At my school there were a lot of big mouths and no big sticks. Non armed debate is a thing.


"Armed debate" is a misread. The point of my comment was that there is little sympathy for people that bite the hand that feeds them or talk themselves into situations they don't have the wherewithal to navigate.


Biting the hand that feeds is a nonsense characterization of disagreeing - even loudly - with the person who aids you. We do not own each other, as much as many of us would like to.

Until your mouth writes a check that your ass can't cash.


In your school. Where the kids were looked after by the teachers.


We can try having a non-armed debate with Putin, but I don’t think it’s going to be very productive.


Not that I'm recommending it but Putin's regime seems to behave much like the mafia and will get along with people who pay it protection money or ally with it.
