1. A samurai's armour would be just about useless against a poleaxe wielding knight, so I assume he would ditch the armour. Being much lighter and more agile now, he should be able to, if not sneak up on him, than at least outmatch the knight in terms of speed. Still not a good chance, but better than none.

2. William identified himself king of the area known as England.
William was therefore English.

3. Of course it's not a good idea, what kind of moron hits buttons without knowing what they do?

1: The katana to plate armor is like Radiactive Man's goggles to nuclear waste. {Insert Simpsons clip, "The Goggles, they do nothing.} He may be slightly faster (plate armor only weighs 60 lbs and is form fitted to the individual so it will not hinder you, the helm might obscure your vision, hearing, and breathing a bit but nothing beyond that), but you can't kill a tank with a knife.

2: He was Norman, but he owned England. Just like Hitler owned France for quite a while, but he wasn't French.

3: <---------- This kind.........

I have a gun pointed at your head.

It's my personal opinion that I'm not going to shoot you.

Argue your way out of that one, smart guy *cocks gun* Go on, make my day.
Rule 1 of gun safety is not to point your gun at something you're not going to shoot. You don't strike me as an idiot so of course you're going to shoot me.

Your arguing opinions, and since I won't change my opinion or you won't, its quite obvious that no one can be a victor in a arguement of subjectivity, TAKE THAT!
There is one way I can win...and that is not to play.
Hooray for mildly obscure movie lines!

It's okay for your friend to constantly treat you like crap, because you sang Can You Feel the Love Tonight together on one magical evening and then one day you exchanged clothes on a limo bus and it was funny. Yep, those two events make it ALLLLL better.

(No seriously, this actually happens and I need to something to say to the friends that's getting abused to hopefully knock some sense into her once and for all)
The only way that that would not be the most stupid relationship ever would be if everybody involved was actually a monkey. Human beings are supposed to be intelligent.

Yeah, but he's also a robot.

It may be false, but because being false would make it true which would in turn make it false, it is also true.

Of course not, not only would it be disgusting but the other inmates would probably catch something and then he'd be a murderer as well.

The world and all that it encompasses have no intrinsic, objective value. The only value that exists is purely subjective. Humans(And maybe other animals) invented the very idea of "Value".
There is one thing that has objective value: Human life. Everybody values their lives, and value of things like food and water derive from value of life.
Not true, objectivity is undeniable fact, as in it is literally impossible for anyone thinking clearly and acting honestly to argue against it.

1: If I asked what made human life valuable, what would you say?.

2: Not everyone does, many people such as criminals, psychopaths, manic depressives, politicians, Michael Atkinson, etc, don't place any inherent value on human life.

If everyone just agrees on something, that doesn't make it an objective fact, it's just united subjectivity, many different perspectives that happen to agree.

Humans are wired to survive, so of course they FEEL that they're life is important, but that doesn't mean that that viewpoint makes any kind of sense, that they can present undeniable evidence that life not only can be but SHOULD be preserved.

Fire is hot, that's a fact, regardless of who you are or what you think, fire will still cause you to ignite. How would you argue an exclusively human concern to an entity that wasn't human?, how would you ascertain that their argument was inferior to your own?.
Human life doesn't have anything that makes it valuable. That's why the only way it can have value is if it has some intrinsically.

And perhaps I should have elaborated, but I meant every human being's own life has intrinsic value, meaning that everybody values their own life.

As for why I specifically said human life, other animals are unable to articulate thoughts about worth and value.

1: Yes, I know. The samurai's only chance would be to hit a part of the knight that was unarmoured, or at least very thinly armoured, such as the neck perhaps, or the underarm. As I said, not good chances, but better than zero.

2: Hitler didn't declare himself king of France, though. European feudalism work in a way where the king was the nation. William was king of England, therefore he was England, therefore he was English.

You're just jealous that he had the greatest mullet in history. The man was sex incarnate, an honour he shared with such figures as Freddy Murcury and Teddy Roosevelt (Though they had different reasons, obviously).

Hydreigon is the shit. I don't care about how slow he is. i don't care about his somewhat poor move selection. I don't care about how high level it takes to get them to evolve. Hydreigon is teh smex because he is a damn fine looking dragon and I like dragons.
(also I had a gible at first and I didn't feel like just switching for a garchomp)

Nerdcore rap is the most godawful thing in existence because science nerds =/= music nerds. Off key and off tempo - not a good combination.

Zero punctuation is written by a Brit so unfunny they actually banished him from Britain.

I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but I'm afraid you were actually the first test subject of a project to hatch human babies using artificial eggs in the event that the 'no sexual organs' event detailed earlier ever comes to pass.

Some organism is alive at this moment.

BOOM.
That is actually pretty easily disproven. I'll let Douglas Adams explain it.

"Although you might see people from time to time, they are most likely products of your imagination. Simple mathematics tells us that the population of the Universe must be zero. Why? Well given that the volume of the universe is infinite there must be an infinite number of worlds. But not all of them are populated; therefore only a finite number are. Any finite number divided by infinity is zero, therefore the average population of the Universe is zero, and so the total population must be zero."

So... something is alive in my dream world. I DARE YOU TO ARGUE THAT.

Karl Marx believed the essential conditions for the existence and for the sway of the bourgeois class is the formation and augmentation of capital; the condition for capital is wage labour. Wage labour rests exclusively on competition between the labourers. The advance of industry, whose involuntary promoter is the bourgeoisie, replaces the isolation of the labourers, due to competition, by the revolutionary combination, due to association. The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable.

Do you agree?

I'm decently sure you've satisfied my will to combat your arguments, And seeing as I/we are the same person doesn't that mean your the first test subject.
...so by this logic
You have no sexual organs. My stance you cannot impregnate a woman, go?

Easily. As I explained, the population of the universe is zero, so you don't exist, therefor by extension your dreams don't exist because you don't exist to dream them. This proves logically that nothing in your dreams is alive because the dream doesn't exist because you're not real

While I'm not saying outright we should kill mentally handicapped people and sociopaths, I do think it would doing the severely handicaped a mercy, and well, does stuffing a murderer away really do anything useful? Of course, such a policy/law or whatever could easily get out of hand, as selfish people would twist the definition of things to include the people they just don't like.

The problem is there isn't any unarmored point on a knight.
As you can tell from the picture, the neck and underarm are fully protected.

Hitler declared himself ruler of Europe, which he was for a while. Just because you conquer an area doesn't make you that area's people. German's who were occupying Poland were Polish. Mexican people who come to America still are Mexicans.
