Keep Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer? Why Would I Keep My Enemies Close?
January 4, 2018 at 6:03 pm
Where is the sense in that?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Ease-of-stabbing.

Sidebar, I wish I had identifiable enemies in life. The clarity of purpose and action would be amazing.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It means keep an eye on your friends, and keep a super sharp eye on your enemies. It doesn't mean like invite them to tea and let them spend the night in your home or anything.

I kinda figure a beowulf would be a bill nowadays. A Max Kilrothgar would probably be a Philippe, for irony.

How else will you lure them into a false sense of safety and be able to administer the chloroform, giving you the time to get your hacksaw, hammer and nailgun ready?

Tied up in a corner was very tempting, but then you have to feed 'em and they tend to talk. So as far away as possible works for me.

I don't have an enemy. I've had enemies. They got bored of bothering me in the end.
And no, I didn't kill them. And they were only enemies because they made it that way.
Eventually cunts get bored and go and be a cunt to someone else, in my experience.
They'd probably stay mistreating me if I gave them too much feedback. Which I often do. But I get exhausted after a while and then they get bored, I think.
Also I end up blocking them on the internet or moving out if it's in RL.

Does "enemies closer" mean ruff sex? Not really my thing.
I do keep an eye on my adversaries.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
