Re: Seriously, a Wonderlic test?
Most people aren’t in the military and the people who sign up are kids. IRL adults discern whether the task is worth dying for. If they don’t know, an adult discerns whether the person asking is trustworthy enough to comply. There is no blind obedience in the vast majority of adult life.Okeefenokee wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:36 pmSo if you were placed in a situation where the completion of your assigned task, your mission perhaps, meant you were very likely to die, you'd think about it, and decide not to do it.

Re: Seriously, a Wonderlic test?
You do realize that most people who work in those kinds of jobs are medical professionals, right? Who have to make those kinds of decisions while thinking more deeply than most. And, horrors, they have extensive educations. And then they have to live with the consequences of their actions- they are always ultimately responsible for what happened.

Re: Seriously, a Wonderlic test?
Which is why is it so fucking asinine for you to pretend that you walking around in your sandals ought to be considered with any equivalency to military service.
But thanks for playing.

What are you talking about? I was responding to the comment about HR departments when you went on a rampage about the military.Okeefenokee wrote: ↑Thu Jul 19, 2018 3:09 pmWhich is why is it so fucking asinine for you to pretend that you walking around in your sandals ought to be considered with any equivalency to military service.

Re: Seriously, a Wonderlic test?
Yeah, I know.
It was quite clear, as you freely explained how your occupation in no way entitles you to claim any equivalency with members of the military in regards to personal sacrifice, and service to something other than yourself, that you in no way remembered that you tried to make that exact claim just a few days ago.
I could tell you didn't get what was going on as you repeatedly explained why the realities of your profession make it nonsensical to pretend as though what you do is just military service by another name.
You even had flounder backing you up.
It was pretty funny.
