Standing in line listening to this 20-something say, "I would have joined the military but they wouldn't take me for my eye sight. I wanted to fly planes."

What a dumbass.

When I enlisted (to avoid being drafted) I said I wanted to be a pilot. My eyesight wasn't good enough. I wasn't allowed to leave, just to choose another MOS. Chose intelligence and glad I did.

I tried to be a Marine after 1.8 years in JROTC. After a week in MEPS, I got permanently disqualified due to my kidneys. Could not pass a piss test, protein. I would have taken any assignment at the time. Edit, forgot the biopsy I had done in civilian hospital a few weeks later. Yeah, did not go well, felt like I got punched in the kidneys and had to spend the night in hospital.

That's why I called him a dumbass. There are four branches in the military, five if you count the Coast Guard. Not being able to be a pilot is not the same as not being able to join the military.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
