This gives insight as to what kind of a person you truly are. We honor Veteran because they served. Weather they wanted to or not.

Thank You jdv. 
You obviously also remembered, as a lot of us do, ray's sick, twisted, indictment of veterans on this forum as he proudly proclaimed his own faux "heroism".
His mocking military veterans, especially by claiming that "crossing I-95 in Miami, Florida at 3 pm is equivalent to serving in the military, in combat"
....and especially that kind of bullshit coming from a reported draft dodger that fled the country to avoid service....
I don't know exactly what kind of crap goes on inside their heads, but lowlife that mock veteran's service absolutely deserve every bit of mockery or ridicule they get in return.
I, and millions of others, have been drafted or volunteered and served honorably in our military, sacrificing to protect the freedom of everyone in this country, even Leftist scumbags who want to mock veterans, but I sure as hell didn't give up my freedom to mock them right back as they justly deserve.
...but, as always...

Whenever I am navigating the forum and become aware that if I scroll down any further, I would be looking at a message from the author of the message that immediately precedes this message, I ask myself (considering the context) whether I want to see it.
Often, I don't. But sometimes I do. |

Speaking of the "lowest of the low"......
And you have the gall to speak of "bottom feeders".

It's very obvious who the key board warriors are. Not having a clue is no excuse.
Many have served, some gave all, some ran.

I did not say that I am proud to say that. I am not proud of it. It is a fact, and I wanted it to be part of the conversation.
I am the kind of person who found the post—and it should be clear which post I am talking about—"low".
I see that this post has subsequently been edited to remove what was a different or second caption for the photo image.
What is "low" about it?
I saw that someone offered a "Happy Veterans Day" to Ray. I took that at face value. For someone else to then come along, and seize upon that as an excuse, or a pretext, or a setup to take a "shot" at Ray... to diss Ray's service in what I take was the Florida National Guard. Or if not the Florida National Guard, then some other service that qualifies Ray as a Veteran... I call that "low".
Now if there's a back story here, about something that Ray has done that rightly gives offense to the forum's (other) Veterans, I wasn't aware of it—but I'm not retracting any of what I said, or apologizing for it.
*SNERK*..? From forum member "randye"..? There's been way too much *SNERK* over the years from him. He's in a permanent state of *SNERK*.
If it somehow came out that forum member "randye" was the Navy Seal that personally shot Osama bin Laden dead, I would say, "Honor and Gratitude for that." But it would not change my very negative attitude towards his voice on this forum, because of how he conducts "his voice" on this forum.
It was the 15th day of August, 2020 (if memory serves me), when this forum's owner and moderator finally set some limits on the kind of dissing of other forum members that "randye" can get up to. It was a great day in the history of this forum. I hope that Cliff Pennock will continue to maintain the limits that he set on that august day in August and not allow any backsliding on this.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-13-2022).]

Instead of an "Edit to add", I am following my previous message with some (small) continuation of it. There's a reason for that. But I don't want the conversation to go there. It's just a small point about online messaging of this kind and the sequencing of messages, and the possibility that someone else could add a new message to this thread before I submit this message.
When "jdv" said "Happy Veteran's day Ray" I say (as I said before) that I took it at face value. I took it to mean that "jdv" was recognizing Ray as a Veteran.
As I think about it more, I realize that is not the only way to parse it. Maybe "jdv" was just wishing Ray a Happy Veteran's Day, irrespective of whether or not Ray is a Veteran. Maybe "jdv" was being sarcastic, prompted to sarcasm because of a back story about Ray that I do not know of.
But I wouldn't go back and change a word of what I've already said.
When I come to this forum, I'm interested in what is being said on this forum—the personal histories or back stories of any of the talkers on this forum, including myself—not so much.
Edit to add:
On August 15, 2020, Cliff Pennock firmed up some limits for all forum members, not just any one forum member in particular. Limits that bound a (region of) space, within which one forum member can diss another forum member, and outside of which ((region of) space) is not permissible. The "diss region", or the "diss space". The freedom of diss, and the limitations on the freedom of diss.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-13-2022).]

That's not congruent with your past history on this Forum.
You're not fooling anyone here when you try to play 'dumb'.
Or maybe you're not trying....

I like this one thought that I've expressed, over and above everything else I've said since I decided to "butt in" to this part of the conversation that revolves around the concept of "veteran"—as in U.S. military veteran—but has nothing to do with "why is the cure for (monetary) inflation ..."
Now this is parenthetical: My instinct has been to always capitalize the "v" in "veteran" in this context, ergo "Veteran", but I just consulted some online guidance and that guidance is different. Guided Punctuation, among a modern "keyboard warrior's" most important tools.

Completely different world 75 years ago. A nationalist-minded world.
In today's globalist climate the "rich people" (or even middle class with liquid assets) say screw you, take their cash (and brains) and go someplace else.
What you are left with is elderly, disabled, and leecher classes, NONE of which produce anywhere near what the others do.
Ontario found that out 25 years ago when they tried to enslave and wage-cap doctors, and STILL hasn't recovered from that fiasco.[This message has been edited by MidEngineManiac (edited 11-13-2022).]

Somebody liked Pauly Shore movies, too. It doesn't mean they were a good idea.
