No they aren't. They're designed to cut. Some swords are ceremonial.
Arrows?
Like this: --- Seems harmless enough.


There are ceremonial guns too, what's your point?
A sword is just a weapon for killing people, good for nothing else.
You can't even say people hunt with swords.


Seems like you are beginning to catch on to her MO.

Seems like you've just about reached the apex of your brilliant

We don't use any pesticides, and certainly don't want anything around
that would kill bees. The bees are having a tough enough time. We do put
up traps for the damned Japanese beetles, though...and they only attract
the beetles.

I humored him about "ground bees". They were probably hornets. (yellow
jackets). They are still beneficial on some way but they are not the
endangered honey bees we are in trouble over.

I am pretty much a live and let live guy but if there was a nest of
yellow jackets in my yard that were a danger to my grandkids, they
would have to go.

Exactly... They had attacked me and my dog so I wiped them out, no
remorse.


So brave...

yeah. from 100 killed/year to 105. big deal.

Gee, I didn't think much of Bush or Cheney, but certainly not because of
their skin color. Bush is a incompetent moron and Cheney is evil
incarnate. On the other hand, several of the righties here dislike Obama
because of the color of his skin. It's obvious from their posts,
comments, cartoons, et cetera.

"Aggravated," by the way, is just another sock puppet of one of the
rightie regulars here.

You don't need poison to do this. You should clean out your yard of food
they like to eat and use traps to catch the queen. You can even use boric
acid.

It is pretty hard to eliminate food for a yellow jacket. They eat
bugs.
Boric acid is poison but I agree it is safer than most. Usually you
use it in baits. That is certainly the best way to control ants.



You can eliminate the obvious food that sits out, such as dog food. They
don't just eat insects. Traps are your friend.

What do you do about termites food source. Your house is built from
termite food. A little bit of Chlordane around the foundation will save
the homeowners a tremendous amount of money in the future.

Boraxo or whatever that old soap is called works well along the sills of

Termites don't come from around the foundation. They are blind and tunnel
around. When they hit food (wood), they keep eating. What you need to do is
bait traps (wood) around the house. You also need to inspect under the house
on a regular basis and possibly bait traps under there as well.
