Ah, we have a coherent thought what bothers our Concerned poster.
Newsflash - what Mihais said - giving immigrants cash to go home and strengthen the borders - is already happening in Europe.
No outcry for the poor immigrants by the liberals. Nor some public protests on the streets for the 'unfair' treatment.No such thing as a good tax - Churchill

Okay, friend, maybe we should start this off from the beginning:
Yes, this is a military oriented board, but not by a long shot is it dominated by the military. Some of the most distinguished posters, such as Parihaka and BigFella are not military professionals, nor are some of the most valued minions and tools, such as Doktor and YellowFever.
There is no one dominating opinion here, and there is no line that needs to be toed. (If I toed you once?) Our mods and admins run the gamut from military professionals, defense professionals and private citizens. Our overlord is a German civilian, and the closest he ever came to the military was when he called the cops on the latest vampire ex-girlfriend out to get him.
And by the way, you are here to earn respect. It's how this particular board works. You may be a bloody genius in your field, but until you prove it, your word is worth shite. We have (and had) people from all fields of life here, from Generals down to privates, from construction workers to nuclear physicists. You know what every single one of the people here have in common? We all have worked hard to build our credibility. We don't make shite up and we don't talk crap about shite we don't know about. We know what we're talking about, back up what we're talking about with proven facts, and we admit when we're wrong. Most of all, we are a very tight knit group and can (usually) tell when we're joshing around, mocking people, things and each other, and when we're being dead serious. If you for a split-second think anyone was actually advocating internment camps or summary execution based merely on people being immigrants, then you really, really have got a lot to learn.
And one final thing: No one is forcing you to be here. You can benefit plenty from being here. Depending on who you are, we could also benefit from having you here, but the way you're typing at the moment, it doesn't look like it. You say you've lurked, so you know what this board is like. We don't suffer fools, unless they're our fools, and we don't suffer trolls unless they're our trolls.
So now the choice is yours: Either show is why it's worth it for us to have you around, why we will benefit from your presence, or begone and annoy us no more. The onus is on you to prove yourself to us, not the other way around.
Good evening.

About mocking&stuff.I find incresingly funny to mock all the worried,scared,disconcerted and if our new friend permits me,even those concerned.
Every crappy,stupid or even natural thing is now a cause for the above.Guns in school are scary.Fvcking idiot,just take care!!(btw,when cops came to school to lecture us,kids on anything,we'll just stare at the guns fascinated) .A movie shows disconcerting levels of sex and violence.Folks are concerned that Lord of the Rings is ''racist''. ''Ohhh my God,where this will lead our societies!!!???'' (said person being usually a self proclaimed atheist,but he finds god when faced with traumatic events ).

And I asked a valid question of whether the type of talk and tone seen in this thread is tolerated/encouraged here. I still haven't gotten an answer..
Rather than appeal to senior members or military professionals to remove comments you personally disagree with and imply they must agree with those views if they do not remove them or plaster the board with disclaimers, how about you reply to those you disagree with with your own views?Last edited by Parihaka; 24 Feb 13,, 21:59.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here:
GC, I'm betting that you're a big fan of the UN or some other form of a unified world government, and that if the UN or said world government were just given awesome power, we would all live in a much better world. How close am I?

And thanks for your detailed reply above. I understood everything you said and agree with them. One difference though, the initial posters certainly weren't just joshing around, there was an element of seriousness to it. And while I understand that this is a tight-knit group, there are hundreds more of unregistered guests for every poster who read everything you do write.

Ben,this one is special,brother.He has chutzpah.He has cojones. He's coming to our globalized tribe and tells us what to think and our mods what to do.But otherwise he's just the same ole.He asks for an authority to send the black coats and jackboots to smash our faces.Ya,being a Joo might have it easy.Gassing is quick.But me being a counter-revolutionary by birth and choice I'm really bound to a work to death camp.Those who know don't speak
He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36

We're old. We're mean. We're crabby. We don't care. And we have the right to say get the hell out. We lost the ability to effect policy once we left. Don't like what we say against those who acts like our enemy? Stay out of our house, especially during feeding time.

Besides, gassing is so OLD. The modern tyrants prefer "wiping Israel (the 'Zionist Entity') off the map" or "Pushing the Jews into the sea"Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Usually, I like the ones who get on a high-horse, but this one is getting boring.
He doesn't know us, yet he takes the liberty to be our judge. We said it in seriousness, old members, mods, admins are slackers, etc, etc...
