Oh, thanks for the history lesson. People are just as bad nowadays, sadly. You think people would learn from the past, instead of repeat it. And now they have more resources..

As much as I despise the idea of a bunch of people going to war to kill each other, sometimes it's necessary. In example, I believe that while the American civil war was bloody, brutal, and down-right savage in places, it was necessary to this nation in order to dispose of slavery.

The Koreans and Japanese used to be enemies, I forgot why.. I guess I should've paid more attention to the history lessons at Korea. XD I can't speak or write Korean that well anymore.. I still miss living there, and my dad's a black belt in
Tie Kwan Doe, even though you really can't tell if you look at him. My sister just started learning, I'm not even though my mom begged me to learn for self-defence reasons. I can do well enough by kicking, punching, scratching, and screaming. Everyone who has ever asked me to scream never asks me to do it again. I wonder why... I can scratch reall well, but I can't tell you how I know that..

Isn't the spelling Tae Kwan Doe? Or does it vary between places? I find arguing a lot between friends and usually following it up with punches/kicks/stuff/licked finger attack would be useful. Arm wrestling too. ^_^ Chances of me learning self-defense stuff are as close to none though. I'll need to find Shin-style martial arts, deadliest technique, Wet Finger Butt Pierce no Jutsu. =3
In all honesty, I have no opinions about wars. Its bad, it's sometimes necessary, sometimes stupid, sometimes I just can't find a reason why I care. But that may be because of my country being so peaceful, so I think I'll shut up.
Ooh, question, if you had the chance would you fight for your nation?

In all honesty I'm not sure. A militairt career is a hard one. I've seen it first hand. If I was to be in a militairy career it would probably be some kind of comunications, but getting through boot camp would be rough. I'm not sure I could make it. Plus, long hours and bad pay with zero consideration for anything personal. Hence the saying: if the army wanted me to have a wife they'd have issued me one. For men of course, but still true. It pretty much rules out the option of having a big family, and I've always dreamed of a big family. I just don't know...
Giving my life really isn't the issue for me, it's mainly boot camp and the family troubles that a militairy life brings with it. Don't get me wrong, I love my life, and I wouldn't want to die. But I have nothing to be afraid of because in death there is a new life for those who are saved.

You said it Alora.=)
And I'm not sure if I would join the military either..if someone was threatening those I love then yeah I would get in between my loved ones and the bad guy, though.

Any chance that the title character limit thingy can be made more?

I don't know - when I first made the site I went through all of the admin powers to see what I could do, but I don't think I can change the character limits..I'll go take one more peek.

There's a character limit on messages? 0.o Who on earth does that? Let's hope it's really high.
Oh darn, I was looking forward to your comments.

No, no...Shinjiriko was talking about the title, you know, the thing uder your avatar that says 'Warrior of Virtue' for you, and 'What God ordains, He sustains' for me. At least I think that's what he was talking about.

Oh...
Well the title character limit probably can't be enlarged. Really what they do let you type is quite a lot compared to some other forums. And why would you want a title that could count as a paragraph anyway?

The same reason people want 200 words for roleplaying posts.
Yeah... If I'm not that tired like I am right now, I'll edit that post or something. Right now I just want to- -snore-

People want 200 words? My RP posts can go waaaaaaay over 200 words depending on what I'm trying to explain.
Well goodnight Shinji.

Meh, most of my messages are short right now, I'm having writer's block.. Not fun at all, I had 0 ideas on what to do for my homework in english. And I still don't know what book I should use for my book report, then I have to complete my map project for geography. Darn.
