xcom102a: hi
SPSchneppII: 'Sup?
xcom102a: nervous about what to post for the mandatory fight. ahve seen it. at moment, my brother has control of my computer. think he used sith mind powers.
SPSchneppII: Flick 'im in the nose.
xcom102a: did it.\
xcom102a: no effect
SPSchneppII: That always counters my dog's Jedi mind tricks.
SPSchneppII: Ah. In which case flick him in the nose with a baseball bat.
xcom102a: my borhter is not a jefdi, he claims he is a sith and that makes a big differnece.
SPSchneppII: *Rolls eyes*
SPSchneppII: They all bleed the same.
xcom102a: a sith who loves ewoks
SPSchneppII: And anybody claiming to be one who is just as delusional as the other.
xcom102a: why?
xcom102a: just so you know, kitsune106 is posting normally. brother will or should post using italics.
SPSchneppII: A'ighty.
xcom102a: yo yo yo
SPSchneppII: And there's no such thing as the Force. Sorry, buddy-me-boy. But it's just fantasy from a movie.
xcom102a: says you
SPSchneppII: Prove there's such thing as the Force.
xcom102a: prove that there is no force
SPSchneppII: If there were such thing as the Force, then there would be Force-sensitives who felt the Hiroshima bombing or the September Eleventh attacks.
xcom102a: should sith lovers and especailly palpy fans like my brother hate ewoks? A friend says they should.
SPSchneppII: That depends. Do they want to qualify as fanboy or not?
xcom102a: they did not have enought training in the use of the force
SPSchneppII: And if you did, then you'd have no trouble manifesting some proof.
xcom102a: with brother, arguing is futile. bring out cliche police full strength to deal wiith him, okay?
SPSchneppII: To quote a movie, "Smite me almighty smiter!"
xcom102a: alrighty then, just give me yuour name and address
SPSchneppII: Steven Phillip Schnepp II.
SPSchneppII: 1702 East Victoria Drive.
SPSchneppII: Mount Prospect, Illinois.
xcom102a: you will soon be receiving the manisfestation of my power
SPSchneppII: Ooh. Is it something so crass as a letter-bomb, or are you actually gonna use the Force, almighty smiter?
xcom102a: i'm going to use the force
xcom102a: to blow up all your mail

SPSchneppII: Oh, it's perfectly alright.
SPSchneppII: Myself and a few of the other staffers are having a good laugh over that.
xcom102a: over what?
SPSchneppII: . . . You're brother's joking about thinking he has Force powers, right?
xcom102a: if you will hang on, can get you his aim sn so you cna contact him when he is on?
xcom102a: think so, but you never know. would you like to talk to him again?
SPSchneppII: . . . Not really, no.
xcom102a: probably good idea. says that if he was a sentientoid he wants to be a death metoer. think ego\\
xcom102a: problem he has.
xcom102a: sorry if going off topic. forgot to take meds today.
SPSchneppII: Yes. He does.
SPSchneppII: 'Salright. I've made worse transitions.
xcom102a: agreed. how do we get rid of his ego problem?
SPSchneppII: Well, seeing as how he failed to manifest any sign of power . . .
SPSchneppII: . . . Yeah, I got nothin'. I can't do anything once they start hallucinating.
xcom102a: yeah. have to eat dinner now. will be back soon.
SPSchneppII: A'ighty. Have fun.
xcom102a: and thanks for trying. hopefully he does not post on MCCAN, as his bio would probably require full sterngth mobilizaiton of cliiche police.
SPSchneppII: And may the Force be with you. Always.
SPSchneppII: *Shifty eyes* You can tell 'im I'm pokin' fun at 'is supposed Force powers, too.

Alright. I don't normally do this sort of thing, but we've all known this sort of person. The punk, the jock who brags about everything he possibly can.
In this case, he's apparently deluded himself into thinking he has Force-related powers. I'm still waiting for the manifestation.
What really gets my goat is how he claims to be a man. How he claims how he's all grown up.
He's a boy. He's a bloody boy, and will always be a boy. There is more to manhood than getting laid, than dating lots of chicks and making lots of money and being 'successful.'
Being a man is about sacrifice. It's about working your tail off, about putting in long hours both at work and at home to keep your family happy and fed. It's about acting maturely in all situations, not just the ones where you get in trouble if you don't. You don't have to be a hero to be a man. You don't have to save dozens of lives, you don't have to be famous or even well-known. It's about putting others before yourself, their welfare before your pride. Frankly, most boys never grow up. It's not something to be proud of.
The offer's still open, Darren. Or whatever in the Nine Hells of Dante's Inferno your name is. Come on by and I'll teach you what being a man is really about.

*golf clap*

I'd like to echo and applaud Sol's closing sentiments here. Unfortunately, the thought that the welfare of others should come first seems to be waning... I hope that it doesn't die out altogether, or we'll be in trouble indeed.

Oh, and as for the Force as a religion... that's fine. If that's what you want to call God/Allah/Vishnu/the All-Sustaining Mother Essence, fine. Just do try to defend it in complete sentences wthout mispeling al th wyrds.

EDIT: And the part about high school girls being more trouble than they're worth, at least as far as "romantic" stuff goes... it's true. *chuckle* I'm not going to bother trying to convince anyone, though, because they'll have to find it out on their own.

The daren person us, unfortunately, my own bother. I would like to assure you that my brother and I are two very different people.

Solaris, I believe what you said about my brother is most likely true, although will admit that I don;t know him that well. We get along like cats and dogs most of the time, although occasionally we do get along.
