Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Did you ever stop to think that someone who honors the traditional Bushido may find such light-hearted jests about a very somber ritual offensive?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 When you spend 4/5 days a week, 2/3 hours a day of your life in a very traditional japanese dojo for 5 years, where you are not allowed to cough, sneeze or speak without permission, and most discourse is restricted to speaking in japanese and your black belt test requires a written exam on the culture of bushido and philosophy in 16th century japan.... you earn the right to make fun of yourself every once in awhile. I appreciate that you care, though:D Did you ever stop to think that someone who honors the traditional Bushido may find such light-hearted jests about a very somber ritual offensive?
