I am a rock man, because a rock never gets smashed or cut in half. If I'm going to lose, I want to lose with dignity.

I always throw rock, for similar reasons, plus having a piece of paper lay on top of me, isn't really being defeated.

Definitely rock.  I mean big flippin deal you covered me with paper...So what?  I'll pick up the rock and the paper and brain you with the whole package.  Paper is lame and should not be victorious over anything (of course that would make the game a lot less interesting)
Then again, those paper cuts really sting...

No doubt.  I got one last week and it stung like a bugger, but honestly, if you're headed in to a fight would you rather be carrying a rock or a piece of paper (to speak nothing of a pair of scissors).

What, are going to ask your opponent to sit still and hold his jugular out so you can give him a good, deep paper cut wound where it counts?

Useless I tell you!

True, but paper has some clout, in the "pen is mightier than the sword" type of way.  What good is a pen without paper?

Stonehenge (made of rock) is nice, but governments are based on the Magna Carta (written on paper).


Scissors anyone?

With computers, paper has become even more irrelevant.

Redz, why must we disagree on everything?

PS. SShorefan just sealed the win for paper in the great Paper vs Rock debate.

Alan, I am sure your credit limit will allow you to purchase such a lovely rock.  Let's take a quick look at your credit report, I'll mail you a copy so you can sign off on it.

Why force paper money? Do they use cash on wall street? In corporate acquisitions? Money had its run, but it's not longer needed, except at strip clubs.
