No offense intended, but in my experience that type of attitude is usually exhibited by someone that has led a sheltered life. Sometimes it takes a hard dose of personal experience to realize that we will do just about anything to protect our loved ones and our way of life.

Everyone is someone's loved one. Valuing your own loved ones more than someone else's is called selfishness.

Absurd. Sounds like a comment from someone single with no children. Not an attack on you, just validating my earlier point about not getting it until it happens to you.

I'm confused, would you disagree that choosing to save your own loved one's instead of other people is selfish? Those other people have families too, and are valued by other people. You choose to save your loved ones instead of those random strangers because it is what you want. If that's not selfishness, what is it?

Saving loved ones is selfish? Is selfish a bad thing? BTW, I am a Constitutional/individual liberty and rights guy, so I think the "pursuit of happiness", and prosperity is a good thing; selfish as that might be. I wish more people thought the same, and went out to succeed on there own, without requiring others to do so for them; but I digress.

Whale: I think you just say ridiculous things which have no connection to intellectual thought in order to provoke confrontation. I also doubt highly that you are a WP Cadet, as there are too many signs to the contrary; and because I have too high an impression of WP admissions staff to think they would allow the same.

...but if I am wrong on both of those conclusions, Lord help those who serve under your command.

I find it rather unfortunate that you lack the maturity to respectfully disagree with another person.

You take a lot of the things I say completely out of context in order to frame it and support your narrative. I find it quite annoying.

Does it raise your self esteem when you insult some random dude on the internet?

My self esteem tends to stay about the same regardless what I do or say these days. I do get a spiritual boost though when I expose those who I think lack character. Draw your own conclusions as to whether I have a higher level of vigor tonight after our little banter.

As for maturity, my wife would likely agree with you there, so no argument. I enjoy debate with those who offer thoughtful insight to a conversation. I must admit I haven't experienced much enrichment from our little chat.

Hmmm so I lack character because I value every innocent person's life equally? I'm the devil.

What exactly have I said that demonstrates a lack of character? Valuing the lives of other people shows a lack of character? Realizing that choosing to save a family member if it means 2 strangers dying is a selfish choice shows a lack of character?

Oh, but you won't answer any of those questions. You won't single out a quote that shows my lack of character. You will simply dance around my questions with ambiguous rhetoric. Go on, do it, you've been doing it all night.

OK, here it is. You seem one of two things and they're both bad. One: a troll. I hope it's this one because I'd hate to think we have someone with your attitude potentially commissioning someday. I can't imagine you're a current cadet.
Two: You're just very immature. Hard to believe someone with your mindset would get through the rigors of a service academy. No more debating with you as I think I'm three times your age, and it's like taking candy from a baby.

Please moderators... I apologize in advance. This guy reminds me so much of Frenzymando, I'm done with this thread. Thank you.

It's bedtime for me, and I can tell it's almost your nap time. Besides, you are getting boorish. Wake up tomorrow, read this thread again, laugh at yourself, and then promise never to drink and post again.

Yeah, I'm definitely the one lacking maturity here @Maplerock

I called it didn't I. You didn't call out a quote that shows my lack of character because there isn't one. There isn't a single one, and you know that. I'm getting "boorish" huh? Continuously chastising a guy on the internet because he has an opinion that differs from yours, that sure shows a lot of character and maturity.

Find a quote that shows my lack of character, or else please stop insulting me. Thank you.

Members,

Enough. You were told to maintain both your dignity and your decorum and to abide by the SAF rules. This "discussion" has gotten 180 degrees off topic, and has devolved into nothing of value; its truly more of a...well...its not worth the forums time.
