Well, let's have a look. My IQ is 135. My weight is 10 stones (140lb) and I'm 5'11'' tall. Nope. Very intelligent and of just over average weight for my height.
IQ doesn't mean anything. I'm talking about a subject that I KNOW and you're trying to take a position on something that you have no clue about. You're a fickle soul. Listening to what you're told and spitting the info right back out with a few words of your own. You may think that the soldiers always do what they're told but we're not told what to believe in and how we conduct ourselves after the day is over. No one is truly stupid until they claim they know something they don't. As you have.
Jealous? No. But civilised. How do we define that effectively? Let's see... You're taking a degree in philosophy, which surely takes you to the more civilised side. But why did you want to sign up for a job that involves killing people. I know that's not by any means all that soldiors do. But soldiors do kill, that's why we give them guns. This isn't really an attack, purely a question. Why did you want to go into war?
That shows how much you know about the military. Only a small percentage of the military actually kills enemy soldiers. If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd realize that there aren't many soldiers who actually do any killing. We're all given weapons and instructed how to use them, but I assure you, only a small number of our military forces actually do the killing. Everyone looks at it that once you join the military you MUST kill someone, even if you're assigned to combat. That's not true. There are many people who enlist and go through their careers without killing a single person. The Army is by no means uncivilized. If you think we are you should look up the definition and then look into how the military operates. It's VERY civilized if not more civilized than a good portion of Earth's population.
How did they prove their worth? And well, what have you done to contribute to society? Me, i'm only 14. I am not allowed to do half the things I would like to do. All I'm currently doing at the moment is studying and playing music. Well, let's reverse the question. What do you do for your Society?
What do I do for society? What every soldier does. I contribute to the defense of the nation. Don't blame me for invading Iraq. The military didn't decide to do it, the suits did. We were told to invade Iraq and we did. The military doesn't act on it's own. Every one of my battle buddies has proved their worth by earning their title just as I have. It's very nice to have a title that you earned and it fills you with pride. I contribute to my society by offering my life in it's defense. Don't use Iraq as your only example to argue with me. Iraq isn't the only place we're at. You wouldn't know what it's like watching someone die on the battlefield and then coming home to children thinking they know what's really going on who put us down. Don't take a position on something you barely know. That just proves you to be an idiot. There's a lot of things I don't know but I don't knock it and act like I know what's going on. Just because I listen to what people say and listen to the news doesn't mean I know what's going on either. I don't know how our government works and I don't know how yours works so I don't pretend like I do. I know a lot of stuff about our US Army and it clearly shows to me that you don't. So leave the topic alone because you're clueless.
We do more our country? I'll assume you made a typo and meant to say we do more FOR our country, anyway, what were you doing? Protecting the public from Saddams dangerous WMDs that haven't been yet found, or were you protecting them from the stores of Chemical Weapons that you sold to him?
It's called a typo, live with it. Take your own advice that you gave me. Need I mention how the Iraqi people reacted after Saddam was captured? How they overwhelmed the military when we were taking that statue of Saddam down to do it themselves? Do you need to see an immediate threat because you can't see a rising threat? I don't know what the deal was with WMD, that's the suit's problem. I know that those people were happy to have Saddam gone. That's justification enough.
Strange this. You seem to see me as overweight just because I dont like the military. I dont know why, you've never met me, and you'll have to take my word that I am of normal weight, and why the fuck should I give back to my country (which is the UK) If I dont agree with anything the Government do?
Don't give back to your country, you don't know how the military works so I don't imagine you'll get far.
How have my military successfully done that?
Should I point out that typo or take your advice again? I don't understand if you mean the UK's army or the American Army.
Don't flame. It really makes you look dumb.
I was upset that a person like you thinks he knows what's going on in Iraq. Now I realize that you weren't there, you never will be, and you have no clue what is really going on. By taking a position that you pretend to know the situation, you've proved yourself to be dumb. Now I'll bet the only thing you can say to prove you're not dumb is to state your IQ again. That doesn't matter. IQ doesn't prevent anyone from pretending to know anything. When you take a position on a topic you're in the dark about, it only shows that you have only the results of a standardized test to desperately prove your intelligence while you don't prove any intelligence at all in your conclusions.

That's what I learned in my Critical Thinking class, and that's supposed to be a beginner's level philosophy class.
Differing opinions are allowed. However when someone assumes they know information they do not, then it's time to argue upon the subject and question how they arrived at that conclusion. Little children shouldn't assume they know about the military when they really don't. It's not easy being out there and I don't appreciate hearing people put it down. I did jump to a conclusion when I said that they were jealous, but that's only because I was upset at the fact that someone is putting something down that they have no clue about. That was out of line, but then again a person who claims to know something they don't is even further out of line.
Didn't you read the FAQ? RTFM though I suppose it would be RTFFAQ

I don't think violence is an issue in my games.
All you need is a coat, chook, choppers, and swampers. You'll be hooked up. I live in Upper Michigan with Lake Superior on 3 sides of me so we get lake effect snow like a motherfucker. Once it gets to 60 below we start to get cool. At 100 below you're allowed to turn the heat back on and at 150 below we usually play in the snow shorter than usual and at 200 below we complain about chills

Do you get a buzz off of the fumes while you do that?
Was your girlfriend willing to go? Hold on to that chick if she's willing to go to a peep show with you. She either doesn't care about you or is secure with you. Don't parade other naked chicks in front of either of you. Let her do it for you and you can do it for her. Christ, if my girlfriend went to a peep show with me I'd be pretty pumped because I know she wouldn't be upset with me.
I'm taking a vote on the best PS2 game out there. I have a little bit of money and I'd like to figure out what game I should get. I'm looking more at the newer games than the older ones. Like Manhunt, Spawn:Armageddon, and Tony Hawk: Underground to mention a few
My friend gave me a few funny quotes and I loved them. I looked up some more on the internet. I'd just like to know what everyone else's favorite funny quotes are.
Here's one
"As I walk through the valley of death, I fear no one, for I am the meanest motherfucker in the valley" -Gen. Patton
The problem is pretty bad in Africa. They need some sex ed over there. My Economics professor told me that she saw waht it was like over there that they'd distribute condoms but all the Africans did was use it then his buddy would borrow it, then his buddy, then his buddy. That's why AIDS is such a big deal over there as well. They passed the used condoms around. Like "ye towne condom" hanging in town square or something.
The quote that my coaches always said was, "we're only as good as our worst player" that proves so with the world. We're only as good as our worst country so if we stop whining about it and do something and improve life for them we'll adversely improve our own............
There will be an exam next week. Have a good weekend, thank you
No, I'm currently switching units and they have my paperwork in a huge mess so they kept me stateside, though it looks like I'll end up going for whatever the suits have planned for Iraq next.
As I've noticed in the past, and as Cockjockey pointed out with the dollar bill............ Religion has had, perhaps, too large a part in politics. I don't think faith should affect a governmental decision. Think about it do you want your government to decide something based on faith or fact? When I say faith or fact I don't mean faith as a religion. For the daft people it's a pun, I believe......
Looking back it's pretty funny to realize that we were the only two that were arguing. Going from eachother's throats to finding a common ground and being civil. I'm sure this topic will be an interesting read to watch the both of us go at it and then as maturity kicks in we start BSing. Very interesting
I'm with the Army. I'm a Combat Engineer. Basically infantry with explosives. We're the ones who deal with the mines, some bridges, emplacing and removing obstacles, and basic infantry stuff
My God! We have a man of considerable intelligence in attendance. Glad to have you aboard. I hope to get some more funny quotes to. I'm still chuckling after that first one because it's so true
My point exactly. Illustrated through another user. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to agree with me or not

1) Start playing hacky sack! Great way to get friends, fuck its an awesome game.
2) Don't kill yourself. It's not worth it. I've thought about it. Wheres the fun? I would rather do something, make babies, leave a mark on the world.
3) There is always people wierder then you! You just gotta find them, they will be your friends, cuz they are in the same boat as you. AND YOU WILL HAVE MADE THEM WITH HACKY SACK MAUAHAHA.
4) Dump your parents, they sound like pieces of shit. If they don't care about you, go to a foster home or something. That is no living condition, and no one should be subject to that.
5) Try putting your feelings on paper, explain to yourself why you want to commit suicide. I could go throughout life without friends, I could give a fuck. 3/4's of the people out there are retarded asshats who only care about themselves.
6) Tough it out. Three more years, and you can go to some crappy community college and get wasted and fuck some chicks. It's all fun.
7) If you havn't killed yourself yet, try any hobby doesnt have to be hacky sack. Oh, and call the suicide hotline and fuck with them a bit, they can't hang up on you. THEY CANT! MUAHAHA, its hillarious. Good times. Laughter is the best medicine.
8) Okay... what havent i covered... stop drinking, and doing drugs. Accept for maybe occasional cannibus. That never hurt no one.
9) Start working out, go to the gym. When you are in good condition you tend to feel better about yourself, and the ones around you.
10) if all else fails, join the army at least you get to kill stuff before you go. ;)
I love your advice. You should look into being a counselor. You'd win the title for coolest counselor in the universe, ever. With that last bit of advice you could be a good recruiter too. I like the suicide line idea in a sick, funny way. Your humor intrigues me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
It would be really cool if you think about it. If you've got nothing to lose then just go for it. Screw with people, have fun, laugh it up. You don't have anything to lose so you have an advantage over other people. You can only go up. Imagine all that stuff that people wish they could do but don't do because they have too much to risk.

I can understand. Don't want to pick a fight where there isn't one due, Post on, but watch the military, we don't make the decisions, just enforce them
But this quote nearly tickled me to tears..............

With a slight change in tone you managed to get the people who don't fully read the topic to argue a point that you never really made. Bravo
I will actually look up the reading. I have much respect for someone who can admit that someone has an advantage over them and it certainly seems like you know your way about the topic. You have to understand that as a soldier I can get defensive about the military. Though I'm not a big fan of the government I love my military. So I'd like to call a truce on the matter. I slightly underestimated your knowledge on the topic. I am not very interested in the whole government debate. It's too crooked and iffy.
By legalizing it... all the people that do drugs would die off... and you'd get rid of potheads and druggies and a lot of stupid problems like over crowded prisons.... sorta like survival of the fittest... i.e. stupid druggies will die off, because they are not intelligent and therefore, be taken out of the genepool. That would be a good thing.
Exactly. Well said. Let them do it to themselves. Our prisons are crowded enough as it is. Then the prison system wouldn't need to be constantly expanding and requiring money.
What I'm asking is how I can debate a position I know very little about? People get into trouble when they pretend to know things and debate them. I acknowledge that they need to be debated, I just don't think that newgrounds is a qualified area to debate the government. I really can't imagine many people qualified to debate the issue visit this site
Quite a general question to recieve specific answers. It's a different answer in just about every situation. Though I do see them as intertwined to many varying degrees. Religion, no doubt, will always play a part in government. To which extent? I don't know, though I know it will have some sort of impact.

Kuwait is run by a king and queen, that's dictator in robes to you and me. And it's all because they gave Chevron an oil concession, and in return Bush promised not to mess with or even mention their countrys plight again. And thanks to CNN, you don't have to hear about it. I'd chat more but I fear you might copy and paste that angst ridden, intellectual high horse speech again and it bored me to tears.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you had the inside scoop, jackass. I acknowledge that you SAY it bored you to tears though you must realize that it's very true and I think you do find yourself wondering who's really tugging your strings and if you are truly thinking for yourself. You're controlled but don't know it. Mass media claims another bitch. The psychology of the news works well upon you. They know exactly what to say to get the desired effect. I don't think it was angst-ridden. Though I suppose you're grasping for a good comback to try to harm my feelings or discredit my argument, failing by the way. Your despairity shows in your eager move to be the protestor for Kuwait and a government expert. If reading a few newspapers made me an expert then I'd have a subsription to many.
As for Kuwait I don't care what sort of government goes on there. I don't deal with the government. I don't know it well enough to argue. It's not the military's job to set up a government. We did our part, the government should have done theirs. Why must you insist you know something that you don't? I could check this news myself. Sure, I could read what the mass media has to say and get 100 different stories. I don't know the government well enough to even try to argue. Though I have to point out idiots, as yourself, who think they know the system and how the universe works. No one is stupid until they claim to know something they don't.
