Peace, you are a worthless piece of shit, and a liar to boot.

The BBQ Pit
41

Wow! I’ve been here for only a month I got my own thread. Not “my own thread” by a thread started by my opponent and dedicated to me. With my name/my handle mentioned almost in every post. I’m flattered. I like to answer people’s questions, I like to learn from others. What I do not understand is a hostility directed toward me because the facts I give are not liked.
Anyway, a couple words about me (keeping in mind the relative value of all info on this MB): I am male, with uncrushed balls, occasionally use (Good Lord!). From now on, not to confuse Major, I’ll use (Good Fuck!). I might have said that I have a Ph.D., or/and an M.D., and /or a D.D.S., etc., but how relevant it would be here? Let’s say that I know what I am talking about. As Major would put it, trust me.

I feel sorry for not answering the OP at once, I started to play word games, etc., although I felt that I possibly knew what he was interested in. And I am sorry I asked Major for the prove of his imaginary number. (BTW, he informed me that ** my “cite” for my numbers has been in the pit with your name on it for about a week.**. The OP was asked only four days ago, on 11/30/00 and there is no cite, of course.

He could not find the confirmation simply because it does not exist. I seriously doubt that any numbers, expressed as force in weight/area numbers, could be found. I know of a few exotic numbers, which somebody curious obtained many years ago. Nobody ever confirmed or denied them; they were about suffocation, not crushing injury. Nobody needs such numbers, they are irrelevant and impractical. Confabulating Major may draw them from thin air and then tell us about his friends “strapping cadavers onto car seats”. Only a nut (pun intended) would study crushing injury of the testicles. The next “logical” thing would be to study the crushing injury of the ovaries. Even if either organ were crushed completely, life and even fertility would not be threatened. There are descriptions (not studies) of crushing injuries of the lungs, heart, brain, but not the testicles. The latter are rarely injured (not “crushed”) in severe MVAs, falls from heights or mine disasters. Actually, a focal hemorrhage is a rarity.

Interested SDopers may try to find research(?) or descriptions of crushing testicular or soft tissue injuries. Really interested males can test their own testicles by squeezing them. Even minor pressure is exquisitely painful, but an actual injury requires about the same pressure as a similar in consistency/structure organ would. Another experiment one can do is to press your own neck. Grab a big screwdriver or a tennis racket or a football first. Then apply much less pressure to your neck, trying to compress the carotid arteries. You will feel congestion (from compressing superficial veins) and then lightheadedness. Once I read that in a cadaver it takes 25-30 lbs of pressure to completely compress both carotids. So, it ain’t much. Such pressure, applied to the testicle, would be very painful and will, probably, cause a hemorrahage.

The last, controlled experiment one can do, is to buy a pound of beef or chicken liver and try to “crush” it with weights. Publish the results here. A human liver would be very close in consistency and texture. In real live it would be harder, as the liver is encapsulated and protected by the rib cage. Finally, consider this: a spleen rupture infrequently occurs in falls from the second-third-story level. The spleen is a more vulnerable to injury than liver and most other organs. An engineer can calculate the approximate force with which 175-lbs. roofer hits the ground falling from 20’.

I did not answer some of the asked or implied question deliberately. I will in future posts, if you can’t find the answer yourselves and/or if there is still an interest.

42

Collunsbury, I was referring to Peace/Major Foolgud 's arguement over nothing.

How could I find fault with someopne who is down with the OPP. (yeah you know me)?

43

Or, instead of dissecting every request for information, the dates of same, general disposition, the angle of my shadow, and how many Cheerios fell into your bowl this morning, you could actually read Major Feelgud’s admission that he made the number up about 10 posts above:

Also, Private Feelgud, what is your obsession with figuring out the sex of the SDMB members? Its a strawman argument just waiting to be blown away.

44

Kudos to Connor who got it right!

The sex of peace immaterial as I previously said.

The sex of Mandelstam is immaterial also. I just thought it interesting he edited his posts and changed himself into a woman partway through.

45

Major, it will be said again. You can’t edit your posts. Only moderators have that ability, and even when they do, there is an edit “stamp” on the bottom of posts where this has occurred.

Find another crusade. This grail is empty.

46

Now, come on, shouldn’t that be “I take offense at your telling the world…” The object of the verb “take offense” is “telling,” and therefore it requires the adjective form “your” not the pronoun “you.”

First time I visited the Pit. Hey, it’s fun down here. Sorry for the late post, but, as I said, I just got here.

Incidentally, it was mentioned in the GQ that the testicles is mostly liquid. I have Gray’s in front of me, and a lot of structure is described. It’s “invested by three tunics,” whatever they are.

47

Barbie, I always liked you, I’ll try to sort out the thigs for you.

First of all, you realize, of course, that in general, there is no connectin between the structure of an organ and its suceptability to an injury. E.g., the bones are the strongest, but they are broken all the time.
As far as the testicle (testis): It consists of yards of tiny seminiferous tubules, which make sperm (spermatozoa) and some cells “in-between” which make testosteron. You can picture it like a long thread; instead of being orderly spooled, it’s haphazardly tangled. There is nothing liguid there (like inside blood vessels, for instance), or even “jelatinous” (like in jelly-fish). I am having trouble finding the exact comparison due to the uniquiness of this tangle. The “feel” is probably of medium-done hamburger.
As far as “tunics”: since my early days I remember that testicles are “champions” of the body, they have eight membraines. It also depends on how they are counted: some anatomists include scrotal skin as the outermost membrain, then the inner lining of the scrotum, etc. Others say that skin belongs to the scrotum, not the testicle(s), and so does the scrotal inner lining. In any case, on its way from the abdomen the testicles take with them parts of the abdominal lining and the result is that they appear to be wrapped in more membranes, than any other organ. It’s another factoid, totally irrelevant to anything discussed.
What I personally find more interesting is this:
The temperature inside the testicles is slightly less than the “core” body temperature. I do not like to ask “why” in relation to nature, there is no reason (other than to please women and make men proud in this case), but what could be nature’s “rational”? To make the sperm cooler so it does not suffer during its long travels? But it leaves the body only in a formal way, it finds itself inside warm cozy vagina right away. Who knows?

48

Peace, I want to stress that I have done nothing like your level of research into the cojones (although, thanks to Major Feelgud, I now own a very fine pair myself).

I will venture to say, though, that I think the reason the testicles are cool is to provide special insulation for sperm (which are highly vulnerable to temperature change) and also to facilitate the production of sperm. I know that when a couple is trying to have a baby, the man is told to wear loose underwear so as keep the testicular region as cool and unconstrained as possible. Also, as I understand it, the vagina–while wonderfully cozy from the penis’s point of view–is actually a very hostile environment for spermatozoa. Sperm are fighting a Darwinian battle the likes of which makes salmon’s swimming look like a walk in the rain. But see Woody Allen on this point, as he does a much better job than I possibly could!

49

Mandelstam is right. Body temperature is too hot for sperm production, that’s why they’re dangled outside the body. It’s nature’s joke (or that God is really a man) that these things are so sensitive to a blow or a kick. Everything vital we have is enclosed in bone (i.e. the ribs and the skull). I also remember in school that a romantic dip in the hot tub prior to sex is not a good way to make babies.

The vagina is indeed incredible hostile to sperm. Everyone who has made it here has won the lottery once already.

I don’t remember much about Woody Allen, but I can remember the beginning sequence to Looks Who’s Talking where it seems like it’s a party, but the reality is that one guy makes it and everybody else dies.

Since I’m too lazy to start my own thread I’m going to use this one to bitch.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying “he’s a whiney misbegotten cretin challenged by an overwhelming and completely unreasonable endowment of utterly un-self-conscious hypocrisy maintained through either stupidity or pure idiocy. His nasty little attempts at running around the mods and slipping in sly yet moronic and baseless insults reveal an impoverished and shrivelled personality desperately in need of hours electroshock therapy. He is, in short, a stupid hypocritical crybaby and idjit who should fuck off.” I’m not saying I disagree, I just wouldn’t say it.
What I would say however is that peace is an arrogant galah with about enough knowledge to be annoying without even managing to be dangerous. (Yet).
He feels compelled to question the statements of others without any evidence to the contrary, and often when, by his own admission, he hasn’t understood the statement and can’t even be bothered finding a dictionary to find the common usage of words. For someone so hell bent on forcing references out of others he displays an incredible lack of ability or desire to do so with his own statements. His arguments are circuitous at best, and frequently appear to be nothing more than fabrications and assertions. He is too arrogant, ill-mannered or stupid concede a point or in any other way acknowledge that his points have no basis aside from his own opinion. He has displayed an aggressive tendency to make poorly veiled attempts to belittle anyone who disagrees with his opinion at any time. When faced with a challenge to one of his own more ridiculous statements he conveniently ignores the question and makes no attempt to either substantiate, clarify or remove the point. This is probably the most frustrating part of his behaviour and makes the discussion of any point almost impossible without it degenerating into a childish “Did too” /”Did not” shouting match. In addition he has on several different posts read meaning into statements when there seemed no reasonable way that any could be found.
In his defence he is one of the best people I have ever seen at executing the trick of going from complete disagreement to wholehearted agreement on a subject by means of a serious of tiny steps. Pity this doesn’t work real well on message boards where your original ludricous statements are easily re-posted.

My Top Ten list of Peace’s Howlers. Feel free to add your own:

(1) No social behaviour in animals is inherited (references provided – 0)
(2) No species ever loses a trait. (references provided – 0)
(3) Charles Darwin stated that non-use of a trait will not lead to its disappearance. (references provided – 0)
(4) According to current evolutionary theory modern humans have no other apes as ancestors, or any phylum of worm. (references provided – 0)
(5) If a subgroup within a species looses it’s tail it becomes separate species. (references provided – 0)
(6) It is difficult if not impossible to provide a reference for the Earth being round or orbiting the sun. (My personal favourite) (references provided – 0 obviously)
(7) There exists somewhere a dictionary with a definition of ancestor that, while remaining applicable to canines, does not mean a forebear or individual in a direct line of birth. (references provided – 0)
(8) All dogs will grow to a genetically predetermined size, regardless of diet or nutrition. (references provided – 0)
(9) As soon as a sedentary species begins to swim it becomes another species. (references provided – 0)
(10) He is completely unaware of the existence of any tailless breeds of dog or cat. (references provided – 0 of course)

And all statements made, not simply off the cuff but in direct contradiction to the statements made by others.

You might have but you didn’t. Do you actually claim any of those qualifications? It’s an amusing enough trick. You imply something without ever having to say it. I notice you left your profile blank. What sort of qualifications are you claiming. You seem moderately educated, yet inarticulate in the extreme, borderline illiterate and with an amazing inability to understand common, everyday words and phrases You have no demonstrated ability to use a spell checker, or even an encyclopaedia or dictionary. You have no skills appropriate for social interaction in any but the most ignorant society that I have seen demonstrated and lack both manners and tact.
Where you coming from?

In short Peace, I fear you are suffering from delusions of adequacy.

How’d I do for a first timer folks?

51

And you might say you are a fraud and a scaremonger attempting to gain a feeling of importance in your pathetic life by exacerbating the fears of others already in a stressful situation. This really takes the cake.

Does anyone know if it is an offence in the US to impersonate an MD and offer medical advice?
Peace if you aren’t an MD then you are one of the biggest shitheads I have ever had the displeasure of being associated with. If you are an MD you are apparently sloppy and heartless to the extreme.

My sympathies.

Well, have you read this thread?:

Ah yes, so very familiar.

This seems to be one of this themes (see my thread with him).

Hello Gaspode. Good to see another poster from oz (use of the word “galah” is a giveaway). I have had only one of these strange exchanges with peace. This statement here caught my eye:

I don’t know where he’s coming from, but I doubt it’s worth the detour.

54

judging from this excerpt, he’s from Dagobah:

“In order to deal with it, I have to assume that we are talking indeed about the uterus. If a doctor, a GP at that (nothing against your brethren, Dr. Paprica, just limited experience is implied here), could diagnose something on external examination, something very wrong must be with the uterus or with the doctor, or with…
Normally, uterus cannot be palpated (felt with examining hand), let alone a diagnosis can be made. Retroflexion is not rare and is not dangerous. But it cannot be diagnosed like it was, if it was.”

still scratching my head.

Dear Sirs & Madams:

The nature of this place is such that you do not even know if I am a human being or a computer. Therefore, once again, you have to rely on the info I provide, or…
If the mods are concerned with legal issues, they may consult their lawyers. I never claimed to be an American M.D. Licensing doctors is relegated to individual states. I do not think that any state has the jurisdiction over this site. Anyone is free to read my posts or to ignore them.
I always understood that the purpose of SDMB is to provide space for posts. The idea behind it is to serve as an entertainment medium. That is how I have used SDMB and how I intend to use them in the future. I live in a big city and all I have to do to pick up a fight is to go to the nearest public place. If you want to fight here, you must do it on my terms. As I reminded you above, anyone can read or ignore these posts, including me. In other words, if I choose not to fight, there is absolutely nothing you can do.

English is my second language and I may, inadvertently, misexpress myself. I am not alone (ESL) here. If you believe that I am a human being, you have to accept my good intentions: I never offend anyone on purpose. If I’d gotten thrills out of personal insults, I would have done so in person. More fun. My humor could occasionally be hurtful, especially for people without the sense of humor.

In general, I try to provide references for cute facts, etc. I do not provide references for my own statements, of course. For instance, I may say: “On average, college professors are smarter than actors”. I am sure that nobody ever studied these two groups for “smartness” (by studying their IQ or having them to solve crossword puzzles). This is my own thought, like: “My wife is beautiful”. I have no references. You may argue with me or you may ignore me and skip to the next post.

I do not provide references for obvious or self-explanatory things, because I think it is a waste. If I say that the Earth is round, I expect everyone know that, although the refs can be found, of course. Similarly, if I say that “No social behavior in animals is inherited”, I say it matter-of-factly, because I expect the person who knows that only genetic traits are transmitted, to know that social behavior is learned, not genetic.

I am willing to comment on other nine yards, hm-hm, points of Mr. Gaspode and others, but only if they expressly let me know that they are interested. Not because of my arrogance, but for purely egotistic reasons: I may get more fun reading other people posts. For the third time: anyone can read the posts or anyone can skip them. So, before I proceed to type, I’d like to make sure that I have readers.

I’m at a disadvantage as the only thread I’ve read with peace in it seems to be the aformentioned testicle thread. I don’t know what you kids are thinking, but I have to go with peace on that one.

Nothing is as irritating as “Uh, just trust me. I’m not going to tell you my evidence.” That’s the same answer I got from a guy when I asked him “How do you know your dogs are also infested with a parasite that no one but you can see?”

After huffing and puffing, it seems that Feelgud’s answer is “I took anatomy and it was an edcuated guess.” Why not just say that to begin with? It’s a bit shaky but it’s easier to deal with than, “You don’t want to know.”

Generally, I do want to know, that’s why I ask. I’d bet that’s why peace asked, too. Nothing wrong with that.

57

No, and No!
Clang!
Next.

DavisMcdavis
I’m so sorry you’ve missed Piece’s rambles. They’re so amusing if you don’t get involved. I’ve provided links to several of them, and ** Collounsbury** has provided a particularly fine example. I suggest you go have a look.

“Nothing is as irritating as “Uh, just trust me. I’m not going to tell you my evidence.” That’s the same answer I got from a guy when I asked him “How do you know your dogs are also infested with a parasite that no one but you can see?” “

Or something like say…

My points are so unoriginal, that it is hard to find references. (Sorry to repeat myself, but it is hard to prove that the Earth is rotating around the Sun and is round)
or
** Similarly, if I say that “No social behavior in animals is inherited”, I say it matter-of-factly, because I expect the person who knows that only genetic traits are transmitted, to know that social behavior is learned, not genetic. **
or
Again, this is so common, that I can’t confirm it with references. I just know that. Sorry

Yeah that pisses me off no end.

But my new favourite Piece howler is:

** This post was typed in M$word, with all its editors and chech speller, copied and pasted. Takes a few more secs and a few more clicks, but looks nicer.**
Peace.
As to whether you are a human being or a computer. You are neither. Computers operate with more internal logic and human beings with more respect for other people

No one else in the general message boards, myself included, is looking for a fight, only aggressive little Trolls with insecurities enjoy fighting. If you wish to fight you have finally found the correct forum. Keep it here. By the looks of things there are more than enough people to oblige.

You never offend anyone on purpose? Good, then follow the advice those of who speak English as a first language so as not to cause offence. You have been informed now that your actions cause offence, and how to modify them. If you continue you are doing so on purpose.

“If I’d gotten thrills out of personal insults I would have done so in purpose.” I doubt it. Your every word and manner speaks of an insecure and inferior person, physically and intellectually, in need of constant reinforcement and external justification for his pathetic existence. You wouldn’t behave like this in the real world because you are a coward, and in no way prepared to deal with for the consequences of your actions either physically or emotionally.

If English isn’t your first language swallow your pride, go to GQ and ask for a reference to an on-line dictionary. Look up the definition of the words being used and comprehend before shooting your fat mouth off. Ignorance of the language in use is not a defence for anti-social behaviour, it simply makes you objectionable. If you don’t understand what is under discussion have some manners and keep your opinions to yourself. In fact you do the opposite. In GQ, which is designed to present facts to answer questions, you have so far had the audacity to correct people on topics ranging from alcohol production through medicine, animal breeding and law. What are you, the world expert on everything? If you have an opinion keep it for IMHO or one of the other boards (preferably keep it inside the empty shell of your oversized head). Don’t take it to GQ or GD without bringing facts to back it up. In short ‘Make sure brain is engaged before activating mouth.’

“I do not provide references for my own statements of course” Ain’t that the truth… That’s the whole problem you obnoxious cretin.
Yet again I think you have used the wrong word.
I suspect what you were trying to say without bothering to use a dictionary is ‘I do not provide references for my own opinions.’ Even you have on occasion provided references for your statements, though all too rarely.
There is no obligation to justify your opinions, but I can’t think of one society on Earth where it would be considered anything less than bad manners to state an opinion as fact in direct contradiction to someone’s factually based statement. Go see our discussion in GD you Philistine and learn how to phrase your opinions delicately so you don’t need to back them up. You have been informed now that your behaviour causes offence, there is no longer any excuse.

Which brings me to the next point. English isn’t your first language. So tell me what is your cultural background? What society on this planet considers behaviour like yours to be acceptable. I’m sure someone around here will have experience enough of whatever culture you claim as to be able to state that you are in fact a clod even at home. You’re a real credit to your people Mister Ambassador.
Of course even if your behaviour is acceptable in whatever hole you crawled out of it does not justify continuing the same behaviour in a multi-ethnic community like this one where you are giving offence. How many people telling you the same things will it take before you are willing to accept that your behaviour is obnoxious, offensive and inappropriate on many SD fora?

‘I do not provide references for self-explanatory things’
And no one asks them. I don’t think anyone believes the statements made in my howlers list above are self-explanatory. If they were self-explanatory they wouldn’t need explanation would they Doctor. For crying out loud get an English dictionary. People ask questions because a statement is far from self-explanatory, not to piss you off. Follow your own advice.

Again you say no social behaviour is inherited, despite that fact that I have provided examples of where it obviously is, and backed it up with a reference to your own apparent idol, Charlie Darwin. You are not just displaying ignorance and stupidity, Piece, but also penchant for being an obstinant, thickheaded boor.

Oh yes and your netiquette is non-existent.

No I’m not particularly interested in any more drivel from you. There are people like you all over the world. Being essentially friendless the only personality reinforcement you get is justifying your objectionable behaviour and pathetic existence to others. Look around Piece, has anyone else been corrected for misapplication of facts and bad manners on virtually every thread they’ve been on? For once accept that everyone isn’t lying: You are offensive. You are misusing the fora and your behaviour could stand improvement. The truly sad part is that you seem to have some intelligence under that shallow opinionated exterior and could probably contribute something more enjoyable to these fora than your Death Certificate if only you could modify your language so your opinions don’t cause offence to all and sundry.
I usually refrain form this sort of language but,

Peace,

Get a clue or fuck off.

I really shouldn’t get involved here.

But I don’t think that Peace is worthless.
I also don’t think that Peace is a liar.

Neither do I Doctor. I believe he could be a halfway decent human being if he could learn some manners and make a little effort to overcome the difficulties caused by being a non-English speaker. But so far I’ve seen no evidence that he is willing to do either. Pride undoubtedly has a lot to do with that, but none of it excuses his behaviour
Guilty of distorting the truth - yes. Guilty of delibertely misleading people to inflate their opinion of him? - yes. Guilty of making false statements unintentionally? - Undoubtedly. But I’ve seen no evidence of his being a liar.
All my other statements stand as written.
