It just like how Islam has been twisted for some of the people over there. It is a religion of peace if you do it right...just like every other religion...but people twisted it to the point where genocide, mass murder, and random murder are all considered good. If you use religion "right" then you can wield some insane power and cause chaos...the end result is hatred you can focus or tons of money from idiots...both sides did it in the fight over the holy land a while ago.

Wanted: Urban industrial blight-type junk
candyman replied to Destroit's topic in General Promotion & Want Ads
Also, if I could fake some paperwork you could even have your very own old and crusty Sergeant Major walking around and muttering in your backyard! He comes with tons of pre-programed phrases like "You slimy piece of shit" and "No you greasy fuck I won't retire" and "I served too long to take that damn PT test you damn child" and he even comes with kung-fu grip and a evil looking knife that fits perfectly with his demented mindset that has been warped after all these years... Ok just kidding I can probably only get you the old metal junk...$12,000 gets you a 2.5 ton troop carrier that is completely functional...it is also from NAM! Oh and it is street legal too and will carry all of your friends to battle... -

Well, if I drive home on leave in July I could bring along some crap from the ranges at Ft. Gordon...there are a ton of those punched iron plates used for runways and all sorts of other crap left over from Vietnam... -
I find Rammstein videos to be quite pleasing...but you I usually start the video and then go to another page to conduct other business as the video really doesn't matter.

How to develop a thick skin?
candyman replied to Troy Spiral's topic in Relationships, Pets & Domestic Homelife
We I am just going by how I see my friends react to things. I kinda look at a "thicker skin" in the same way that I look at people when they "blow off their anger" so they don't lash out later. I see it as almost a bad habit. You still get angry later on...and now you are conditioned to lash out in order to "rid" yourself of the future anger which will still be there. How you react to things, big or small, is how you react to them. I didn't really mean to say that all of it was "good" but I can't see going through life without fucking up a few times and then saying that I am sorry for it later. I am just seeing too much conditioning for people now...it is really weird. Crap for kids like if you believe in yourself you can do anything. This toleration crap where if you don't like someone you must be racist, sexist, homophobic, etc...because there is NO way that you can just not like someone it has to be much more sinister than that. I say blow up, cry, do whatever you do when shit comes your way. THAT could even be your "thick skin" because you can learn from it. Thinking about it might suck but you could see another way of dealing with it. Going through Basic and now being in the active Army has taught me that thick skin makes for a poor individual in an alarming number of cases. They over analyze everything and can start something out of nothing in their head when all I was trying to do was talk to them. You develop preconceived ideas of people..."templates" if you will and start slapping them on people or situations without knowing it...which I see as causing problems. People with this think skin have me pegged as a homophone and a racist and continually remind me of my "evil ways" because their thick skin turned my anger towards them as INDIVIDUALS because they were acting like asshole to alot of people into hater towards all of "their kind". I would suggest developing something more along the lines of a "mental filter" than "thicker skin"...because if you keep deflecting shit with the thickness all that energy directed at you still has to go somewhere... Either some of that makes sense or this 24 hour shift with WAY too much Mountian Dew is getting to my brain and you can delete my post... -

candyman replied to Troy Spiral's topic in Relationships, Pets & Domestic Homelife
It all depends on too many things. I really don't think that developing a think skin is actually a positive because you are trying to get over part of your humanity...an ugly part but it is still a part of it. If the person is just trying to egg you on then sure by all means ignore it. But there are too many variables that factor into our reactions to tell someone that they need thicker skin. My last point will also be that in the war of words and thick skin the skin will always lose. It is just like in the war between bullets and armor...the armor is always a step behind and will never be stronger and will always fail eventually. If you bet all of your money on the armor and don't put stock on how to get along without it then you are fucked... -

Well, I mean all the diseases they found that could possibly cause a zombie thing to happen would basically turn people into shuffling sick people. You could shoot them I guess...but it would kinda be a dick move. -
I am currently active duty so my pay situation is different but we have some NG soldiers here right now so I will ask them to be sure. First, have you gone to talk to a recruiter? No they are not all that evil but if you really don't want to you can find people on the websites that are run by soldiers. Even the army website where you research joining gives you the ability to contact them. And at the recruiting station you can ask to go higher up to talk to people...as in ask for their commander...you can actually give them that order but try now to be angry about it or make it sound like an order. Ask firmly if you think they are lying to you. Second, Army can try to help you get a job if you really need it but they can only go so far in doing that by law. They can set up interviews with companies depending on your MOS which is you job in the Army. I will ask about the college payment thing when Chief gets back but in the meantime all I can tell you is that there are alot of loopholes...mostly because people took way too much advantage of the system and wasted alot of government money. If there is an active military post near to her she can go in and find the Education Center which is run by civilians. They actually love their jobs and will do everything in their power to get you educated without you having to pay for it. And THEY know loopholes that will HELP you out in certain situations. And I am sorry if this sounds by but as great as the Army is people too ofter see it as a savior if they are on hard time. It is not unfortunately. The pay is not nearly as good as people imagine it...neither are the benefits, housing, food...pretty much anything awesome people imagine us having over civilians is just that...their imagination running wild. It is good...but it won't save you. Now, if she were active it would be better for her financially. Then all she would have to pay for are extra things since housing, food, medical, and dental is free. She may not want to either but they really get on your ass for a budget and have easy ways to set up savings plans...especially through USAA.

ZOMBIES!
candyman replied to Destroit's topic in Current Events, Science, Spirituality, Politics, Religion & Sociology
If you read the data they have about what would happen, don't know if it all their data, then you would see that they found we really wouldn't need weapons for zombies. Something about how they would really act. The stuff that would cause it now would just make them slow and then die. Now looters on the other hand... -
Well fortunately I am dating nobody... ...and they let me have my chest hair. Plus it can't be removed...all the modern tools of man shatter when put to the challenge and the EPA has this thing against destroying forests I think...

These people are paid to sit there and prepare for anything and everything so I don't really find it surprising that they have this...probably had it for a while too. The funny part is that people will probably actually listen to data like this while they still ignore stuff like the already developed evacuation plans for if a hurricane did something to the coast of Louisiana...idiots... -

It is the perfect system...almost like eye for an eye kinda thing. Then when they tell you to lock it, flip it, and watch your lane you will soon see Pedro the gang banger on the end of the stick he thought he would never be on. Maybe they will take shit seriously if we do that...like what they are doing for this woman. You are in the life forever? Ok...the parole hearing is located on the Range Road in Ft. Jackson so get ready for a bus ride...and the hearing will be short.
