength and cutting ability. Forgot to put that.

It's because most homeless have substance abuse/metnal issues and there's no money to hire the professionals to handle these kind of people for a homeless shelter.

Why do that when you can just send them to the American gulags?

Bit of a dual edged blade though.

You make the shelters with some money, and the spikes to enforce the shelters with some more money, that's great... until you realise that the money you dropped on building the spikes is needed because of the influx of people the shelters need help handling.

In fact, having faced homelessness a few times now, and having gone to shelters before, I'd say that the overcrowding and lack of funding is the biggest problem, and then people that aren't considered 'priorities' are turned back out to the streets to seek out... well, benches, and eaves of buildings.

That now have spikes on them. Spike paid for with taxes that could have expanded the resources of the shelter that just kicked them out.

I get what you're saying in the whole aiding with compliance bit, but the logic once you dig into the subject starts to falter.

Anyway, what do these spikes even do, besides costing tax payer monies? They can just drag a mattress on the spikes, disabling their use. You can find a mattress for free easily, be it a local rubbish dump, some alley or a ditch.

To be honest, mattresses and boards aren't unheard of answers. I've even seen people wedge themselves between the bigger 'spikes' and sleep there.

To be honest, 'spiking' areas is literally trying to sweep the dust under the rug and then claim the room is clean. It's not, you haven't fixed the problem at all in that case.

And inb4 we get the Feminazi fiestas going, I'll lay it out straight.

Getting into shelters usually means you need to fit a specific schedule, racial profile and gender profile.

Women get into unisex shelters more than men do, there are more women' only shelters than there are men only shelters(in fact I don't believe that many even exist), there are also more shelters geared for minorities in the states that can exclude the caucasian community.

Why do you think the standard trope for 'homeless people' is a bedraggled older white guy with a nasty beard and ragged clothes? Because that's who you always see on the streets and the like.

Between daft 'pick and choose' tactics, and putting more work into forcing the homeless out of certain areas or spending tax payers money fining them exorbitant amounts of money for being homeless we waste a lot of what could be used to actually help these people to begin with.

How come there are female only shelters, when 70% of homeless are men? Females have more options as homeless than men. There should only be unisex and unirace shelters. Homeless can't be choosers.

An I wholly agree with you, the homeless can't be choosers, but due to whatever rhetoric about women needing to be protected and the like, and the other rhetoric of the 'macho man' it really does screw over the homeless more than people think.

I see the sexism circlejerks on here all the time, but the people having them aren't really affected too much by the general views expressed. The homeless, however, do.

There are countless shelters for battered and abused wives, for female rape victims and just females in general, and having shelter for them is not a bad thing. The bad thing is to be so focussed on them that we lose sight of everyone else suffering because of it.

Further more, because of the Feminazi/Meninist circle jerks, any attempts to have shelters for men only, for the above stated reasons, are thrown out immediately under the guise of the aforementioned circlejerk, rather than being seen as a legitimate attempt to help them.

TL;DR: Gender stereotypes are screwing over the homeless male populace because people can't be arsed to pull their heads out of their rectums.

Keep in mind that I haven't touched on children only shelters because children are a different case, but if we look at family only shelters(homeless parents with one or more child) it is not unheard of for the shelters to tell homeless fathers that their wives or children can stay, but they have to find other arrangements and come back in the morning for their family, though in fairness, there are not that many fathers homeless with their children, and their are a multitude of programmes to keep parents and their kids off the streets so that it doesn't have to become a problem.

Sure. But then why aren't children only shelters segregated by race and gender, if the adult ones are? Also, a woman tried to found over 3 male domestic violence victim shelters in UK, but feminazis started sending her death threats and threatening her. They shot her dog to death with a gun and so she had to jump country to escape from them. The reason for this? "Only males can do domestic violence, so they don't deserve shelters".

See aforementioned mini-rant about the Feminazi/Meninist circlejerk. I mean, fuck's sake you'd think people would just shut the hell up and look out of their window for two seconds and see the real problems, but like you said, those Feminazi's went ham on the one woman.

As for why the children's shelters aren't segregated? Dunno, have theories though. It's already proven that women's shelters get more govt. funding than regular shelters, on top of what they're given from the public.

My theory is that the children's shelters already get a decent amount of funding(as much as can be considered decent given the organisations we're talking about) so they don't need to play the gender/race game to try to earn more to scrape by. That's my theory anyway.

Children's shelters, and the foster care system, has its own nightmares however, and that's a whole other kettle of fish.

But, just like with most of the SJWs, so many middle to upper class people argue over topics but don't look down to see who the topics are affecting.

Ahh, but now I sound some rambling preacher, and all I meant to do was say that the spike plan is stupid. Ah well, it's good points for people to think about I suppose.

Every good sword is dual edged!

And there are a thousand sabres that would prove you wrong, sir.

What are you some kind of otomanshit?

Not even close(pic related).

I just know my blades.

But broadsword is not a saber.

>Asks if Ottoman
>Replies with Scotsman picture.
>Thinks I'm on about a sword.

You never know with some people.

If you build it, they will come...

The homeless shelter? In the long run it's going to cost us a lot less because they'll be less likely to get hurt, so we won't have to pay their medical expenses. (They're homeless, how are they going to begin to pay a medical bill?) . Plus if I see a bench that I have to pay money to use I'll just say "fuck this" and go somewhere else.

Not to mention people suing the city for injuries, since these benches are a possible hazard to health.

I agree, with you, Mike Jefferson who lives at 837 Grant Avenue Chicopee, MA 01020.

Shit.

Violence is never the answer. It is a coward's tactic and those who do it deserve to get executed.

>Violence is never the answer
Are you still 10? Violence is the answer about 80% of the time.
Someone bullying you? Use VIOLENCE and kick their ass.
Someone robbing you? Call the cops to use VIOLENCE and forcibly stop them.
Country wants to take over another because they feel superior? Army uses VIOLENCE to stop them.

Got a nice thick rope for you, if you'd like to step this way.

Nigga it's a joke. Did the whole execution for violence thing not strike you as odd?

We've somehow gone full circle. Let's just say that doxxing is a shitty thing to do and leave it at that.

Thanks, she sounds like a bitch all right.

True, though my guess is that bucket of chicken is the sister's gift. The person with the least anmount of money, but you're right, that is a shitty gift.

He complains about getting stuck with Hiricine after death instead of going to Sovengarde, and you cure him and make everything good. Aela also is cool with being a werewolf, and it's not something as evil and creepy as being a Vampire Lord, where you worship Molag Bol, who is a complete dick.

You can cure yourself at the end of the quest, it's super easy to do, and the quest is completed. Hell, you don't even have to transform after the initial initiation transformation.
