Listen up Newb. There ain't a swinging dick on this board I haven't called a Know-it-all Flatlander. You're the only one who has ever got his nose out of joint over it. That ought to tell you something. Maybe not. You got issues. You're only 25 and have yet to accomplish anything worth talking about and yet you spout off like your 60 yrs old and saved the damn world. You drove a car at 180 mph. Big deal. I drove an M-48 ambulance at 50 mph. Guess who's ride was more exciting? You've got a lot to learn yet about life yet, young fella. If your smart, maybe you'll pay attention to folks around here, If not, I suspect you'll be another 90 day wonder. Personally I wouldn't give the powder to blow you to hell. Kids like you just make me want to puke. To think there are kids your age dying for your country, while you're driving fast cars, and going to college, probably on daddy's dime. You can feel insulted now.
Doc.
Well, considering my brother is one of those "kids" who took a bullet for our country in Iraq, and I myself am going into the JAG Corps after I graduate this year, you're damn right I'll be offended. Fuck you for presuming I'm some insolent child who takes the rights and freedoms of this country for granted by living some flashy lifestyle of fast cars, blowing my father's money. My parents instilled in both my brother and I the virtues of hard work, respect, decency, dedication, etc. They also instilled in us self-respect. Which is why I'm not sitting by taking this crap from you.
My parents did pay for my undergraduate education. And you know what I did to show my appreciation and respect. I busted my ass for 4 years, got excellent grades, and earned my acceptance into an excellent law school. I didn't waste it away drinking, doing drugs, dropping out, skipping class, etc. I'm paying for law school. And guess what, I'm still busting my ass, working hard. Do I want a medal for this? NO. I want to continue to show my appreciation to my parents by continuing to work hard, to be successful in my future endeavors.
I haven't once spouted off like I've accomplished anything great with my life. I said that I raced cars. I never claimed that this in some way made me an expert on all things in life. That it made me infinitely wise. It was something that I did, and was good at. That's it. I haven't once stated that I have saved the world, or that I have learned everything I'll ever need to learn. I know I have a lot to learn, from a lot of people, and I intend to learn a lot. I know I have not saved the world, but I hope that with my service to my country after I graduate, I'll be able to at least do my small part in saving the rights and freedoms of my country, and those who live in it.
You had the opportunity to simply post up and say "Kid, I was being sarcastic, get over it." And I would have done that, and apologized to you for taking what you said out of context, But you chose not to do this. You chose to be the jerk that everyone in this thread tried to tell me you were not. Congratulations on proving me right. You claim I'm making all of these presumptions, when in fact you are the one presuming to know everything about me, and are being proven wrong each and every time.
And don't worry, I'm not about to run away from this community because of one person like you. There are many other people on here who make it an enjoyable place to be, and hopefully I'll get to herf it up with them in the future, and get to know them even better.
