FFS, get over yourself, Berkut.

Yeah Spicey knows all of that, it is the most obvious thing in the world, no need to restate it. :P

:lmfao:  See, now that's funny.  But not in a way you are likely to ever get.

The women commanders thing isn't funny because it isn't at all subtle.  It's just the same joke over and over again (take a stereotype about women, and insert it into the battalion "combat" story).  For people who don't get subtle jokes at all and kind of resent that fact, this obvious "humor" may be the closest thing to "funny" that they know.  That still doesn't make it actually humorous; it just makes their perception that it is funny in itself.

Yeah, but not funny is just not funny.

And I don't mean "not funny" in a "OMG that is not a funny thing to make a joke out of" not funny, I mean not funny just plain not funny.

And when your joke is about making fun of women, or blacks, or gays, or whatever stereotype, and it is not funny, then people who like it are generally kind of douchebags - or at least come across that way.

Since if it isn't funny, all that is left is a genuine buy into the stereotype.

Offensive humor can be damn funny, but when it ISN'T even kind of funny, what is left?

:lol: Hope you didnt spend too much time thinking about those two sentences.

Don't worry about it; the rest of us got DG's point, and if you couldn't, you couldn't.  I am sure that you have coping strategies in place to compensate for your lack of reading comprehension.

As an aside, though, I would advise you not to laugh at someone who writes better than you read.  If you had just kept your mouth shut, no one would even have known about your deficiency.

Oh, so harsh.  :lol: GFYS

FFS, get over yourself, Berkut.

You seem a bit tense spicey.

Maybe.  But you're always tense.

See, that is just it - the reality is that I am NEVER tense.

I still don't really get why, but it is a consistent observation.

Probably just because I am a bit of a douchebag myself.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

When you argue you usually appear to be all worked-up.

It's not as good a picture as the male one.  I can't even tell if she's even annoyed.

You can never tell. That is what makes them unsuited for power.

I know - or rather, enough people say so that it almost certainly has to be true. I don't see it myself.

But the reality is that I am never really worked up. If I actually get annoyed, I don't post at all.
