You keep telling me this, but you are the one who feels the need to tell me what I'm 'missing' from my posts, and what I am 'implying'. You keep trying to take control by crying 'stop it' and declaring the thread over and dead. You can't control people that disagree with and that makes you crazy, so you dance around the quotes I am providing from your own posts, trying to make this about me and what you think my 'feelings' are. You compared me to a drunk, for Christ's sake. The facts are, and I CITE this entire thread as proof, that you are opinionated and obstinate and in love with the sound of your own voice. You can't see your self contradiction because you don't want to.
Again. Yes. It is INVALID.... ready... AS a Predictor or Proof. Sure you can offer it. SO WHAT? I offered Mine. Best case is a tie. Who cares? Why the hubris? Get over it. Let it go.
You can't discount my experience as invalid and then cite yours as proof. That's not debating, it's bloviating.
Now, see how, even when you totally "quote" things I didn't say, I reply? See that? I did not say "time bomb" You did.
No, you compared them to land mines, being continually whacked. Since whacking a land mine is a demonstrably foolish act, and you posit that adult dogs can be set off by unknown triggers and conditioning, I think my example is a more accurate portrayal of your opinion. Notice please that I did not use quotation marks or italics to imply that this is what you had actually said. I used plain text because it was MY summary.
Hello? I cited THIS article. I did not go a "look up some proofs". I said "this" article.
If you're using this one article as your proof, you're foolish. If you were actually citing the lengthy article which you posted in it's entirety in the same post, you're presumptous. I can only go off what you post.
Let me see if I can break it down for you.
This article, an adopted dog DID attack a child. Yes?
Then, ergo, that is A proof. That is what I said. It is. Man walking on the moon IS a proof that man has walked on the moon. Please!
Yes, it's proof that A man has walked on the moon. Not that all men will almost inevitably walk on the moon, and that to reduce our risk of men walking on the moon, we should stay away from men.
Post 103. Do you see that? Not my first post by a long shot. I told you. I answer questions. YOU ASKED ME. I did not OFFER it. I did not say it was Better than yours. I did not do anything other than chase your latest strawman and burn it.
Let me post this again so you can read it this time. I said ""Since you’ve discounted my opinion as useless and probably false since it’s based on my own personal experience, what do you base yours on?"
You said (my summary) "My experience".
I dismissed your personal experience without regard to your status is THE PROOF that your status was not a determinate. I dismissed your experience DE FACTO. Without regard to anything. Other than common sense.
No, you dismissed the experience of anyone who did not have children. Which includes you, but not me.
Again, I will say it. Just because your dog has not bit your children, has no other meaning, no other value, than... YET. That is all. Yet. YET YET YET.
Someday your dog MIGHT. Maybe they never will and here is hoping so. I said that too. Remember?
Yeah, he might bite. So might any other dog on the planet with teeth. Your assertion that his 'unknown triggers' make him more likely to bite are backed up by...Nothing.
Get it? YOU took... no... ARE TAKING this personally. You should not.
None of you. It is crazy and very unbecoming.
*snerk*
Go ahead you say? Go ahead and what? Convince you that I mean what I say and say what I mean?
As if hanging around here putting up with this abuse for 3 days isn't proof enough?
As if never once telling you go to #^#&@ yourself isn't proof enough?
As if not responding to those who insult my age, name, sex, hair color, breast size and intelligence and compare me to excrement isn't enough? Uh, no, I'm asking you to prove somehow that you didn't mean what you said. That bringing home an adult dog to a home without children is NOT tantamount to training it to attack and kill your children. Are you even reading what I post?
What kind of proof could I possibly offer which could be more convincing than to stay and reason, slowly winning over half of the most vicious crowd of angry self righteous people I have even encountered on this forum?
Well, you could convince me by displaying some actual capacity to reason, for starters. Using words in their proper context instead of like some TV addict with a penchant for legal shows would be awesome.
Go ahead yourself. Tell me. Tell me and everyone else reading this, how much MORE you demand before the blood lust will be sated.
Because you know what?
I will pay it!
Oh, honey, this isn't bloodlust. This is a slow weekend. I don't think you've ever seen me when I'm actually pissed off by someone's opinion. That's when I start breaking out the Monty Python references. The fact is that your opinion, though disagreeable to me, is slightly interesting. What is fascinating is your ability to maintain your utter conviction of superiority in the face of your own overwhelming inability to construct, defend, and remain constant to a single cogent point. You're so obsessed with how you enthrall people you can't go back and say "Hmm, I contradicted myself there. Maybe I was wrong." Once you learn how to do that, you knowledge will increase beyond your wildest dreams.
