Stop using numbers to vindicate the validity of your opinions.

Just think about this for a second. What I'm telling you is that IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY what you are doing is a crime. Furthermore, what you are doing is a crime in ANY country that I know of. So, now by your logic, the world is out to get you, because the world is out to force you into there ideology. It is the law after all.

It's that, or we can take a trip down sanity lane and realize that the way you live your live contradicts civilized society as well as any "un-civilized" society that I know of. Why can't you admit that if everyone lived as you do (or similarly) the world would fall into complete disorder?

Also, the basis of my life is NOT conflict. If conflict is truly the basis of your life, then again, I'd recommend seeking help as that is no way to live; we've left the cave after all.

My life is based on forwarding my understanding of the world, including but not limited to, mathematics, physics, sociology, psychology, international relations, etc. Basically intellectual pursuits.

Please note that although this may involve heated exchanges, it in no way involves flying fists. That is for uneducated Neanderthals that haven't learned any coping techniques beyond that in which they learned by grade 3.

And CMH, if my numbers weren't the rest of the world (civilized and a lot of un-civilized societies as well) you'd have a point. But, since my opinions are those outside of your little scrap of no-where, I do have a point, and you do need to have a long think about your lifestyle.

CMH, you have a choice now. Continue living the way you do, being the sad little king of your sad little hill or you can grow as a person and be better for it.

Lastly, I find that I've spent too much time trying to get you to see reason. Time which would be better spent on other actually productive things. So, these are the last keystrokes that I will waste on this topic.

Good-day sir.

Ok but didn't you eben like my little leather shorts dancer guy? 'Cause you didn't say. Also, I'm sure you've answered this and I'm dingy, but is the pic in your signature you? It looks like you, but I'm not sure why you're wearing your jammies to fight in. Doesn't really seem like you to be wearing jammies during combat and all.Come to think of it, you don't really seem like a guy who has jammies at all...Ok not that I am speculating about your sleep wear...well I guess I am, but not in a weird way just in a random thought kind of way:)

I'll just agree with the first response.

Seek therapy, dude.

Honestly.

yes, you'd be amazed by how many folk in pre-Roman Britain dressed like Rupert the Bear.

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway?I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

That's where you're wrong. Learning to be self reliant severs the bonds of dependence that corporations and government have created for us. It is vital to our independence that we keep these skills alive with every generation, because the more we accept money as a means of procuring every little thing that we need, the power we give away. It might not be 2000 years ago, but the skills that we learned then to make it to now are no less valuable.

As for this seriousness about therapy thing, I just stopped seeing a psychiatrist last month. If you'd like, I can even scan the letter of recommendation he wrote for me telling the military that my post traumatic stress is not debilitating and that I am mentally fit for active military duty. Translation: I am cleared to carry and operate a fully automatic weapon. I'd say that makes me pretty mentally stable.

Here's another thing, all these situations where I beat someone up or let my temper get the better of me, I was carrying a firearm, and I was carrying it illegally. Therapy is for people who can't control themselves, who continue to do something in spite of negative results. I always had the frame of mind to not draw my weapon.

As for Fight Club, good movie, but I'm not really interested in talking about movies or the ideology behind them right now. Fighting making a person stronger is just natural law that everyone is subject to. In the wild, the ones that aren't strong enough become the non-alphas at best, and at worst, they die. Here in our society, we're too "polite" to let that happen, so they become... well, like a certain friend of mine. Fat, lazy, goes to a psychiatrist to deal with the great emotional impact of fucking High School, even though he graduated back in 1999. He got eaten alive there and they tried to do the same thing to me. Difference is, I didn't let them.

Finally, say what you want about this or that not having honor. You might shake your head at me and think, "what a waste", but when I go to a special place called MEPS, and I got an E7 telling me how proud he is of me, and an E8 telling me not to give up and going out of his way to push me to the head of the line, then I know I've done well in life. My parents are proud of me, and once I re-enlist, I'll actually have the time and funding to go to college.

I'm doing just fine, and I'm not compromising my principals, honor or valor to get there.

B]

Chris - Kudos for all you have done for the military and yourself. However (a) let me know your NCO's response the first time you kick the shit out of someone when back on active duty and (b) behavior that is appropriate and lauded in the military is not necessarily behavior that is lauded in society.

Personnaly, I have decided that while you do need therapy, you are just trying to push peoples buttons by posting what you post. :biggin:
