You're right, my bad. But as Matt said, he has argued with MPM over other things. Must have combined the two in my mind. Oops.

Got my trolls mixed up I guess. :rolleyes:

I'm still not convinced they aren't one and the same...

Ah well they had a distinct style it will be easy to tell if they show up again.

I'm still not sure if they AREN'T the same person. Sure a person can slightly change their writing style, but they both seem to delight in poking and prodding people until they get angry. Very passive aggressive taunting.

I think we could suspend our disbelieve enough to assume more than one asshole knows how to use the internet and troll this site. ;)

Although that'd be quite a plot twist if they were the same people.

Oh crap tell me it's not TRUE! :eek: There's more than ONE of them? :rolleyes: I can only handle one at a time!


What is intriguing is that we usually only get ONE of that particular type, at a time. The blustering cocky 'kid' is easy to spot. These types of passive aggressive trolls are not. They love to insert some sort of bizarre remark that they KNOW will elicit an angry response.

But you're right. There are many shades of asshole (ewwww, that could be TMI)

I guess we're screwed either way. At least we can claim we tried, not that it'd do any good.

As of June 2007, there were only two Muslim chaplains in the entire Navy, and I think the odds that one of them was on the Carl Vinson for OBL's burial would be pretty low. We probably made the call based entirely on the word of a lay leader.

"A source familiar with the material seized from bin Laden's compound said Friday that U.S. Navy SEALs recovered a stash of pornography."

Do you mean "Weird Stuff" as in "Donkey Show" weird stuff or "2 Girls 1 Cup" weird stuff?

Use your imagination. Or better yet, don't.

If I used my imagination, my brain would be violated. :D

I find it humorous that Muslim scholars are decrying the fact that bin Laden did not recieve a "proper" Muslim burial yet have failed to mention the fact that he had a porn stash.

I don't think anyone takes Muslim grievances seriously anymore - because there's always an example of hypocrisy or contradiction to be found. They complain about "discrimination" when universities won't set up prayer rooms or have women-only hours in the gym, yet Muslim countries often forbid Christians from practicing openly anywhere. Muslims protest at rumors of Qur'ans getting burned, yet they burn Bibles and even desecrate their own holy books all the time. And of course, any U.S. killing of Muslims (even accidental) brings accusations of "great Satan", while Muslim terrorists bombing other Muslims doesn't.

MT2008 05-16-2011 06:36 AM

Hey, has anyone tried this yet?

They have a new mission simulating Operation Neptune Spear.

A pretty detailed account of the raid. Two dozen SEALs, with two dozen more in reserve, they must've been expect one heck of a firefight.

An even more detailed account of the raid. (And an excellent read.)

The author even took the time to identify some weapons, M4s, MP7s, and P226s.

*Of course, the withdrawal was inevitable anyway, and it's debatable whether Bin Laden was really in charge the last 10 years.

Someone else will just take control of it. Some lowly middle manager etc. The center of Al-Qaeda has actually moved more to Yemen, and the US is increasing drone strikes there. Just because he's gone dosen't mean the end of Al-Qaeda. There are many other AQ leaders.

Holy zombie thread.

(1.) Duh (the * made it pretty clear that I am aware of this)

(2.) Don't bring up old, dead threads again, please.

Wow it's The Walking Thread. :rolleyes: Okay just wanted something irreverent for my 400th posting. I think was can close this thread down don't you?
