I remember we used to have a thread like this, it was good fun. I mean, we all love basking in our Generalite elitism, no? :p Other forums only, please, so this doesn't turn into a flame war.

This amusing little exchange happened recently to me.

Note not all terrorists are from the Middle East.

correct me, oh mighty one :rolleyes:

You've never heard of the IRA? Jemaah Islamiyah? Aum Shinrikyo? Abu Sayyaf?

The IRA is a retirement fund, idiot, and the other ones sound middle eastern to me.

...

Other forums are an illusion created by the Mighty Myrth and His Servitors to test the faith of Generalites.

That's why we're better than they are. ;)

i just pulled something Laughing at that

Correct.

The IRA is a retirement fund, idiot, and the other ones sound middle eastern to me.
ZOMG

Yeah, retirement fund. Those old people are dangerous, ever watch South Park? The only way to protect ourselves is close down the breakfast buffets.

Technically the silly guy is right about the IRA, since the USA does not consider the IRA to be a foreign terrorist organisation. Why that is so is beyond me though.

Because of those Americans that cling onto their Irish heritage and a romantic view of what that means

I don't know if it counts as a "forum," but there's a very active comments section on a blog that I frequent, and some real winners have appeared there.

**WARNING: This example involves reference to anal sex. May not be work-safe. Rated "M" for Mature.**

Most recently, we were commenting on an article from http://men.style.com/ about anal sex. The article was originally titled, "Is it okay to demand anal sex?" and is basically all about hetero guys who like to demand that female partners engage in anal sex because it is painful and demeaning for the women. This should give you an idea of how fun the discussion got.

The best part, for me, was when I pointed out that if anal sex is painful for you or your partner, you're doing it wrong. I even posted a couple of helpful links that help explain things for people who have never tried anal sex but are interested in doing so. If you actually prepare correctly, anal sex should NOT be painful, and shouldn't really be any more messy than PIV sex. (I'm not personally in to anal sex, but I believe that it's always best to inform and educate so people can make good choices and can be safe while exploring sex.)

The response was priceless.

It was literally a long series of hetero boys trying to explain how forcing a penis into a woman's unlubricated anus with no foreplay whatsoever is proof that they are Very Studly Dudes. They all went to great lengths to describe how lousy they are in bed, triumphantly describing their failure to use lube or protection and their ability to batter their way in without helping their partner relax in any way.

At least half a dozen posts of that sort went up, before the female posters started responding with uproarious laughter and pitying pats on the head.

I think the Studly Hetero Boys were expecting the bitchez to get all angry and complain about how sexist they were. That would have allowed the boys to bond over how awesome they are for pissing off women, and how Manly they are for putting the bitchez in their place.

Instead, they just got a torrent of women giggling at them and explaining--in great detail--all the reasons why their Studly Stories actually show that the poor boys have absolutely no skills whatsoever.

Clearly, wiki isn't the other guy's friends. Yes, I understand, it is difficult to develope high-level internet skills.:rolleyes:

Maybe those americans still think they're at war with the British for the independence of the Colonies. Oh my... I have the proof that the Brits are terrorists! Royal Air Force = RAF = Rote Armee Fraktion! Aiee!!! The skies of Britain are full of commie terrorists!;)

Weird. Why the hell would a retirement fund call itself the Irish Republican Army? idiot.

In all fairness I assume he was talking about this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Retirement_Account), but that doesn't excuse that he apparently hadn't heard of the Republican Army version...

Weird. Why the hell would a retirement fund call itself the Irish Republican Army? idiot.
Don't know, but I know why it would call itself the Individual Retirement Account :rolleyes:

Weird. Why the hell would a retirement fund call itself the Irish Republican Army? idiot.

And why would a terrorist organisation call itself Estimated Time of Arrival?

Weird. Why the hell would a retirement fund call itself the Irish Republican Army? idiot.

angry Irish accountants on strike?

And why would a terrorist organisation call itself Estimated Time of Arrival?

Or AdventureQuest... :p

since when did the the US government's opinions dicate reality?

october 23, 1982. there was an official proclamation by usia declaring that the usian government's opinions would henceforth dictate reality. duh.

And why would a terrorist organisation call itself Estimated Time of Arrival?

because they weren't really interested in causing deaths, so they always called in their bombs to the police.

From the other forum I inhabit, a dumbass who asked a question that would violate OPSEC (operational security).

*Holds up his hands* Whoa! Okay!
I'm just curious! Nothing more. People talk plenty about how well the Beretta works, how well the M4 works, and how well the 5.56 works in all the gun rags, no holds barred, and it's all made very public, even though that seems like it would endanger the lives of our troops.
I just figured it would be okay to ask, and if it's not okay, that's cool. It's idle curiousity, and I didn't know a question about how fast a unit chews up batteries would be a violation of OPSEC/PERSEC.
I'm sorry. I don't have much experience and I'm just curious about stuff.

october 23, 1982. there was an official proclamation by usia declaring that the usian government's opinions would henceforth dictate reality. duh.

The Reagan Correctness Proclamation I believe it was.

Even better, from the other forum...

Well, I made only about 10 posts and Im done here. To be recognized or even have your posts not flamed requires you to be at least an E-6 in a spec ops outfit who is eating the liver of a man you've just killed. This forum is so elitist, you have had charges brought up on a man for lying about his unit.

Even better, from the other forum...

Yeah, that is stupid. Recognition based on the 10,000 post count is much cleaner. :)

Well, if people want "accountability" and "truth in identity", that's the forum to go to post and read.

Even better, from the other forum...
I fail to see how that is stupid, being the truth and all (though he forgot to add "in complete and total support of all US actions"). Sorry, you fail.

How is making membership on a forum conditional on belonging (or having belonged) to a infantry or SF unit (with in person verification and verification of military records) with prior experience in combat verified by military records "stupid"?

Eh?

Too bad that wasn't what he was complaining about. The very fact that you were able to quote some one makes that rebuttal of yours moot. How can they post if they couldn't become a member? Try again.

You just reminded me a counter strike game I had a few years ago... Most of us where dead and no one was chatting in the lobby until a 14 years old try to look cool and engage the conversation.

14 years old: So, who here like anal sex?
15 sec later
Kim (who obviously is not impress): Do you like having it or taking it?

So you guys are just douchebags? Sure makes the military look good.

october 23, 1982. there was an official proclamation by usia declaring that the usian government's opinions would henceforth dictate reality. duh.

However, it never became fact. It was just a declaration. And to tell the truth, most dictionarys still list "terrorist" as "Anyone who uses terror as a weapon in a political struggle, frequently in an attempt to coerce a more powerful opponent, such as a government." rather than "Anyone who stages attacks on the United States of America or on Israel" or "see: muslim".

So you guys are just douchebags? Sure makes the military look good.

We're not douchebags. The instructions are right there when people sign up.

Complete your verification before continuing to post.

If you can't follow a simple block of instruction, it's obvious to us that the person in question is an asshole, and can't be permitted to post.

That's not what you said, which makes it your third strike now the Johnson family gets a chance to steal. Johnson family?

Johnson family: "You do not have to allow any person who applies to join any forum actually join or start posting. If you had any interest in actually making sure people were members of the military when joining, you would verify them before allowing them to post anywhere. But instead, you all sit around in some 'hehe we are military' circle jerk and flame posters for not being military when you didn't even have to let them post in the first place."

And the Johnson family wins.

Forum controls can stop posters from doing anything but reading until and unless they are properly verified (for a number of forums I have been on). The unverified posters arn't the assholes in this game.

However, it never became fact. It was just a declaration.

the declaration declared itself to be fact. it was written right into it. that reagan administration was awfully clever.

Sorry, we let you come on for one post to start your introduction.

Like telling the rest of us (in addition to the admins) your real name, units, etc.

Then the admin checks you out - some of us check you out in person.

Sorry, you lose.

Nope. You still fail. You don't have to let anyone post. If you want to have an inclusive little club, the person wouldn't be allowed to post until verified. He would send his information directly to the admin who would verify it. There is no reason to post anything to the forum.

Threadjack much?

No, you fail.

It isn't just the admin who checks your story. He can't fly to every fucking place on the planet to check someone.

We have to see your official military records (we make the request - can't trust your copy).

We have to meet you in person.

We have to give you the chance to tell the truth in your first post (you aren't told in advance that it had better be the exact truth). And your first post has to be your introduction.

If you lie, we smoke you like a cheap cigar and kick you.

We've had people arrested and charged for lying about their service record.

Wow. Even if I had been in the military, I wouldn't bother even attempting to join your forum if I had to go through all that rubbish. There are plenty of less restrictive military forums than yours out there.

What, are there like 12 members or what?

No, you fail.

So the Admin can't make the request?

We have to meet you in person.
So the members of the forum can fly all over the country?


I'm done with this. It was obvious from your first and subsequent posts in this and other threads what kind of forums you hang out at. And it it clear to anyone who will see that your way of doing things on your forum is absurd and purposeful so everyone can sit around and feel superior and insult anyone who isn't part of the boys club of pro-US, anti-Muslim military nuts.

We've had people arrested and charged for lying about their service record.
Besides the fact I don't think that is remotely illegal, it just makes you as a group look more like dicks.

Threadjack much?

Heh I like all of this, 'You fail' 'Nope you lose' malarky, like it's a game or a sport or sumsuch!

No, you fail.

No really, you extremely fail, a lot.

It's easy enough to set it up so people can't even view certain areas of the forums, post at all, or do anything much, without admin approval.

You could easily do it so that, upon registration, you sent an email to the admins and anyone else who verifies your record with the relevant details, and if you didn't, your account couldn't be activated.

You could also make it quite clear that if you lied, legal action could well occur.

Unless you were some kind of retard at coding and administering forums in general, this is fairly simple. 'Nuff said.

But no, you like your little arrangement where you can flame people and generally have a circlejerk of it with your mates in the forces against people essentially for no good reason.

Well I'm glad to see another RO wankfest thread-jack. :rolleyes:

Hey, take that back! As a disabled man, I resent that! We're way better equipped to deal with life than RO and his goon squad. :D

The IRA is a retirement fund, idiot, and the other ones sound middle eastern to me.

I had to be sent to the hospital, I laughed so hard when I saw that. What a moron.

Heise.de has lots of trolls, but they act dumb intentionally. Best one was the troll who stated among hearing tht Linux now has a O(1) scheduler that Windows's scheduler surely is O(6)

Not only does that sound improbable but I'm pretty sure it is a complete fabrication. x10. Even stretched to the gills, I'm pretty sure the US army wouldn't put an amputee on active duty. Killing people for fun doesn't count.

I dont like homeschooling kids because they are a bunch of bitches and they always generilize about everyone else and they juge us by there indoctranated opinions and they are all dorks

uh......yeah. He totally convinced me to send my kids to public school. :rolleyes:

If you were missing a leg from the hip down you'd be in a wheelchair. Battlefield mobility in a wheelchair is somewhat limited. Insurgents are notoriously bad about putting ramps in.

You could mount weapons on the wheelchair. Or place them in an advanced walker exoskeleton, add a shield and beam weapon and let them walk around shooting zerg...

More serious: plenty of jobs where people can sit in a chair. Gunnery officers on ships for example.

Heh, this one I just saw was a little gem.

If the government stops the war tomorrow,I'd bet my lfie iraq would bring its troops to AMERICA and the war would go on.

This war cant end until there leaders are dead.

Newsflash, we're not actually at war with Iraq...

n the blur of smoke and blood after a bomb blew up under his Humvee in Iraq, Sgt. Tawan Williamson looked down at his shredded leg and knew it couldn't be saved. His military career, though, pulled through. Less than a year after the attack, Williamson is running again with a high-tech prosthetic leg and plans to take up a new assignment, probably by the fall, as an Army job counselor and affirmative action officer in Okinawa, Japan.

In an about-face by the Pentagon, the military is putting many more amputees back on active duty — even back into combat, in some cases.

Williamson, a 30-year-old Chicago native who is missing his left leg below the knee and three toes on the other foot, acknowledged that some will be skeptical of a maimed soldier back in uniform.

"But I let my job show for itself," he said. "At this point, I'm done proving. I just get out there and do it."

So, I guess if you can laugh at him, I'll laugh at your disability Maineiacs.

Let me help you out there DK.

You didn't even read the post - go back and see this part:

In an about-face by the Pentagon, the military is putting many more amputees back on active duty — even back into combat, in some cases.

I know several who are back in combat without a leg.

They don't have any example of anyone going into combat, just anecdotes. And I trust their anecdotes far more than yours.

No serious amputees are going into combat.

Let me help you out there DK.

Let me help you read the rest of the linked article:

To go back into the war zone, they have to prove they can do the job without putting themselves or others at risk.

One amputee who returned to combat in Iraq, Maj. David Rozelle, is now helping design the amputee program at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington. He has counted seven other amputees who have lost at least part of a hand or foot and have gone back to combat in Iraq.

The 34-year-old from Austin, Texas, said he felt duty-bound to return after losing his right foot to a land mine in Iraq.

"It sounds ridiculous, but you feel guilty that you're back home safe," he said. "Our country is engaged in a war. I felt it was my responsibility as a leader in the Army to continue."

Rozelle commanded a cavalry troop and conducted reconnaissance operations when he returned to Iraq, just as he had before the mine blast. Other amputees who have returned to combat, ranging from infantry grunts to special forces soldiers, have conducted door-to-door searches, convoy operations and other missions in the field.

"Guys won't go back if it means riding a desk," Rozelle said.

Despite your best try you somehow managed to not quote the part that would show me wrong.

And, I trust their anecdotes more than yours, and all I see are anecdotes.

Oh yes I did.

They put others back into combat.

You're insinuating that they don't.

They put them back into combat if they can do the job and request it.

So your point that somehow, soldiers don't go back into combat, or Maineiac's impression that somehow, soldiers are weak individuals who can't handle being disabled is a bunch of bullshit.

Because it doesn't attack the US or Israel.

Or maybe because they signed a cease fire in 1997 and haven't attacked anybody since?

Oh yes I did.

They put others back into combat.
Anecdote. Had you highlighted the sentence before that, you would have had a hard case - Rozelle. Instead you highlighted the anecdotal 'evidence.' Just like other creatures who stick their head in the sand, your proof doesn't fly.

Ah, so you read the sentence before.

Which proves it. Too bad you're too biased and too ignorant to accept it.

Laugh.

So, I guess if you can laugh at him, I'll laugh at your disability Maineiacs.

Very interesting, but your original claim was:

Oooooh! Some of us ARE disabled.

Some of us don't have one of their legs, for example, from the hip down.

Somehow, still on active duty, out there killing people...

The only example they give of an amputee "out there killing people" a man who lost his foot.

Ah, so you read the sentence before.

Which proves it. Too bad you're too biased and too ignorant to accept it.
And it said they don't put serious amputees back in combat. Williamson wouldn't have been back in the field even had he wanted to.

DK once again proves that no one can disprove his arguments... except himself.

Alright DK, I took you off ignore just long enough to clear something up. I wasn't laughing at some soldier's disability (I seriously doubt your story is remotely true, but that's another issue) I was laughing at your stupidity. Why are you totally incapable of debate without strawmen? It really doesn't reflect well on you. BTW, I really wouldn't suggest you laugh at too many disabled people. Some aren't as forgiving as I am.

Sorry, if you're going to laugh at a soldier's disability, I then am free to laugh at yours forever.

If you're not, then I have no cause to laugh at yours.

What part of "I wasn't laughing at some soldier's disability" did you not get? Why would you even think I would laugh at another disabled person? I only laugh at idiots.

It's easy to get that impression from your use of "gimp".

But I'll take you at your word that you're not laughing at them.

He's disabled himself. So it's ok for him to refer to other disabled people as gimps. We make that allowance for pretty much every other group, why not do so for people with disabilities?

I love strategie games. So, I have found a cool strategie game with one cool feature... it has physics, and its like supreme commander..... JUST FREEWARE!!!

Tell me about it, if you have survived GameFAQ's LUE and War on Terror, and still haven't lost your mental faculties, or atleast, spelling,... then you'd gain some skills on how to maintain a decent post.

Quite. Oh the sheer amount of retards of gamefaqs.com - it saddens me.

Incidentally, TA Spring isn't really freeware, and is Properly Illegal.

I was at LUE when they invented luecide.

I got a friend who posts there. (not a retard) He is always complaining about the number of n00bs around.

Well, tell him to stick around some game boards, namely Grand Theft Auto IV,... and let's see if he's got the stomach to handle the ... errr... hilarity.

Besides, my use of "gimp squad" was to mock RO. See what I mean? Strawman. I can't figure out if he really thought I was slurring my own minority group, or whether he just pretended to so that he could pretend to have a point.

Not to mention the propeganda.

CjayC and his TOS can bite me. He sold his soul to Gamespot and the corporate pigdogs a while ago now. Glad I left before that happened.
I do lovingly remember the raids though. Good times. Good times.

He probably hasn't. Sometimes, he's funny, but he has no sense of humor for that kind of stuff.

What, are there like 12 members or what?LOL..
