my youngest also is considering the navy, he wants to be a pilot. he's hoping to get into the naval academy. he scored a 28 on the ACT as a sophomore. he's certainly not an average kid.

Dannie of course you know I mean no disrespect in any way.

Being a private at Fort Drum like my dumbass buddies were and being in flight school at Annapolis or working on nukes are two VERY different things. The Naval Academy is one of the hardest schools in the country to get into for a reason.

I am upset not at the discussion of cutting military spending,but at remarks made about high school kids who join up...and they way you say them before there is crtiticism is the way you mean them.


I get the feeling (It takes a long time ,I know) that too many people on here have a superiority complex.


Why..I'm not sure.

But I don't really feel superior to anyone. I don't feel superior to a homeless person.Why should I? There may be the smartest of all.




So if you see me a while longer it's only because I am checking a couple final pm's.


Otherwise I'm through ....use me to feel better about yourselves.

I feel superior to no one, my friend.


In fact I feel pretty low right now for making it sound like I'm putting down honorable people. I think it's time I retired from the Political section as clearly I don't know what the fuc|< I'm talking about.

no, don't go....i probably jumped the gun a bit. but i do know there are people who think the military is made up of the dregs-that more than anything is what gets me going. it's a sore subject. a lot of people have given everything in service, i hate to see them put down--not saying you put them down, don't misunderstand!!

you're right. very hard to get the whole idea of what someone is 'saying' when you can only read it.

Morty: I'm actually shocked that you would consider leaving here. I've even gotten used to your blather....your comments in this post are touching,really!

you imbecile! you can't even speak for yourself...my mailbox isn't full of mass rejection of me.......not a one has bothered to support your crap! So take a hint and you shut up...hall monitor wanna bee!

The mailbox stuff is funny. Like I care what some chickensh.it, who won't say a word to me on here, but s.hit talks me behind my back thinks.

Please tell me who supports your crap. I gave DT the chance to tell me in private what they thought. 2 people were kind to send a word....but you sent me 14 replies about me(obsess much)......so it appears that your drivel hasn't spurred the onslaught that you would haved liked. You're over your head,KID! (he hates that) and you're late for your bong party!

Talk about denial... I'm sure there are people who don't like me. I can live with that. But for you to act like you're some liked guy is pure folly. You're a running joke. People sit around seeing what kind of idiocy you'll come up with next.

The in private stuff is beyond me. I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you're fishing for pity again, it's too late. As I said to you last time you tried to play the bitch role and beg for pity. I post what I think. I can't help what anyone else posts and I clearly don't need anyone's help making you look like a moron. In fact, most of the time you don't even need my help. You do a pretty good job of it on your own. lol

People have disagreed with me obviously, but I don't believe they share your vitriolic dislike for me. You're over the top. People can always PM me, and I'll respectfully respond to them. I won't harrass them as you did to me... sounds to me like you're the one who's distressed!

[Mortimer]

OK...so I'm sorry I hissy fitted.


I am leaving ,but not for anything that happened here today.















lol

You have no idea what is going on in today's world. Your posts show it. i also happen to disagree with almost everything you say. Stop whining.

The harrassment stuff is amusing though. You tried it last time, and as I recall rescinded it. For the record, since you are looking for pity. I pm'd you to tell you what I thought about your ideas. You responded and we went back and forth for a little while. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you were responding and insulting me too right? So I guess you were harrassing me also. Stop whining. lol

You have no idea about me...that's the thing, but on and on you go about your opinion of my posts and the rest. And I disagree with your version...so let it all be...just go your way, whatever that is...and I'll do the same. I'm sure we'll both be better off
