'You don't kick a man when he's down are you mad?'

No my love they're not mad that's an English rule which they're neither capable of or inclined to follow -- a general European one as well.

They're not mad they're different from you. Your ancestors baulked at using the crossbow for hundreds of years because it was unsportsmanlike. Their ancestors have spent the last 3000 years kicking each other when they're down and stomping on each others throats.

When I was a kid there was a thing called a "nigger pile" where everyone would jump on top of someone down. It was all in good fun, no one got hurt, and we had no idea what it meant. Only after watching hours of /pol "nigger hate threads" do I understand it's actually how they fight. Fights in my neighborhood were "fisticuffs" which were civilized bouts of skill and no one was ever injured beyond a bloody nose. I saw about 5 of these my entire childhood. There was a level of civility that seems nowhere to be found in Blacks fighting. Now, I could be biased by my exquisitely decent upbringing vs. /pol, but the existence of Worldstar Hiphop would argue against.

edit:

the existence of Worldstar Hiphop would argue against

I am unaware of any White equivalent.

That's fascinating, and from what I have seen, absolutely true.

The English longbow was actually just superior to it, but I agree with your general statement.

Not in closer quarters. Superior as a medium and long range weapon.

The objection wasn't tactical as the crossbow would have been useful in many situations it was ethical.

Yeah it probably was for ethical reasons during sieges. I imagine that on any fields though the longbow was the better choice for tactical reasons.

The Catholic church forbade use of the crossbow against other forces within christendom (Europe) but permitted it against barbarians. It was seen as barbaric, brutal, uncivilised so it should only used against those that were barbarians
