My impression is that most people here don't care that much about swearing, although I think to be tasteful, keep it out of thread titles. Although with a thread title like that in general, you'd get about a million people jumping down your throat.

Although I'm curious as to why I was quoted.

Rabbit-chan is all I think about everyday. Sometimes I cry myself to sleep thinking about how I'll never be with her.

/b/ tards are....

Well, it's a long story. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//b/tard)

So it refers to the equivilant of generalites on some anime wannabe fandom forum, have I got that right?

Can it really be that NationStates general has not heard of /b/?

Indeed. Most of us aren't big fans of that stuff.

My impression is that most people here don't care that much about swearing, although I think to be tasteful, keep it out of thread titles. Although with a thread title like that in general, you'd get about a million people jumping down your throat.

Nah, about all that'd happen is it'd get changed by a mod.

Oh. My. Fucking. God. No fucking wonder why there's so much shit going on in Iraq! Our soldiers are fucking /b/-tards! I mean, I frequent /b/, but I'm certainly not devoted to it! Dear god... What does this mean?

No, you simply made it redundant. Marines are NOT soldiers.

You obviously hate the US military so much that you will use any slander, however blatantly untrue, to ridicule it. I pity you. For your sake, I only hope that someday you will realize the courage of these soldiers and the deprivations and dangers they go through...for you.

Or you can be a spoiled brat all your life. Your choice.

So the second somebody posts a picture that is obviously meant to be nothing more than a harmless poke at someone, they suddenly hate our soldiers. I hope I never have to serve besides you. Mainly because you are so close minded that you can't take a stupid little joke.

4chan (Japanese: Yotsuba, lit. "four leaves" Channel) is an English language imageboard, based on the famous Japanese imageboard Futaba Channel. It was first announced and created as an offshoot of the Something Awful forums, but soon attracted anime fans from around the world. On 4chan, many pictures (often related to anime and manga) are posted and critiqued.

Sounds like an anime wannabe fandom forum to me, but sure, I'll check it out.

Clearly, they were implying that US soldiers are stupid, and the cause of all the rioting and violence.

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the meaning of them holding up that sign, I do think this was more than a joke.

Sadly, this is post-9/11 America. One joke at a soldier or anything/anyone patriotic, and we automatically are anti-American.

No matter how I look at it, it seems much more like they were making a shout out to their friends on a popular message board. The text in said OP was hinting a prod at the fact that said forum seems to be full of spammers, and spammers are generally random. I can see nowhere that it implies that US soldiers are stupid.

You clearly didn't read the whole thread.

Why don't you just come out and tell me what exactly I'm missing, if I am indeed missing anything?

This has all been quite clearly spelled out above, but I'll do it one more time, using small words you might understand.

There is a forum. It's called 4Chan. The people who go there are nicknamed /b/tards.

Some military types hang out there. Some of those military types took a picture. In the picture they were holding up a sign greeting their friends. They added the forum nickname to the picture.

The Waaaagh posted the picture. He (?) made a joke that these military types were spending too much time on the forum.

Then you came in and trolled the thread.

Uh... no...

And that's the answer to your original question. :)

Exactly so.
