Quote Of The Moment #0006

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry over that quote. I went and read the article and apparently the guy was SERIOUS when he said it. It's so sad that he cannot see the irony of that statement. -- Posted by: Vic... on August 13, 2003 05:26 AM
No, I'll tell you what's really sad, Vic, and that's that you were unable to tell that Eddie Tews had taken a quote completely out of context and by way of doing that was essentially putting words in this Captain's mouth. And this was AFTER you read the article, no less! A real fuckin brain surgeon you must be, Vic. Let's examine.
First, I will be the first to admit that this Captain was not the sharpest knife in the drawer for using the word "values" when it was inappropriate. Nevertheless, one could easily discern what he meant. He was speaking about the way Iraqi hospitals are run in contrast to the way American hospitals are run; he was in NO WAY making any type of remark about our value system or culture vs Iraqi culture or values.
Getting back to the hospitals...for example, in American hospitals, you cannot SMOKE FUCKING CIGARETTES IN THE E.R.!!! The Captain was saying that there are some Iraqi doctors who want their hospitals to be modeled more after American ones, i.e. no smoking. The fact that this Captain somehow used the term "values" instead of "procedures" or "operating guidelines" or even "regulations" is beyond me, but let's face it, in a capitalist society, the sharpest minds are not in the rank-and-file levels of the military like this captain is (nor are they kitchen staff at a country club like Eddie Tews is); they are usually successful business owners and the like. Further, all this presupposes that this quote is the least bit accurate or is even reported in the correct context. You will also notice that Eddie was all too eager to post what was more than likely a "massaged quote" (in the journalism vernacular) from a very biased and spurious source. I give about as much credit to this report as I do to the National Enquirer.
So Eddie, let's see how you like a little of your own medicine, asshole. Let's see how THIS quote would be taken if presented to, say, any given ER doctor anywhere in the Western World: "There seems to be an uneasy truce between the doctors and the Americans. The doctors don't like the way the soldiers sometimes try to interfere, especially stopping them from smoking in the wards. 'Like it makes a difference' says Dr. Sabah...." Now I don't know about you, but even taken IN CONTEXT, I find THAT quote pretty hysterical.
To summarize, you're all a bunch of stupid fucks. Vic, for being too stupid to realize that Eddie was trying to pull the wool over your eyes; Eddie, you're just up to your usual brainless antics, and as usual, you can fool the really stupid people but not anyone with half a brain in their head. I also love how you constantly dodge my challenges and the challenges left by other posters who don't agree with your idiotic views.
You and your boy Vic should get together and suck each other's dicks and then jackoff on a picture of Dubya. You'd probably feel much better about yourself, and would have done your cause more good than this inane website. Plus you wouldn't have made yourself look nearly as stupid in the process! LOL! -- Posted by: Greg Taylor on August 13, 2003 06:56 PM
Oh, and of course, Greg, intelligent intercourse such as yours should be taken entirely seriously. I'm so glad to know that insult and namecalling are the signs of great right wing minds. -- Posted by: Vic... on August 14, 2003 09:52 AM
I'm smart enough to know you're stupid, Vic, but I'm also an aggressive person who likes to beat down people he doesn't like, which is why I come across aggressively like I do. Unfortunately, since we're communicating via the internet, I have to settle for name calling and cheap gay jokes b/c that's about as close as I can get to shoving a dirty dishtowel in your mouth to shut you up.
to summarize, Vic, you're still stupid and you're a pawn of a very very stupid man. pretty sad... -- Posted by: Greg Taylor on August 14, 2003 06:59 PM
"I'm also an aggressive person who likes to beat down people he doesn't like"
and you call Eddie an idiot because he writes about bush?
Hypocrite... -- Posted by: Robert Hardy on August 17, 2003 08:43 PM
let's all take a moment to welcome Robert Hardy, the newest member or Eddie's Jackass Brigade, to the table.
Dumbshit, your logic really does baffle me. I guess you thought you had a point, just like Eddie often does, but also, just like Eddie, you don't. I've called Eddie a lot of names, but I don't think I've ever called him a hypocrite. I don't think he's a hypocrite, I just think he's not very bright, is incredibly attention starved (hence this website) and is about as useful as nipples on a man. He can blab about Dubya all he likes; I'm not saying he's a shithead for doing that in and of itself, I'm saying he's a shithead for what he says in the process of doing it. Yes, I wish he'd do us all a favor and shut the fuck up, but I don't fault him for exercising his right to free speech. It's just that one of the downsides to a country in which one has the right of free speech is that we must put up with people like Loius Farakhan and Eddie Tews. -- Posted by: Greg Taylor on August 18, 2003 08:10 AM
"I've called Eddie a lot of names, but I don't think I've ever called him a hypocrite" ~Greg Illiterate fuck... This is what I wrote
"and you call Eddie an idiot because he writes about bush?"
idiot does not equal hypocrite.
Although i do agree with you on one thing, "I don't think he's a hypocrite"
Oh and one more thing, verbal abuse and name calling is nothing more then an attempt to scare or intimidate someone in the hopes of censorship. Greg "censorship" Taylor... Goodnight. -- Posted by: Robert Hardy on August 19, 2003 05:38 PM
as I should have expected, you did not make the connection. Let's recap: I gave someone a verbal beatdown. You called me a hypocrite for it b/c you claim I have faulted Eddie for doing the same thing. This is not the case. As I explained in my last post, I don't fault Eddie FOR speaking out, I fault him for WHAT he says when he writes his self-righteous blatherings. You called me a hypocrite FOR doing it, not for WHAT I said. Do you see the difference, dipshit? So, the point is, how can I be a hypocrite when I have never faulted Eddie for doing something I have done myself? If I HAD faulted him, that would be another story. You do know the meaning of hypocrite, don't you, shithead?
but since you feel it is necessary to call me an "illiterate fuck" (when you could not make a simple connection yourself--hilarious), let's go ahead and take a look at your brilliant prose:
"Oh and one more thing, verbal abuse and name calling is nothing more then an attempt to scare or intimidate someone..."--Hardy
first of all, when using the English language, we use "are" (not "is") when speaking of two or more entities (i.e. verbal abuse AND name calling). second, you meant "than", not "then". the former relates two things in comparison, the latter is used as a time reference. funny how someone with such a tenuous grasp on our language knew all this while such an insightful literary critic as yourself (who can recognize an "illiterate fuck" when he sees one) did not. LOL MOTHERFUCKER.
Goodnight, shithead! -- Posted by: Greg Taylor on August 24, 2003 03:11 PM
Greg, your an idiot and you always change the story to give yourself more support. Period. -- Posted by: sda on August 27, 2003 04:55 AM
