Nobody's hatin' at all. Feel sorry for, are amused by, sure. I don't hate the JG54 in the least. But SOME of the squad members are the very reason why the CT isn't a place I enjoy to fly in. All the things you see written about, lame bore and zoom attempts then running for the hills after blowing all their E, only fighting when they have numbers (and when you DO force them to fight, it's quite the let down after chasing them for 20min), all these things describe most the JG54 people that have posted in this thread. It's one thing to defend your squad. Understood. I would stand by a squaddie on most anything. It's quite another when said squaddie(s) are in the wrong, and their shameful actions cause your reputation to be sullied by throwing in your pearls amongst the swines.
I believe Shakespeare best explains the hatred:
‘In time we hate that which we often fear.’
No..this is much better.
"Pity the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Author: Don Marquis
And indeed you now have the CT almost all to yourselves.
For my squadies I will quote Lucius Accius:
‘Let them hate, so long as they fear.’
"Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn."
Author: Benjamin Franklin
fits much better don't ya' think?
And Andre Gide:
‘It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.’
"A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites."
Author: Quintus Curtius Rufus
more appropriate don't you think? Cause' that's about what you will get from your squaddies, lots of yappin, and tongue wagging, but heaven forbid they FIGHT. (gasp) anything but that! well...not withouth numbers anyhoo
The chest thumpers should heed the words of Sophocles:
‘For God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongues.’
ahh....at last a good quote for the aformentioned JG54 members. Interesting that you point this out to them. Good for you. Might not be too late your you afterall.
I do remember what Mom always said:
‘If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything.’ and 'Don't let em get your goat'
Mine was always saying "Get out of the Bathroom! You have been in there for hours! WHAT are you DOING in there??"
I will leave you with the wisdom of one of the greatest sages of our time, Rodney Dangerfield:
‘I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.’
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.
Rodney Dangerfield
and the reason I can talk smack about all of these guys? best quote of all, just read my Sig.
