Gentlemen, let's be gentlemen. Zookeeper has been proven a productive and excellent member of our community, not a PETA spy, and everyone's English has been well-defended.

[ssmit132]

You would think that everyone on the forum has FS or at least has played FS, but I guess that isn't the case.

We know that Zack doesn't.

Please take some kind of an english class

He speaks very good English. I have talked to and helped many people with English who have far worse English abilities. You can be quite smart without knowing English. Who says you have to speak English well to be smart? Some people can learn it easier than others. Maybe you don't know that it is one of the most difficult languages to learn. It is like me trying to learn to read Japanese kanji, katakana, or hiragana. I can't do it. It seems impossible for me. If someone is trying to study English and lives in an English speaking country, then as long as they make an effort to learn, then no problem, since they should learn it if they live in an English speaking country. But don't be too hard on them. I like talking to them and actually prefer them to people here.

I had a couple girls (love relationships) who were from other countries who speak it as a second language and I helped them and had patience most of the time, and I liked helping and teaching them. I also have talked to many who speak it as a second language. When I talk to some girls online and they don't speak perfect English, it is kind of cute. You just need to learn some patience with people who don't have it as their first language and don't stop talking to them just because they don't speak the language perfectly. Foreigners really like someone like that who has patience for them, if you know people who are from other countries, that is. Maybe you don't know how hard it is to learn a second language, but I know.

Ahem, are we still talking about this same post here?

So... PETA's minions

would do nothing but cruise the internet whole the time

looking for every board wherever someone dares to criticize their organization

and then they strike...

sorry for this post but it just makes me wonder how people (who probably don't even know what this forum is all about) suddenly appear out of nowhere just to write their only posts in topics like this one ... 

Point was, he was arriving to completely bogus and pointless conclusions from what I said (and didn't say), which really has only two notable possible explanations: either he actually meant to write irrational, pointless nonsense or he just made the very understandable and human mistake and didn't quite comprehend what I wrote, which wouldn't happen unless he'd be somewhat unproficient in English (thank you, MP-Ryan!). I was merely trying to be polite and suggest it was the latter.

In hindsight, "reading comprehension" would have been a whole lot better choice of words and more descriptive of what I meant than "english" was. I hope this clears up any confusion?

Okay, first everyone needs to calm down.

Second accusing someone of being a plant for PETA is rather silly given that you can easily check the date Zookeeper joined on simply by clicking on his name.

Thirdly, if someone does flame you in a silly fashion like that, use the report to moderator button and we'll deal with it.

I wonder what sort of plastic those bug catchers are made of.

[massive exaggeration , possible truth]
Chances are that is made of the unhealthy kind.
Made in a factory that doesn't met international standards for environmental protection.
A industrial complex that depletes toxic chemical substances into a nearby river and kills all the animals that live in there or that feed on the animals that live in there.
People get sick from eating the fish out of the river, or getting chronic diseases.
A factory that releases toxic fumes in the air, poisoning everything in the vicinity.

For what? To save a few flies??

I surely hope that the alleged original article is false.

Nevertheless PETA has been a pain in the arse for a long time. Too bad I have never met a PETA activist that would live that close to the nature.

Fun fact (as opposed to being a douchebag and correcting you) we all are allergic to bug bites, an allergy is an over reaction to a chemical introduced into the body. The ones who aren't allergic are the exception, not the norm.

Ahem. Depends on where you live and how often you get bitten. In Lapland they don't seem to get anything from mosquito bites, probably because of the overexposure when they were young. I do get bumps at the beginning of the summer, but nothing at the end of summer.

Besides, there have been stories in Lapland of mosquitos of size of one's hand, and that it is possible to hear them sucking [sluuuurp!] when they puncture your skin. After doing that deed, the swollen sausage proceeds flying [flap flap flap] to the nearest tree with that departed part of your skin. There they start munching that final part so that you can hear [munch munch munch munch]... while looking at you smugly.



Joking aside, I volunteer to be a guide for any substantial PETA group in the local swamp area. I get the mosquito repellant, they don't, on the grounds that it denies mosquitos their natural lunch and since I'm a heartless bastard, I don't care. Actually, come to think of it, I could do it without the repellant also.

And wouldn't it be a nice idea to teach those poor African kids how to use those catcha thingies? Preferably in the AIDS contested area, since there has to be a lot of bugs.

The only good bug is a dead bug.



Sorry, couldn't help it

[karajorma]

Find me the Republican who would still complain about Obama if he'd killed that bug with his bare hands.

Heh. I was thinking the exact same thing. Is it that lava beetle?

[MP-Ryan]

It looks like it is from that movie "Star Troopers". But I'm not sure.

You are correct.  They refer to it as a "tanker."

[Scotty]

That dialogue reference was intentional?  Excellent choice.

For anyone else who has seen the movie, do you have any idea how Rico stays on its back long enough to plant the grenade?

Plot suction boots.

Made of handwavium.

[Aardwolf]

Well he was pretty much standing on it shooting to make a hole in it, then he grabbed onto that. I read somewhere that Casper Van Dien chipped a tooth filming that stunt (i.e. without a double).

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Dizzy had a much easier time with a second tanker. She just threw the grenade at it, and then it ate it.

And then she was killed by a warrior bug.
