One would hope, wouldn't they? Well, here is an experiment that my father taught me. Poop in one hand, and hope in the other. Tell me which one fills up first.

Secondly, immature people inhabit all levels of employment in this country. Like I said, it is part of human nature. Do we fire them all? And besides, who decides what is immature? What if the person in charge of deciding is immature himself? How in the world do you expect your way of doing things to be implemented in an inherently imperfect world made up of imperfect humans.

You seem to be showing a good bit of immaturity by insisting on perfection when you should know good and damn well that such a thing is necessarily impossible.

What do you do when someone is pointing a gun at you? Stand and recite that they should not be doing that and take your best right-fighter pose, like you are here, or do you take cover and otherwise defend yourself? The question is vital to your point. Do you deal with REALITY or do you insist that reality change to meet your point of view on a case-by-case basis, in the heat of the moment? I prefer to deal with reality, and have made it clear what I would have done in don-o's shoes. You would likely still be in custody, for no good reason at all.

As to your question of when rights are important, they always are. But where were don-o's rights violated? If you cannot prove that they were violated, your entire point falls apart. I contend that his rights were not violated. Prove that they were, your argument depends on it really...JFK

“You seem to be showing a good bit of immaturity by insisting on perfection when you should know good and damn well that such a thing is necessarily impossible.”

And you seem to be reacting in a very defensive manner because you have a weak argument. Not demanding perfection, I am demanding that our rights be respected.

“What do you do when someone is pointing a gun at you?”

Oh so now the cop was drawing down on him. Musta thought Don-o was a mirror.

“As to your question of when rights are important, they always are. But where were don-o’s rights violated?”

Lost the argument so now you are deflecting.
