I've seriously being trying to understand this one all night. I can't. As someone who lived through the Troubles in Ireland, even I don't come remotely close to going through something like Vietnam and yet I would never desire to go through that again.

I really don't think you can understand what living through something like that is like. I wasn't even a target in the Troubles and yet I did fear for my safety at times.

I am recovering from illness related post traumatic stress disorder and that is no fun either. I'm not going to go into it, I'd rather no,t but this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-traumatic_stress_disorder - is a start.

From your responses I really don't believe you actually want this secret to come through. It seems like you're trying to stir shit. Perhaps not. Perhaps your just not very good at explaining your position.

Regardless, I think 8 is idiotic.

Yeah, yeah, you can come along now and go 'You can't tell me what to think', well newsflash, I can tell you whatever I want. You don't have to listen, frankly I don't care if you do, but I can say whatever I want.

8 - I didn't know the response would be so overwhelmingly negative when I made the secret. After getting them, though, I'm getting pissed off. Newsflash, people can state opinions and frankly, you never had to listen either, and I can say whatever I want.

I still wish I were there. :)

Yeah, it is strange that people aren't really supportive of wanting to have limbs blown off or friends killed before their eyes. What weirdos!

And the fact that they're disagreeing with you and *shock* stating their opinions? Utter madness.
