uh, you guys could we...maybe...talk about...the topic I started this thread about and nock off the crap? I felt happy that so many posts where added to my thread only to come in here and see theres a bunch of nonsense going on.

*Ninjinister* · 10-08-2008, 11:13 PM

Or, y'know, you could be nice about it. It is human nature to go on tangent, as well as to steer others back on track.

NameGoesHere1066 · 10-08-2008, 11:18 PM

yeah but this sort of thing happens an awful lot all over the board I notice. It can get a bit tiresome after awhile. But I am sorry for coming off too bitchy about it. I was pretty annoyed. So I'm sorry.

And I apologize as well, as it was my comment that the tangent was drawn from.

This thread just turned into an episode of Full House.

Speaking of inappropriate content. Darth Shredder. Not only is your Dracula clip signature ENORMOUS, but it also contains nudity. Please remove it.

Darth Shredder · 10-09-2008, 03:41 PM

If YouTube vids (which are all a fixed size when embedded) weren't allowed because of their size, I find it odd it is a feature for signatures.

On the topic of nudity... point it out in the vid. The minute/seconds where it happens. That way everyone will know exactly where to skip to for confirmation.

2:53 - 3:01. you really should know the contents of your own signature. And just because something is allowed, doesn't mean it isnt obnoxious.

Darth Shredder · 10-09-2008, 03:50 PM

I'm not the least bit concerned what you personally find obnoxious.

And as far as the minutes/seconds in which the nudity takes place... Correct. Now, underraged children, of whom otherwise would not have watched the music video up to that point, thanks to Archon, you know where to skip to.

*Buslady* · 10-09-2008, 03:54 PM

Splinter would have to accept it.
The guys would have to make their own life decisions eventually. Splinty gave them the skills to live & survive, now he has to accept they may not want to do the ninja thing forever but he educated them, they learned, and are old enough to make their own decisions.

Leo would never leave the ninja life. Mikey might, Donnie would put it aside but Raph...I don't think he'd ever quit but I could see him wanting to do something else. Always wanting more out of life, he'd want to expand his experiences and put it aside.

There is one thing, if they were needed again they'd come back together, work out polish the skills and become the team again.

I'm not going to participate in this line of conversation anymore at this point, as you are now intentionally being inappropriate.

*Ninjinister* · 10-09-2008, 04:01 PM

Raph: Ninjutsu... I wish I could quit you....

**Jester** · 10-09-2008, 08:48 PM

I really don't know, if we're talking Mirage, I think they are kinda moving from ninjitsu, but Splinter is also dead, so that throws a wrench in it.

I'm not sure if the Turtles would ever completely turn from ninjitsu. They've been raised in it for years. It's almost like a religion to them...though I guess when you grow up you sometimes leave religion behind, but it's usually because you're away from you're parents' constant influence. That and as Splinter said, it has the practical application of self defense against hostile humans.

*Ninjinister* · 10-09-2008, 09:42 PM

And now to add some actual insight to the conversation for once...

At least from my experience, nobody can truly get away from the martial arts once it's in your system. If you slack off in training, completely disassociate with anybody who trains, or even train in another art, you will retain some essence of it within you. Whether it be something that's embedded in your soul, learned in a muscle memory situation, or in your subconscious, it's still there.

The only instance I've heard of someone un-learning a martial art is Jin of Tekken, and well... in a game with cyborgs, demons, clones, androids, dinosaurs, and monsters, that's not really a stretch of the imagination.

*triplexxx* · 10-10-2008, 01:06 AM

How Splinter would feel? Probably not be too fond, at least not until after they've got his vengeance for him...what I've always believed to be his main motivation.
Possible? Considering it's been integrated in their system at an early age and dominated their lifestyles pretty much completely, maybe not...at least can't be completely eradicated.
Could they choose an individual lifestyle, still fit in time to think about it or practice? Most definitely & their most likely choice; come across a crime-in-progress, probably react to it.

Jelly Bean · 10-21-2008, 01:38 PM

just how tough a time do you think Splinter would give the turtles if one of them wanted to stop being a ninja? I mean like in terms of the use of guilt trips and emotional manipulation to make you feel obligated to do what they want that parents are so famous for?

Evenstar227 · 10-22-2008, 03:49 PM

What about the whole "team" aspect? In TMNT IV (stop groaning) the key to defeating the Generals was that they all worked together as a team. If one brother truly wanted to give up being a ninja, wouldn't that put the rest of them in greater danger? Sure, they're all highly skilled warriors. But it looks like their "secret weapon" is working together. Hmm. Maybe that was just the moral of the story?

hey, I kind of forgot about this thread. Polite bump.
