Major contradiction.

If this is a publicity stunt for Dante's Inferno, what is Dante's Inferno a publicity stunt for?

 

[zehydra]

the pen isn't mightier than the sword. It prevents the sword.

The other day, I was thinking, if actions speak louder than words, then why is the pen mightier than the sword?

That isn't a contradiction. All it is saying is that 'actions' are more noticeable and stand out more than words, but the words that you write with the pen hit harder in the end. It is pretty much like saying " Bill (action) is louder and more outspoken then Jim (words). Yeah but Jim is stronger and could still kick Bill's ass."

Well, that second one is an incomplete quote, taken completely out of context.
The real quote: "The pen is mightier than the sword, if sharpened to a fine point, dipped in poison and thrown from ten feet, but really you're better off with a sword"
-America the Book

Because when you pull out a pen in a sword battle, that action speaks louder then if you start to talk during a sword battle.

 

[Pyro Paul]

Yeah... well...

Why is stuff carried in a ship called cargo, and stuff carried in a car called shipment? What's up with thaaaaaaaat?!

-_-


the stuff in a car is called cargo as well.
shipment it action of transporting cargo.

 

[Indecizion]

hmm is a fair point though i have never gotten the saying myself, have you ever tried to kill a man armed with a sword using only a pen? its not easy unless youre a ninja.

You need to learn not to steal from Philosoraptor.

the pen isn't mightier than the sword. It prevents the sword.

1 pen can sign away the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals, maybe even millions.
not even the bloodiest sword has garned such a kill count.

But the pen still needs to "the sword" to pull it off.

Why do you park in a driveway, and drive in a parkway! What's up with thaaaat?

Corn nuts
are they corn or are they nuts?

 

[Snowalker]

Well, they're situational. When dealing with matters of the opposite sex or making a bold statement about a political situation, Actions do speak louder than words. However, if you're talking about justice, war, hell, any kind of conflict that involves major organizations, the Pen is mightier than the sword.

 

[Numb1lp]

Because THEY said so. Just listen to THEM and your life will be a whole lot better.

 

[ddon]

The pen is mightier then the sword, but the spork is the greatest of them all.

 

[Blanks]

That not for us to question, pipe down before they hear us ._.

 

[keybird]

Wait a minute, how is this a gaming discussion

 

[Eldarion]

Why do you park in a driveway, and drive in a parkway! What's up with thaaaat?

and because i hate that guy and think his jokes are stupid.

that is wrong.
a driveway is a privately owned road. in the instances of a privately owned complex such as a Mall, Estate, Hospital, or private office space you don't park in the 'driveway' you drive up the 'driveway' to the 'parking lot'

a Parkway is a way(road) that runs adjecent to a Park, or is itself a park. commonly Parkways have a lot of side street parking as to allow easier access to the park it is connected to.

so you do Drive on a Driveway and Park on a Parkway.

You seriously getting this upset about a lighthearted dig at two words that in casual conversation do in fact seem to be contradictory?

You either take comedy way to seriously (ironic), you think about this kind of thing way to much, or are just looking for any little thing to pick on.

Honestly.....
