10 people asked me the same question , the answer is the same for all of them . if you had read what I wrote , then I wouldn ' t have to copypaste it 10 times . Why are you so vehemently opposed to any ideas contradictory to your own ? Do you think you ' re smarter than everyone else ? Yes , I do ! Thanks for asking ! Jokes aside , I ' m not opposed to ideas contradictory to mine , I just like facts , and the facts are on my side on this issue . <| sep |> I broke up with my ex about a month ago , and I ' m just chilling right now . Life is too stressful between college and other shit right now . And not too sound sleazy , but random bar girls are a lot easier than a committed relationship for me right now . <| sep |> No nothing is 100 % you ' re over estimating . I can slash the tendons on your arm and you can ' t hold a baton . Watch the video , people withstand many police baton strikes and keep resisting . I ' m not arguing a baton can ' t be effective all I ' m saying is if you ' ve got to kill someone who is trying to kill you , a knife is a better option . Like I said in another reply there ' s a reason cops carry batons vs blades .
