My friend and I went out golfing about a few weeks ago and were having a good time till my buddy sliced a ball so it landed a little ways away from some guy on another hole. So this passive-aggressive dude walks over and asks my friend, "Are you drunk?" and proceeded to follow that line trying to humiliate him until I came up and told him to stop talking sh*t before he got messed up. The coward just looked at me in horror and walked away as fast as he could. When he got about 150 yards away he shouted back "Are you a frat guy? (another passive-aggressive remark-if you can't tell yet I hate passive-aggressive people) So I yelled at him to come up here and say what he had to say and he just sat there. Moral of the story- Don't be passive-aggressive, unless you are willing to back it up because eventually you will be called out on it.
Which does not change my point in the least. It is not my place to say what he can or cannot do with his life, up to and including drinking. I'm not pretending that it is either. If this were a face to face discussion, I would have a better idea of whether or not he was in fact drinking. As it is, I have to go by what I see, and his honesty. I wasn't asking that question to be demeaning... as I said to someone else who asked, either he's deliberately acting as if he is missing points in order to be an ass, or he's drunk. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and guessing he had been drinking. I was not being passive aggressive when I asked him if he was drunk, although if he was deliberately acting as if he didn't understand what was being said in this thread and others, he was. -Michael
Books and schools are for hippies! GTech and I don't believe in no books... besides "The Good Book" of course. Knowledge from da streets in da hood, wigga biotches yo!!
Wow, a huge response that said nothing and all that was necessary was defining who "they" are. You see, it could be "they," the nutjobs that actually tried to make cases, or it could be "they" that counter argued, or it could be "they" the usual fence sitters (you know about those, right?), or it could be "they," the people who actually put the words together that the nutjobs copied/pasted as their arguments. If it takes you this much effort to answer a simple question, how long does it take you to ask a woman out from the online dating websites? Good grief, you've gotta be lonely
compu, you should really pick your hero's more carefully. You're cheering for a man who when asked what they (his posts) said, and to point them out, decided to spend 3 posts pretending not to know that the "they" in the sentence referred to his posts, using his feigned ignorance instead as a shield from which behind he could toss out his oh so witty comments. Even when pointed out to him, he chose not to answer. It is probably a sign that he lacks the confidence that he will find one of his own posts on the subject that he feels is intelligent enough to defend. -Michael
Hey, c'mon, what he said was funny: you have to admit. From what I've seen, he's responded to everything you said and made perfect sense. Maybe he just refuses to respond because he doesn't want to "dumb down" for all you liberals?
So, are you now pretending to be stupid to follow his example, or did you really miss the fact that he never answered this question? It's both a statement as to what I meant, as well as a question as to why he was acting like he didn't understand what I said. Since you also missed the fact that "..he's responded to everything you said..." doesn't exactly fit with "...he just refuses to respond...", maybe you're not actually pretending. -Michael
I still don't see what I have to do with this. Look, mvandemar, you've PMed me a few times since I disclosed my age about why I am on GTech's side, or in other words, republican. I know you want to convert me to the democrat side since you probably think I'm "vulnerable" at this age, but it ain't gonna happen. You're trying to find loopholes in GTech to make me lose trust in him. There's no need for you to do this, if he ignores you it's probably because he's getting tired of you guys. He doesn't have to answer everything you ask.
I pm'd you to give you a chance to answer without looking stupid in public. Are you choosing not to answer instead? What do you have to do with it? WTF do you THINK you have to do with it? "Oh, I'm not actually involved in this discussion, I'm only 15 you know, my insulting comments can't be questioned." -Michael
I never said that... I know you don't want to look stupid in public, but: swearing at me doesn't help your situation at all. My question still is, why do I have to answer/speak for GTech? Can't you wait for him to come and answer?
What, you want GTech to be your spokesperson or something? That's what I was replying to. That's why I was replying to you, and not some random user on these forums. I'm not waiting for Gtech to answer because he won't. Period. Oh, he might post, but he won't post anything resembling an answer, I assure you. I've already given up on his responses. He didn't start this thread back up, you did kid. -Michael
Haha, "Kid"? To GTech, you and I BOTH are "kids". I only brought this thread back up because what GTech wrote was really funny, not to continue a debate about why HE won't answer YOU. You brought it up with me, not me. No, I don't want to be HIS.
I don't know if it's your math or your logic skills that are lacking, but he's young enough to be considering himself an "AF Dad". He's not that old. What did you think, he was Yoda...? Or just senile? Are you following him because he's you elder? You think that most people on here are what, 18-22? You laughed at some stupid half-assed attempt from him to insult me. Of course I'm going to respond, to think otherwise, or to think you have something valid to hide behind, is ignorant nonsense. You don't want to be involved? Don't reply. Simple. -Michael
Are you still bitter that you couldn't answer a simple question? I take it from the way you conducted yourself, unless you are asking the questions, you pick your ball up and walk home sulking
His son just joined the USAF, so his son is probably about 19 or 20. One could conclude he's not 22. So I ask: Where are YOUR math/logic skills? I just thought what he said was funny... you don't need to be insulted by me thinking what he said was funny...
My question was not why you thought he was older than you. My question was why you thought he was older than me, enough so to consider me a kid. -Michael
