You quoted a lot of posts of mine in this thread voodoo.

Be a good boy and tell me what one in particular, and just how I was smacked down.

THX.

BTW you have a habit of exaggerating. Has anyone ever told you that?

"The post I quoted was your smackdown" is NOT directions Einstein. As you quoted many posts of mine.

The only post you quoted in THIS thread had nothing I said in it.

Honestly I don't believe you are so stupid you can't find that post. So go - shoo. Find post. Good Zimphire.

Your 1st post in this thread.

Grasping at straws.
Then I asked you were the smackdown was.

You replied

And you never quoted my post.

So voodoo without dodging, or acting the ass like you have been doing. Step up to the plate tough guy and show me where in said post I was smacked down.



In other words, put up or shut up. All you are doing is spreading around your unwanted verbal masturbation you are so famous for.

Lots of hot air, but no substance to back it up.

So surprise me voodoo. Back up your claims at least once in your life.

We are obviously reading two different threads, as Zimph has not been smackdowned in this thread, and what he posted happens to be true.

An intelligent chimpanzee can be trained to type the few characters that make up the word smackdown. This doesn't neccesarily make it true, seeing as you have not refuted anything he has typed.

Here I go what? You sent me a link to one of "constrictor's" absurd posts.

What is your point? What he said doesn't even COME CLOSE to describe me.

BTW what does THAT quote have to do with what you claimed you quoted from me that was a smackdown?

Sounds like to me you were just talking out your lower orifice as usual.

But that is typical fanboying.

I see constrictor still hasn't looked up the meaning of "knee jerk"

Making such statements like you did above is a knee-jerk in itself.

I think I hear your mom calling you to get off her computer.

lay into me? You have to be kidding.

If using a word incorrectly over and over again ad-nauseum like a broken record is "laying it into me" the I would HATE to see what you think doing a piss poor troll job was.

But you are right this guy is "new"

Just a insecure cowardly fanboy.

Pretty low even for you Zimp!

You have many stars and have some absurd amount of posts.

I couldn't come close to reading all of them let alone post that many and hold a job at the same time.

But of the many I have read they don't amount to a hill o' beans let alone contain any thought or intelligence.

Insecure, cowardly...come on?!!? That is a very low personal attack against someone who disagrees with you and wishes to debate.

Looks to me your the one rolling on the floor stamping his feet and screaming
for your blankey.

Definitely not a fanboy.

I was just reminiscing about high school math classes, and I came up with an interesting thought.

Let's say someone participates frequently in an activity that could be completed fairly quick under the right circumstances. Just for kicks, let's say this someone participated in said activity 23575 times over the course of about 2 years.

If we very conservatively guess that, on average, the activity takes about 20 seconds from start to finish, we can follow through with unit conversions:

23575 instances X 0.33 minutes = 7780 minutes

7778 minutes X 1hour/60 minutes = 130 hours

130 hours X 1day/24hours = about 5.4 days (wakeful days with no sleep included whatsoever)

Pretty cool, huh? By doing simple math and converting units, we find that a person who very, very frequently completes a quick activity can spend as much as a week out of every two years doing so. For many people, that could be a family vacation, or several other longer-lived activities, like exercise or getting fitted for a hearing aid.

When we relate this fun information to the topic, we find that even Iraqis could participate in such activities, and spend a surprising amount of time doing something that seems so insignificant at the time. That's freedom! Yee-haw!

Speaking of Israeli agents, here's an account of an ex-Mossad agent. (How do we know he's not lying? I don't know how to verify or disprove his story.)

He implies that some of the US foreign 'engagements' have been due to Mossad tricks.

Like Reagan's Libya bombing.

Interesting reading, if nothing else.

If you're going to cite Ostrovsky, you would do well to read his whole book, and not just what that website wants you to read.

Additionally, you would do well to remember that Ostrovsky was only in Mossad for a period less than two years: How much do you think he really knows, and how much was to get a good advance from the book publisher?
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

I ran across the page looking for something else. Just thought it would provide another perspective on the BIG PICTURE.

I didn't know anything about him til I read the page. But now (with a tip of the cap to you, vmarks) I know a tad more. You seem to know SOMETHING about almost everything, don't you?

Thanks!
