TI has....
- Greater corrosion resistance.
(This also allows it to be unpainted, giving it that beauteous nickel-like color, while further reducing weight.)
- Greater strength to weight ratio.
- Greater elastic energy absorption capability.k
(This is because of its lower elastic modulus allows more elastic deformation before reaching yield strength.)
Note:
Both steel & TI are hexagonal close pack crystals, which is associated with
infinite fatigue life for cyclic stresses below half of ultimate tensile strength.
So steel is also a fine material from which to fabricate morality.

We also get more news about rape. It's also partly due to the fact that 10-30 years back the blame was shifted on victims and it was shameful in itself to be raped. A lot less reporting and less convictions back then.
Paint isn't all bad.
It's an opportunity for color.

I sharpen my shovels...
Certainly you can be trusted with shovels, rakes, and other "implements of destruction"
Sorry for the shameless arlo guthrie reference... i couldn't resist.

@Amanaki ,
Here's a link to a thread where i posted the Arlo Guthrie songs, "Motorcycle Song" and "Alice's Restaurant" that are refererenced in my previous post.

These are a slice of Americana, maybe you will enjoy them? Not sure, but they are interesting for historical perspective. Also, the second part of Alice's Restaurant has an anti-draft theme. You may appreciate the whimsical approach to pacifism. But to get the whole joke, you need to listen to part 1 as well.

After WW2 Finland had a pacifist defense minister, Yrjö Kallinen, for a few years (1946-1948), who was the first Finn to write a collection of essays on Zen Buddhism "Light of the East"... he was also part of the Free Thinkers, a generally humanist and atheist group though he argued for unity of religions. I don't know if his works have been translated but you might find him interesting.
During the Finnish civil war he was part of the workers ("reds"), but he was against arming red guards or armed insurrection. He was also against violence and revolution. For his role in the losing side of the war he was condemned to death 4 times, but even the bourgeiosie ("whites") argued for leniency and mercy on his behalf and he was given back his life and freedom. He was compared to Eduard Bernstein of Germany, another social democrat who made a direct break with Marx on revolution.

Unfortunately, the link to Alice's Restaurant is broken. it is possible to do a search and find it, though.
I spent many a day listening to that side of the album (I guess that shows how old I am).

That's a bummer... thanks for pointing it out.
I'll see if there's a better way to share this classic song.

In my opinion Your thoughts are sound. The acceptable standard of Morality is the teachings given by God in each age through his Messengers. This is an ancient teaching that is never outdated;
We can see it in the Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 7
BG 4.7: "Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, O Arjun, at that time I manifest myself on earth"
When man turns away from God, they turn away from righteousness and morality declines and this is when God sends a new Avatar to give a Message suited to that age, with the required Laws and Standards. This is the moral guidance.
Some popular worldly thoughts about morality, when man has turned away from God and the Messengers, is far from what is the required morality.

I prefer some of the popular worldly morality.
It's not required though.
I voted yes and no.
Yes because I see morality ties into Gods Mesengers and that God sends his Messengers when Morality is at its lowest. The 1800's had reached a required turning point.
No because there has been a recent Messenger and Moral guidance for this age has been given. As such this guidance has permeated the minds of humainty and is slowly bringing about change for the better.

On that note it's probably stayed pretty much the same. Morality keeps pace with whatever people think is morally correct.
So you too are another of those evil moral relativists, eh.

I prefer the term moral pluralist so people don't ask me if I think it's equally moral to use a baby as a tennis racket as it is save kittens from a burning building.
