Donadaliheligv Ren, seems like there are few Jedi members getting married now.

You've proven my point right there without realizing it. Acting like someone you aren't through texting to try to be more appealing to the person you are texting reveals something about your personality, it shows a lack of self confidence and the willingness to deceive to get what you want. The truth is always a better way to go and using texting as a means to act differently than you usually would without being "caught" will never end well. Relationships will have much more meaning if you always act how you feel and that doesn't change no matter which mode of communication you are using.

But all people have done it before and in the end they all stop. In the end they realize what they have done. I have not proven your point because it is not true that the persons real personality and real self is shown through texting if you believe this then you do not look at yourself I bet everyone has done it before even you. I know people who change who they are for the group they are with and that is the same thing for texting. It does not mean that they do not have self confidence nor that they are trying to be deceiving but that it is something all human beings do. We are a species that looks for others approval.

Good luck to you both.

Is there such a thing as Jedi divorce?

Anywho...

A peacock isn't his big shiny tail. Those are just feathers. But he uses it to snag a mate. Is a romantically worded text so different?

I don't know that its "killed" romance. I do know that romance is difficult to achieve via texts. Its always better to stick to traditional means for that kind of a deep connection in my opinion.

a romantically worded text is fine as long as it is something you would do in person. Which is what some people do not.

I've not followed this thread all that closely.

I feel that only people can kill romance (killing the bird, thus the song, thus himself ... remember ?)

Romance will be alive as long as there is poetry. Texting has become a form of poetry. So, to offer one answer to the original question, I would say "no."

Should there even be such a thing as jedi marriage? With us all being linked together by the Force anyway...

:laugh: How many discussions is it now that we've bashed western women and feminism (because they're one in the same *sarcasm* )? Sorry to burst your bubble, boys, but the whole women having their own minds and power is spreading. Just look at S. Korea.

Anyways, why is it always the "western woman's" fault. I mean come on...come on...

I consider the modern western woman a victim of feminism. Sorry but a little girl who says she wants a career instead of getting married and having kids has had her childhood robbed. Girls are part of the "girl power" movement, need everything in the girl color, read girl magazines...

Kids should be poking earth worms, wondering where the mouth and eyes are. When I was a kid, the vast majority of my friends were immigrants... And this is exactly what we'd do. We had equal concerns, were equally filthy, had equal interests, (committed crimes together too) and you know what? We had boyfriends and girlfriends, no racism, no girl gangs, no boy gangs, no gender culture. the only conflicts we had were with the kids from the posh school...

Also, if you think the western woman gets blamed for stuff, try being a western man. We get blamed for pretty much everything. World poverty, war, slavery, everything. If a woman doesn't have what she wants, it's a man's fault. If you're a man, you can't be raped, you can't be a victim of sexism. If you're white, you can'be a victim of racism. A woman opposed to abortion? She's definitely being controlled by a man.

What feminism does is blame one group for the problems of another group, of which it pretends being the representative. Sounds familiar?

All any of this does, is first create a climate of hostility, confrontation, and then separation of such groups so that they may survive (I wonder how this is going to turn out).

The only proper way to prevent gender, racial, or other issues, is to prohibit government and all its insitutions/agencies/spending programmes from discriminating on the basis of gender (race, sexuality, whatever) in anyway... (feminism does the opposite of that)

Make things so that there is no such thing as a "male citizen" or a "homosexual citizen" or an "asian citizen".

Racism and sexism, other forms of discrimination may still exist, but in the private sphere only. Corporations, individuals... And it is their right (freedom of conscience, religion, etc). But they only have that right on their own private property.

That is very interesting…

After thinking about it I would say yes. I agree that we are all linked together (unified) in the Force. But our human experience; how we experience life as corporeal beings, is in part defined in our actions while in this form.

Where all our spirits are one in the Force, our bodies are unique vessels from which we experience life and part of that experience is the expression of love and commitment. Jediism is our expression of our spiritual and philosophical beliefs and marriage is our expression of love and sincerity. So a Jedi marriage could very well be the expression of love and sincerity through our spiritual and philosophical beliefs.
