How would you explain to the Borg why you are resisting assimilation rather than accepting it

TR-116 Sniper Rifle

The Borg will have a hard time figuring out where the shooter is =D.
Those would have been pretty handy against the Jem'Hadar, too.

Those would be handy against quite a number of people, most people don't expect sniper shots to come from behind a building, usually it requires a "Line of Sight" =D

Now Imagine if the bullet had a mini Anti-Matter War-Head.

Imagine what a sudden explosion in a close room would do.
 
Or even 3mm³ of explosive, like that arm bomb in "Reunion". Put that stuff in your TR-116 transport-a-bullets, and you can splatter Jem'Hadar all over the walls from the safety of a bunker. You could probably start obliterating them when they're still doing their "I am dead" mantra.

You can be MANY MANY km away with Transporter Signal Booster / Repeater to enhance your effective range.
 
Hmm, I get the sense that explanations would be considered irrelevant. So I would just arm all phasers and torpedoes and go out fighting.

"I possess a housecat, a being that has already achieved perfection ... just ask her. Stop all this assimilation nonsense and observe perfection in action."

Mrs. Silvercrest has said for years that if the Borg assimilate just one cat, they'll leave everyone else alone because they'll decide they're already perfect.
 
I would give them a note from my doctor saying I shouldn’t have metallic implants because they cause cutaneous allergic reactions.
 
We're all forgetting the most important deterrent for alien invaders: a wooden board with a nail through it.

I would give the Borg a hot cheeto to see if they implode

That being said, I am terrified of the Borg.
 
I don't think any explanation would matter to them. They've probably heard every conceivable (and possibly even every inconceivable, to us, as humans at least) line of reasoning against assimilation from species all over the galaxy. And they rejected or ignored those explanations. So if you were to attempt to explain it to them, it would be wasting your time, or perhaps only for the goal of letting you feel better about it - which, in a minute or so, you won't care about anymore anyway, after you've been assimilated as well.

So the only thing would seem to be to actually resist rather than explain.
