"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Sorry. Couldn't squize it all into one thread. Had to duble my work as the site logged me out for taking too long.
Hence List 1 : Samurai
List 2 and 3 : Yakuza
List 4: Miscaleneous

How about making one thread and add to it? Your threads are going to be closed, also use the search function.

Ok, show me how to do it easily. I've put 6 hours into this. Is there an easy way to combine all?

Wow! How did you do that? Thanks a lot!
