Both.


. . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

yeah, depends on so many things, can't really just answer a question like that with A or B.

As long as you have a sufficient quantity of the basics, its quality ever after for me.

Quality, always. Put it this way - you are offered 100 CD's that don't work of a band, or 1 working CD of that band, which will you choose?

Theres so many different perspectives but it all comes down to quality, ask any business owner.

Maybe I'd take the 100 and sell them to some sucker 'for cheap' and pocket the cash.

Yeah I knew someone would be stupid enough to post something along these lines, totally avoiding the entire logic behind my point.

Bad sex is worse than no sex. Unless you havn't had any for over a month. In which case my standards begin to drop..

Ugly and fat women, get more and more attrative. The longer you go 'without'. I feel sorry for the gene pool.

But i feel sorry-ier for anyone who has to go 'without' for a looooonnnnggg time.

Quantity wins because the quality votes are of a shoddy quality.


history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

Quantity or quality in regards to the military? well thats still a bit vague. If I had the choice of 1000 well trained troops or 10 000 badly trained troops, gimme the 1000 any day. But if we're talking 1000 versus 1 000 000, hmmm...

Still, in general I'd still go for quality. In the Battle of Mirbat in the Oman, a British SAS squad of 8 men defeated 300 rebels, killing more than 70, for the loss of two men.

I'd take the former. Use of illegal substances and playing loud music does not appeal to me.

The latter, life beyond 40 doesn't appeal to me. At least you get to fill the meaningless gap's between none existence with something fun, like orgies and dissolving your nose. At the same time.

I think quality wins out in most situations. Obviously 10 U.S. Navy Seals won't overcome an army of 10,000 guerillas. But in most cases, such as one [insert your dream car here] versus five shitty cars or twenty one dollar bills versus one one hundred dollar bill, quality wins out. It's a rather dumb question, actually--you have to be more specific, even more specific than "military."

Quality wins when:

Great Sex over bad sex.

Quantity wins when:

100 dollars over 10 dollars.
