Stop being a jackass. 3' to 4' can easily be justified as "wall height" (ever heard of a retaining wall in landscaping?) and obviously depending on where anyone was standing and the way the water was funneled by the land mass, buildings, etc. it could easily have been quite a bit more.

No one needs to over-sensationalize anything as the videos taken by news and laypeople clearly show devastation beyond description.

Jeebus Criminy Crisis this has to be the most ridiculous friggin' debates I have ever seen on GFY.

wtf are you calling me a jackass for you pompous fucking prick. besides, you left out some bullshit reference to you being in newsweek 20 years ago you fucking shit stain.

fuck off you fucking jack ass

amazing how insecure someone can be that they feel threatened by something as arcane as this discussion.

jesus fucking christ.

dyna mo you've lost it. you don't have to be a doomsayer that this shit is chaotic and most likely will get worse in ways we can't imagine.

is this reporter reporting a retaining wall size wall of water destroyed this town you fucking dim wit shitstain? no, fuckwad, he is saying a 35M wall of water did. that's not how the water comes in not to mention, 35M. now fuck off

"Japan tsunami: '35m wall of water flattened whole town'"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12731631

Stop being a fucking moron dyna mo.

take your meds and don't get so involved & concerned about other's views over such important topics such as what a fucking wall is.

Ok goofball, keep ranting... I did see a wall of water in some videos that looked easily that height... doesn't mean everywhere but obviously geography has everything to do with how high or low the water goes into a wave. No less meaningful to the devastation though.

And by the way... we were just in two mainstream magazines (New York and San Diego magazines in unrelated pieces) plus contacted by a CBS news affiliate in a major market (LA) about an upcoming piece so take your yammering hater crap to WiLLoser76 since he will agree with you...

And you may not be a jackass every day, but on this thread, yes, you are being a jackass.

I am free to call em like I see em.

JACKASS. :321GFY:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm not concerned. You however seem to be fairly insistent on what constitutes a fucking wall of water and what doesn't. Seems to me you need a fucking hobby or something. So let's just go ahead and call it a swath of water. Satisfied?

Let it go already, jesus fucking christ.

hey shitstain, i'm trying to recall what grade it is when kids typically call another names when they have a different understanding of a term. seems to be about 3rd grade. so enjoy coloring in your color book, try and stay inside the lines.
hey, you're the one that took my comment and ran with it. i simply stated my view, you took it from there.

so tell yourself let it go, not me.

because your "view" was that of an idiot arguing semantics.

amp, you of all people should realize you are the last person to be calling ANYONE else an idiot.

and why is that oh enlightened one?

shitstain, post one single video of a 30' wall of water in this event and i will stand corrected.

otherwise, you are being your typically shitstain pompous asshole self.

umm, because you aren't an idiot yet when you post one of your out there views other gfyer's disagree with, they are quick to call you one.

i'm surprised i have to point that out to you, maybe i was wrong.

what does that have to do with anything? You do realize I could give less than one shit about what goes on in this shit hole messageboard, right?

my bad, i assumed that after being called an idiot so frequently, you developed some level of understanding that calling someone an idiot simply because they have a different view is wrong.

it appears i should not of assumed that, oops.

i'm just here wasting time dude. I really don't care about anything that goes on here.

but I won't be here much longer. Maybe a few weeks then i'm out.

Ok, you are calling me names which is different than me saying you are behaving like a jackass in my initial post so actually when it comes down to grade school name calling - you got me beat...

shitstain>jackass in terms of profanity name calling any day of the week.

Aren't you the one posting pics of your six pack abs? And you think I am the one with an ego problem? Why don't you go hang out the TheSituation and get hard looking at Fitness magazines until you are finally able to come out to your friends and family.

Any one that has actually met me can weigh in on whether or not I have ego issues. Just because people like you are jealous of anyone that has actually accomplished something noteworthy doesn't mean I have a bloated ego it just means that you have jealous hater insecurity issues.

So stop grousing and just realize that you made a retarded point and move on. You really don't have to become a jackass just because you acted like one for a brief instance. I will be the first person to admit that possibility as I have acted like a jackass on more than a few occasions myself.

i'm not worried in the slightest. i play to the level peeps play with me. poke me i poke back. call me names, i'm happy to go tourrettes syndrome back. who cares.

i'd of been more than happy to have a different attitude and adjust my definition of what a wall is in terms of a tsunami but when peeps come out firing, i'll fire back. that's gfy.

i am gay so your attempt to insult me with your in the closet comment falls on deaf ears. although it does reveal more about you than me, esp. for being a pornographer.

and when you are 46 year old diabetic that takes responsibility for his health to the degree i have and is happy about that, you'll know what it feel like. in the meantime, you're a fuckign shitstain.

i also find it incredibly ironic that you try to insult me by inferring i'm a closet fag when you are the one noticing my nice bod/6 pack and commenting about that.

too funny.

psst! dude you're giving the rest of us a bad name :anon:offtopic

There's nothing to see here folks back on topic :GFYBand:kisskiss:GFYBand

i'm giving you a bad name because i have a certain understanding of the word "wall" or because i stick up for myself on a message board?

do you really tie your self-worth to how a poster named dyna mo views a wall?

srsly?

This is exactly what keeps going thru my head... humans are humans and it's horrible regardless. Just blows my mind the destruction mother nature can cause!

No no no it's just that your avatar has a six pack and mine is kinda ghostly white with my arm stretched out is all :helpme

Maybe I should focus on my other career

Behave, kids ...

Just watching the videos of people trying to outrun the wave in their cars but then getting stuck in traffic or dirt roads or whatever and getting out and having to run for it. It's like scenes from a Hollywood blockbuster. I wonder how many made it.

Well I definitely apologize. I have no problems with folks that are out. I just have issues with people that live lies about their sexuality. So if you came out and are proud of your gayness then I applaud your standing up for it and setting an example for those that are still living a lie.

However, I do still have to say that it is very narcissistic to brag about your abs so that kind of still suggests that you are a jackass from time to time. Whatever, I am sure all the folks at the gym are envious of you... including me...



Ok.

you talk about abs like they're a possession like a ferrari. that's your 1st mistake. your 2nd mistake is taking the fact that my accomplishing something and sharing how i did so is bragging. i lost a lot of weight, and like many others around here who share their successes, i shared mine and ended up helping others in their efforts to lose weight and continue to do so this day.
and i have been thanked time and time again for my helping others with their health & fitness goals via the thread.

Homegrown Video, never too proud to apologize when apologies are due
 

aha.. .then that is where you and I certainly agree...

Any success based on action and accomplishment that you have personally achieved is worthy of BOAST -not bragging - boasting, Beowulf style. Yes, it will make others jealous, meaning those braggerts that only have hollow accomplishments and little of anything of merit to speak of. So, when I speak of our media it is a boast, but it is not bragging and it is not because I am so full of myself, it is simply what has been done and is no where near as important as what is yet to come - the next challenges, the future of dragons that must be slain, because anything previous is simply past accomplishment, nothing more, nothing less.

I am sorry for calling you a jackass earlier. I actually don't think you are a jackass as a person and many times have seen your wit and witticisms and knowledge here and felt you are truly a stand up guy. I just thought your comments about the tsunami were out of place and out of character. That's all.

You know if we ever met I would be the first to buy you a... well not a beer since that would go straight to your stomach... but you get the picture.:winkwink:

WAIT! You're Gay right? How did you loose all that weight?

i appreciate this and I apologize as well for calling you a name and all. just like your being proud of your accomplishments such as being featured in a major mainstream magazine and mentioning that, i am as well with mine. i am glad we see eye to eye on that.


also, my thoughts on what a wall is were sincere, i simply don't/didn't see it as a wall. i understand about retaining walls and honestly did not think of that initially.

but the fact is that the media is reporting 30+' tall wall of water and i don't see it happening that way in the videos. can a wall be 3-4'? yes, i was not thinking of a retaining wall sort of situation, just clarifying in my mind the reports of 30' walls of water and a hollywood-type image of that.

peace.

i've lost ~37 pounds, mostly by eating fewer calories than i burn. hell, i lost the 1st 20 lbs eating only tv dinners but still less cals than burned.

i've also added about 10 lbs of muscle.

i don't worry about low carb, low fat, whatever. exercise will add to losing weight but it will come primarily from your diet.

the leading edge is not as deep as the main wall. duh.

finally! someone gets my point.

You guys gonna give each other some tongue now or what.

Yep, I get where you are coming from... most news media these days is straight up fear mongering hype that should never be trusted.

On the flip side though... I am pretty sure both of us would not be debating jackdiddleyshit if we were standing there and saw the concrete wall from a six story office building floating at us at in a wave (even a "wave" about 1' foot tall) and still moving inland over 100 miles per hour...

And by the way...

I don't want to sound like a queer or nothing...

but I am totally jealous of any guy with abs like that. :winkwink:

why is anybody even responding to dyna_shitstaine ?

:Oh crap

Since you happen to suffer from not being able to tell that the shots in video #1 were taken from air, thus making everything seem SMALL, go rewind here:

3:00 - that's a canal/river. Banks of those are usually 4-6 feet high. At least. That got engulfed in seconds. 3-4 feet of water would NOT have done it. It would have merged with the canal.

3:26 - Yes, that's a big boat surfing at the top of the screen. 3-4 feet my ass.

WAIT! You're not Gay?!

such destruction in a matter of minutes

i've never fucked with you, fuckwad, go troll elsewhere.
i don't suffer from jack shit. and i certainly don't suffer from pointing my finger at someone because they have a different perspective on something. and obviously you are too big of a dipshit to see that the water is not above the cars in the video.

so, you too, fuck off, dip shit.

more for you dipshit. stick this video up your ass, along with your fucking head.

You just posted a video completely negating your stance. The water level grew and wiped out houses, all vehicles, etc.

Their was clearly a surge of over 20' at the heart... then it trickled, causing mass destruction and death. I think you need to go to bed and pray for those that have died while you type nonsense :2 cents:

no, i did not. did you read the thread? did you watch that video? i don't think so.

i never said the water did not surge, in fact, i fucking said it did surge earlier. and the video clearly shows a leading edge of water.

you rly can't see the white van driving in front of a leading edge of water @ 17 seconds and more of the front edge a few seconds later? srsly? u can't see that?

I thought you were belittling the fact that a "wall" of water hit?

I thought you were saying that it actually wasn't that bad. No I only read bits and pieces of this thread but everytime I read your response you were eluding that it really wasn't that big and shouldn't be defined as a "wall of water". Also eluding to that it was "not that big of deal".

No? Am I wrong with my spot checking reading of your retardedness?

dear dipshits, here is your wall of water-

i challenge any of you dipshits giving me shit to post a similar picture of a 30' wall of water.
