I have no doubt they felt the same about meeting you :thumbsup:</end quote></div>

My my, I wasn't expect that kind of response.

... Yes I was, I lied.</end quote></div>

do you try to be a douche in every post you make, or does it just come naturally? i bet you sit around thinking of some "great" comeback to make yourself seem cool.

It's eye for an eye. Don't deal it out if you can't take it.

Also, the marines kill people. I think they can take some criticism in the form of words without being babies about it.

Get over it.

ha, don't worry, i can take it. trolls like yourself come and go. you will have a hard time getting under my skin.

eye for an eye. interesting. it could be that the way they react to you is also an eye for an eye. you probably come off as a douche bag in real life just like you do here. so they probably don't like your "i'm a cool tough guy badass" attitude and see if you can handle what you portray.

get over yourself.

That's funny because yesterday *EXPLOSION* I watched a movie *EXPLOSION* called "The Marine." It *EXPLOSION* was pretty *EXPLOSION* much the wor *EXPLOSION* st movie *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* I've ever seen in my entire *EXPLOSION* life.

This *EXPLOSION* post *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* should give you a good *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* idea of what it was *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* like to watch that movie.

Okay, amish... But I didn't insult anyone first, I mentioned my past experience with marines, and then people "came to their rescue".

I'm sure there are good men in the marine corp, but wouldn't you agree that in order to pass as a marine, you'd have to be a pretty callous person?

I don't like power tripping a-holes, and I really don't like people who defend power tripping a-holes.

Your position or occupation does not grant you automatic respect, or an automatic right to being a dick-head.

Read over the whole thing. Did I ever insult any one of my fellow ATOT posters? No, I insulted the jerk-off marines I've met in the past, and I insulted the act of those two automatically defending the jerk-off marines I had previously insulted.

Heh, interestingly enough, I "ran into" an active Marine yesterday in World of Warcraft. The guy treated me like complete shit with a nice superiority complex over "civvies". He was also racist and said I must be a ***** because I was farming... yet so was he :confused:. Then I went on about him lacking respect and he went on about discipline being shitting your pants in enemy territory.... Needless to say it was an interesting conversation that started over him trying to herbalize a mob I killed (and I was also trying to herbalize my own kill).

EDIT: Seems the filter works on that racist word... he used the common racial slur for Vietnamese.

EDIT 2: The conversation was actually kind of amusing. It seems that some Marines stereotype Americans as hating them. Personally, the "in your face" type tends to annoy me, so that didn't help much.

you posted flamebait and tried to hide it with the little cutesy remark at the end, "just saying." those people that responded stuck up for what the marines stand for and who the marines are. i doubt there have been many, if any, that have stuck up for you based on your posts and sig.

you're right, my occupation or position doesn't grant me automatic respect or a right to being [sic] a dickhead. but that also works both ways. why should i, and the other members of this forum, put up with your flamebaits, trolls, and other forms of asshattery? people are tired of your lame posts that you then cover up with a "whatever" or "i don't care".

you can hate me all you want for "defending" the marines. i could give two shits about the marines since i prefer GIs to Jarheads. i merely pointed out the fact that you come off as a douche in every post you make. it sounds like you are the one that can't deal with it. so tell me, with every post i make calling you out make your heart beat a little bit faster or harder? if so, you might follow your own advice and go outside.

In response to the heart beating faster thing, not usually, no. I do this while I'm working on projects at work, so once I'm done at 4pm, I'm gone. I'm sure I get into it with some people, but so are you, right now.

Also, I never said I hated you. I am not attacking the marines, I'm attacking assholes, and that includes asshole marines.

You need to take things I say more literally, my first post in this thread was completely plain and simple, I meant no disrespect to the marines who actually do something useful, and aren't jerks about it.

There was no foaming at the mouth on my part, this time around. ;)

Try to have a good weekend, amish.

This isn't directed towards anyone in particular but I really don't care for people who feel just because they served in any branch of the armed forces that they're somehow the perfect leader and that they suddenly know what's best in all things they touch.

Wonderful. You were in the military. Thank you for sacrificing your time and hard work for this country. That does not, however, entitle you to be a prick, look down on others, or grant you some sort of all knowing superpowers nor does it elevate your opinion above that of others.

Now that you mention it, I can't think of a day where I woke up and said "Today is the day I will fsck with the Marines."

Really been taking your minerals if you ever wake up like that.

I was just having fun with what you said...and YOU are actually the one who threw the FIRST insult. You've really gotten off easy when you consider that you have said: "every marine I've met has been a foul tempered asshole"

True or not...YOU opened the ball, don't b!tch when you are asked to dance...;)
