I always liked rock. Who are we kidding? A paper can't magically make a rock disappear.

Paper is only thrown by the strong, as it takes the most amount of energy to completely open up one's hand from a fist to a flat hand!

This is making my OCD act up.

This is like the pen/sword question.
I mean, I *suppose* you could carve writing onto rock, (with the scissors, no doubt) but really, is that very efficient?
Yeah. That's right, I just related this to writing.
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger.

The myth behind this in japan is that the scissors represented the wily trickster who could outwit the diplomat, the rock was the police who could detain the trickster, and the paper was the diplomat, which could control the police.

In the country I grew up in, it was "well, paper scissors", which makes more sense :P

Anyhow, dis.

The paper mill corporations have infinite bargaining power in comparison to scissor factories. As much as I hate the business, in a battle of moving forces, it pays to stand behind the bigger contender.

Rocks are unincorporated and diverse. A specification of type of rock would have possibly made me choose it, diamonds or coal for example.

But its easier to kill people with scissors. I mean of course there's stoning, but you have to aim, and it takes ages.
Hahah....haha.....ahahaha.

Who ever made rock paper scissors had some real creativity problems or possibly must not have known what paper is. Anyways to settle the debate once and for all; I choose all three. "oh I can't do that?" Damn. Okay lets think about this.

It is too ambiguous of a question. How big is the rock? How sharp are the scissors? Why is paper in this debate?

If we had to choose right now, I would just make the rock into scissors.

Rock is for those lazy people who just don't feel like making the scissors or the paper.

...which is why I voted for it.

She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
