I thought you were... xPOh, were you wanting to be even more random? xPThe random conversation we just had... xPAaand, end of discussion? xPWait, what?
Me? What makes you think that? xP
Matthew Minica
Ssh, I can't let Cory or Marija or Gloria know that I did this. xPYeeep. xP ^I forgive you even if you did facedesk... ;P^Oh, so you've watched that too then?Do you know about the pre-traitor Benedict Arnold?Only what I've heard from Liberty's Kids... which might not be the most accurate... =P
Hmm… Shall I be nice or not… That is the question… =P
Matthew Minica
Which means I might make even worse ones for the rest of the month! Oh horrors! *jumps out the window*Horrors is right! Someone catch Matthew, quick! xP
^I don't think there is quite enough craziness in the room right now. xP^
Emily H
Agreed. :D That they're willing to risk their lives to defend their country...and that spying was considered so dishonorable, spies would be hung and not shot because being shot was more honorable. xP And then how bravely they face death too...Exactly! Even if I don't agree with their cause, I still admire courage and loyalty, always. :D Do you know much about Dietrich Bonhoeffer? That's my favorite spy story ever. xD No, I don't know much about the pre-traitor Arnold! What was he like? :P And Emily Geiger volunteered to carry a message through British lines... i can't remember much of her story, but basically she got caught and then, while the British went to get a lady to search her, she memorized the message, ripped it up, and swallowed it.
Definitely. :D Not a whole lot, but from what I do know of him, I admire him greatly.
Ahh, his story is so sad. He was a great soldier and patriot, was wounded in the Battle of Saratoga, I believe, but then, from what I've heard/studied, he was passed up for promotion, married an extravagant British lady, then turned traitor, fled to England and died an outcast…no one likes traitors. One time he asked an American POW what would happen to him if the Americans captured him… the POW informed him that his leg which had been wounded would be cut off and buried with full military honors while the rest of him would be hung. To this day there are monuments at the battle fields honoring the officers who fought so bravely…where his name should be is just left blank.

^Sorry. :P You know, this is actually the first time in a while that there've been mostly serious conversations on here today… xP^
2 Corinthians 5:17
pops on Wow, what an interesting (and random) conversation. About Liberty's kids, just remember; James, Sarah, and Andre are all fictional characters. :P
And now I go to bed. pops off
^sends a special hello to Emily because I haven't talked with her on here in forever^ :'( xP

Hey, like I said, it is kind of hard to have deeper conversations on a public forum!

Are we getting used to each other? Or did we run out of craziness? xD

About Liberty's Kids - well, yeah, that's kind of obvious, their ages never change! xP

has a feeling Matthew is trying to make things crazy in here? xP jk
Matthew Minica
Not particularly… xP I need to leave here in a few minutes anyways. You can probably go ahead and say your goodbyes.

Okay. :D I read a huge long book about Bonhoeffer once, and now I totally love his story. It still makes me think, because the ethical implications of what he did are kinda complicated.
That is so sad!! Wow… to go through all that and then die a traitor… just wow.
Matthew Minica
Oh, and see you tomorrow? x)
ZachB

But what if I plan on staying on here to beat Gloria's "last post"? xP jk I really need to get off too, so goodnight everyone!

I know it's hard to have deep conversations, but you can have serious conversations (as opposed to silly ones) without being deep. xP
Matthew Minica
Goodnight Zach! And everyone else!

Wow! I so admire people who are brave and quick thinking. xD There was one guy who was spying for the British and was trying to take them a message, he came across some soldiers, and, thinking they were British asked to be taken to Clinton. Well, apparently the Patriots had a Clinton too, so they took the spy to him. Realizing his mistake, the spy swallowed his message…so they made him drink some stuff that made him throw up…he swallowed the message again and they told him if he kept that up, they'd cut his stomach out. :-/
^I'm sorry that I'm kind of not keeping up…my computer isn't working very well which is one of the reasons I don't talk on here very much^

Lol, that's right. xP Which that reminds me of another movie I watched…the kids were with Joseph as a boy, and then fast forwarded into when he was ruler. Joseph, of course, remembered them, and said "You three haven't changed a bit!" Their response? "Uhhh…We work out a lot."
Anyway. XP really leaves now

I'm sure we didn't run out of craziness. xP It'll be back before long, I'm sure. xP
Goodnight Zach!

True, but it's hard to be serious when other people won't be. And if someone teases you, you just have to get back at them, don't you? xP

Ohh yikes. :-/ Yeah, that's an example of a not-so-nice spy story… I mean, yeah, it's war and war is nasty, but still…
^Haha, that's okay.^
