In this case it makes sense. Reading Red Fury’s posts you might just an image of a twenty-something idealistic college/grad student. Instead he’s an older guy who should have learned years ago that the world isn’t as simple as he’d like it to be.

Plus, he seems to want us to know he has a nice home with a hottub. I wonder now if he has someone to clean it and mow the lawn.
Looked like pretty good digs. Kind of how Stalin lived. Raging against the priveledged while wearing sunglasses made by child labor in 3rd world countries.

FTR, I don’t know what I’m catching flak about WRT the link to the pic. I didn’t post it, I didn’t link to it, and I wasn’t defending it. I was pointing out it was posted here by him, rather than some outside link to a post.
Whatever commentary was offered, or any debate on the appropriateness, isn’t my concern. If I’ve offended anyone, well, what do you expect? I’m late to the cross-burning, so can’t explain in more detail. :rolleyes:

I wasn’t giving you flack. I just think he could have kept the personal crap out of it.
I’m soooo glad I didn’t post that pic of myself by the pool with the poolboy feeding me grapes.

I’m not really interested in weighing in on the OP. Most times, a post by Ryan_Liam is best ignored.
But Jesus, duffer, you’re being an idiot here.
How the fuck do you know it’s his pool/hot-tub? The only people assuming it’s his are the moron OP and you.
I have a photo showing me in a large pool. I have a photo showing me standing in front of a large country estate house. I think i have a photo somewhere showing me on the deck a 60-foot boat. I even have a photo of me standing on the front portico of Graceland.
And you know what all these photos have in common? They were taken on vacation. And i don’t own a large pool, a country estate, a 60-foot boat, or Graceland. The inference you draw from that one photo is idiotic, even by your own usually high standards for idiocy.

So Redfury and all the other motherfuckers who call me ‘Armchair Liam’ how about,
You go to Iraq
Join the barefoot peasants in the revolution
Bring down the American empire.
Because that’s what it all sums up too. You’re calling me a fucking coward just because like you cunts, I don’t necessarily have to go out and experience everything in order to voice an opinion on a certain subject.
[/QUOTE]
I don’t necessarily agree with the content of the OP, or the cheap shot at another poster’s appearance, but I find this argument kind of impressive. I’ve never seen any other conservatives use this response and I find it effective here. Maybe it’s the undercurrent of unleashed frustration, like a dam that’s broken from having to hold back too much water, or maybe it’s the oddly compelling use of linebreaks. In fact, it’s almost a haiku; it just needs some adjustment:
You go to Iraq
Join the revolucion
Bring down the empire
Would I could argue with such concision and elegance.

Gutless coward and a bigoted demagogue, Ryan. That’s all you are, a waste of sperm.
I not only have the “courage” to post my picture on the SDMB, but if you’d like to meet IRL, just e-mail me. I’ll give all the particulars and might even pay for your plane ride. One way. How or if you get back is no business of mine.
[/QUOTE]
Wow! Another macho threat-in-(transparent)-disguise from RedFury.
You’re such a he-man, Red! Why don’t you just hop on a plane and come kick all our asses here? Think of the time it would save.
You recently implied a threat (while denying it at the same time) against both Shodan and me, and now you want to ‘meet’ Ryan…and you suggest that he would be unable to return afterward.
What a badass you are!
Why, I quail at the mere sight of your fearsome screen name…though I suppose it’s better from your point of view than the more appropriate MindlessFury or ImpotentFury might be.
I swear, it’s hard to believe you’re not some idealistic and hotheaded seventeen year old! Grow the fuck up and knock it off with the badass act! You’re not scaring anyone and you just look like a bigger horse’s ass than you normally do.
[QUOTE=Ryan_Liam]
being called an ‘armchair quarterback’ by a 50 something year old geezer who’s picture on(MPSIMS shows him in a swimming pool he probably owns) telling me, who is 21, supports his brother to school, works a 45 hour week, because of my opinions, to give it ALL up, go to Iraq, fight on the frontlines in order to support my ‘neo con’ buddies.
[/QUOTE]
This could possibly be the most ineffective, whining pitting I’ve ever seen.
Just to point out the obvious, what’s wrong with him being a 50 something year old, and just how does the hypothetical ownership of a pool reflect on someone?
Also, just where does being 21 and working a 45 hour week become relevant in this?
Finally, your logic seems a bit fucked up. If Redfury doesn’t support the war in Iraq, then he appears to be fully backing up his beliefs by…ooh…not going to Iraq. Whereas if you do support the military occupation of the country, then surely the conscionable course of action is to take part in it?
Can’t say I’ve got any axe to grind with regard to RedFury, but as for Ryan_Liam and Der Trihs … those two deserve each other. Personally, I think they should settle their differences Thunderdome style. (Provided the Thunderdome is soundproofed. Or at least a very long way away from me.)

That’s laughable, me demagogue? Where you’re raging against the keyboard whenever someone actually supports an idea or opinion to end the war, where’s the Redfury at the any major anti war rallies? Etc etc. That’s what I’m calling you up on, you’re a fucking hypocrite.
What decorum? At every opportunity he has been callng me a coward and a liar on a thread in which you’re supposed to give your opinion about the war.
My pictures are in his thread :rolleyes:
It just shows how he’s putting his ass out on the line to support the end of the war in Iraq.
Just pointing out that whilst he’s living comfortably, not supporting his ‘ideals’ he expects someone who opposes them, to do a complete 180 on their lives and head off to Iraq, to support my ideas, however he won’t even support his.
So because he doesn’t support the Iraq war he gets to do fuck all?
Hypocrisy on it’s highest level, basically what you’re saying is in order for anyone to have a reasonable, different opinion/debate regarding Iraq, everyone who in the least bit supports the war should go and fight it. I got two words for you, Fuck off.
It’s an annoying insult to females and their eminently nibblable girly parts to use “cunt” as a term of approbation. Kindly find another epithet?
[/QUOTE]
You may be in for shock if you ever come to UK/Ireland or Australia. We cunts use it quite a bit for a kinds of reasons. Most places you go you’ll hear some cunt calling their friend, car, computer, enemy, whatever a cunt. We use the cunting word all the time. Probably the way it’s used least is against women as a very strong insult. It is used however in that way as something they are actually cunts.
Or in other words. Get over it. It’s a international board. It’s used way more and in other ways than the US.

Screw me sideways, you really are a bit dim, aren’t you?
You seem to believe that military action was required in Iraq.
If someone believes that military action is called for, then really they should consider volunteering to assist . Fair enough to think something is worth people dying for, rather more morally dubious though to it’s only worth other people dying for.
Redfury seems to believe that military action was not called for.
Could you please consider that if someone is opposed to military action, telling them they should fight for their beliefs is a little bit non-sensical. If you think one war is wrong, it’s unlike that two wars will be right.

Normally I’d be hurt, but due to the terrible pressure you must be under having to work 45 hours a week, I’ll just put that down to fatigue and stress making you lash out.

This post reaches a new depth of stupidity even for you, duffer. Care to retract it before we rip you to shreds for it?
