Also, when did I ever say I was a 9/11 conspiracy theorist?

So are you calling every service member that served, past and present, sheep that don't think for themselves? Not every one that refuses to serve are pansies, but I believe that you would fall under that category of a pansy.

Of course not. I'm simply pointing out the complete asshatery that was your comment.

You're over generalizing about a group of people, based on your own personal knee-jerking opinions.


My comment was 50% troll, and 50% trying to make you realize you're being a jerk-off.


Yeah, I'm such a pansy for not wanting to kill people for no reason... You have no idea who you're talking to, or what kind of person I am based on internet arguments in which half I am not even being serious.

Of course, this doesn't really matter... Mostly because INTERNET=SERIOUS BUSINESS LOL

Imaginary friends often have a hard time voicing their opinions.

Honestly I'm not sure why you think that anyone in this forum would ever believe a word you say.

Right back at ya

:laugh: gather all of that during the whole month and a half you've been here?

Hehe, no.

But I sincerely hope you're not actually THAT upset at someone making an immature crack at the armed forces. I mean, first of all, I am the most sarcastic SOB you'll ever meet, and secondly, to be that deeply nationalistic is a MENTAL CONDITION.

We're all citizens of the same planet, why must people only swing for their country? That's frightening, and that's the kind of mentality that starts wars.

I am an a$$hole, but I'm trying to make a point.

First of all, pointing out that you're a newb isn't uncalled for since you had just blindly defended Aimster simply because he's on the same side of the argument as you are. Lame.

Second, who is being "that deeply nationalistic"? Everybody is just saying they can understand their reactions.....any sane person could. It's the political trolls and idiots who act like they have a problem with it.

Thirdly, sarcastic? Where exactly were you being sarcastic in this thread? Do you know what that word means?

Fourth, he doesn't really seem that upset. Pointing out your newbness doesn't mean he's "that upset". I'd say it was generous.

You're trying to make a point? What point? People shouldn't be blindly and fanatically nationalistic? Fantastic! Sign me up for your newsletter. Now WTF does it have to do with this thread or any comment made therein?

I never defended aimster, I was attacking amish, because he's acting like a jerk.

My comment about nationalism was directed toward amish, as well. He got his panties in a twist when I cracked the joke about the armed forces.

My sarcasm was deeply woven into the joke I made.

Calling me a "F-ing prick" seems a bit upset, IMO.

My point was that saying that "the army doesn't allow pansies in" is a generalization and it pisses people off, just like my joke pissed them off.

Okay, aside from the trolling - how did they get the grenade marker over there?

I would have preferred an Artillery strike, followed by mortar bombardment. Throw in 50mm throw each window followed by flashers

But, we feel safe now. Knowing we just spent 3 million dollars on the bomb, and 200,000 dollars on the jet fuel to kill one sniper.

And even worse, he's going to respawn at his base in 15 seconds anyway.

Well, more to the point, potential snipers will feel LESS safe knowing we just spent 3 million dollars on the bomb.

And on top of that our guys are safer this way.

You are are idiot.

You suggesting I don't have friends in the armed forces?

It is a fact that many people who have been to Iraq are now messed up in the head. Are you denying that? If not then stfu and go sit in the corner where your blabbering is welcome.

How do you launch a smoke grenade that far and why would the sniper sit there with a smoke grenade burning by him?

50mm launcher. They can be very accurate.

And also, the Sniper Probably thought nothing would happen to him. A concealed sniper is a formidable opponent.

Well that was awesome. But I gotta ask. . .wouldn't it have been a lot cheaper and less destructive to lob a few grenade rounds up there from a grenade launcher? That seemed a bit excessive to take out 1 guy. Unless they thought there were potentially a lot of hostiles holed up in that building then in that case. . .Rest in pieces mothafvckers!

So would you be the one to volunteer sticking your neck out to line up a good grenade lob just to save the military a few bucks? I doubt it. They will employ whatever means they have at their disposal that presents the lowest likelihood of them getting themselves killed.

I'd nominate the guy filming the whole thing with the camera.

I'm not suggesting it. I'm flat-out stating that you're full of sh!t - your usual modus operandi.

And please, take a course in reading comprehension before you think up your next fabrication - your leap to the idea that I'm countering the "fact" that people who watch death and mutilation of friends and enemies in front of them might get "messed up in the head" is, surprise surprise, completely unwarranted.

Who the hell comes on the Internet and accuses someone who they have no knowledge about of not having any friends?
It sounds like you got a personal problem with me.
If that is the case then take it out intelligently with me or stop posting making a fool out of yourself.

That right there is my Iranian friend who served inside Iraq. Front-line infantry. He is currently in Washington State reenlisted. I have known this guy since the 1st grade.
So unless you show me one of your friends who served in the military as front-line infantry who killed hundreds of people who can say otherwise... STFU?

It is obvious you have some kind of hate towards me. I laugh at you. You got a personal grudge against someone on the Internet. I don't even know anything about YOU. I don't CARE?

Way to provide proof there freedomsbeat. Linking random Myspace photos and claiming that he's "killed hundreds of people". Very believable. Well, but your impressively poor standards it might be.

I can very easily prove he is my friend.
So unless you want to keep rambling and make a fool out of yourself why don't you continue?

Exactly. You are nothing but a little man who goes on the Internet accusing people who you know NOTHING about that they have no friends. How foolish does that sound?

So go on keep blabbering. Why don't you show me one of your friends who was in the army. Exactly.
What have you done for your nation? Exactly.
