I know that "Sic Semper Tyrannis" means "thus always unto tyrants", which of course refers to Death to tyrants.
How would you say "Thus always unto pacifist"?
in Latin. Meaning war or death always awaits the pacifist.

Sic Semper ab Pacifico
Sic Semper Pacifus
[u]Pacifico[/u]: make peace
[u]Pacifus[/u]: Peace Making
I like this much better:
[b]Sic Semper Turpis[/b]
[u]Turpis[/u]: Foul, Ugly, Disgraceful, Morally Corrupt, Unseemly, Dishonorable
Or...
[b]Sic Semper Turbatus[/b]
[u]Turbatus[/u]: Disturbed, Restless, Troubled

sic semper imbellis
From what I remember, imbellis orginally meant unable to fight, like a dull sword or old person. It later became to mean feeble. I think it's the perfect word to use (assuming I remember correctly, it's been over 50 years since school).z
