Wasn't he???

You don't become the Fuhrer by sitting on your a$$.

And yes...I filter out as much propoganda as possible at my University. I don't even disagree with you Dudeman...Malcom X was a bad person. I just see tragedy in the fact that he had his heart changed for peace and was murdered for it. I honestly think that one fact speaks volumes about militant racists like the Nation of Islam.

You do understand that they choose to make it a Black Universtiy right??? Of course, it is paridoxially racist in the most...but remember...anything whites do thats exclusive is horribly racist....anything ANY other group does thats exclusive is "their right."

I hate this world...Everyone else is just jealous that anglo-europeans created nearly 99.9999% of the modern world. Deal with it...I mean..it's not like Africa was doing a damn thing in 1492.

don't forget that asians are stereotypically known for their smart brains , and don't forget the greeks (they're still pale skin though), they invented the math.

and without the asians, we won't be flying into orbite today because the rockets were first invented by the chinese and the euros picked it up from there.

Re: Malcolm X or Martin Luther King JR?

i agree with you there spectre,

and asians are not actually renowned for smart brains, it is the different kind ofthinking.

europeans have always been practical scientists whereas the asian or rather chinese have been known for their exploritory, if you think of it it explains spectres point.

whilst the chinese explored new ideas and kept their same way of life because they had not solved the small details to make everything easier, the europeans were solving the small things and invading countries to get more things, man power etc etc... so they pickedup exploritory technoilogy also.

not saying i agree with spectres point on that issue totally... but the western world themost developed was white based...

just interesting when you think about it.

If certain people continue to destroy good threads this way, can we also remove them from this forum?

I don't know about others, but I hate seeing a good debate being locked up and/or removed because people can not be professional in a debate but instead turned to insults and pettiness.

Exactly Wolf, and that's why a certain offending member will not be gracing TG forums anymore. ... 'nuff said.....


....carry on....

A certain member??? You mean Sean/Spectre/Hollywood. He is a good person but grew to hate what TG has become. Besides...if you don't play exactly by the "rules" around here...you get branded a troublemaker and silenced...offed...banned.

If your okay with that... then fine...but sometimes it's kinda hard to digest gameplay here with a bunch of civilian posers who act "military" when they never even served or have a clue what the real world is about. Examples of the "leader" TKing people on a mission if they don't EXACTLY follow orders come to mind.

So basically...he doesn't give a damn anymore...just like VP and Eternal at one point...thats where he stands.

-guess who

That's his choice. Those who enjoy, and love what Tactical Gamer has become are quite fine with the setup here.

Yup. "Rules" are one thing set up here that help ensure that Tactical Gamer remains a mature gaming and social environment. If you can't abide by the "rules", then maybe you just won't fit in here.

Actually, I'm not fine with removing anyone, but there is a line, and it's been drawn in the sand for a reason.

There is no requirement at Tactical Gamer for members to be veterans. God Bless those who have served, their sacrifice is greatly appreciated ! That said, being a veteran has nothing to do with "having a clue what the real world is about"

I have never witnessed that here, so I cannot comment.

Then it was time for him to move on to bigger and better things.

Ahhh...BIG difference here... I don't recall those two flying off the handle. They were mature enough to move on quietly, without throwing a temper tantrum....

-guess who

i will not say a bad thing about spectre, he is a good person and i am very very sorry he has left. to be hnest i kind of wish he had done what eternel did and left without a big blowout. because i know myself enoughg times i have felt like throwing in the towel because of arguments.

but i must say that all the arguments i have ever had either with non administrative members or the admins have been sorted one way or the other fairly. and i suspect that sometime in the future spectre may look back on it and wish the same thing himself. or maybe not i dont know the full argument.

but this thing you have mentioned really .. man what game was this in?? who did it.

i have heard people joke about this, and well thats it joke,

and are you saying that people who have notserved do not know anything about real life, really, if tg was a millitary regime what would be the point in playing.

just my 2 cents... btw if you know spectre pls give him my reguards.

sorry very off topic... mack to martain luther.... asnd malcom x

martin good malcom bad... no seriously sorry its off point. but i just felt like adding this.

on your reply btw phyll good reply.

Absolutely !

My apologies Dudeman, for not letting the public know....completely my fault !!

To the rest of the forum viewers, Dudeman's posts were in NO WAY offensive. They had quotes, and referred to Spectre's posts, and were therefore deleted together.

...again...my apologies Dudeman....my error...

I have seen one leader TK a player on the public GR server because they specifically shot when they were specifically told not to. It was the third time in a row that it had happened.

I, myself, have threatened to TK two players for abandoning their team or just not listening to orders. I've never actually TK'd anyone, I don't recall, but I have threatened. Any time it has come up, though, it hasn't been for not following orders "exactly", but for repeated problems or complete disregard for the team's safety.

actually i agree with that... but lets leave it for another forum post. maybe start one up, this one has become off track... lets just move on with the thread and leave the unpleasent senative issues now i think... its easier..
