Boarspear is taking it old school...

Well, you got the "old" part right, but I doubt Barbie has ever seen the inside of a school.

I politely asked for people to tone it down. If you can't do that. Then you are starting a fight with me and it is a fight you cannot and will not win. This isn't just for your sake but for everyone who doesn't heed my friendly requests that people treat each other with some degree of respect.

I've said this several times, I'll say it again. I don't intend to post IN the Military Tactics forum at all, any post there I wont read. I wont speak TO or ABOUT MR Brewer unless he makes another comment insulting me or my opinions instead of commenting on the subject or questioning my motives purely as character assassination, if thats refusing to tone it down then so be it. If he or any other member quotes me and attacks I will respond in kind, aside from that I'm done.

OK, how about taking Mikes quotes out of your sig?
It means that, every post you make, on every section of the forum shows that you have issues with Mike and that's not healthy either for him, or for you.
I'd like to see you and others here, dropping that nasty little trick.

Fair enough...I'd a thought of it myself If I'd had some sleep.

As was the case when he was slamming you in his sig line, that's his little passive-aggressive way of getting over on a lie. He'll say "I'm not talking about you" and then put something in his sig line so it shows up in every post. He's done it with jubaji, you, and several others. I don't see why I'd be any different.

Once again, if it isn't an outright lie, it's at the very least complete inconsistency of character.

I forget who brought it up a few pages back, but it's a lot like the "causes" Boar chooses. My issue is not that he doesn't pound the podium for every cause. Of course we pick those causes that are most important to us. But one of BoarSpear's stated causes, one that he has already said is at the very root of every other problem he points out, is our unwillingness as a nation to "put our own house in order before casting stones." He's made that a rallying cry of sorts for anyone who's against the war to get behind, and he uses it as the basis for most of his Bush-bashing. So when I point out that several million more incidents of rape and murder happen here every year than in Iraq (almost all of them committed against Americans), it is not some distant or removed issue to take attention off what he cares about. If he is being consistent in his arguments (or character) then the incidents of rape and murder at home are exactly and precisely what he ought to be focused on! They are happening here at home, so if he were truly interested in putting his own house in order, he'd start here - wouldn't he? Yes, the stats on household accidents was thrown in to point out the absurdity of Boar's rants. But the stats on murder and rape ought to leave him cold, assuming he truly does care about the murder and rape of human beings. And yet nothing is said, no articles quoted, no news stories re-posted.

Doesn't make much sense, now does it...

Just take note of how the super moderator takes it as weakness and attacks me every freakin time I give him an inch...lead by example right? I get bitched out, try to cooperate and Brewer has to sneak in one more attack after the other guy drops his hands...way to show leadership....like I said earlier he reignites shit every time I walk away...Talkin' shit as you leave we have all experienced that guy.

yeah I remove your quotes from my sig,you attack....way to show your true colors.

[BoarSpear]

Thanks for deleting those quotes (even though I still stand by them). It's at least a step toward living up to your word.


we'll see how long it lasts...

Hmm when I hid shit in white you you put a mark on my record....You're welcome thanks for attacking me AFTER you knew I removed them...not once but TWICE, you're quite the leader arent ya? And he gets mad when I point out he's a hypocrite, priceless....suffice it to say I've read the LAST freakin Mike Brewer post EVER...I dont really care what you have to say the one thing for certain is I wont respect where it came from so the ideas wont have merit, exactly the way you feel about me I'm sure... so since you've proven incapable of growing up and stepping away even After I did, you're ignored, blabber away, you aint worth my another second of my time. Insult away declare victory whatever you need to feel important...

I feel the need to knock a couple of old heads together.

As I recall, they did initially spend time destroying opium crops. At some point they slowed down on that because it was the only income many people had in that country and therefore the war on drugs was also a war on the poor in Afganistan who then had an interest in helping the warlords (or something like that).

Well in my country, growing illegal substances would land me in jail, broke or not.
Would it be justifiable to allow these people to continue manufacturing Anthrax, just because they were broke?
Of course not, so why is Opium any different?

"War on the poor?"
What about the poverty, misery and mayhem these 'poor' people create in the west?

Burn all the crops and keep burning them until they think of something else to do.
If they don't like it, they can leave their country, find something else to do, or starve to death.
Frankly, I don't care.
