oops a typo..
"negative eed
back" should read "negative feedback"

I am going to mute this poster name MajorMichell since the person is talking like a minor. I would call him MinorMichell.

Meep, tell us about the first time you had to fight for food. I'm in the mood for a good ass whoopin story.

It was not even a fight, I was so beaten up. When I was 11 year old, I was hanging out late and came home late for meal. My older brother ate my food. I was hungry and upset, I complained to my mother. My mother wanted to hush the whole issue under the rug. She asked me to love my brother and forgave him.

No, I hated my older brother. He was a coward and always beaten me for revenge when other stronger kids beat him up. Thus, I never loved my older brother. So, I disobeyed my mother's teaching. She pulled out a stick and hit me like a hungry dog. I put up my arms to block the stick, and they were bruised up, bleeding slightly later. In rage, I remembered ignoring the pain. I swore someday when I grew bigger I will crush my older brother for revenge. The coward was standing in the corner smiling.

Now, why would my mother had such injustice. I figured out. We live in labor area, densely packed. I was making too much commotion, and the neighbors heard all about the quarrel. But mainly, I think my mother wanted to hide the fact she failed to raise my older brother properly. Well, he was born that way, a coward and caused so much trouble for everyone, especially me.

Other time, I was in charge of buying a few kilo of food and I was a la-la-la child who did not paid attention. The shop short changed me and gave less food. My mother locked me out of the house till I can get back enough amount of food. That's a classic example of putting between a tough rock and a hard case. As a child I thought about killing myself to end my pathetic lives. For most part, I was the poorer among the poors. Everyone was poor but I was poorer. I will admit I was chicken and did to carry out the suicide plan. But with such terrible beginning, I had little to lose so later on, I fought the hardest among the troops and rose to the top rank of battle commander. I had to say this:

"The kids were so poor, they had so little but they bled so much."

We all were poor so the loss of blood would be very serious and the person could be weaken for a week. Everyone was skinny but we did bleed a lot. That was if you cut the blood vein.

I would like to rescind my earlier endorsement of MeepMeep. I think he's a troll, probably from America.

Sorry for the earlier confusion. Any normal person would have given up by now.

I will confess, I broke another kid's hand when I caught him trying to steal fruits from my family fruit tree. He had been climbing the electrical pole next to my house to pluck the fruits. Frankly speaking the fruits were awful and I did not bother to eat them, except when I was very hungry. But I hated anyone stealing stuff from me or my house.

So, I knew that kid's routine and one day I timed it and hid along the fence. I caught his hand and refused to let go. He slipped from the pole and broke his hand. Of course I blame him for stealing my fruits.

Other time, I walked to this neighborhood, and there was this fruit trees sticking out to the road. My logic was, "hah free fruits, it's on the public road." Well, I admit I took some rock to throw at the branch to get the fruits to fall down. Anyhoo, the kid in the house came out and chase us. Frankly speaking I could easily own the guy with my skill, but I felt guilty for getting caught. So I ran. No fight.

The fights were serious about pecking order and the right to passage. If you did not fight to gain respect, everytime to walk by that street you will be pulling and beaten like a punching bag. You must have a groupie to protect you. So we went to war often because one of our members got beaten here and there. Kids were bored, that's all they did, beating each other up to show off macho.

Since I was the weakest and the most underfed I must use technique to compensate for my weak physics. Did I care for my opponent's injury? Heck no, I cared about mine. I would do what ever I saw fit to protect me. Anyone who attacked me forfeited their right to live. I let God decide if the boys shall survive. I only want to protect myself and restore peace. That's my priority, not the other kids' well being.

MeepMeep, you have not replied to me: are you interested to play a few games of chess with me? Please let me know, this would be polite.

@Julien

You said your FIDE rating is 2200, isn't that boasting? And are you going to prove it to me? So, why is that when I said something, you would say I was boasting, but you are not? Just curious.

And to be frank with you, in my life time, I played for a total of 50 - 100 games. It took me only a few games to get to top form, 2 games to get to State tournament, 12 games to get championship in my area to impress the gal. But's each time I did that, it was very taxing.

Currently I am interest in learning new stuffs, say, Network Security, Encryption, Ethical Hacking. I know little about these fields, but anyone who challenges me in the field in my interest, I will concentrate and show my superior learning speed.

I have not played chess for awhile, and frankly speaking I view it as too easy. It's a deterministic system and everything lay out on the open. I had a lot more challenge playing poker which I am only an average player. For some reason, other people can read through and knew when to call my bluff and when to fold when I actually had a strong hand. That's something I need to fix. And I met some girls, wow, they were so good at poker. They owned me.

Meep - you are a fuckwit. I am not going to qualify this with wit, as it will be lost on you.

I'll put this foul mouth dog, kaner406 on mute too.

I am curious: Do these foul mouth dogs use the F-word to their mothers? If they don't, why can't they not use the F-word to other people. Look at me, I don't use the F-word at all. I guess, my foster parents are indeed high class.

@ Meep Meep,
you claim you rose from the troops to the top rank of "Battle Commander"
I cannot believe you received a Commissioned Officer's rank in ANY reputable
Defense Force. You certainly never attended Sandhurst or West Point in my opinion.
I also cannot believe you attended any similar Institution in an original NATO member
countries Defense Forces.
Thats not a recognised rank in several national defence forces with which I am familiar.
What national defence force ?
What "specialisation" ? ( eg Infantry, Artillery, Tanks/ Armour'd, Special Forces etc )
or was it the "kiddies patrol" around your local neighbourhood ?

@ Nigee,
Her Majestic Indoors used to love a splash of "Plum sauce"
nudge nudge, wink wink, know wot I mean Guvnor ?

"Years go, I was in this single club full of young yuppies.."

We are too high class to go to establishments like bars...but singles clubs...nothing but class.

MeepMeep:

"I don't use the F-word at all."

"foster"

Busted dude :P

Besides, we only use the F-word for superior creatures like you MeepMeep. Because it's people like you who are mother-F-word-ers.

This Meep Meep cannot even keep his lies consistent
at one stage he's an ophan, now he's got an uncaring mother
he claims he "rose from the troops to the highest level, a " Battle Commander"
it's all fiction, untruth and it seems he is just a pathetic troll

I cross swords with Dwaugnar at times, but at least Dwaugnar is truthful
this Meep Meep blighter is a pathetic joke & dishonest

"Mother Superior jumped the gun."

@ Meep Meep:
well I said my rating is around 2200, you can have

@ Meep Meep:
well I said my rating is around 2200, but as I do not have an official ranking at the moment as I prefer playing for fun than in ranked competitions as I do not have that much free time.
However the last time I played was the Aeroflot open and my performance was 2120 (http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=36036404) with two games missed because I had to leave the tournament before the end.. I had a date! You see you are not the only ladyman ;)
Anyhow to get back to serious stuff, it means that my level is still around 2200. But in any case even 2100 is a fairly good level.
The fact that I am Julien Vergues, well I am not sure how to prove it, Kestas or Babak could vouch for me if that is of any help.
What you say about chess being a deterministic system is correct but you also know that it is far from being resolved, and probably only future quantic computers could achieve that task, so there is still a lot of life in the game as top pros demonstrate easily.
Well, if you'd like to play a game with me, I'll be glad to. If you have no interest in it, so be it, no worries man.

I also shifted from chess to poker, but I do not think I am any good at it for some reason.. maybe it is because I play with friends, and we focus too much on the fun talk and a few drinks and not so much into the game itself ;)
But, yeah, when I play over Internet I fare (slightly) better.

As for saying you're boasting, well don't take me wrong, I see that several people dislike you, but actually I do respect you as you articulate logical viewpoints. I actually find you quite interesting, so when I am making jokes, it is by no means meant to be disrespectful. I also respect the fact that you do not use abusive language.
What I meant by that is that you tend to say loud when you have high achievements, while a standard behaviour in society is not to do so. For instance you would not see Federer saying that he is the very best and crushes competition. People with high achievements usually use quite moderate tones. I do not say that it is wrong that you behave differently, but it is not a standard pattern.

One thing is strange though, it is your constant referral to "high class" as a positive influence. Whatever my family background, my parents always told me that there are good people and bad people in all social classes, and that money is not a relevant factor to judge people. Do you disagree with this?

Btw they got my birthyear wrong on the fide link, but to be made younger is not an unpleasant feeling!

Julien and MeepMeep sitting in a tree ....... K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

There are always good or bad people in all social classes, yes. There are always smokers in all social classes also. I don't want to be a secondary smoker. I don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drug, don't swear profanity. Those who swear profanity on the forum are sore-eyes to me. See for yourself, imagine they swear the F-words in front of their mothers. lol, that would be a scene.

"imagine they swear the F-words in front of their mothers. lol, that would be a scene"
- ooh what a scene that would be, swearing !! ooh naughty naughty !!

MeepMeep, really? You think my mother gives a FUCK? I don´t swear a lot but sometimes it´s just convenient. My family swears a lot though :P

the Meeptroll can go get stuffed
I'm using this thread for another purpose,
the cunning old MajorM is already involved in a neighbourhood dispute
and is about to start a second conflict !!!!

You'll love this stuff

conflict 1 the local residents have for too long endured the ill manner'd behaviour
of the tenants of a house that is "public housing", ie govt owned housing for the disadvantaged. They had a party about two weeks back that has everyone absolutely fed up.
I spoke to a Police patrol at 4 am after they had visited the house
The Police told me that Police had attended the house 4 times, taken 3 persons into custody & issued an "on the spot" fine for excessive noise ( about $Aus 400- )
& they said we've done all we can do, but if any resident wants to complain ( and the unspoken message was clearly "PLEASE COMPLAIN" ) they can ring the relevant Govt department & put in complaint & if enough complaints are made, then they have to evict the tenants.
So I have organised the local residents, supplied them with the information on how to make complaints, etc etc & we are at "Autumn 1902" on that process.

conflict 2 in speaking to thet tenants at a different house, one that adjoins the rear of my property, I find out that the young woman is about 8 months into her pregnancy, and they are about to have their 3rd girl ( Oh lucky father !!! ) She has been taken to Hospital with some problems with the pregnancy.

Not helping is the actions of their landlords, a bunch of property speculators who
purchased the property about 4 years back. Without discussing it with the tenants,
or telling them in advance, some chap turns up to bang in the "For Sale" sign at the
property. The house ids going on the market.

Well the cunning old MajorM has the advantage of height,
any decent sniper would love the positions I can use from my old shack by the sea.

I have also played this trick before with another "problem neighbour" about 15 years
ago. That fool made the mistake of insulting "Her Majestic Indoors" who the silly old MajorM loved madly & he was trying to sell his property.
My best friend said "Just pound the fool, put him in the intensive care ward for 4 months"
I said, " NO, we've just moved to the little village by the sea & I don't want problems with the local Police, they don't know I am here or who I am, & I'd like to keep it that way"

Of course now the local Police do know who I am & we "have a certain understanding"

But at the time, & the fool had Her majestic Indoors in tears, I said to Her M Indoors,
as I comforted her, I am loyal to you babe, so it's WAR with the fool, but don't worry,
I'll think very carefully before I act & I am not going to jail."

So the cunning old MajorM had a good think, & a couple of days later I went into the local Sewing Shop & purchased about 6 metres of super strong cotton cloth in bright Red, 6 metres of Black & 2 meters of bright yellow & came home
I fired up the Necchi (Italian) "superjulia" sewing machine -- the last evolution of 70's technology, so unlike your modern sewing machines that are light because they are made of plastic, this job is all high quality steel, so stainless steel cams etc, that never wear out -- it'lll sew canvas
& I made a flag, & triple stitched the seams etc, put in strong loops for attachment etc etc
What flag, you ask, well it's the "Aboriginal Flag" Red horizontal half, top horizontal half Black with a big round yellow circle.
the red base symbolises the Land
the Black top symbolises the People
& the yellow circle symbolises the Sun that sends the temperature skyrocketing in Australia in summer .

I waited until it was open inspection weekend at the fool's next door & hung out my flag from an advantageous height for all to see, and arranged a few old car bench seats in the front yard & a few empty beer cartons as decoration.

Well, I exploited the whitey's prejudice.
Try & sell your house now for top dollar, you mug"
( with punters thinking the Aboriginals are living next door )

It drove the fool next door frantic, punters coming for open inspections would come
along the street trying to find a street number, see the number on my fence,
& realise it was the next house along they were going to,
look at my yard, spot the flag, & roar off in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

And the best part -- when the fool next door tried to complain to the Local Council,
he got told, "Don't be racist, there's nothing we can, or will do about that flag"

Her M Indoors & I watched as, over the next year 8 different Real Estate Agents
tried advertising and selling the house next door, eventually it sold, and for a bargain basement price. I cost that fool $Aus 40k to 50k

A few of the agents tried to discuss the "problem" & they were told
"That fool treated my woman with contempt and insulted her.
He is learning that such folly has a heavy price attached as a consequence.
Do not attempt to engage me or my woman in conversation again."

I just rummaged about & found the good old flag,
it's a tad faded, but still good for another campaign. (somewhat like the old MajorM )

I'va had a look, and tomorrow will drop in to the Hardware store, & purchase two
single wheel pulleys.
I can wire them up to the building scaffold that's at the rear of my place,
it's partly a frame for the wire mesh & plastic greenhouse for my Frangipani collection
and with a rope loop, I'll have a setup that allows me to easily run out the flag,
and retrieve it at dusk.

Bring it ON !!!
These property speculators choose to treat their tenants without any respect,
they subject a young mother who is 8 months pregnant to unwanted stress.
I know what they paid for that property, I nearly purchased it myself at the time.
They will NOT make the profit they are expecting, in fact I predict a heavy loss.

Going back to the earlier campaign with the flag.
The Lady who purchased that house got a bargain, & she was a nice Scottish woman,
& Her Majestic Indoors really liked her.
so when she came to sell, NO Flag,
and instead a big clean up & tidy up of the front of my property
& she made a HANDSOME PROFIT.

Cool.

well I have been thinking a LOT about "Her M Indoors" lately,
I miss her, she was very good to me.
I was visiting the local residents a spart of campaign 1 ( drive the hoon tenants in taxpayer funded housing & get some replacements who can behave and appreciate the benefit they enoy; thanks to us taxpayers )
and the young chap (who will spend the rest of his life "in harness" with 3 daughters to raise ) told me about his wife,( 8 months pregnant and that for sale sign must have gone up in the last few days, so I think the stress has something to do with her suddenly being rushed to Hospital )
I came back home and was "talking to Her M Indoors, up in Heaven now " about it,
and the idea just came to me, about how WE had stuck together and punished the fool who insulted "Her M Indoors" all those years ago, and the nice little old Scottish Lady
who got a real benefit out of it all.
So I have this strong feeling that "Her M Indoors" would want me to punish the greedy property speculators who have shown no respect to a heavily pregnant young woman.

"Her M Indoors" could get extremely fired up about an injustice when she saw it occur.

oops typo's

should read " drive OUT the hoon tenants"
