If my Son or Daughter (who are about your age) posted that, to someone MY age, I would be having a long talk with them right now. If you meant no disrespect, I am sorry, I took it as such.

That's the great thing about this country now shartley. People are starting to realize there is absolutely no reason the younger people should yield their thoughts and what they believe in just because someone is older. Sure, you should respect someone who is older, but just because you are older doesnt mean you are not entitled to be treated like you treat others. While people might not mean to insult you, you do feel insulted and disrespected(you stated that,) well did you ever think of the possibility that you do the same thing to other people, insult them without even knowing it. Maybe you do know you are insulting them but figure you have the right too because you are older and to be respected. Either way, please realize you offended a lot of people in this thread.

Again you show you can not resist putting your head on the chopping block.

Do NOT for a second attempt to lecture me as if I am a school buddy or that you have some high ground to stand on. I will not even degrade myself by pointing out more than that you seem to get yourself in trouble on a more regular basis here on AO than about any other member.

Maybe you do know you are insulting them but figure you have the right too because you are older and to be respected. Either way, please realize you offended a lot of people in this thread.

Why do you do this? Any person on this forum with the exception of you would have realized i was simply pointing out that you do not get treated differently because of your age. You, yourself implied you were being disrespected, and that the accused should be spoken too about respect. All i said was, just because you are older doesnt mean you get special treatment, someone on AO is going to treat you just like they would their friends, because its the age group they most react with. Adults tend to care a lot about respect, and feel as if children should respect them. I am sure your friends who are also adults feel the exact same way. You bring that attitude here also, i am sorry shartley, i see no rule anywhere saying i must respect you because you are an adult and i am not.

Also, I never said you were not allowed to state your feelings, what i said was, you dont seem to really care when people say they are insulted by you. Yet you make a huge issue if you even feel the slightest bit insulted. Also shartley, i have the pathological "getting into trouble" syndrome? Well, i wasnt the one who was banned from this forum for starting fights, now was I?

The last page of this thread has had nothing to do with the topic of this thread. If there are personal issues, take them up through PM's or e-mail. NOT on the forums in the middle of a discussion about something completely different. If this thread continues to go the direction it is on right now, it gets closed. So my best suggestion would be don't bother posting unless it relates to the topic of this thread.

I am not even going to get into your entire post. I stand by what I said.

I WILL however comment on this:

Well, i wasnt the one who was banned from this forum for starting fights, now was I?

[ThePatriot]

Yes, upon that issue i was mistaken, i only saw the post by Rob saying you caused too many fights and you could be allowed back "When he needed to wear a sweater in hell." From this i made my own assumptions and they were incorrect, i apologize for the mis accusation regarding the event where i thought shartley was banned.

[shartley]

Accepted.

Well I did some research and there actually is an official treaty between the U.S. and Israel. The name escapes me but it is what has led to our close political ties and will continue to keep the bond between the two nations strong.

And the english/german support was true as well (not that I doubted, it just took forever to find proof worthy of my teacher).

Also an interesting fact was the Israeli co-development of Nuclear Arms with South America.

Also Shartley, I PMd you, Hopefully we can work whatever problem you had with my statement out.

Mav,
Thank you for your PM. Our conversation was very nice. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Yes, it was all a misunderstanding, and all is fine between us. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy Paintballing!

*GASP* Mav, you had to verify one of MY posted facts? Army's knowledge was put to the test? Dave's storage of historical fact was called into question?

I am incensed! I am outraged! This is an insult I will not stand for! You have slapped the face of your better, I shall strike you down as a bolt of lightning from Heaven itself!


..............Yeah...Riiiight




*edit* the above was contributed in a light hearted manner. All referrences to Heaven, or the implied Almighty, are strictly done in the vein of humor. Dave, Army, nor AO, is not responsible for anyones serious outlook on the diatribe put forthwith....*end of edit*

Well thank heavens! I'm done with my project. 50 Slides of quality presentation. If it doesn't take the next 20 years of my life I'll upload it on here so you guys can see the fruits of my labor.

*EDIT* Nope, nevermind, even zipped it's 5.16 Megs, unzipped it's like 5.86 or 68. I need sun, I sat at this screen for too long these last three weeks.

Comedy or no, I find the fact that he verified all the facts he was told with an outside source, one of the most refreshing things I have seen in a long time.

For somebody to get a lot of information from people he trusts, and then verify it. Making sure it's all true...it makes a grown man weep. There's hope for my generation yet.

Isn't this what AO is all about? About not blindly trusting common wisdom and actually finding out for ourselves?

[Mav D MagMan]

Exactly, *Joke* well unless we hear it from Tom Kaye, then it may as well be law... *Joke*

Hmm I forgot there is a way to share my endeavors, let me know how you guys think it came out because I haven't gotten any feedback from the teacher, I just turned it in last night.

It will be the last one on the list... "William Sides, Block 3"
Israel Presentation

[Jack_Dubious]

Just a quick thought....

In WWII when a small group of Jews fought against the German occupation, they were called the "Resistance".

When Palestinians fight against Israeli occupation, they are called "Terrorists".

The Germans pushed the Jews out of thier homes and into ghettos and concentration camps.

The Israelis bulldoze the homes of Palestinians and force them into "refugee" camps.

Just something for you to think about...
