OT: Galactic sterilisation

[Fyron]

Fyron you have no clue what we're talking about but that was to be expected.

That is an extremely ignorant and naive statement. Too bad that long post I had written disappeared. Oh well. Return to your fantasy world.

This is exactly what I was talking about JurijD. You are stereotyping people here and reading what you want to read, not necessarily what was posted.

unfortuneatly, the military tends to be a vicious cycle of stupididy, much like the vicious circle of poverty, but slightly different. higher ranks are often full of dipsticks, so the smart people dont re-enlist. so only morons advance, thus perpetuating the cycle.

Could you explain this one again?

[Puke]

alright, i was partially joking, and partially basing the statement on what all my friends from the armed forces tell me, so dont take it personally. So forgive me for repeating, I will take your request as an honest search for explaination due to my poor verbalization, rather than incredulity.

1 - military enlistees enter the armed forces for a tour of duty.

2 - short 5-year tour of duty ends, smart enlistees decide that its a bunch of bull**** and decide to go make something else of their life

3 - not-so-smart enlistees re-enlist, and go on to become officers

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

5 - cycle repeats ad-nauseam (much like the vicious circle of poverty, where poverty leads to fewer opportunities which leads to more poverty - a well known academic sociological concept)

6 - radiation from a black hole wipes out all the human population, save those senior military people (distilled from generations of moron re-enlistees) whom are in deep bunkers, such as NORAD

7 - with limited gene stock and advanced technology, we repopulate the world with inbred incompetants

8 - elsewhere in the universe, giant mutant radioactive cockroaches are immune to sterilization from blackhole radiation, and somehow achieve spaceflight.

9 - your race options for SE4 suddenly look alot less apealing.

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

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.

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!
