1. It's true that nothing hongi's suggested is of any value.
2. No, the statement is not any less valid because I said it.
3. You know what? Fuck you, and fuck this decrepit old BBS. It hasn't aged well at all, and I've finally had enough of it.

None, which is precisely the number of reasons why I should not still hold it against them.

Yes.

So like CoD Modern Warfare but with a cover system? :v

(That does sound interesting though, I'll look into it.)

Personally I don't much care whether you're correct or not, because nothing you've said about your philosophy has been useful at all.

Doesn't mean they won't try to.

Doesn't mean people won't buy it when they do, either.

Probably because they either figured out (like I did) that outlawing everything we aren't supposed to do is pointless, or because they're just a convenient vehicle for a certain set of special interests.

Well gee I guess I should be ashamed for typing anything in the first place, you are a giant of military science. Yes you should, because admitting you were ignorant of the subject and said something demonstrated that ignorance would require you to admit your wrong. And we both know how hard it is ...

Why yes, its totally obvious that its a bad idea to put a thin layer of coloured breathable cloth over it.

You miserable pedant.

Why don't they just have some neutral-colour NBC suits and then different covers for them?

Ah, my bad. I see that fallacy misused a lot in this context and misread a few things as a result.

Spoonist, you do realize that its only a scotsman fallacy if he changes his statement from "no scotsman" to "no true scotsman", right?

So...they chose a retarded color scheme because they wanted something cool like what the Marines had, but separate for unique brand identity? What's worse, the Marine Corps owns the patent to MARPAT, refused to let other services use this camouflage pattern, or others like it Meh. Charge the brass ...

I have played 100% of the games that I bought at least once. Other than a few demos, there's no backlog.

It's different when they do it. :v

Only 2 million, eh? Operating costs.

Nonsense. Toronto did it first.

I don't know what you'd call a reboot from a saved backup, then.

A hackneyed mockery of one's deceased self, perhaps?

Not that I'd dream of holding it against you for doing it for whatever reasons you like, but I'm rather content not to have copies of myself running about.

You could've just said they felt stupid, shallow, and forced.

That or Connor is massless.

Well, now I remember why I tend to think of you as a hyperaggressive cunt without a shred of imagination. Why? Because I dont imagine things that are not there, or imagine words coming out of people's mouths? Gee, thank you! Nah, because the most creative insult you seem to be capable of thinking o...

I don't see how you could vote against not only your own interests but those of your fellow citizens without being stupid or disastrously misinformed. Well, now I remember why you have a VI title...

Besides, if I started bleating about things being sacred and therefore inviolate you'd call me stupid, too.

Nitpickity naysaying it is, then, I guess. Mr. Sowell (and you, I guess) do not seem to understand that no management at all is in fact a management technique, if generally a hideously ineffective one. You could trivially say all of that about a command economy anyway. The constituent parts of the e...
