I was going to ask you the same thing about your posting of delusional, crackpot bullshit to Slashdot like that Edgar Cayce rubbish. You expect the Slashdot community to swallow it? You obviously haven't been paying much attention APK, you sad, sad cunt.
I think your brain is failing you again old fool - if you look carefully, you'll see it's actually yourself who is posting anonymously.
Now, as to your hypocrisy, I don't need to state anything, your idiot words are there for all to read and your blind stupidity at then denying your hypocrisy provides entertainment for all.
I do so love playing with low-IQ trolls like you because your type always twitches amusingly when poked with a stick.
Best of all, you're outraged that someone distracted you from your own stick-poking behaviour. Hypocrisy upon hypocrisy, you are just such rich comedy gold!
Hi APK, how are you enjoying your 1-person-block-party with all your anonymous friends? Sorry, anonymous hypocritical friends. Man, you have quite the social life!
U.S. Naval map backs him. Your 20 year fake online name's delusional and nothing backs you. Grow up little boy.
And so it begins. I'm not APK, no, I'm just an anonymous friend who shows up to assist APK in his assault against the whole world.
Nope, no APK here, nope! Everyone is dreaming, APK is right! Watch as all his anonymous friends line up to support him! Look, they're accusing people of 'hiding behind fake names'. Do you think they get the joke?
Ahhh, I thought it had to be you. Only you are so doggedly persistent and determined to demonstrate your own stupidity by stalking other people's posts in unrelated matters. Especially after whining about others doing the same to you. Boo-hoo.
By doing so you've found the optimum path to achieving/. fame and adoration.
Now unleash the hordes of ACs pretending very hard that they're not APK, nope, not related at all, even if they do all agree with him. We stupid Slashdotters will never catch on to your dastardly scheme!
Are you going to put this on your big list of "Times APK Was Modded Up By/."? No, of course not! This richly-deserved -1 moderation wouldn't add to your 'score' and certainly wouldn't fit your internal narrative that "everybody loves APK!". We all agree with you that cherry-picking statistics is a perfectly legitimate scientific practice!
As for the quality of your submission, does it still surprise you that nobody wants to hear from a deranged, immature fool in his fifties if this is the sort of bilge you want to post to/.?
I'm hopeful you'll stalk every post I make for at least a month following my post. Why, you could use the opportunity to tell people that I'm mean and nasty and that I stalk people.
Please, APK? Your weapons-grade hypocrisy is always a pleasure to experience.
Not according to the mods. FWIW I've had a gutsful of this sort of progressive bullshit, it's the worship of "my feelings" over the often-inconvenient reality of the situation.
I say this as a liberal; a live-and-let live person who believes in the golden rule (thank you Jim Jeffries): try not to be a cunt.
I don't always succeed, but it's a guiding principle. Right now I'm writing a cunty e-mail to my landlord so I'd better be off.
Well, that's a sensible idea and I couldn't agree more, but we are not living in sensible times.
Researching the causes of crime reveals uncomfortable truths, leading to deflection, projection and plenty of blame levelled at everything but the actual causes.
I would love to provide evidence to back my claims but we are simply not permitted to have this conversation in any depth. Things will become very uncomfortable if we try.
The average person will most likely freeze in a crisis, just out of sheer human nature. It takes a lot of training to overcome that, and to build up the instinct to act
Well said. It's all to easy to armchair speculate but when the fat hits the fan - and no matter what bravado I might conjure up from my comfortable chair - I can imagine being utterly gripped by terror to the point of uselessness. What these guys did was heroic.
You and your kind is what is desperately wrong with the West.
But by all means keep screeching "Racist" whenever you come across an opinion you do not agree with. It does that whole freedom of speech thing a huge favour, and we all know that shouting down your opponent is the best way to win intelligent debates.
By God I hope the revolution comes soon enough because I want to be there with a Kalashnikov when pricks like you are finally up against the wall.
Do you realized that it was the West who is responsible for unleashing the Islamic terrorism monster?
Conspiracy theories aside, the unintended consequences of the West's invasions have put its governments in a very, very profitable position for exercising control over their own populations.
Good point. From the little I've read, anti-poachers are encouraged to use shoot-to-kill as a last resort. It does happen though. According to this article they may even receive a bonus in their pay for wounding and killing a poacher.
I appreciate you probably weren't thinking about anti-poaching efforts but having just read a little about it I'm a little intrigued by the topic.
The job itself might be quite a bit better than working as an infantry grunt. At the very least you wouldn't be facing quite the same level of danger a state-armed and trained military opponent presents. Some military experience would probably be a necessity but as I have none myself I cannot speak with any authority.
Besides, there's always the opportunity to capture poachers for information regarding their operation, perhaps even with a view to identifying the figures behind the detainees. I think it is a job with the potential for significant occupational satisfaction if you're passionate about protecting endangered species.
If you opined about all the great interior finishes of the BMWs, and had never been inside one yourself, then you'd be exposing yourself as a shithead who mindlessly parrots what he read about something in a magazine somewhere.
So, for example, someone who hungrily devours all the car magazines, knows very well the interior finishes of the cars he or she has an interest in - this person has absolutely no place voicing their opinion because their thighs have not yet pressed against the seat of such a car? Ridiculous.
In other words: the shallowness of your experience in the topic that you're commenting on suggests that your commentary is of remarkably low value and insightfulness
Thanks for proving my point - that there is always some arsehole happy to measure other people by an arbitrary yardstick and judge them accordingly. Most reasonable people know when they are light on details and offer their opinion with that caveat. You are so determined to stamp out the edge-case with your rebuttal that you're oblivious to your squashing of the rest of the bell curve.
and as such, perhaps you should shut your mouth and listen to your betters, rather than talking to hear yourself talk
From the tone of this last sentence I find it hard to tell whether you are aiming this directly at myself or using 'you' in a more general sense.
If the implied hostility is intended, I'd love to know why you feel I deserve it. Perhaps, like nearly every other AC who has replied to me, you are conflating me with the OP who stated that they'd never actually had a relationship before. I am not that person and those are not my words.
One does not need to build a BMW to know what ones likes about them. But one does need to have at least been in one. You fail analogies, like the other guy said.
You fail logic and you fail rational debate. Your reading comprehension is mostly non-existent and you have nothing to add to the conversation. If this is your best, you are absolutely not worth engaging further.
Given your repetitive and simplistic attempts at argument you've piqued my curiosity. Are you, anonymous oxygen-thief, actually APK? He's the only one I know mentally deficient enough to pretend to be two people who agree with each other in a similar style.
Have you listened to Pink Floyd? If so, you're qualified to have opinions on Pink Floyd.
Perhaps, however if someone who did not like Pink Floyd were to talk to a Pink Floyd fan, you could imagine the conversation might go along these lines:
Fan: So you don't like Pink Floyd then. Have you actually heard any?
Non-fan: I haven't heard much but what I did hear I didn't like.
Fan: So you haven't even heard much, you can't tell me the track names, o LOLOLOL you ignoramus you don't even know what you're talking about!
Non-fan: I admit I haven't heard a lot of Pink Floyd. Mostly because I don't like it.
Have you driven a BMW? If so, you're qualified to issue opinions on what you like about BMWs.
No, not necessarily, if we are going by the logic espoused by the GP (yourself perhaps?) Because there is always some bar that the detractor doesn't achieve, therefore their opinion is invalid according to this mindset.
I've only had two relationships in my life, one that lasted nearly three years and another that barely lasted a week.
You can be sure there are plenty here that would tell me I am similarly unqualified to offer an opinion on the matter with such meagre personal experience on the matter.
You may argue back that "this is different because he hasn't been in a relationship at all."
I disagree. Sure, he's not a True Scotsman like you are, but he's still obviously quite intelligent and capable of observing the behaviour of the people around him. He's especially qualified to comment if he has ever discussed people's relationships with them, which I'm sure he has.
By the same token, you're utterly unqualified to render opinions on having a relationship, because - by your own admission - you've never had one.
Well, actually, I think you're conflating me with the original poster, however that doesn't mean that I cannot call out this last point of yours as laughable poppycock.
I drive a BMW and have never driven a Mercedes. That doesn't disqualify me from thinking a CLS550 is an attractive machine, nor does it prohibit me from looking at its 'vital statistics' on paper and deciding that I'd quite like to own one. I might even go so far as to proffer my opinion that it is a desireable automobile to own.
Tell me, just tell me that I have no right to my opinion because I haven't driven it yet.
Tell me that and I'll find someone to tell you that you have no right to your opinion about Mercedes vehicles without knowing the full history of the company and a thorough understanding of the engineering underpinning the marque.

Ha! You don't know me. Everyone however knows you and most wish you'd just quietly leave and never come back. Must feel good to be famous!
You need to get a life and to get on topic here. Try being yourself even though you're a fake online name loser.
OK I have to ask: as a stalking arsehole, how long did it take before you could tolerate your own hypocrisy?
Perhaps you've become immune by starting small and growing accustomed to it, like the Man in Black did with Iocain powder?
Hi APK, how are you enjoying your 1-person-block-party with all your anonymous friends? Sorry, anonymous hypocritical friends. Man, you have quite the social life!
Hahahaha, hahahhaha! Thanks, I needed that. :)

Fuck off. Nobody cares what you think about MightyMartian and nobody wants to read your bullshit comments you childish fucking imbecile.
Hi idiot,
Please read and understand the details of the situation before dilating the anus of your opinion above the rest of us.
Thanks,
- Those of us who are sick of fuckwits spewing nonsense.

I made no such suggestion, of course, which makes you a lying sack of shit. Have a nice weekend.
Of course you didn't, it was probably a joke. Your response does quite a lot to instead prove yourself as the sack of shit in this case.
Why not crack down on the causes of crime
Well, that's a sensible idea and I couldn't agree more, but we are not living in sensible times.

Well then, what violence should we commit against those who cannot spell, mein Führer?
Thank you for your courage in writing this post. Too many view the truth as a statement of politics rather than a statement of fact.
There will be no 'one event or 'series of events' that bring the West to its senses; it will never happen. The cost will be the decay of our society.

How about simply using your keys to stab at the buttons? You're usually going to have them on you; a pen or stylus or something else may not be.

By your own admission, you've never been in a relationship
You are a fucking idiot. These are not my words, as I've already explained to you.
Go argue with yourself then, if that's what you enjoy.

Your position is simply ridiculous.
