For 50 cents a day you can feed a starving child in Uganda. Or you can spend a buck a day and fly the most realistic online WWII combat simulation *to date*. I'd rather fly...
-
That was not funny.
Not nearly.
-
and your point???
-
my point?. That I dont do stupid jokes about the cruel and poor state of people in the world..

Hey RAM, go back to Spain! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I was just posting a thought about the pricing thread going on and my opinion of it. No offense intended. If that doesn't sate your need for political correctivity, Kilo Mike Alpha ought to. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Actually, FuzzBunny, what was *your* point? Made me laugh though.... the absurdness of it... still don't get it though.

Nothing to do with political correctivity. YOu should be in Somalia or Sudan, and be one of those guys dying in hunger.
Then I'd let you do this kind of jokes with no problem.
If you still had any wishes to do it, that's it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/mad.gif)

The whole thing was meant to be absurd. RAM there needs to pull his panties out of his ass, theyr'e up there pretty high... I'm quite sure Mr. RAM that you are surely a great contributor to these charitable organizations and that from a top your perch on the moral high ground you find it impossible to find any humor in anything. It's clear to see by the amount of posts this fella has made that he has no other responsibility in life other than to find silly little posts such as mine and to bash them with his large and generous "intellect" . Again I apologize to anyone I *may* have offended, except of course RAM. It's amazing that there are posts of prafanity and racism, yet you are taken aback by a parody of a commercial. GET A LIFE RAM!!! This just in... RAM has no life...
-
Beautiful words Yeager.
You, RAM, don't allow me to do anything In case you forgot, you are nobody to me, and I am nobody to you, so therefore let it rest and dont post to this thread anymore.
-
Humm...you remember me someone... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
you are a stupid, and a lucky stupid.
Pray god you never end in the streets, you stupid. Thank god for the money you have.
But dont do light jokes about people who in year 2000 is dying because hunger, while you are spending money on a flight simulator.
And yes, I am putting money on help programs for the 3rd world. I have "sponsored" a kid in India. It costs me 1500 pesetas/month. (some 8$...may seem few...but I'm not rich ,either)
What do you do to avoid hunger in the world, you STUPID MORON?. Laugh at people dying?.
You may feel proud of yourself...but you stink.
And BTW other thing I dont have, but sense of humour a lot. And life, a lot too.
But I cant, I dont laugh about dying kids in Sudan, Uganda, India...wherever.
-
yeager, one person alone cant' change the world.
Millions can. But a million starts from number one...
-
RAM, you could help almost 4 Indian people if you would quit AH.... And plenty more here. Something to think about. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Ram;
It is human nature to joke and laugh about things that may be too painful to bear witness to. Humor in general, often is based upon a subject that just isn't actually very funny. You think?

Little verbal assaults from a little man, with little means, doing little to make the world a better place. Me, I am proud of myself, being an EDUCATED professional in the business of saving lives on a daily basis while you toil endlessly at making an bellybutton of yourself in public forum. Name calling and overreactions to silly jokes are the hallmarks of (dare I use the word and be a hipocrite?)genitally challenged buffoons such aas yourself. Ignorance breeds contempt, and RAM my boy, you are CONTEMPTUOUS. Please refrain from furthur replies so as to save some face for you and those from your cess, er, I mean gene pool.

Whooooooooo-eeee!
This should be a true test of the "kindler, gentler Ram" we've all heard about.
(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Seriously, this has degenerated into a flamefest, hasn't it?
Time to shut off the oxygen and let it go out.
No more from me, then.

Welcome Fuzzy! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Mino, is my humble opinion that there are some things not to joke about. Hunger dying persons arent'
This guy wasnt doing a joke in the way you mean. He did a joke saying that he'd rather pay for flying than for saving a guy's life in Uganda. If you find that acceptable, ok. I find it repugnant.
Fuzzywhatever, I dont have to save face about anything. I dont give a F!·$ about what you think, and you wont shut up, that for sure.
You say you are educated in saving lifes?, wich lifes?...the ones near you?...
You laughed about men dying of hunger in africa. Let me tell you, any of them is worth ten of you. You stink.
And now ,you haughty over-prided guy, go and sleep. Dont think in skeleton humans dying in dessers, maybe it will quit your appetite for your bacon&eggs breakfast?
Hypocryte....
-
Toad, I wont go ballistic over stupid things in this world such as "you HOed me", or so. They are worth nothing in real life.
Dying persons are, hungry kids are, Africa hunger is. Asia hunger is. Poor countries are.
And this guy is laughing at all that, and still thinks well about himself?
Oh,well... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
-
Hey Toad you are right, this is my last post to this thread. I just feel sorry for the Knights that have to fly with this fellow. Everyone else I'm sure realizes that it was an inane parody of a COMMERCIAL that in was no way meant to downplay the unfortunate souls who are hungry and homeless. That is all. Except that if you wanna get rich RAM sit on some coal, you'll make diamonds in 2 minutes!!!
I'm ZOOMING outta here... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

REally?...
seemed just the opposite. I told you that it wasnt funny, and you answered "go back to spain" and something about "political correctiveness".
You did a joke about dying men in Uganda. And you still feel proud about it?. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
again, you stink.
-
RAM, you are wonderful (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Your energy and compassion are boundless!!
It's just a shame it is misdirected (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Your heart is in the right place though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

For someone who hasn't seen the commerical (like myself and possibly RAM) its a sick 'joke', and I share RAM's concern. What was the original commercial?
As for alledged 'humour' and subject matter? How do you feel about racist jokes? But its only a joke, so it doesn't matter does it? 'I didn't mean it'.
-
Fuzzybunny
Just one question.
Did you ever saw or hold on your Hands a Child dying from Hunger? I think no. Because if you did, you would never put a flightsim equal to a hungry Child.
It was a very bad joke. Educated People didn't make such jokes.
Sailor

I don't know of this commercial, either. I see nothing humorous about starving people, no matter where they live.
I hope you were trolling, Fuzzy.

I agree totally bro.

I for one am not going to crucify someone for making a tasteless joke, we certainly are all guilty of that at one time or another, and I think that Ram did one of his knee-jerk reactions to this guys dull sense of humor...
Fuzzy bunny, you're welcome to fly with VMF-323 anytime,as we do not judge a person by one 'dark-humored' post.

That's your lookout Ripsnort - if that's the kind of person you want in your squad.
The 'joke' was crap, pal. The sick part of it made it worse.
Hey Wilfrid, Sailor - well said guys! How's the 99th getting on without me? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Probably alot better, I should think, hehehe (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

RAM... you must really hate paramedics and doctors. Behind closed doors they make wise cracks and jokes about the dead and dying regularly, and it's those very, um, what was the word you used.."stupids" that save lives every day. You see, man kind makes humor about depressing things because if he constantly dwelled on the hurt, pain, injustice, etc. it would drive him mad. Join in our reindeer games.
Why don't you concern yourself less with what others do, seeing as though you're nobody's daddy here, and second of all.. you aren't starving in Sudan either so what right do you have to speak on the subject?
RAM, Robin Williams said it best in Good Morning Vietnam... he might as well have been talking to you when he said, "You are in more dire need of a blow job than any other white man in history".
And Dowding.. Fuzzybunny just happens to be in MY squad and has been for three years. If Fuzzy was squadless Ripsnort should/would jump at the chance to have as solid a person, pilot, leader, friend, etc. as FuzzyBunny. There isn't anyone's membership in my squad I value more than his. He has made me laugh for three years, and has been a friend. So you're the expert on what jokes are funny or not eh? Let's hear it.. be funny Mr. Funnyman! Bust our guts! Loser.
You are all bafoons for assessing someone's entire character based on one wise crack. Not one judgement you have passed on this guy is anywhere close to the truth.
Oh, and Fuzzy just happens to work at a hospital, it could be your life he's helping to save next you judgemental bastards and he'd be happy to do it.

I work in a Hospital too but I don't make jokes about dying ones.
This has nothin to do with whats youre profession, only with a little respect against other People.
The good thing about a written word is that you can reread what you have wrote and decide is it to be released or not. That means you have no excuses if you send crap out. Thats the point.
Sailor
-
metronom, you are the only one I've ever heard of that doesn't do that, Sailor. You are an oak man! You are like Jesus... so in that case.. surely you can understand why some might, Sailor. And you know full well they don't do it to "disrespect" anyone, Sailor. And what people never hear don't hurt them, and that's the truth, Sailor. Like the starving, dead, and dying are bothered by a "joke", Sailor. They evidently have worse things on their minds, Sailor / Dork.

Just dont say you admire the Roman model, for the search and destroy mission. They go crazy when you do that.

My learjet seats have Scotch stains all over them. HAving new leather thats aged and treated by virginal Island chicks is the sweet solution.
Now that's a worthy cause!
BTW, I wouldn't spend .50 cents a day to feed the starving to last 2 more miserable days.
-
The saddest thing of all is that such a pitiful ammount of money could feed these starving people, but you know the saddest thing is that your money does'nt go to the right people. The respective governments (dictatorships) in Africa seize this money anyway to buy guns to fund their never ending civil wars and even the Oxfam shipments of food are more often seized to feed the soldiers to fight for a dusty patch of land while their children die in their homes.
It would be nice if the more advanced nations people could give such a pitiful ammount to wipe out hunger and the disease in these countries that we have already wiped out in the West but until the African states take responsibility for their people over a patch of land then I for one will not give to such charities until I can be assured my money goes to the right people.
-
Revvin - I see your point but I don't think it is true for all organisations. Many take the aid you buy DIRECTLY to the people who need it, bypassing the government completely. Some friends of mine have just built a school in Ghana, they also took a load of stuff to help the people there' the government were not involved at all. This is true for many organisation working in areas where famine has struck.
Well said sailor. Racey, if I cracked a racist joke , and then justified with the excuse that I work with Black people, would you be satisfied? I think not.
Anybody who has been involved with helping the third world would find that 'joke' tasteless, so I don't understand your surprise that people are offended.
-
Dowding> I agree that some charities get through to the right people when it comes to building schools ( <S> to your friends) but as soon as these charities that supply food and clothing have been to these vilalges then the paramilitaries arrive and confiscate the food and clothing for their own means, building schools are about the best way to help them, educate them, I saw an article a while ago that got kids to go to school by rewarding them with a warm meal and that was good but for most causes I just feel I've wasted my well intentioned contribution.
-
Maybe you're right, what you describe does occur, especially where there is war. But the organisation they were with goes back every year, to improve that particular area of Ghana, and is completely non-profit making.
I'm not lecturing, by the way - I don't do enough really. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I was meant to go with my friends to Ghana (post-graduation travel thing) but fell ill just before, and couldn't go. Nevermind - they said it was a solid school though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). I have yet to see the pictures.
It does feel sometimes that we can't do anything, no matter how much money we give though. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
This really is an O-club discussion - I don't think I'll post here anymore.

Dont even get me started on those animals over there in Africa. I say let em do what they do best, kill each other off. Sure I was all wrapped up in we are the world, and the feel good donations to ethiopia and somalia. But the second they drew my brother's blood (Marines, and yes you Army dogs) they lost all my compassion. My good friend just came here from S. Africa. His front yard had barb wire, motion sensors, trip flares. I say let em sleep in there bed they Fuc&ing made it.

Some people think that a world where 80% of the world's resourcees are consumed 20% of the population is somehow...erm...wrong.
Some people think we should do what we can to help these people, instead of just sucking money from them in the form of unrepayable loans.
Some people think that the South Aricans have made THEIR bed, and THEY should lie in it; years of opression of a majority population wouldn't exactly make them very popular in a country where that majority now has power.
If you want to start a discussion, I'd be happy to answer your post in the O-club, not here.
