It probably saved me from lung cancer to take my nicotine that way - I got a bladder tumour instead! Happy days! The great thing to remember is that the tobacco companies' profits kept up wonderfully. Long liver capitalism, eh?
    Yep, for sure. Now they market their poison to people in third world countries.

    I'm glad you were able to break free!

    I added the bold, but this is the rule I am talking about.

    If you are worried, then I am talking to you.




    So I guess you put this one on pause, eh?

    Why do you think it's on pause? Because you have two active threads lying about me but which you've blocked me from responding to defend against your lies? People are still posting to your harassment threads.

    What other reason would you create these threads if not to harass me? Why else make a thread about me but block me from responding except to harass and cyberbully me?

    BTW, it appears he was talking to you. LOL

    He seems to constantly tell me he's not but has a plethora of gay pics and references to homosexuals, he looks like a well groomed george michaels.


    Seems to me, he doth protest to much.

    It's ok I don't judge, but damn that guy seems obsessed with all things gay.

    First up on the list is "Dutch Uncle" who has made some extraordinary claims about his military service. Come to find out not all is as it seemed.



    In this case, A guy who lets people believe he was a 20 year career active duty military man was a 6 year active duty guy who went naval reserves.













    #StolenValor

    You went ROTC (PLCA) in 75, which is not active duty nor is it even anything other than being a college kid who plays marine on the weekends and in the summer. so that means you were active duty from about 79-85 which is 6 years active and you spent the rest of your "military career" in the naval reserves after the marines booted you as non-essential, Seaman
    .





    Q. If I join the NROTC program, would I be considered to be in the military, or would I still be
    a civilian?

    A. NROTC Midshipmen are given the same status as "inactive reservists." You would have a
    "reserve" military ID card, but you would be a civilian during all but the summer training cruise
    periods of your curriculum. The summer training is performed in an active duty "reserve" status.


    https://nrotc.oregonstate.edu/sites/...recruiting.pdf


    You were not a marine until you were commissioned. STOP FUCKING LYING ABOUT YOUR SERVICE

    You were in the marines for 5-6 years after college, then they kicked you out via RIF (Reduction in force) meaning you were at the bottom of the list in competency compared to your peers, you then you went to the navy reserves but let everyone here believe you were a 20 year career active military veteran, you are not..


    *****Claiming you were a marine from "75-85" is a lie and stolen valor. , Letting people believe you were active navy and leaving out you went reserves is Stolen Valor. *****

    Agreed. It's also common. Someone coming out of left field with an offtopic personal attack isn't "thread drift".

    OTOH, that's all some people have; just Name-calling. Rinse. Repeat.

    It's not clear to me if it's healthy venting or watching a person self-destruct in a chaotic world.
