"So, you said 'the thing which is NOT the thing which you said it is.'"
OK, what did i lie about now?
Just tell us what your story is.
huh?
Probationary placemarker
Knock it off.
probabtion officer, since I have never been imprisioned it would be pretty hard for me to have a parole officer. I have never spent 1 second behind bars.
You know, JennyP and I never post at the same time. You do the math...
Your post #346 was pulled, which is why you believe you're on relatively stable ground. However, not all of us failed to keep a copy. Maybe you remember this little phrase:
I'm not on probation anymore... another assault charge wouldn't bother me... are you in MN?Ring a bell? Evidently, by your own admission, you've been charged with assault before (hence the use of the phrase "another assault charge"). You have also been on probation, whether because of said assault charge or from another charge is not apparent.
Please don't insult our intelligence any more.
Um, disregard the previous message.
Some of us legal system outsiders get this stuff confused.
It is confusing, though, how a fellow who never got arrested could have even a probation officer.
No. For many reasons, I stopped arguing with them years ago. It wasn't getting me anywhere, it wasn't making any impact with them, it cluttered up the board with threads having absurdly long replies and retorts, and only made enemies where none existed before.
Indoctrinated people often have a nearly unbreakable will to win. Fundamentalists are usually dangerous no matter what political or religious bent they come from. If you enjoy engaging them, it's really your own selfish little pleasure. Allow me to explain:
My general demeanor that I've developed over years of posting at FR essentially comes down to 'If you're not the person I'd feel comfortable with speaking to in real life for a few moments, I'm not going to spend any time with you in a digital forum'.
If I were walking down the street and some fundamentalist Christian tried to push a handbill off on me that explained that the world was 10,000 years old, and that Noah saved all the animals in the world by gathering up the Chinese Panda bears, American bald eagles, Australian wombats, African kudus, Middle Eastern dung beetles, Laplandic Elk, South American tapir pigs, lightning fast tiny green monkeys from the Amazonian rainforest canopy that spend their whole lives living up in trees that no elderly robe-wearing Jew from , Indian tigers, and tens of thousands of other geographically remote genus on the same boat before a flood came and wiped out everything on the planet, I'd do what any normal person ought to do: Regard them as utterly insane and keep on walking. I'm also not going to listen to their Bible study explanations about how the Bible doesn't say what it does in order to try to make it appealing to people who haven't been conditioned since childhood to believe those old Hebrew campfire tales. I'm especially not going to listen to some former meth addict on top of it all, as if I need some screw-up's keen advice.
So, if I'd do that walking down the boulevard, why would I seek to engage them in my spare time through the Internet? See, I wouldn't, so I no longer do. Maybe one day you'll get to where I am. You still seem to think that you have some battles to wage with them. I am no atheist, mind you.
What am I doing in this thread, you may ask? Well, I wanted to see the information about Stromatolite fossils. I admit that I kinda figured that a science post going over 500 replies had a holy war brewing in here, but the topic was interesting enough to me that I still clicked on the thread anyway.
Why was I charged with assault?
Because I almost killed a man for beating up a 16 year old girl.
Was that wrong? If presented with the same scenario I'd do it again.
God works in mysterious ways.
