Thread: Are people inherently stupid?

You posted about it... You need to support your post. You have done nothing so far to even attempt to prove that.

The marine handbook has a blank white page every 5 pages. I'm not going to support that fact though I just want you all to believe it..

I will tell you for certain that the items mentioned are labeled in the AF handbook as well.. However these items are not in there. Its a heritage/traditional belief.

While snopes stated that it is a myth. It also has sources that support that. Where are yours?

I was in Theater Deployable Comm for about 2 years. We had several tasks to do prior to establishing sat and radio comm. One of those tasks in which we trained on was how to mount antenna's to the top of a flag pole. In order to do so we had to take the ball off. At the 5 Bases I did this at there were no hollow finials. One of these bases was Cherry Point... A marine establishment if I remember correctly.

Anecdotes only count if DG supplies them. Find a better source.

So if I call two Marine friends, and my 3 family members that have over 50 years of combined Naval service, and all 5 tell me you are wrong then will you admit it, or will you just accuse them of knowing less than you?

I like this line from that book,

In combat, killing the enemy helps remove that threat to your life. The alternative of not killing the enemy
increases the likelihood that he will kill you.
