The attitudes and policies that ensure several hours each quarter are spent not on actual training, but on Consideration of Others (COO), Equal Opportunity (EO), and Sexual Harrassment training. I guarantee NO other job has as much anti-harrassment, anti-judgment, anti-prejudice training as the US Military does. Bush's policy was to tiptoe around the religion that justifies such acts (if we really want to go into it I can drag up my links again), treats threats with kid gloves (Marine that deserted and fled to, Lybia was it? muslim soldiers rolling grenades into their superiors' tents, or mess halls, etc. etc.)

So NO, it's NOT just Obama that will look bad, it's the entire military and it's focus on never hurting anyone's feelings.

Come on now, well deserved. And, spamming breaks the ToS last I checked - not content. As far as cheap shots go, I didn't see any. And lets be realistic, you're no stranger to them even if there were any - nor is FTA. But, back to my point, I do not find "You're not a spambot - or are you?" a cheapshot in any way. Just saying. Unless I am missing something here.



Again, talking about these, the endless articles you will see if you click on his name and select "Find all posts". The moderators are now saying this is becoming an issue. So these latest two were editted. What's with the confusion here?
This is going to be the last word on debating Felix's posting style. Let's move on. The topic seems to taking its natural course which is good.

Anyways! it's sad to see that there is not a lot of discussion here anymore. I recall when I left it was because the overzealous moderators would stomp you with a title of "anti-american" if you had the temerity to suggest a dislike for Apple Pie. Perhaps the pendulum has swung back too far in the opposite direction.

Just in case anyone is unsure - I changed my name by deed poll from Donut to Lanesra.
Good to see you too mate. What Ashes humiliation? That didn't happen (just like 2006 didn't happen for England).

Glad to see this post made it to fruiton, even with our resident, self-proclaimed sociologist with dillusional posting manners attempting to derail it. Not sure what was referenced, but that must be some fairly hefty mind altering crack he's onto.

Thanks @ Morgeruat for filling in the gaps whilst I was tending to business elsewhere.

Here @ Ft. Knox we have two levels of gate guards. Federals, and contract civilian, both of which are armed. Soldiers are only armed at the range, unless their MOS (job) is military police.

Good to see Donut back on the forums - 2lines in and way before the signature I realised that this was a wood of a different bark.

Ashes - that was only a friendly. Can't go bothering about results in a friendly now. Didn't we let you guys have 6 substitutes or something?

Gaps? You must mean gapes, as in gaping holes filled with blame. Blame for Obama, blame for the entire religion of Islam, and blame for a whole host of others. Even the policies of treating people fairly are blamed. The only thing proven is that it is very easy to blame. Blame with a hint of prejudice, a big old gaping hole of emptiness.

LOL it's almost funny there is no clear blame for the shooter- Muhamed musta made him do it!!!

Pay attention kids, this is called "projecting". You know, when you ship your own, heavily repressed big bag o' crazy unto someone else. Notice how it foams at the mouth, as it does so, my students.
