And how did Drex get in here? Well, you think you get prosecuted because you are impossibly good (and you arent) and I put Drex as an example of why you are wrong. He is better, he is liked, nothing wrong. He doesnt even try to stand out, like you do. Confident people dont need to remind others of how good they are.


No it's not a perfect analogy, since it doesn't really reinforce your position; as well as that it only reinforces mine by proving that the theoretical opponent is not worthy! :(

I get "prosecuted" because of some subconcious requirement for people in this community to somehow "get back at me" on the boards because of how I used to rub things in their face after I shot 'em down or something, it probably also has something to do with how old I was when I did that type of stuff. The predictable and overused "young punk" genre of flames against me is somewhat of an evident to abet this theory--everyone has egos, and they can be hurt, even in online games, for some.

Drex never really did things that would upset people, aside from shooting them down. So no, I don't expect he would be in line for retribution on the boards. Why are you now using the "AH skill poking tactic?" I thought that was against your "i only play for fun" creed.

Ali wasn't confident? Hmm... I remember them taking his blood pressure at a weigh in as he was talking more toejam than I could in 20 years(and they thought that he did it because of his nerves)--and his blood pressure was normal.

Here's an apt little aphorism for ya: The internet is nearly 60% my release, it's not nearly my reality.

Assume what you like, your "culture" pales in comparison to what I grew up to appreciate and understand. Lets just leave it at that.

Its gonna be a sour adventure when you go face to face with the real world, Nath[BDP].  You want to be a NAVY fighter pilot if I remember correctly? LOL. Here are two words for You, wich you probably know the meaning but cant quite grasp, they both describe you perfectly, and they are quite a combination for disaster: arrogant and naive.


eek, the inevitable real-life attack has arrived! Assumptions, assumptions...

pretentiousness is just an amusing by-product.

k thx bye


Funniest thing about this thread is that all I did was post a critique of two movies, and it somehow warranted a tirade paragraph about how my writing is bad. I don't know what it is, but I could care less about how someone else's writing came off to me across the internet.

But you were probably just trolling me, right?

Nath, you ever heard the term "quit to save face"?

This would be a time to give it a shot.

at this late stage in this thread (as in life), i have come to the unmistakable conclusion that the tactile rewards of producing a really good toejam is a significantly superior form of self gratification.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

Ah yes... and by that reasoning, I know a person in real life just like you, who even thinks he's a Nazi Luftwaffe pilot.

All this hijacking of this thread related to Sum of All Fears....shame on you guys!

Anyway, I have been a Clancy fan from the beginning. I did not really like the way they changed the movie around from the book. I also did not like the way the portrayed Mr. Clark. The attack on the CVG was bogus as well...referencing an earlier post on the Hawkeye and Aegis....with those bombers getting that close or even getting within striking distance given that DEFCON level. How about the Tomcats that would have been patrolling with their Pheonix missles. Oh well Hollywood.

One thing I did like was the bomb. In real life there are no digital readouts counting down time to detonation.

On a general note though gents. Prepare yourselves for the future. Someones going to cook off a nuke somewhere in the
immediate future....within the next ten years I believe. The technology, will, and capability is just proliferating too much.

Nath-

Just curious, and you don't have to answer, but do you really believe being good in a game makes you right in a discussion, or that one has any connection whatsoever with the other?

Isn't that like saying that, since in all likelihood I could kick your a** in real life should we ever meet, (and this is NOT a threat, I am not a violent person in any way) I am right?

You may be right about some people wanting to take jabs at you out of some malice, but doesn't that seem like such a broad sweeping generalization? And can it be that you really are unaware of the blatant arrogance with which you occasionally post? Not that you deserved any attack in this thread, you just offered an opinion. Still, your explanation for why the community reacts to you as they do has me scratching my head...

Yup, you were younger when you started, and you did things beyond just talking trash. I don't think much on that anymore, because you have matured in my opinion. And, if you want to use words you know for a fact more than half the AH population won't understand, that's fine by me, I'll look up the ones I don't know if I need to, you aren't doing any harm. You should however be aware you apparently harbor as much ill will toward some here as you feel from them.

Ah... leave nath alone.  He's aquired all this new classical music knowledge that he's so eager to show off.  Eventually he'll learn about something called "context".

Context?

Certainly you meant “Milieu” Dega.

Stravinsky, the apprentice to Rimsky-Korsakov, was the traditionalist, whose Symphony in E-flat  ( not to be confused with SOB’s corndog movement in B flat, sometimes refered in classical circles as simply “The Flurrrblap of the BUTTerfly) had the spirit, if not the very flesh, of the music of the Russian Nationalist school.

Your use of such meager and uninspired words Dega, do show clarity, simplicity, lucidity and moving to contrapuntal writing and serialism like Stravinsky’s music did in the neo-classical period.

But please use “The Enfant Terrible” stage, which evolved under the magnetising influence of Diaghilev. It’s of course beginning with The Fire-Bird and right through Petrouchka, The Rite of Spring, The Song of the Nightingale and Les Noces.

Most noticable by complicated rhythms, dissonanc, polytonality and severe melodies and thesaurus usage.

Sheesh.

ROTFLMAO! Good one Creamo.

Just one question... You've heard SOB's corndog movement in B-flat (I've also heard it refered to as "load de corndog")?  You guys really should get a door on the FDB HQ bathroom (assuming that is what he was using at the time).
