Osbo Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Well, I think maybe the old man just make a joke or something like that. Of course, I'd rather wear a WWII patch on a jacket than a Activision Patch, remeber that generation of people didn't have video games to play, instead they had to fight for the world in wich we live now, otherwise, thanks to then we don't live under the Nazi flag or the comunism ideoligy. I personally know WWII veterans, and I think they really are the good generation, we should be thankfull to them instead to criticize them. Just my two cents Osbo [ 05-20-2002: Message edited by: osbo ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 osbo is right. The old dude made a joke, everybody is going nuts for no reason and now some guy is going to take a communist to a concert with a New Kids shirt. Countdown to the Apocalypse begins now.

Osbo Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Dude, I think it's ok, but remember, those old guys out there, they wanted to trow baseballs instead of grenades, shoot a .22 instead of an M1, go out in dates instead of going out in patrols, and like I said, he probably made a joke, plain and simple, and so far, he knows what's Space Invaders Osbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Kale Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 guys, chill. opa, you have to stop taking this so seriously. First off, at least what he said had some humour to it. Secondly, when you think about it, he may have found your patches offensive because they kinda mock the things that he stood for (ie: when he called you mr 10,000 points, he was pointing out the fact that while your game is easy, and you're good at it, the real thing is much harder, and should be given a little more respect.). Frankly, I'd laugh a bit, then forget about it - your never going to see him again anyway, so what's the use of being bitter about the fact that he made a good joke & you had no comeback? thirdly, Adrian is quite nice..... *starts running* [ 05-20-2002: Message edited by: Noble Kale ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anywhere that he wanted to fight. The Vet made an observation and I agree with I disagree. Had the vet said something like "I think wearing your patches like that is disrespectful" or something along those lines that would be making an observation, but by making a smart alec remark like that he was obviously trying to make Opa Opa feel guilty about the badges or trying to start something. I call that badgering. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malix Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I agree with the laugh it off comments. The guy has probably been through a whole lotta shit you or I have never seen. Does this make it right for him to be a smartass. NO, but if we let every smartass out there get to us then we are gonna have problems. Just shrug it off. There are way more important things to worry about than small stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.. it was a celtic cross for eons before the nazis bastardised it. [QB] If you are talking about the swastika, I think that's a special case. You'll have a hard time justifying wearing it, regardless of any other meanings (celtic, navaho, whatever). BTW, I take issue with your avatar image. From what I've read about him, Che Guevera was little more than a more handsome and more idealistic version of Fidel Castro who had a nack for propaganda speeches that pushed buttons with the disenfranchised in the third world. Hardly a fit role model for anyone. He was just as much a ruthless killer as any other guerilla dictator. His writings have been used to rationalize just about every guerilla movement in latin america, causing endless violence in the region.

liquid_sky Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Glenn.. look closer at his hat. Its a satire of him. See the nike check? Its kind of a personal statement of mine.. Its mocking those people whop try to stand up for a change, but are nothing else than an everyday human.. nothing different except for the front they put up. As for the celtic cross, its also known as the iron cross. Heres a pic of the shirt. I mistyped dropkick murphys, it was a rancid shirt. m apologies.

StanJr Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hey, I'm comfortable enough with myself to admit that as a girl, Adrian is quite hot, I reserve the right to have no opinion on how he looks as a dude.

Xot Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I believe the coldest and surest-to-invite an ass-kicking response to the "Mr. 100,000 points" comment would have been, "Yeah, well how many points were women and children worth?"
