Well there's no point in going to Martin Hash's pub to pick up totty.
It's a real sausage fest around here.
I liked Ooky but you beasts chased her off just because she watched too much CNN.

The most fun I ever had in pubs was before I was even old enough to drink legally.
Yeah, when we were underage, we used to wear our uniforms to the pub, they didn't card us back then.

The most fun I had was just saddling up beside a pretty girl and getting the green light to flirt with her.

I met my wife that way, at an Irish Republican bar, the New Windsor House Tavern.

Around here so long as you took your school tie off you could get a drink at 14 in most of the remote or quiet pubs.

More like the Mess then. But there's no arguments in the Mess neither, although sometimes there are fights.

The first night I went to the Junior ranks Mess, one of my future buddies was tearing the place up.

He was six foot nine, two hundred seventy pounds, and he had an Indiana Jones bullwhip which he was snapping.

He looked at me, so I put the pool stick up defensively, so he dropped the whip and charged.

He picked my off the ground by my face, grabbed my head and lifted me off the ground, cocked his massive fist.

Another future buddy came over and interceded "No, don't smash him, he's just an FNG"

The giant man actually moved to Texas and became an American, he's a gunsmith.

Even tho Scotland is much more violent than Canada, the Highlanders JR's Mess was much more laid back.

Their Mess was way fancier than ours, their JR's Mess was as fancy as our Officers Mess.

So they didn't wreck the place, it was very relaxed

Lot of billiards and quiet conversation, just kicking back, they reserved their fighting for the streets.

The mess games they played in the Marines and Paras looked fun back when I was on the training camps.

The Paras at Aldershot actually played the medieval village game.

There was a quonset hut with two doors, you have a canteen cup.

Two teams, first team to get the cup out the other teams door wins.

No rules, no holds barred.

There was one we used to play at juggling conventions called spoons.
All you had to do was chase a ball around the tent with 20 other people and pick it up with the spoon and keep it there for long enough to say ''I've got a ball on a spoon'' there were no other rules.
Sounds innocuous enough but it's the closest thing to a rugby ruck I've ever played. Anyone in the way would get trampled on or knocked out of their chairs. It could go on for 10 minutes before you got a winner.

Spoons was big in the Sergeant's Mess,in the JR's we didn't need any spoons, we just scrapped.

In the Sergeant's Mess I refused to play any games, told the RSM; go ahead and demote me, I don't care about rank.

Women who just prattle Democrat party hacking points lose their hotness.

I don't have any use for going round and round with Blue Staters who can never be convinced of anything.

It simply reduced to hurling invective and disingenuous fallacy upon disingenuous fallacy.

It's not so much that they were chased off, they were just partisan hack tribalists who returned to their bubble.

It's not like the guys on the right here are unwilling to call the GOP out, we have no love for the cucks.

Point being tho, now that the Blue Staters have all run off, there's nobody to even hurl invective at.

Internet argument is bullshit anyways, it doesn't exist, you can't actually debate without a referee.

Moderators on the internet don't ref the debates, they simply censor and ban people.

There's no good will, there's no common ground, there's no unity of purpose, so there is no point in argument.

Nobody is ever convinced, nobody ever keeps score, nobody can win an argument.

Internet argument is a fool's errand. Thus it simply becomes force. Can you force the adversary to withdraw.

Mission accomplished, they withdrew, I simply don't see the purpose of preaching to the choir in their wake.

Like I say, you can go to the Canadian forum, they're all de facto Democrats with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

You won't convince them of anything, they won't concede anything in good faith, they just prattle fallacy.

You can go round and round with them to the end of time, like talking to a wall.

All they will do is say Bad Orange Man, America bad, socialism good. They're like bots for all intents and purposes.
