I was with him up until the part about having only one katana. Just one? Doesn't he know that they come in matching pairs? One long japanese sword and one shorter but equally japanese sword?

Still technically only one katana. It is by definition a long sword and the short one that's traditionally paired with it is a different kind of sword, typically a wakizashi. Although the daisho can technically consist of any daito (long Japanese sword) and any shoto (short Japanese sword).

That being said, 刀 (katana, dao, to, chi, et cetera) is just a word for a blade with one edge. Any single edged japanese sword (which is almost all of them, post-Heian) could be described with it. The 'to' in shoto is the same character.
My samurai history is a bit vague, but if I recall correctly the use of 刀 on its own to describe a particular design of sword that was common in the latter half of the last millennium is a fairly recent thing, in the broader scope of Japanese history.

Thou, teaching thrift, thyselfe couldst never thrive.
So, like the whetstone, many men are wont
To sharpen others, when themselves are blunt."

Anyone who has any kind of opinion fucking disgusts me.

Praise Jesus, especially when it's sunny outside because Jesus would totally be cool with you praising while you get a nice tan.
