    Several threads are currently under review and will be throughout today and tomorrow.

    Everyone, PLAY NICE!!!

    What makes this site great, is the debate, not the name calling.

    And everyone, STAY ON TOPIC!

    I’m considering locking all threads that go off topic and do not return to on-topic discussion, but that seems a bit drastic and rash, since so many topics do go off topic.

    But this is just a little warning to everyone, if you can’t discuss things in an adult way, then you are going to see some massive lockings.
    And nobady wants that.


  • @F_alk:

    That might change the  moment the catholic church declares the celibate as obsolete :) …. and the Vatican is changing the language. There are latin words for car, TV etc etc.

    How do you say, “Where’s the remote?”, in Latin?

    Is there a question mark in the Latin text?

    As for the Hoo-_____! debate… I guess it depends on where you trained.

    Kinda like the word “wash.”
    In this region SE Indiana, SW Ohio, N Kentucky it is pronounced “wash.”
    In the portions of the rural South (USA)  it is pronounced “WAR-sh.”
    In Boston and much of Massachusetts(USA)  it is pronounced “WAR-sh.”  Just ask US Senator Ted Kennedy.

    Hmm.  Maybe I’m behind the language evolutionary curve.

    Again, as for the Hoo-___ ! debate, I say…

    Hoo-Dey! Hoo-Dey!
    Hoo-Dey think gonna beat them Bengals?
    :-D

    The Corps?  Nope, that is one branch I never made it into.  Air Force, Army and Army National Guard here… and I NEVER made it out of training units!  I was either IN training or DOING the training.  Talk about a dreadful way to do your military time!

    I had some good times back then.  But alas, my aging rounding body is NOT what it was when I was in my teens and early 20’s (hell my body did nto hold up even then, at least my knees, which is why I got out!)  And I am sure this smoking, drinking, 36 year old could not pass a PT test even with the aid of a moped for the run!  LOL

    I WOULD get to sleep in later than I do now though, so there is always that trade off :-P

    Yeah, I miss it. Until I became an alchoholic.

    2 threads were locked tonight for being off topic.

    I have no problem locking more if you guys can’t debate like adults or drift SO far off topic that the initial thread topic is unidentifiable.

    As Mods we simply don’t have time to babysit every thread/post and user.

    I’ve all but removed myself from much of Gen Discussion (political, religious, foreign policy, etc topics) for the past few weeks because all the threads seem to end up the same way.

    Attack the points in a post and debate the topic but DON’T attack the user.

    Thank you,
    Darth


  • @DarthMaximus:

    Sorry to have had to be the one to call those 2 threads to your attention Darth.  But I simply felt that they had both gotten very out of hand.  So if anyone here wants to persecute someone, I am the guilty party for doing a “report to moderator” on those two threads.

    Thank you for handling the moderation of the various threads quickly and professionally.  Speaking for myself (and I am sure for many others) it is greatly appreciated.


  • We’re not going to let up here on these topics guys. When they violate forum rules, action will be taken. Stay on topic. Don’t attack other people. Be civilized.

    That like “hoo-ah” which is the new, more idiotic spelling for the Army?  Personally, I prefer the classic HUA which really stands for Heard, Understood and Acknowledged……but what do I know…I’m just a throw back to reality…hehe.

    Bah, now what possible fun is it if topics can’t deviate onto irrellevant tangents after, oh, say 200 replies?  smile

    acting civilized is for the weak, trying to keep people in check they know they couldn’t otherwise, because they would be pummeled by a physically superior individual who doesnt want to take no shite.  we should all let each other duke it out, cause in my opinion thats fair play.


  • Your’e nuts dude!! :-D

    OK that would work in the Hobbsian state of nature… but people have moved beyond the shadows of the cave and modern “superior” individuals are created by their intellect and not the sword.


  • If people are hating each other, just make a “post a pic of your cat” thread.  People who like to argue on the internet also seem to love cats and become best friends when they show pictures of them.


  • We aren’t hating one another. We just have a funny way of showing our love sometimes.
    PS- post a pic of your ugly dog!!

    You know, in some organizations, if you show too much love for someone you can get thrown in jail.


  • What in the world would you be talking about Jennifer??


  • Doggy love??
