Yeah Jiraiya would have died either way. He wouldnt leave, its not his way. Plus it was good for the plot. I didnt like Shippuden after the pain fight. All of Naruto and Shippuden leading up to that point was good. After the Pain Fight, it started becoming shit for me. I waited till the show ended officially to watch the rest. The only good thing after the Pain Fight is the final fight scene between Naruto and Sasuke.

As a catholic, I must say that Buddhism is probably one of the religions I respect more so than probably any of the other of the bunch.(Not all cultures are made equal after all.) Infact, I'd say it's the most peaceful religion, to a fault even. Since from what I understand on a technical standpoint, you're not suppose to even defend yourself or others, which I disagree with. I also disagree with, the fact most can't really eat any meat. Which sorry, Animals love me and I love them, But I love eating them as well. Life would be depressing without meat. Buddhism is a very interesting religion, I've yet to study it like I have Christianity, Jewish, Islam, Hindu, and some of the older stuff, Mostly because I haven't had the time. But I plan on it. However, I've always had a sour taste in my mouth with the idea of reincarnation on a massive scale, because it sort of..weakens the special parts of our relationships. Your father isn't your father, he's just one of many, your lover isn't the end all be all love of loves, just one of this life and then onto the next. Makes human relationships seem very insignificant to me. Which I don't particularly enjoy. But that's just the romantic side of me nitpicking. Rather you be Buddhist and not blowing people up after all. Believe what you want as long as it doesn't hurt others. Overall though, my opinion of Buddhism is Heavily positive. Just don't take away my steak or my right to defend myself, and we're cool.

I'm really sorry to hear about that - must have been pretty rough for you so I hope you're feeling okay! I know how it feels to get rejected or be seen as something less than what you wanted, heck that happened to me a couple of days ago and jeez, did I feel destroyed but things always get better soon enough. I know you'll find the right girl eventually :)
