Why dont people have honor and moral standing anymore these days?

I really hope the kendo world isnt like this. Me getting kicked from my ballet company (spite the loss of money...though ballerinas get pain crap) is starting to look ever more wonderful everyday....

Sadly, dishonorfull ppls are found in all communities. I've literally heard ppls say things like "I don't care if my armor isn't tied correctly" or "I don't care about my equipment as long as I don't get another's broken sword in my face".

Also seen ppls not bowing when entering the dojo when the sensei is looking the other way. I actually got in a fight over that once, I poked the guy who refused to bow like "hey, aren't you forgetting something?" and he suddenly started to yell at me. In the end I got my right when the sensei interfered and the guy hasn't been back since

My sensei always tought me, if your not sure if you should bow (or any custom really), just bow anyway, it's better to bow one time to many than to be disrespectfull by not bowing at all.

I kind of stopped reading after have read "website called dance.net" and "flame war".

Kendo is a way of life

Internet forum & honour don't mix.

I love to post on dance.net although I look like a hippo in my tights... I used to be known by my friends at the convent as the 'lord of the dance'... happy days...

....hmmm this explains so much....

Don't really worry about it. I mean its just a board. Whats the worst that can happen, someone not like you?

[konanoileaski]

...Kendo is just a cover-up so people think I'm tough and manly. My real passion is posting in dance.net and making flame wars with people who don't like my step dancing...

Hmm, that was something I didn't know crabbi.

No, I take it further and mock those who deserve the merciless wrath... of my wrath.

as long as you dont get in futile arguments with some of our members, you'll most likely find that you enjoy it greatly.

I agree. There are some great people on here. I thought I knew a lot about Kendo (and compaired to most in my area I do) But man I have learned a ton from everyone on here. You're looking for honor? This is probably the best internet place to find it. And I guarentee that a kendo dojo will have pleanty of it to spair.

[Spongebob]

People take this board too seriously.

[Jannet.K]

Hmm, that was something I didn't know crabbi.

Bwahahahahahaha! That really cheered me up... thanks Hai_hai...!
