It was a recycled joke. I was calling attention to Stompy's philosophy of letting everyone else do the heavy lifting, as opposed to what I consider a very admirable stance by Archer 2371.

If I interpret Stompy correctly, he adheres to these tenets:

1. Let everybody else fight if necessary; I'll hide and reap the benefits gained by the sacrifice, including death, of others.

2. Let everybody else work, but anybody who makes more than I do should have to give some of it to me, or to people I choose.

I'll sit back and wait for the posts telling me how wrong I am. It won't be hard to refute them.

Like I said, in one ear and out the other.

Since you (like many others I've had to do this with) are incapable of reading, I'll quote what I said earlier in the thread, and afterwards will simply ignore your posts since (chances are) they won't hold any water anyway and will be filled with more twisting of words, ignoring of previous posts, etc, which results in me wasting my time and you being uninformed.

Now pay attention, since you failed to do so early on:

"If it was something like another Hitler that amassed this massive army and we didn't have enough manpower to fight it, then that's another story. I just don't fight trivial wars, that's all."

What benefits were gained from Vietnam? We went into that war because politicians have big egos that needed smashed. What benefits and freedoms will we personally gain from the war in Iraq? Us liberating another country is not defending against a threat in any manner. France, Spain, or Germany could've easily went in themselves if it was a problem (and they're closer to Iraq than we are!)

These wars are drastically different from something like the american revolution or Japan bombing Pearl Harbor.

And no, your analogy doesn't work for the very simple fact you have no idea who I am. You can't even correctly interpret the points I try to make, so how can you even remotely get anything else correct about me? If someone threatened my family and I happened to have a gun, the guy would be dead, plain and simple. Don't bother refuting that because which one of us is me here? You? I don't think so.

Where the fuck did this come from? I never said that or anything close to that.

It seems to me you'll have a nice time trying to twist words in such a way they weren't intended, so.. I'll just choose to ignore your posts from now on :thumbsup:

Like I said, though... in one ear out the other. Throw "insults" around all you want ("coward"), but it means nothing to me since my head isn't swelling with with gross amounts of pride and patriotism. You're the one upset about it, not me, and guess what's gonna be done about that? Ah, not much :)

Bad Ending
