The quote in your sig's "We make war that we may live in peace." Is not from Rome. It is from Greek.

you confuse us for caring.
last time u thought something was funny, u about got sat on. so just maybe it would be safer to keep these things to urself.
I knew the name sounded familiar..
https://talk.gatewa.rs/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=89365A lot of it has been deleted now, but many will remember why it got the reaction it did. Yeah, so the quote my not be completely accurate, but it is a good quote none the less, and works for them.

When did I say this was funny? Maybe I was telling them that the quote was not from Rome? But then again I guess you just can't see that. I said it is the most famous quote and that they messed it up. That is all not to anger anyone or even make fun of them. So back of, please?
Munchy: It may work for them, but as a history lover I do this kind of stuff and try to fix it.

If I was an <modded> I would make fun of it. When I am trying to fix it. I never do PM's. And I will not start because you want me too. An umage is not something I care about. I am a person. I take what I say and never go back on it. I will not change my ways. I am a bold person. If I was someone that cared about their image like most do I would have said nothing. But when history is used and put into something that is about a few hounder years in the past I will not let it go. I am someone that is nice and everyone has told me that. Why? I do not know if it is true. Nor do I care. I do my stuff. I make lyrics and think they are crap and others like. I draw and hate it and others like it. I don't know why. Yes I may have a low self-esteem, but that is something I can use. Because I may be great at one thing and them become godlier over the years just to improve.
But I stick by why I posted that.

you stick by what you say? umm then why did u ask a mod to delete ur last flop?
I asked it to be locked as it was. I do not intend to dwell on a subject that I myself do not care so much about. I posted it because it was funny. It was not my words. It was that I thought it was funny. So really I was standing by the hummer I seen.

In all fairness, do they claim that it is a Roman quote?

No but they say they are Romans... And no Roman ever fought for peace. They fought for power. There was no one that ever said that quote, that was from Rome. If there was show it to me.

ok wth is this?
first of all our motto is from a latin phrase
"si vis pacem para bellum" which means "if you want peace, prepare for war"
whether or not the Romans fought for "peace" or for "power" is a matter of opinion.
2ndly it doesnt matter if it came from the Greeks. Do you know what happened to the Greeks? They became highly valuable Roman slaves, and many later gained their freedom and citizenship.
but seriously... there is actually a thread devoted to this? wth.

I do not care about your motto. I care about your quote on stuff that is meant to be Roman. Which is highly now Roman. I stand by history. And when you guys quote Greek stuff and put it on Roman stuff I will say something. I do not care who you are. Even you Titania.
