this is a refrence to catch 22, about a bomber crew member who cant get out becous wanting to get out is a sign of sanity, whilst wanting to fly insianity, meaning that the moment you try for a medical discharge on the ground of insanity your deamed sane becous your trying to get out.

the famuse catch 22.

theres other stuff in the book too, but ive never read it, rather, absorbed it threw culterl osmosis.

Keep it up! :D English spelling is *so* not phonetic.

By the way, would one of those speech-to-text things help??

haveing tryed to use one (dragon speak...something) i can say no. it was bloody awful XD.

and the english langue is so full of words that i try to spell and wind up having to look for synonimose for becous the words spelling is so hopelessly complex compared to how it sounds.

dragon naturally speaking is one of the better ones.

You are not a native speaker? That makes more sense.

If someone is dyslexic it doesn't matter how much harder they try. Give the guy a break.

It was never mentioned that they were dyslexic.

I just came in to the community. I've read back a few pages in the archive, and there's no mention of that.

I'm not an asshole.

You want red pill to include a disclaimer with every post/reply just in case?

Now you know. So now you can STFU about it.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
"That's some catch, that Catch-22," Yossarian observed.
"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Didn't you see Bill Kristol on the Daily Show last night? He tried to insult the VA at first, and then ended up admitting it's some of the finest, most efficient care in America. OOPS.
