I wanted to put a quote at the bottom of my replies, like so many do. So I went to my profile page and entered it in the signature part. But now when I look it does not show up. Am I doing something wrong?
THANKS!!!

When you start a thread, or reply to a post there is a little box in the options section that you must *check*. It simply says, "Show Signature"!

Hope this helped!

NAN,
Are you certain that quoting Benito Mussolini sends the message that you want???

NAN, if you hadn't told us you were a teenager this whould have been a good clue. Are you advocating this viewpoint?

Leave Nan alone... He/She is showing the irony of the whole thing. Such a poignant statement... Yet it is coming from a ruthless Dictator, as Benito Mussolini.

Very Good Nan!

I chose the quote for the statement, not the author. I put the author beacuse I feel that a the author of any quote deserves to have his name by his quote. I hope nobody feels insulted by this quote.
THANKS!!!

As James likes to say....

Sheesh.....

War is Noble? Nobles used to conduct wars. Which meant that they gathered up a lot of peasants and sent them out to be slaughtered by other peasants who were owned by other nobles. It's really not too much different today. Having known a number of combat veterans, I have serious doubts about any notion that Glorifies war. And Irony is evidently Not the point of the use of this quote.

I'm not Insulted, just Aggravated. The statement is Insane, just like Benito.

Your argument is understandable, but you should not take it so literally. When nobility is used it is not referring to feudalism, but to a courageous person; somebody who faces the war instead of running away, which is noble. I know the quote seems out of place, because of the author, but thetas who said it. Again I apologize if anybody is offend by it.
THANKS!!!

Nan, never take Me too literally. I understood that interpretation of the statement the first time I read it. I love to play with werdz. They are my weapons.

I agree that facing adversity with a brave heart and mind is noble. Nonetheless, your quote Will offend some. It's conclusions about the motivating power of war are just plain wrong in my view. Plenty of folks are inspired to explore the limits their potential by more than War Alone.

You don't need to apologize for it if you feel the need to make the statement. It's provocative, and it will get reactions. But I think that's the idea, no?

I would only ask that you drop the ALL CAPS, and fix the spelling of the word THOSE, if only to increase comprehension and decrease distraction.

Paracelsus, noting that Not fighting can be more courageous and noble than fighting. Sun Tzu in The Art of War said that the greatest warrior defeats his enemy without needing to fight. That is a much higher ideal than what Mussolini had in mind (imo).

NAN,
My comment was not a criticism of your signature quote (although I do disagree with it). I was only expressing a concern as to the image you present by choosing a quote from a fascist madman. In truth, we are often judged by the company we keep.
