I wonder which former Secretary of state made the deal with Saudi Arabia that is the source of these weapons ? <| sep |> Thanks ! Got a reply now after two days . It ' s important to keep the email short and to the point i guess . <| sep |> No , I Copypasted my answer from my comments . The main complaint was that people who decide not to have children shouldn ' t have to pay for people who do , and why don ' t those people get 9 months paid holiday for sitting on their backsides playing video games . if they want a sabbatical that badly , why don ' t they ask ? <| sep |> Oh really ? The Elder Wand is simply the most ruthless of wands in that it will only take into consideration strength . One would expect a certain amount of loyalty from one ' s wand . So even if you were disarmed while carrying it , even if you lost a fight while carrying it , it has developed an affinity with you that it won ' t give up easily . If , however , a wand is won , properly won in an adult duel , then a wand may switch allegiance . However , the Elder Wand knows no loyalty except to strength . It ' s completely unsentimental . It will only go where the power is . So if you win , then you ' ve won the wand . You don ' t need to kill with it . But . almost inevitably , it attracts wizards who are prepared to kill and who will kill . And also it attracts wizards like Voldemort who confuse being prepared to murder with strength . j . k . Rowling quoteElder wand behaves differently than all other wands in terms of allegiance . yet this quote has fallacy . Malfoy was not prepared to kill Dumbledore yet he won allegiance of the wand from him due to disarming him .
