ORIGINAL: FatherFigureOC That was a thinly veiled hypothetical expressing intent to run me over and shoot me? I asked a foundational question, which you cannot answer a simple "yes" or a "no." The ball is in your court, homie. I won't validate such a paranoid question with a serious answer. If that boils your blood, stew in it. I couldn't care less. quote:
ORIGINAL: FatherFigureOC At this point Im guessing y'all are probably a full standard deviation lower in IQ than the general population. but thats just a guess. I dont like thinly veiled hypotheticals which involve harm to me. Your mind would be better of imagining other things and hurting and/or killing someone else. Oh, my heavens! Was that a threat??? Oh. the horror! Whatever shall I do??? Oh, the trauma of it all. I've been cautioned by an internet tough guy. How does one go on from such a life-changing event? quote:
ORIGINAL: FatherFigureOC "Rhetoric" involves making an argument, which you aren't. There is nothing rhetorical or persuasive about "what if" you ran me over and shot me in the back. If that happened, I would not have an opinion, now would I? You already don't; at least, not a coherent one. As for your feather-fluffing huff about the "rhetorical question" remark, I can't help noting the irony of someone who's so poorly educated they don't even know what a rhetorical question is casting aspersions out of the blue on someone else's IQ. quote:
ORIGINAL: FatherFigureOC Public safety often includes accidents. No man deserves to be shot in the back while prone. But the victim in this scenario would not have been in the position he was in if he were not a scofflaw and hooligan making trouble at the Fruitvale BART platform. This is a simple concept no one here seems to understand. Just a bunch of bloviating blowhards. Ah, yes, a "simple concept." As always, simple minds search desperately for simple answers to which to cling. You make the common conservative error of logic in assuming that because an idea is simplistic, it is by definition sensible. That's as far as you characters ever think anything through - "well, if it's easy to understand, it must be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." The world is a more complex place than your mind can imagine.
