Well, thanks, dude, it's cool to know that somehow it matters in the long run that I've been able to go through all this sh*t with my head up. Honestly I have seen people end up all messed up or dead over a lot less. But eh, we all got problems. Something that sends one person into therapy for the rest of his life doesn't even faze someone else. It's all about how you deal with it. I don't get along with my father. I don't hate him, but I deeply resent him and I honestly don't think we're going to resolve our problems (his other son, my half-brother, refuses to see or talk to him). I could let that cripple me, or I could get it in my head that no matter what, I will NOT be like he is. If anything, I've learned in life what NOT to do, and I guess I owe him for that.

And it's cool to hear I'm respected. Agree or disagree with someone, I think respect is important. And Rez, here's my issue: I can have a disagreement with you, be of completely different opinion, and tell it like it is without outright insulting you or your opinions. But for you to call me an "idiot" and refer to me as "brian damaged" over a petty disagreement, that shows not only no respect, but a lack of maturity. I don't dislike you, I don't even know you well enough to have an opinion on your actual personality, but I can't stand when you do stuff like that. And I've seen you do it a lot, to a lot of people, but I refuse to take it. So what I said stands true: I can talk to you, argue with you, debate with you, but if you're going to get childish and whip out the name-calling, I'm just not gonna talk to you, because there's NO REASON for it. And if I ever do it to you, well, then you have full permission to give it right back and call me a hypocrite.

All I do is do what I do, and people can either like it, or not. Meanwhile... I think it's about Beer-Thirty by MY watch, gentlemen.

Sorry to hear all that Leo, but you've come along way. Way to go buddy!

On a side note... it's beer-thirty!? *runs*

~And the above is one good reason you have my respect, Leo my friend.....

Call me crazy, but...when did I ever do any such things? I was simply giving you props for keeping your head up...what brought on mentioning that? I don't remember calling anyone "brain damaged" or "idiots" just because they disagree with me, I did so because they showed signs that they indeed were. You must be thinking of Garet. Even if I did, perhaps the umpteenmillion smilies I put in my posts weren't clue enough to show that I was in no way serious...

In any case, I don't think you have any right to call me "immature" when in fact I am probably a hell of a lot more mature than a vast majority of my peers. Like I said, I have no idea where what I quoted from you came from...

~~Leo656~~ · 08-04-2003, 01:04 PM

It was a while ago in one of the wrestling threads, you called me an idiot and said I was brain damaged, and after that I pretty much stopped paying attention to that thread and explained that whenever you resort to stuff like that, I wouldn't bother replying to you. And there were no smilies in THAT post indicating any kind of levity. Note, however, that it was quite a while ago, and that we've communicated in several threads since then, which should adequately show you that I don't harbor any lasting anger or resentment towards you for it, just that when you DO do it, it pisses me off, and that it IS an immature thing to do, at least when you seem to be serious. Just because you are more mature than a lot of people here in many ways doesn't make you immune to immature behavior.

So anyway, you probably *weren't* being serious at the time, but you never gave any indication that you were joking, either, and the fact the debate was becoming so heated made your comments about me being "brain damaged" certainly sound serious. But if you were in fact joking it probably went over your head, understandably.

old cartoon, but the new stuff has hooked me more.

Albrecht · 08-04-2003, 02:00 PM

when I think about the old cartoon/toys/videogames I get all happy and light headed

Quote me and I'll believe you, and then specify which thread it was so I can verify it myself.

Now the above statement makes me just as guilty of what I am about to say, but frankly your argument (not to mention to painfully long posts you make in general) is, metaphorically, riding a dead horse. Give it a rest.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-04-2003, 03:03 PM

Fine, if you're gonna get all nitpicky about it.

The two quotes that ticked me off were:

Quote:

I'm not MOST fans, idiot.

Quote:

Boy, you wanna talk about FOLEY having brain damage? Seems to me like, based on what you said right there, the brain damage you have makes Foley look like he still HAS a brain TO damage!

Uneccesary comments, but if you WERE joking, that's fine, but that's not how I took it.

And I've heard of beating a dead horse, but never riding one. You accusing me of necrophilic bestiality, now, boy? You sick ffffffffffffffreak!!!

Boys, boys... lets get this all under wraps, or just take it off into your PM's, before us mods have to get busy about this too.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-05-2003, 02:24 PM

As far as I'm concerned, the conversation's finished.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 08-18-2003, 10:07 PM

I started with Mirage!

jestergoblin · 08-18-2003, 11:42 PM

I became hooked from the cartoon, comics and living a mile away from Eastman. I also went to school with his nephew up until 3rd grade. Basically, my entire life I've been around ninja turtles starting with my first Leonardo action figure back in `88 for my 3rd birthday. Geeze, I still have that guy in one of my action figure boxes...

Lanagirl · 08-19-2003, 04:36 AM

I was at the hospital... I was almost dieing, I was waiting for my doctor to come. I had to be operated.. I could not stop crying. I was a little girl . A very nice nurse tried to calm me down so she turned on the 4th channel and I saw TMNT turtles. I stopped crying and started to watch. Then I was operated but I didn't feel the pain anymore. When I opened my eyes, I realized- I LOVE NINJA TURTLES... FOREVER AND EVER

GreenWillow · 08-19-2003, 05:56 AM

~Wow Lana, that's a very touching story. Would you be surprised to know you're not the only person I know who was hosptalized as a child and clung to the TMNT to make it through?

There's just something about these guys.....

~GW

Lanagirl · 08-19-2003, 06:38 AM

wow
Yes, I'm surprised! I hope those kids were fine as me.
Yes, Ninja Turtles helped me a lot.

I still can't believe I survived.. perhaps it wasn't my turn to go..
I'll die another day

*Dr. Doom* · 08-19-2003, 01:59 PM

Wow

**azure turtle** · 08-21-2003, 02:42 AM

Wow Lana, that's an incredible story!

Mine pales in comparison to yours. I got hooked on the TMNT since I first saw the original cartoon air on TV. I think I was about six or seven at the time, and I heard a bunch of kids at school talking about this brand new cartoon. I tuned in one day, loved the show, and I've been a fan of them ever since.

**HorseTechie** · 08-21-2003, 10:15 AM

Wow indeed! The TMNT are truly Lana's heroes!

*eyeswift* ...so why the switch in interests for the Shredder?
