I like the Internet and modern transportation and indoor plumbing and otherwise we can go back to the Middle Ages please.
@AvengingRedHand nah the gun thing struck me as odd. I waste a lot of time arguing against progs so my smell tests are perhaps too strong.

@i_contemplate_ I dislike guns less than other modern weapons such as nukes and bombs, but for the same reason... -
@AvengingRedHand So I take it you're not a believer in the 'nuclear peace' concept? It seems plausible to me. -
@i_contemplate_ The idea that if everyone has nukes no one will use them? -
@AvengingRedHand Yeah something like that. MAD etc. Only neocons have argued against this so far citing Iran (laugh). -
@i_contemplate_ I dont think it is implausible, especially if limited to major powers. But it's a fragile peace to be sure.

@i_contemplate_ ...namely, I think they make combat less personal. NB I am a huge pan of WWI and WWII style fighter plane stuff. -
@AvengingRedHand I thought fighter planes decided much of anything in those wars. I could be wrong -
@i_contemplate_ Not sure that they did but that was a time when guns were used without compromising the honour and personal nature of combat

@i_contemplate_ So my gun hatred isn't absolute. But I feel hand weapons are generally better for an honour culture.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
