gregaquaman fails to useful content to a discussion in The Armory

[QUOTE=ghost55;3061095]You being right about the need for body cams does not somehow absolve you of being hilariously out of your depth when it comes to discussing trauma care. There’s a difference between arguing about policy and arguing about medicine.[/QUOTE]

I was arguing with guys who’s experience in trauma care was that they had done a course. I never suggested anything outside my own experience.

I even said I wasn’t going to advise tornaquets because I never used them. I am not against them I just don’t like trying to bulshit people.

[QUOTE=W. Rabbit;3061098]New Jersey is largely lush, volcanic mountain range with fresh spring waters and mineral rich farmland. There’s a reason it’s called the “Garden State”.

It’s also naturally fortified, which George Washington used to win the Revolution, largely by using New Jersey’s formidable mountain ranges which are perfect for long range scouting and building defensive encampments.

And post-apocalypse, the gun laws all go away anyway. Best of all, I know the Watchung Mountain Nike missile base bomb shelters and tunnel network by heart. I could probably navigate that shit in the dark if I had to.

We will be free to rule and maraud the entire East Coast from defensible positions ripe for farming. Or, you can go to the Amazonian jungles. Your call. Lots of bugs down there, you know.[/QUOTE]

Yes. However New Jersey is also full of people that live in New Jersey.

The problem is you are arguing against people that have relevant training while not having the background to even understand what that is.

Arguing against people who have the training but no practical experience.

We generally call them Aikido black belts.

If their training came from a reputable source that’s good enough. You can get a fuckload.of medical training, but short of volunteering as a firefighter or seeking employment in EMS you will never use it more than a handful of times as a part of normal civilian life unless you work in an industry with a very high injury rate or you are intensely unlucky. Trauma care isn’t like judo or some shit. You can’t go to your local EMS dojo and stabilize open fractures for a few hours every week. That doesn’t make the training people receive any less useful or legitimate.

And Bruce Springsteen.

You’re thinking of New Yorkers who move to New Jersey.

You should become a trauma nurse, like my mother.

You’d be great at it, with your people skills and bedside manner.

Bruce Springsteen spends as little time in New Jersey as humanly possible and you know it.

He’s actually here all the time. He owns a horse farm and a home here, and his son Sam is a Monmouth County firefighter.

Sometimes I think your ideas about Jersey are straight out of a DC comic book.

You know Gotham City isn’t a real city, right?

I looked at Camden from a building in Philly once. That was enough NJ for me.

The view from this side is much better. We have our own battleship. We’ve camped overnight in it.

Camden is like Portland: a gross mis-characterization of the Great State of Oregon.

Of course the view from Camden is better. You’re looking at something that isn’t New Jersey.

Actually, that is literally the USS New Jersey.

And yes, that is my personal motto.

Yes. Even derivatives of NJ are an improvement over the original because the original could act as the dictionary definition for the term “rock bottom.”

And yet without NJ there never would have been an OR.

Think about that and get some rest, little wolf man.

Technically there wouldn’t be OR without slavery. You planning on defending that too?

Well, thank God you’re not wasting your precious time in Trollshido. Otherwise you’d be doooooooooooomed!

You realize you’re the forum joke for a reason, right?

This thread is actually worth something, unlike all your posts on Bullshido over the last 3 years.

A t-shirt makes a decent ad-hoc tourniquet (which is common sense), but it carries a significant sepsis risk (not common sense).

[QUOTE=W. Rabbit;3061190]This thread is actually worth something,[/QUOTE]

But not your contributions to it. Nor, really, to any other thread.

Lazy boasting and baseless bravado are not contributions. You’re like Ash, but without any of the charm.

Good, bad, you’re the guy with no gun.

LOL, “baseless”. I’m far more based than you, here and in the real world.

I know this because I’m not the one making Trollshido threads about you, and trolling all the threads you dare to post in.

You really should grow a thicker skin.
