You better believe i'd take the shot, a threat is a threat no matter if its back is to you or not.
http://www.corneredcat.com/Fun/kipling.aspxFear, or foolishness, impels him, ere he lay the wicked low,
To concede some form of trial even to his fiercest foe.
Mirth obscene diverts his anger — Doubt and Pity oft perplex
Him in dealing with an issue — to the scandal of The Sex!
But the Woman that God gave him, every fibre of her frame
Proves her launched for one sole issue, armed and engined for the same;
And to serve that single issue, lest the generations fail,
The female of the species must be deadlier than the male.
She who faces Death by torture for each life beneath her breast
May not deal in doubt or pity — must not swerve for fact or jest.
These be purely male diversions — not in these her honour dwells—
She the Other Law we live by, is that Law and nothing else.
I guess you should stop the threat but is it just the "Old West" speaking about not shooting some one in the back that makes me uneasy.
If you're a Star Trek geek like me you'll recognize this quote:Well.... most of the outlaws or criminals in the Old West were shot in the back
If you're a Star Trek geek like me you'll recognize this quote:
Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?
Garak: It's the safest way, isn't it?
UKTN said:That was my thinking but then something made me think shooting someone in the back was somehow unacceptable!!
