You guys dont know anything about me , so you wouldnt exactly know what kind of Soldier I would be would you? No , so dont make stupid remarks like that

You're right, I don't know what sort of MARINE you'd be (soldier is Army). But you're also wrong- on the internet, all we know is what we see. You have control over what we know and don't know, and believe it or not people judge you on everything you provide. It helps them get to know the You that you want to provide.

And so far, my "stupid remark" is completely on-target, based on what I know and what I see. Have a nice day.

And yes you are correct about how you judge someone on what they say over the internet

There's a verb in there somewhere dying to come out. I can't answer your question until I know what it is.

My point exactly. I was arguing with some kid today about a cell phone that can shoot .22 cal bullets and I said it probably wouldn't do much damage. Of course, he said 'yeah but if you shoot someone in the HEAD'. I just laughed and walked away.

Oops my bad ... I meant to say "so wtf would you :call: a Marine other than a Marine?"

You might, if you were a Marine or someone respectable, call him a Devil-Dog. But in terms of each branch's "specialty", they are:

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. And Coast Guard swabbies.

MAYBE if the .22 was like five inches long and had a special nuclear warhead that would impact. And since it's coming out of a cellphone, then there are two things wrong with this kid's "argument"

One- it won't be accurate enough to hit anyone in the head, unless you fire it point-blank, and then results may vary. Perhaps if you shot an assailant straight in the eye, I might be willing to give it a chance.

Two- the round coming out of the cellphone, if such a thing does exist outside of James Bond, is small enough to do about as much damage as might piss off a sewer rat or a badger.

I've heard stories of .22 rounds that hit someone in the head. They broke the skin, went under it, impacted the skull, and rimmed around the back of the head (leaving a sick-looking welt) and came out the other side. Cause for stitches, a severe headache, and a beating from the person's next of kin for nearly winning the Darwin award.

Well , then why did you say that Soldiers were only from the Army?

Octavian · 2004-01-26, 09:36 PM

Oh come on people, we're only dicking around. Maybe not xmodum, but I certainly am.

I'm not sure what part of SOLDIERS Sailors Airmen and MARINES you didn't quite grasp. When you understand that SOLDIERS applies to the Army and MARINES apply to the Marines, then we can discuss this further. I had thought I had said this, and I thought it was fairly clear, but apparently it wasn't.

But now I do see that you said Marines along with Soldiers , excuse me for making a mistake in my life

Octavian · 2004-01-26, 09:47 PM

You should excuse yourself. But now I think we should go back to the original topic. Don't want Hamma locking it do we?
