    I'm confused about the post below. The voting system seems somehow important to the voter. But all he has done is post a link. Before I cast my vote, what exactly am I meant to be voting for? Am I meant to read the linked page and vote on that, or am I meant to vote onnthe posters acumen, skill and judgement in the way that he has made the link?

    If you read a post and feel that you have found a compatriate - a person with good and true vision of the world someone who represents truth, honor and the [Country of Origin Here]an way, then give them a five. If you read a post and feel like picking up a large metal object and beating that person in the face with it until they are bloody and lifeless - then give them a one.

      I rarely vote. What is the point anyway? Henize (I wonder why Red Stateler/Espeir hasn't picked up on the fact that it's a girl's name) has the vocabulary of a typical thug. "Blah blah blah. If yuo don't agre than you are an evil fuckker!" Clearly, such people thrive in getting 1s, because in their mind they are #1.

      That is just stupid and is only intinded as an insult. Your name is barely pronounceable. Henize is my fucking last name so how can it be a girl's name? Last names are not reserved for girls you fucking peice of shit! As far as the question of me ever fighting, the answer is yes. I dont think you would want to fight me because I would just kill you. Why would I want to fight fare with my fists and feet when there is the possibility of me getting hurt or killed. I take fights as life and death situations and if you were to attack me you would be a gonner and that is all there is to it. I hate %99 people in the soapbox and I hope you all die.

              The fact Jorgen recently appeared in the world championships of his chosen martial art, is ranked in the dan level and is proficient (more than) with and without weapons, I'm sure you would be fucked up beyond all recognition before you could comprehend it.

                A 5 for a well presented argument, even if one does not agree, is also appropriate. A 1 for personal attacks, gratuitous vulgarity,or uncommon stupidity also seems a valid response.

                        Nah, there's a time and place for everything. When I do let the inner barbarian out, I usually make sure nobody gets hurt. That's one way to keep the barbarian locked up, and keeping my ass out of jail! :)

                          I think his point with the "why would i want to fight fare_[sic]_" comment was that, should a fight look likely, he'd shoot his opponent-to-be in the back. Pre-emptive, see... :rolleyes:

                                  I think his point with the "why would i want to fight fare_[sic]_" comment was that, should a fight look likely, he'd shoot his opponent-to-be in the back. Pre-emptive, see... :rolleyes:

                                  The funny thing is that my question "Have you ever been in a fight" was interpreted as if I was asking for a fight. Granted, I did try to provoke him, but my intention was not to have a fight with him or anyone else. I'm beginning to think that people are losing the ability to comprehend the written word. Is the fist this age's Esperanto? :~

                                    I wouldn't hit anyone unless I'd really had to. Nobody excluded. :)

                                      The fact Jorgen recently appeared in the world championships of his chosen martial art, is ranked in the dan level and is proficient (more than) with and without weapons, I'm sure you would be fucked up beyond all recognition before you could comprehend it.

                                      To be fair, I'm not dan graded yet. If my back doesn't stop me (damn nerve ends in my lower back keeps messing with me), I've a feeling that my sensei will tell me to practice for the grading test in March maybe.

                                        Losing? Written? Naw, you got it all wrong. Most people don't even comprehend spoken words at all well. Factor out the hesitant comprehension of their own words, and you don't have much beyond very simple pattern matching associated with well-learned reflexes. And i'm not excluding myself here either... :~

                                          You seem to at least make an effort. :) (Sometimes you leave me quite baffled with your posts - not sure what to make of it. But I'm guessing that's the point ;))
