*sigh* I am so irritated right now because I have no photoshop. My computer has been eaten by a nasty virus and so now I have to reformat. Though on the bright side I did manage to save all the important stuff, and it is safely tucked away on my room mates external.

It is just driving me crazy though because I have some really awesome stock photos that I have ideas for and I can't do anything with them, well except look at them and after a awhile they lose their charm.

So I went out and bought myself a book that shows you how to draw Celtic knot work and I'm messing around with that. It is quite fun too...but I want my computer back! >_<

I found this pin up girl picture on DA it was very pretty but the person who drew it made a statment that WWII was an "honorable war". well I disagree. So I go scrolling down through all the comments so I can leave one and I find these comments exchanged between the artist and another person.

Well kid, do ever grab a gun a and fight for what you care? No?. I know how it feels . So shout your mouth if you are not willing to kill some one else for what you love. War or not..who cares ...kid How many people are you willing to kill for what you care?.... just shout your mouth ...OK

War, it does not make us heroes, stand for what we care does.

Read the fVcking Bible! It's all about GOD'S wrath, armies and shit!

Grab a fVcking gun and fight for what you care....

just shout up....

After reading this I was rather upset so here was my reply...

I really do not believe there can be an honest war. Wars are started by governments or other large organization and I highly doubt that all their reasons for entering into combat are as one would say "honorable". But what I do think is true is that the soldiers fight for honorable reasons and that they truly care for those people back home. They are the ones that fight for our freedoms and not oil or X number of other things. That is why I would say they are heroes and that a war in itself can not be honorable.

Also as much as soldiers are hero's not everyone can be a solider, and I wish that no one had to be (here's to unrealistic hopes). Not everyone has to pick up a gun and defend what they believe in. There are many people who have to stay behind to keep things going and to make changes here. There are social movements where those who are fighting for the right of people never picked up a gun. Sometimes fighting is going on a hunger strike or refusing to sit in back seat of the bus, or so many other things that are not violent that have changed the quality of people's lives for the better.

It was Martin Luther King Jr., a man who was very peaceful in his ways of social reform but strong, that said "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live". I myself will say that I might not be willing to kill others for what I believe in but I am willing to die for it. I have a feeling that my father, brother, and boyfriend who have all served time in the armed forces would say something similar. It is not about killing others it is the willingness to sacrifice oneself for the betterment of others lives.

I will now step down from my soap box and say that I think your picture is very lovely. It is soft, beautiful, and provocative.

I dont know. What do you guys think? Is there ever a thing as an honorable war? Do we have to kill other for what we believe in?

Oh and by the way here is the picture [link] the guy did. It's a pretty nice pin up girl, fo rall that it's worth.

Edit

Ooooo.. That sneaky bastard! I was going to post a comment back to his response that was basically a "that’s your opinion. I don’t fVcking care what you think." and you know that’s just fine, but then it followed on with something like history backs what he is say. I was going to respond back but Mr. "will kill for what he believes in" hid all the comments so I can not reply. Maybe he can pick up a gun and shot somebody but obviously he can not have a philosophical conversation with them. So being really agitated about this I'm posting it here.

My response:

Your right it is just my opinion and you don’t have to give a "fVck". Humans are violent and there will always be war, history doesn’t lie about that by any means and I never said other wise. To believe that there will ever be peace is naive.

I guess it is good that you feel such strong convictions that you would kill for them. There are many other persons through out history that have killed for what they believe in: Stalin, Pol pot, and Hitler just to name a few. All these people had beliefs that what they were doing was right. The question really is then when killing for something become murder?

You also speak about how much war there was in the Bible, but I do believe that the whole plot of that book was about a man that sacrificed him self to save everyone from eternal damnation. I don't know; guess that all depends on what you believe in.

So yes one might kill for what they believe in but would they die for it? Oh but right, you do not give a "fVck".

Ugh, if a person is going to state their opinion on something they should have the balls to back it up! It is a pitty when people are like this.

Ok so I've been seeing all this stuff for Twilight right. WHAT THE HELL IS TWILIGHT? I don’t know what cave I've been in for the last few years but what ever happen to you know Anne Rice and Poppy Z. Bright. Last time I checked they were still some of the best Vampire writers known to man. Now all these little teeny boppers and like "Twilight! Twilight!". Hot topic is infected with this stuff (not like that’s saying much about anything. At the Pocket Duck Tales is considered "Vintage". It has been a quick descent into adulthood. They were playing Bush on the classic rock station I should just shoot myself.)

Not to mention those face book flare things that say "it's a twilight thing", what’s up with that? Does it mean that all you Twilight readers out there make the presumption that the book your reading is the best of its kind because you have failed to reach a high enough reading comprehension that you can not enjoy an adult level of literature?

Ok maybe that was a bit harsh. I remember being back in middle school reading Interview with a Vampire and Lost souls. I just wonder what people’s basis of comparison for this book is. I would like to know if anyone who has read some of the great vampire writers works, has read Twilight. If so what do you think? Recently I have been debating reading it (yeah I know, I know I haven’t read it so I cant say anything. Well I am so deal with it.) just so that I can figure out what the draw is to this book. I'm just worried about becoming contaminated.

Maybe I'll change my mind though, if I can get past the cognitive dissonance I'll feel after having read it.

So I have kinda let this account rot for about two years or so and I have just now decided (due to a friend's suggestion.)that I will give it another chance. SO I am cleaning it up!

I cleaned out a lot of the people I had in favorites because I seriously could not look at all the deviations that I would accumulate daily. I think that was one of the reasons I hid from this account for so long, because if I got on I felt compelled to look at all of the deviations that had wracked up. So for some reason you have noticed I deleted you and are like "wah?!" just let me know, I don’t want to lose touch with my friends here.

I am also deleting some of my old, out of date, crappy art that I don’t want to admit that I did anymore lol.

Well I should be posting some new stuff soon...I have a couple new things in the process of competition right now, hopefully those will end up posted.
