Okay, filks at noon ... Who's ready to fight?
Uh, Gel, you're missing Adam's point: He does not advocate guns at all. He
was talking strictly one on one, fist fighting. So the verse below doesn't
fit at all.
Besides, as Michael is telling me, any two-bit moron can pull a gun. To
actually know that you're going to punch someone and get into a physical
confrontation with them, to know that blood, teeth, guns and all this is
going to be happening, you have to know that this is going to be happening.
Guns don't allow you to think. Guns are just "pull a trigger" and someone is
dead. A fist is part of your body that's going to connect with part of
another person's body, and he may come back and hurt you. So you've got to
think about it. You've got to think, "Is it worth the fight? Is it worth the
physical confrontation? Is it worth saying 'Screw You' and that's it?" And
if someone pushes you to the point that you think that it is worth the
fight, do it by hand so you know what you're doing.
