[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 426119, member: 834"] [b]Re: Two bits (four and a half bits canadian)[/b] The act of killings children and other defenseless people is not cowardly. It's callous but it's not cowardly. It's an act that may be commited by cowardly people, but these people aren't cowards because of that particular act. For example, a man who kills your only son in order to draw you out to a duel to the death that you've been avoiding can hardly be called a coward. Ruthless, demented, obessessed with his own twisted conception of honor, most likely. But never a coward. Cowardice: lack of courage or resolution Sorry, just a pet peeve. It's like calling terrorists who commit suicide bombing attack cowards. A [i]lot[/i] of things can be said about such people. Demented, deluded, ruthless... But sadly they were not cowards or else we wouldn't be talking about what they did. [/QUOTE]
