Why do you guys even bother responding to him?:/\\!!

TarJak 12-20-13 08:45 PM

Largely for fun. But occasionally for more serious reasons

Madox58 12-20-13 09:28 PM

I'm afraid it's becomeing a hobby of sorts, now that you mention it?
:hmmm:
Kind of like pokeing a stick into the side of a possom to see if it moves or not.

They try to stay away but it's an addiction. They just can't resist. :har:

Sometimes Bubble reminds me of the Black Knight in the Monty Python "Holy Grail" film: he gets hacked away at by the forum members until he and his arguments are stumps and the he tries to bite you as a final resort...


<O>

The simple fact of the matter is....some can't resist the temptation.

Thanks for reminding me of the cheer I learned in elementary school, fifty years ago:

"Ra, ra ree! Kick him in the knee! Ra, ra, rass! Kick him in the other knee!" :O:

I think we all went to that school.:haha:
That chant is right up there with nana nana boo boo...

Don't pick on Bubblehead please. It's unprofessional.:03:
He probably subscribes to the same mantra I do...
It's ok if we disagree, I can't force you to be right.:arrgh!:

Bubblehead1980 12-22-13 03:41 PM

Ah, where to begin. I've explained my position on things pretty clear.Instead of responding, my usual opponents/detractors on here choose to TRY and take remarks I have made out of context and use them against me.Funny thing is, they proved nothing, was not a touche moment or anything, simply try to make things I have said mean something completely different than what I meant.I have clarified and explained, but for several of them, I could say something they totally agree with but they would disagree, because it is personal for them and that is fine.This is not personal for me as far as members on this board, exception maybe being tribesman but have learned to just treat him like the goober from Duck Dynasty, just ignore and try to be understanding.Actually, I recall we did agree on something once lol.

The Ethan Couch sentencing is an argument where I do not mind being in the minority because the mob, the majority want him in prison, those of us who have thought it over, understand this was not murder, understand the elements of murder, the legal reasoning behind the sentence etc ,see that probation is appropriate in this case, for this defendant.

I responded, and you ignored. You still choose to ignore.

Why is it personal? Do they disagree with your views and make it personal? They don't do that to others. Why you? Is there something special about you that they just have to hate? Or do the things you say and the way you say them lack credibility, which prompts people who also really to think for themselves to see that whatever your opinions, your arguments are consistently lacking?

I've tried to point out to you many times that the latter is at least as likely as the former, but you still don't get it. Nobody makes it personal. Nobody even cares. It's your failed arguments that they attack. Of course people slip into humor, because when you express yourself poorly they can't take you seriously.

And there's where you do it again. You don't mind being in the minority, because anyone who disagrees with you is "the mob". You accuse others of insulting you, yet you smear anyone and everyone with the same huge brush. Unlike you, "The Mob" doesn't think for itself. That sounds nice on broadband, but you are also saying Tarjak doesn't think for himself. Tribesman doesn't think for himself. Do I think for myself? Am I "The Mob"?

You have stated your opinion, which is good. The problem is that as usual you don't see that the way you state it is everything. The problem is that you don't sound like you have a trained legal mind. Most of your posts make you sound extremely opinionated, somewhat in the vein of Archie Bunker. People who are capable of arguing properly are aware that they might be wrong, and are actually willing to be swayed by proper arguments. That you don't sway anyone is due to the fact that you come across as convinced of your own rightness, therefore anything you say tends to be condescending. You act as though you believe your are right in everything you say, therefore people should sit up and listen to you. The problem there is that you rarely say anything in a manner that makes people want to listen to you. You may dismiss that as not your problem, but in fact that is the problem you have here, every single time.

Maybe others are right. Maybe you need to find a political forum where everybody is like you - shouting about their own rightness and blaming everybody else but themselves.

However.
Bubbles, can you point out the people who want him tried for murder
?
You say that you in your wisdom can see it was not murder, where are these people who cannot see the light which you see.

Once again your own words screw you, you introduced murder because as a "legal expert" you didn't understand the valid reckless endangerment comparison which someone else introduced:doh:
