A classmate of mine put that on his Facebook... I thought it was interesting

Martin Luther King Jr. also dreamed of an America where black people were not second-class citizens.

He succeeded in that, if nothing else. So I think he'd be proud.

Totally, he was a great man.

This quote holds particular importance for those of you who seek to better yourselves as role players, for you must ask yourselves whenever your character performs an action, which of the seven or more are the cause of that action. If your character has no reason to do something than you need to re-evaluate whether you should have them preform such action.

Can a mother get ''bored'' of loving her children? Can a husband grow ''bored'' of his wife? If so, the love was never there to begin with. There is no way you can get *bored* of loving someone. True love can't ''expire'' or be ''exhausted''. Love is unconditional and irrespective to time and circumstance.

I disagree. Love can fade, love can die, but that doesn't mean it was never there in the first place. It just wasn't strong enough to last.

Now, those occasions when it DOES last a lifetime...

I like this topic. We should make a thread solely on debating love. A LOVE FEST...DEBATING...THING.

A couple of days ago, I was on Yahoo! answers and there was a question, ''Can you get bored of loving someone''? It was posted by a woman whose boyfriend, of 3 years, broke up with her with his explanation being ''I got bored of loving you.''


If I ever marry, I would plan to spend the rest of my life with that person, until death does us part. I can't fathom being married for 10 or 20 or 30 years only to have my spouse say ''i got bored of loving you.'' I pity any child that has their parent tell them they don't love them anymore because they didn't turn out to be the child they wanted and they were too *boring* to love. Because if you got bored or tired of loving someone, then that means your love for them MUST have been conditional. I don't believe in conditional love. If love has to be ''strengthened'' to last, then it must not have been strong enough to begin with, in my eyes.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

We don't, actually, because I agree with you. Love can last a lifetime. It doesn't always, or even most of the time, but it can. And if you absolutely must marry someone, it should be someone that you know, in your heart of hearts, you will never stop loving.

Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?

What is 'love' anyway?

I'm personally intensely skeptical of the value of virtually every emotion, but it is my personal opinion that Love is simply suffers from being one of the many words for which people no longer have adequate respect for.

Love is defined as "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person."

Yet this is almost never how we use it in modern conversation, someone who 'loves pizza' does not possess a profound, tender affection for pizza, they simply possess a stronger than average attraction for it, and because they lack sufficient vocabulary to efficiently express this in an alternative fashion they use the word 'love.' Then when someone feels a stronger than average attraction for a person, they mistake it for love, and attempt to treat it as such.

This would be easily expressed as the modern difference between 'true love' and 'love.' 'True love' has become what 'love' is supposed to be.

This combined with the fact that our society is evolving ever more toward self-importance, people are more and more attempting to dramatize their lives, call it life imitating art. People who simply feel an attraction for another attempt to treat it as love, and because, well frankly, most people are stupid, it works, for a time. Eventually though that attraction fades, and the relationship is left behind to decay from within.

Now my personal opinion of marriage aside, I do believe that the increase number of marriages within a given life time is chiefly due to the emergence of the 'look at me culture' that is also responsible for such sites as MySpace and FaceBook. As I said people want to dramatize their lives, they want to make themselves special, so when they find something they feel distinguishes them, they want to show it off. Thus when people find something that passes for love, they want to show it off, and thus they have a wedding, now both those participating would thoroughly enjoy this facade, because quiet frankly they want to believe it's real so much that they're unwilling to admit that it's not. Why do you think you never hear about a divorced person looking back on their wedding with joy? The memory of what is supposedly the happiest day of their lives results in bringing them nothing but unhappiness, likely because they're either angry with themselves for being so foolish as to believe in the facade, or sad that it failed.

Again this is just my personal opinion, but I would like to mention that even after, gimme a second, 4 years of dating, continuously, Bloodless and I are still lothe to speak the word 'love' to one another, granted I use it as a noun in reference to her, but not as a verb in respect to my feelings for her. Now does this mean that I do not 'love' Bloodless? No, the absence of my willingness to label something does not mean that the label I am unwilling to apply does not fit, but the fact of the matter is that I have never, to my knowledge 'been in love' thus I have nothing to compare my feelings for Bloodless to. I do know that I like her very much, that I enjoy her company far more than virtually anyone else I have ever encountered, and that despite my deeply rooted personal hatred for virtually all other embodiments of mankind, that when I imagine spending time with Bloodless I cannot help myself but smile. Does this mean that I 'love' her? I can't say, but I will say that I do intend, should our relationship continue to be as it is now that I hope one day to marry Bloodless. However I would like to also state that despite being willing to entertain the idea as an ultimate objective of our relationship, that I am not making any plans for such an event in the near future. I possess the intention to eventually marry Bloodless, but do not currently possess the ability to perform the necessary ritual to satisfaction.

It is my personal belief that such events should only be done when they can be done right. I am poor, unemployed, and living in my father's house, thus it is beyond my current ability to, as I like to think of it, 'have a wedding worth having.' Too many people today seem to believe that your wedding day is innate designed to be the happiest day of your life, I do not believe this, I believe that a wedding day should be the happiest day of the couple's respective lives, but that this quality is not innate to it being their wedding day. Thus one should only have a wedding day when they have the ability to conceivable make it the happiest day of their partner's life. A wedding worth having, and a ring worth wearing.

People don't respect things as much as they should anymore, chiefly words. Love is one of the words which has lost it's power. People are too concerned with themselves today, it's one of the many reasons I hate them, Love is not something you feel, it is something which someone else makes you feel. You're supposed to be grateful to them for providing you that feeling, and do everything you can to provide them the same. Instead today people are too busy turning 'like' into 'love' and 'love' into 'true love' I shudder to think what our children will be calling what we call 'true love.'

And if you absolutely must marry someone, it should be someone that you know, in your heart of hearts, you will never stop loving.

You are right. When you marry, you should KNOW that its the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?

Thats a good question. I think it can be confirmed rather than bloom on the battlefield. When the smoke clears and the one you love is still there, that shows how strong the love is.

I think some people are quick to acknowledge every small sign of affection they feel for another as love because they are afraid they will be alone forever. They WANT to feel love so bad, they impute Love as something to be attained, rather than something you must feel. People just don't know what love means. Its often confused with lust or just a simple crush.

WRONG ANSWER. AS PUNISHMENT YOU MUST SLEEP IN THE BARN WITH THE COWS. THERE'S PLENTY OF MILK IF YOU GET THIRSTY. OR CALCIUM DEFICIENT.

The correct answer is as follows:

"Yeah. I do. I believe that anytime...anywhere...people can fall in love. But...if you love someone, then you have to be able to protect them."

Even sometimes when a child isn't brought up feeling cared for or 'loved', they don't understand the emotion when they grow up and end up in the real world. If anybody does anything that would be considered nice or polite, they blow it up to be, to other people, extreme proportions. Certain environments can confused or twisted emotions from what they were originally meant to be.

Gasp!!! Quote or no quote, that is my opinion. My SACRED, SUPER IMPORTANT, SUPER DUPER OPINION. For using your insiduous trickery to beguile me into answering a rhetorical question, and then dishonoring said answer, I sentence you both to 1 million smacks with a 6 foot wet noodle while baking cookies to accomadate my newfound abundant supply of milk. VENGANCE SHALL BE CRAZY'S!!!
