Here is a thread on my favorite forums containing some actual photos of Japanese Samurai taken in the 1800's, probably close to the time of our Civil War. These are not drawings, they are actual photographs taken with an early black and white camera and painted to add color. It's pretty amazing to gaze upon actual photos of real Samurai, some of the last to ever exist in Japan. It helps us to see the Samurai for who they really were, considering how they have been twisted by things such as anime and western culture nowadays. They were human beings, just like you and I. Anyway, take a look, I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do

Men need to act like men and women need to like it. We aren't against women. Hell, we love women. We just want them to remember that we have a penis for a reason. Everyone knows that women, at least real women, love men who act like men. If men acted like men we wouldn't have the problems we do nowadays. Men know when they're beat and if they don't they'll soon be put in their place. Logic, power, and drive for universal betterment is the mark of the man.

Those are pretty cool. Have you ever seen that old Japanese movie trilogy (forget the title... might have just been Samurai) about Musashi Miyamoto? I think it had a pretty accurate representation of what the real samurai were like... But anime samurai are still cool.

Indeed, Samurai were well respected even at the end of their days and dressed in their battle armor I think they looked very intimidating. They were ferocious fighters and would more then likely die on the battlefield then face defeat ^_^. They were very tough people and devoted themselves to a code of honor that I think was pretty hard to live by. But indeed they were people just like anyone else and it's cool to take a look into the past like that ^_^.
