You don't have it in you to draw it on someone, or so you think, yet you can definitely say that if you were 20 you'd go an volunteer for the army, or if you were drafted you'd "be a man" and go to war. When you make contradicting comments like this, you're asking for it.

You can't acknowledge any time I do it to you, like I just did, so why should I afford you the same courtesy?
As a matter of fact, I'll continue:

Would you like me to embarass you further by going into detail as to why this is one of the most hypocritcal things you've ever said? Or would you like to retract everything you've ever said regarding my decisions not to fight in war?
I give you the choice.

You insinuated you don't know if you have what it takes to even draw a weapon on a man as a profession, and cited that as the reason why you'd NOT become a policeman. So to say you would definitely not take a profession because of it is implying you couldn't do it.
If you're not sure if you could draw a gun on a man in a controlled situation, you expect me to believe you'd enlist in the army? I laugh. I laugh at you.

then again, i could be the most efficient killing machine the military has ever produced. there is no way to tell what you will do in the face of death.
Hahahaha, this is a serious thread, there wasn't any need for jokes. I'm trying to have a debate.
Note the subliminal fact that you said "In the face of death.". Death comes for us all, I'm just choosing not to invite the man round for tea.

nice dodge. now give me your lunch money.
Dodge? You asked me a question, I answered. You didn't even blow his post out of the water anyway, you sealed your own doom. Well, to be fair, you did that with the "I've got a bad leg." cop out.
Also, that's ANOTHER hypocritical statement. You previously cut one of my questions out of your post, specifically (All the rest was replied to.) and I had to chase it up twice following that. So don't accuse ME of dodging.

first and foremost, i apologized for being harsh and calling you an idiot. i also said that you have your views on the issue, and, even though i dont agree with them, they are YOUR views. so as far as going into my remarks as to why you would not fight in a war, you have nothing here. if you cant accept an apology, if you feel the need to dissect my posts, pick them apart and reword your questions in such a way that it looks as if i am not answering them, then go ahead.
First, don't act like I need to make it seem as though you don't answer questions. You cut parts out of your replies when you don't like them, RJ. Pot/Kettle etc.
Second, that's just it. We share the same views on not wanting to do things because we don't want to put ourselves in the face of death, my point was that in future, think before you knee-jerk a reply and we won't end up here.
Now YOU are the one who refuses to acknowledge being blown out of the water. I didn't NEED or WANT you to, but seeing as you expect the same of me, I'd advise you to afford me the same courtesy.

I wouldn't know, I never implied such a thing, ever.

right back atcha. you make me laugh on a daily basis.sorry, i missed the joke i posted. but i am sure you did'nt. after all, you are all knowing and all seeing.
I am flattered you have that opinion of me.
Originally posted by Rogue Jedi
elaborate. how did i seal my own doom. and if you backtrack to the "bad leg" thing again, i will not even bother with it again.
Forgetful too, hmm? You sealed you own doom by saying you don't know if you could pull a gun on a man, and with the following implication also. You sealed your own doom with the firefighter comment, as proven a couple of posts back.

cutting someones question from their post does'nt mean jack shit. so i have to answer every question someone posts? sorry, when did you become head mod here again?
Who said that you have to answer every question? The point is, I asked you a question that you wanted to dodge, so you specifically cut it out of the post. I know this because you replied to every single thing I said, some of it was even less relevant. I then had to chase the question up TWICE or more before you'd answer it.
At least own up. The more this debate goes on, the more you look silly for using the word "coward", or "sapsucker", or whatever it was you said additionally.

example....this should be good.
The first time I ever asked you why you haven't voluntarily signed up for the army, you cut it out of your following reply, and it's the only thing you cut out of my post. You continued to dodge until I more or less forced you to answer.
Page 5, seven posts from bottom, you'll find a post from me in which one of the quotes reads something along the lines of "So why don't you sign up voluntarily? Why wait to be forced? If it's such a respectable act.", or something like that. Your following reply features replies to everything I'd said EXCEPT that question. The following reply that I posted to YOU featured me asking you twice to answer.

Did I? Did I dismiss the idea that soldiers might freeze on the spot? No, I dismissed you ever being able to go to war when you're saying you don't know if you could ever DRAW a weapon on a man.
Originally posted by Rogue Jedi
it was not a compliment.
You hold that opinion of me, me being all seeing and all knowing, I don't, never have I said it. So you must think it, so how else can I take it? I appreciate it.

No, why on Earth would I? Why on Earth SHOULD I?

What do you mean not good enough? How hypocritical. You say "I answer and it's not good enough.", yet when I give you a factual occurance, it's not? Maybe you missed the edit:
