The armed forces are full of heavy drinkers and smokers though, have been for decades....

but General I can empathese somewhat with your views. Are you familiar with the straight-edge movement currently springing up amongst today's youth?

Personal choice does come into it, but so does responsibility towards others. I smoke unfortunately (stupd teenage decision I'm finding it hard to reverse, for lots of reasons I'm not going into here), but I also don't whinge when I'm not allowed to smoke in a public place like a cinema, nor do I smoke within range of children. (however how many non smokers are happy to drive their kids everywhere and give the rest of us lead poisoning?)

You people have all gone soft, SOFT I tell you.

Back when I was young we used to go for 5 mile runs before breakfast and have a cold shower every night.

Now you lazy overweight chain smoking pot heads lie around the house all day playing your x-stations and jerking off to interweb porno.

Time we bought in conscription, get you sloths out of the house and back on the parade ground.

We could start with the people here, before you make your next post do 5 pushups, thats with your knees of the ground nancy boys.

Lay of the cigs, the beer and the right arm exercise and get some moral fibre.

I am gong to check up on you and particularly on the mods. Some of those new ones are a DISGRACE to humanity.

Take that Quicksilver person he is short overweight, bald and bandy legged, he looks like a barrel with coyboys legs. I am going to get him off the couch and back on the road running 5 mile sprints, with a full pack on.

Quicksilver, get your bottom off that chair and get some exercise NOW!

Watch out the General is back.


I didn't know my grandpa had an account here?

Just kidding General...I'm still grinning after reading that post.... That's A material...


Ok, seriously now....

The thing about smoking is that it just doesn't affect the smoker, it affects those around the smoker as well. My father was an adamant smoker. It gave both my brother and my mother asthma (I was always outside or in my room mostly, so I never did get it). Second-hand smoke isn't some myth. Look, I'm all for people's rights, but when it seriously infringes on those of others (as well as the health of others), steps need to be taken...

I'm actually finding some truths in what the General has to say, albeit a bit off in other areas, but all-in-all, I like.
Having been brought up in a military family and living abroad alot in Europe, I remember my father telling my brother and I the very same things.....

I salute the General (cause he's funny). But, I will contunue to smoke and drink and STILL EASILY do more pushups, benchpress more weight, and curl more poundage than you could ever hope b/c some of us got it like that.

General, you've got a point about the three generations, but here's more food for thought.

The divorce rate for the second generation you speak of was horrible. Maybe if your generation would have concentrated more on love, you would have brought forth a better generation. This affects the new generation because half of 'em don't have friggin fathers! Good job.



As for smoking, whose generation popularized smoking? Whose generation pupularized drugs?
Whose generation is now getting blamed for the top two because of their negligence?

I hafta think about this issue some more, maybe I'll reply later or something.

You should search for a pic of that Sergeant from Full Metal Jacket (and numerous other movies)... He'd be great for your avatar! He's who I picture when I read your posts...

What the heck are you people doing??

I came here to whip you into shape, not to engage in some touchy feely psycho babble. Don't tell me that you agree with me you young nancies, get out there and do something.

You are all going to seed, nearly 50% of people in this country are overweight. Do you know what that means?

50% of people are lazy fat sloths. I see them all the time trying to buy XXX sized shirts to cover their bellies with one arm holding a shake or iceceam and the other with a novelty bar.

That means that 50% of people are sad lost wretches, without meaning . Do you know whats worse, some of those 50% are YOU. Sitting reading this on your interweb computers with one finger up your nose, while outside the real world is flowing along and you are not in it.

While you are here why not just light up another smoke, or down some more liquor just so you don't have to face your own mortality.

I want the next person who posts here to have done at least 10 pushups and walked around your block looking to do a good deed before posting.

This is not reality here, if I hadn't broken both legs you wouldn't see me, I would be out experiencing life. I expect you to be doing the same.

You only have one life, smoke it, drink it, sleep it, away if you want, or you can live it, attack it, experience it, you are all gonna die anyway its just how you want to be remembered that counts.

Laziness is a marketing tool as well you are all victims of the consumer culture. You spend money to buy modern TV's with remote contol things, so you don't even have to get up to change the channel. You eat processed food filled with chemicals so you don't have to even chew, you drive in expensive polluting cars so you hardly have to move.

Welcome to the land of the slugs, .... don't be one, Gazrok, I know that you are unfit, get off your a$s and go for a run.

Who fixed this machine to turn ass into bottom? This is part of what is wrong in this land, a$s is a great american word, USE IT and be proud, not some effeminate pro homo word like bottom.

Admin I demand that you stop changing my words from strong words with meaning to weak words immediatly.

I am proud enough to stand up and say a$s without having to resort to fakery.

I want to be a mod so that I can tidy all this crap up and whip you sloths into shape. please make me one immedialty.

GeneralDilemma is actually a limpwristed fag full of bluster and bravado, who couldn't go two rounds with Pocket.

But he is fun, in a Jim Nabors / Gomer Pyle kind of way, and deserves all the attention he can muster, judging from how he got that other wimp TC to sit up and take notice.



Me, I'll have a decent Cuban any day, and I don't need to drill holes in books to bring them in.

And while I'm at it, there, mister stars and bars boy, tomorrow for lunch I'm going to Burger King. That's right General, the King outranks your nonsense. I'm gonna eat ten dollars worth of gut bombs on the way back to the plant, tossing the wrappers out the window while driving around 85mph with my knees while holding a coke in one hand and a fistfull of fries in another. And there ain't one darned thing you can do about it, you know why? Because within a few short inches away from my fat arse is a S&W model 686 .357 magnum. How's that for push ups and a 5 mile jog, huh? Why run when ya gotta gun?!? What kind of moronic embiciles run when they have perfectly good Hummers to get them around the battlefield, huh? Sheesh, think about it!

It figures you'd want a Cuban, M-A, probably a little Cuban boy, you commie pinko! I'll bet you and Da Gen. have alot in common; macho men in the light of day but when the sun goes down, ya'll are the Village People!

What makes anyone think they have the right to sue because they put a hot cup of coffee between their legs?

As far as smoking is concerned, do what you want with your body but don't bring that stinking sh!t near me! I chose not to smoke because I want to stay healthy. I don't need some smoker exercising the right of choice interfering with mine. I don't want to pay for your health care either so the tax should be cranked right up to cover your costs too.
