Headmaster Monokuma Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's about time you have gotten something written Jake. We hear all the big talk, yet nothing is shown. Perhaps it's just me, but my interest has severely waned. And thank goodness for Thanksgiving. I need the break from school more than the food.

Thar Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Let's not compare our struggles with the troops. Their experiences are a whole different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headmaster Monokuma Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Just because someone has more going on then I might does not mean I don't feel stressed. I have no reason to feel bad about it. Honestly, people like you who claim one person can't complain because some has something worse going on are some of the worst kind of people. Yes, the troops have more stress then nearly anyone, however, that under no circumstances means I can't need a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thar Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Meh, it kinda sucks for me cause my only real day off this week is Thanksgiving day, and because I had to work earlier, I couldn't go to the aquarium with my family. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of DMG Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Honestly, people tend to complain about what's going on in their lives, and how stressed out they are. But, honestly, any one of y'all can trade positions with me any day. I'd be a lot less stressed than I am now, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I like someone who is understanding and trustworthy. [/quote] [b][i]LOYALTY[/b][/i]. Yes, I want honesty, understanding, and trustworthy but god help me if you aren't loyal get the f*** away from me Loyalty is so important to me you do not even understand.

CinnamonStar Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Awww I don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. What do people eat?=o Also, the whole first-world-problems thing is only half-right IMO. Yes, ain't nobody got time for that, but you shouldn't measure suffering. Saying that someone's issues are irrelevant just because someone else out there is worse off is usually silly (oh I know nobody said that here, but this just came to mind). Friend: Someone you can count on and who knows about and can deal with the different parts of your personality. Like, [i]deal[/i], not 'suck it up and worship me just cause we're friends'.

Thar Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I have the same approach as Dane: Let people come to me and let things flow from there. I stopped looking for friends since I lost my last one. Now it's just a bonus if I gain some during college. All I really care about is getting money and doing what I feel like.

Spirit of DMG Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Okay, I don't know if y'all know this or not, but I am in the troops. And in about one month, I'm goin to Afghanitan.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 So is the evil spirit an entirely new character or is this a character who died in DEF during the Inactive War? And if I'm not mistaken, there is an armed force known as the 'Free Army' or something to that tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
