The greatest weapon is the human mind. One can argue that the atomic bomb is a more efficient, lethal, and greater weapon, but without the human mind, the a-bomb would never have been created.

As far as inanimate objects go, I'm partial to the katana. Unlike a gun , it won't jam, and in the hands of a highly trained individual, it can make he or she virtually untouchable. (Excluding guns, poisons, and etc.)

Its not the greatest weapon in terms of efficiency, but its still the greatest to me.

...again, the human mind wasn't developed as a weapon unless you remove it from some poor sucker's scull & heave it @ another enemy.

A weapon is a tool created by an intelligent being therefore my hand isn't a weapon, time isn't a weapon, black holes aren't weapons, & neither is a mind.

(4th grade philosophers are like gnats - basically harmless but annoying as hell)

Simple...(& I don't need caps to express myself - don't have a stroke, it's only a forum, not your life) Here goes:

The Mind creates the weapon.

Using your logic(?) the mind is all things because it causes things to be: The Mind is transportation. The mind is a meal. The mind is a work of art.

Concepts (the mind) remain concepts until physical action is applied to making a thing or motivating people (Hitler) to do something. W/o part 2, a concept remains in the mind.

So if the mind is a weapon, what is "Mushin" & why do MA-ists srtive to achieve a state of No Mind? (Ah-hah...)



owari

BTW: My Sig has never jammed so let's meet somewhere - you w/ your katana & me w/ my trusty Sig.

With respect, then why not delete the sling shot comment? It also lingers into religion's juridiction.

And there is a whole section here on Zen - a branch of Buddhism. Isn't this religious?

Despite how "pure" buddhism may be, it is still a religion.



A slingshot is a weapon, thus it is a valid topic. Reference to a character living or dead or in a book is ok in that context.

Discussion on religion is not a valid topic.

The Zen section is for discussion of Zen concepts, mainly meditation and principles.

I say Alan Greenspan is the best weapon,, he can raise your intrest rates!

all i can say i there is no greatest weapon
a train person could kills someone that doesnt know how to use a katana orr another weapon with a twig, does that make either devices a better weapon? neither. there is no greatest weapon. its all about the person. the training they have received, its all about the person wielding the weapon.

wow im tired and that commment above is like....whoa :P
