    I was a kid during the era when people were obsessed with nuclear war. Not the early 60s, the other such era: the 80s.

    I also find all that stuff interesting. Only a very surface knowledge of the politics, but stuff like Threads interests me grimly.

    how much is a nuclear bomb?

    Someone else who disagrees with free markets? Nice.

    Funny thing is, I agree with them, and am probably more of an ardent supporter of them than most of the people I debate with :)
    Depending on how selectively you look at my views and peoples own political tint, I can appear as a raging capitalist, or a raving communist (though the former views don't get to have much airtime in debates I'm in - ideally I'd support zero corporate tax with greatly limited income tax - but that's impossible in the EU).

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,674 ✭✭✭Dangerous Man


    My name comes from a generic video game character in WWE v RAW (I think.) When you created your own wrestler you had a choice of names which were all pretty naff. I picked 'Dangerous Man' for some reason. His signature move was a kick to the groin. When he did his signature move, the announcer, Taz, or the other guy would yell 'KICK TO THE GROIN! KICK TO THE GROIN!' as though kicking someone in the groin was somehow spectacular.

    The effect was spectacular though.

    Other reason is that I'm a clumsy bastard and have been pretty dangerous to myself down the years. Kind of fits.

    It's in homage to ladies with beards. I worked with one when I worked in Pret A Manger in Edinburgh during the Summer and Autumn of 2005.

    You think yours is awkward, I didn't realise my username was a euphemism for a penis until someone else pointed it out to me (the euphemism I mean, not their penis).

    I still have both eyes, only one of 'em actually works though, hence the name ;)

    My name is Cian and years ago when I used to play Xbox Live Americans kept calling me every name under the sun except Cian some examples include.
    SeeAnn
    Clan

    It wrecked my head so I came up with Keyinn so they could pronounce it properly ! And I've used it as a username for pretty much everything since !

    I have an obsession with wrestling. It just felt like if I ever got to wrestle for a local promotion I'd get one of these generic wrestling names like carlow bruiser or carlow smasher or carlow hammer or something else which conjures up images of ruthless aggression yet at the same time subtly reminding the audience of the geographical location whence I'm from...

    It means someone else had the one I wanted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,306 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    When Halflife multiplayer first came out, I used to play it in a local LAN cafe. I used to run into a room where I knew the enemy was, after I had pulled the pin on the grenade. One of the enemy called me a "syco", and the name stuck.

    I give up. What does your name mean? It's been annoying me for months but it seemed a bit inelegant to just ask you apropos of nothing. I was praying you'd post in this thread so I'd have an in. Explain it! I hate not getting things!

    Cool name.

    Free markets rock though, let the strong prosper and no protectionism.

    This fosters evolution based on the Darwinian principles of natural selection - which have served us well till now.. Would you rather we hadn't evolved to be sentient beings having a discussion via the internet?

    It's used by a few different people online for various things. So it's not just me.

    It has meaning. It references my spiritual side. But it's also used by others online so it's not too identifying.

    Also I am a lady. I treat people with respect and expect it.
