Ooh, haven't been in this forum for a while, but I felt that I had to show my agreement with Puke here.

*Clap clap. *

And I'm not from the U.S. I'm from Malaysia.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">This cycle also reminds me of the Union Job I had, people had no reason to strive to be better and if you did and you were low on the totem pole you heard about it from shop stewards or people that have been there for ever. Not that I am anything special, but its not suprising that I only worked there for about a year and half.

Re: OT: Galactic sterilisation
 

Here is a thought for you; your opinion is based on the views of only those that got out? Did I get that part right? So military (regardless of branch or country or enlisted or officer) are morons.

Now my wife is one of these morons and she holds a BA.
Her boss holds a MA.
The officer over all of them holds a PhD.

So using your opinion we all can safely say that:

Carrer military = Moron
Carrer military = BA, MA, and PhD
So:
BA, MA, and PhD (regardless of field) = Moron

Thus anyone who holds a BA, MA, or PhD is also a moron.

You have obviously thought this out very well and from every angle based on good information.

Nice job Puke!

Actually... a lot of people with such degrees are morons anyways...

Re: OT: Galactic sterilisation
 

And Puke never claimed that every single person in the military was a moron, just that a lot of them are.

Re: OT: Galactic sterilisation
 

Yes “Loser” that is the obvious, I don’t think that anyone here could have missed the flaw in the logic but thanks anyway. Did you happen to notice the flaw in his reasoning? Or was that only obvious to me as I thought it was just as clear as mine was.

Fyron I am not sure what you read, so allow me to cut and paste his words.

Puke said: “3 - not-so-smart enlistees re-enlist, and go on to become officers”

That sounds to me to be the same as:

If you are a carrier soldier (you reenlist) than you are a moron? So what part of that did you miss?
Or maybe this will help:

“4 - future smart generations of enlistees see that only morons have made it through to the top ranks, and leave after their first tour, again leaving only the morons to reinslist”

So lets see, still we have the statement that only morons make a carrier, did you catch it that time?

Don’t patronize me.

Re: OT: Galactic sterilisation
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well if you look at what he said to begin this, rather than just the fleshed out logic, it would support the statement that not all military officers are morons. As long as you don't take the second post alone and out of context, Puke was not saying that 100% of military officers are morons. Now, he could have worded the second post more consistently, but he didn't.

I was not intentionally patronizing you (Shang). I fail to see how you got a patronizing tone out of my post.
