The only job I had ANY security in was with the military, but I was a sniper and quite frankly, I don't feel like killing anymore. It leaves a nasty taste in your mouth and it's one that will never go away. I could go back to the Army, but then I get sent to Iraq to do what I told myself I'd never do again.

WOAH, dude, i have 50 tonnes of respect for you...snipers are cool.......anyway


i've havn't even gone to uni, and i'm going to pass a microsoft certified proffesional exam...to get some easy job with high pay position as a network administrator someplace...  :-D

Hmm, you can't spell professional. Just complementing your comments elsewhere. :-D

M$? :-(

Speaking of IT, however... Today was fun, I got to go to an interview and talk about genuinely interesting things (as opposed to pretending I give a sh*t about interest rates.) And they were impressed! Awesome. :-)

Yeah, along with everyone else. ;-) But good luck anyway.

Kid, you need to re-evaluate that statement. Being a killer is  NOT 'cool'. I did a job that I was trained to do and I was good at it. That doesn't make me proud, or a hero or anything. I did what I was told to do. I was a soldier. If I had to do it all over again, I would have never enlisted.

If you want to be proud of someone or have '50 tonnes of respect' for them, then do it for the right reasons. Have respect for the doctors who save lives, or those people who spend their lives fighting abuse against women and children. Have respect for those few who strive to fight racial and sexual intolerances. Have respect for firefighters or police officers, who risk their lives everyday protecting you. Teachers deserve your respect, not me.


Hurting people is easy....


It's the ones that HEAL, Sir Inferno, that  deserve respect.

Good luck dude...there are like xx thousand other kids out there with the exact same idea. In reality, you won't get a job as a network administrator, only as consultant or something similar, and getting well paid is not an option. The IT boom imploded 4 years ago...it's on it's way back, but business has learned now. Trust me, I had your attitude and idea 7 years ago.

Snipers are not cool. How can you call someone that kills people for a job cool? Snipers are cool on Battlefield 1942. In real life I'm sure they have issues getting back to normal life when they sign out of the military. Think about your statement again, I hope you didn't mean it seriously. Being a sniper must be one of the worst jobs available.

Aye! T'is far easier to hurt someone than to heal them. Also, it's much nicer to help.

That was beautiful, dude. :-)

HAHAHAHA This from the guy that wants to use Crom Fayer as a weapon of war.  :-D You do know it will instantly kill golems and giants, right?? I don't think that's much of a healing effect, Whabang, much less a helpful one. (I must point out that Viconia was quite the cleric with it, however.)

I wasn't trying to be beautiful, Chris, though I appreciate the compliment. There's nothing at all beautiful about war. :-?

God, I've turned into SUCH a hippie!!!!  :lol:
