One must be courage but there is a common mistake that cowards make...

When someone is scared (or completely shitting their pants, as is often the case here), there is a fight or flight response. Many start lashing out, irrationally, at what scares them most - and often anything they see as associated with what scares them most. Sometimes you have to be brave enough not to fight.

I'm not answering the question, rather I am critiquing the title given to each side.

Isn't fear a requirement for courage? Can one be courageous without being afraid? I would define a courageous person as one who faces up to their fears when the situation calls for it, and a coward as one who gives in to their fears when the situation requires that they face up to their fears.

No, not me.

You see it's my religion and my very rare medical condition.

I'm a devout coward with an extremely low pain threshold.

I have learnt how to say, I surrender in twelve different languages and always carry a white Flag with me wherever I go.

Any vehicle I buy must have a reverse top speed of at least 60 M.P.H.

Hello bront:

The only time I was called upon to be courageous, I was.. But, I was afraid the whole time.. There's a difference between what you DO, and how you FEEL about it.

A little anecdotal evidence to back up your 'courage' never hurt anyone.

Not very courageous though...
