"You have yet to be right about a single thing."
Still, don't have what it takes to figure it out?

Usually one would point out all of the posts that I have been wrong about, as I have done with you on each point. In the liberal world you live in just saying something makes it true. Welcome to the real world, mental midgets do not last very long in a real world discussion.

Only a mental midget would think that having compassion for a dead person would "accomplishes nothing or worse encourages more of the ignorance that created the suffering in the first place."

Once again, the compassion I feel is defined as:

1. A deep awareness of and sympathy for another's suffering.

2. The humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it.

The words that are bolded are the ones you should pay attention to. The boy is not suffering any more (remember he is dead), the parents and loved ones are left to suffer.

But you go ahead and teach them a lesson by not being sympathetic or compassionate towards them, that is your right. That will ensure that we do not "encourages more of the ignorance that created the suffering in the first place".

Your are brilliant, no wonder your logic took the day in this discussion.

Your definition of compassion IS idiot compassion.

But you go ahead and teach them a lesson by not being sympathetic or compassionate towards them, that is your right.

I had no intention of teaching them anything. I'm not assuming that they are reading this thread.

That will ensure that we do not "encourages more of the ignorance that created the suffering in the first place".

Which is what you're conveying to those who are reading this thread.

I lost my sympathy for your ignorance when you lashed out with the foul mouthed ad-hominems. That made it clear that you like to wallow in it and nothing anyone could say will pry you away from it. There is no point in reiterating the same points over and over again to your long winded rewordings of the same ignorance. Once is enough for someone with minimal awareness. For you no amount of explanation will help.

You have explained nothing, except your flawed logic and inability to make a statement and stand up to it.

"Your definition of compassion IS idiot compassion."


Only an idiot could compare the two and come up with that conclusion.

"There is no point in reiterating the same points over and over again to your long winded rewordings of the same ignorance."


Obviously it is your ignorance you are referring to since those are the only points we have been reiterating.

Don't you have any substance to your spewing? You have been woefully unsuccessful in your embarrassing tirade which started by you indicating that I had "long since passed the point of abstaining from posting stupid comments."

That comment was also quoted from your first post to me, so I guess "foul mouthed ad-hominems" are a tactic you are familiar with.

"Once is enough for someone with minimal awareness."


As these posts have indicated, this must be referring to you. You are the one that has to have your own words recited back to you as you try to shift and squirm away from the idiocy you spew.

That is even more true of most public expressions of sympathy

maybe in your own personality but my public expression of sympathy for someone who loses a child that I don't know personally and regardless of whether it was a result of foolhardiness is beside the point....whether it be the lady upthread telling us of her own loss or this kid at Six Flags.

By your logic, it's fake if we tear up watching band of Brothers or seeing Reagan laid to rest.

I truly do not understand the stark coldness I've seen by thankfully just a few of you. It's scary to be honest if y'all really believe your own hype.

I don't know anyone like you guys in real life.

It’s not either/or.

One can lament accidental loss of young life as well as dying for one’s country.

I can do it at the same time.

That is not my logic at all. You are assuming it just as you assumed you know the hearts of those you are criticizing. By your logic it is in your personality that tough talk is nothing but talk. But your logic is totally flawed so don't think I'm criticizing you.

I truly do not understand the stark coldness I've seen by thankfully just a few of you. It's scary to be honest if y'all really believe your own hype.

You are right; you don't understand. If you think any of us is cold, or talking tough or hyping anything you have assumed things you want to believe about us. You have purposely missed the points being made because it doesn't suit your agenda. Which seems to be to make yourself feel good about yourself by putting down others. I'm sure you are quite familiar with that in "real life."

"I was quoting you wasn't I?"
You were quoting me saying I "have long since passed the point of abstaining from posting stupid comments"? Oh yeah, I see it now, and then in the following sentence where you were quoting me saying "In fact you worked one right into that statement". Sure, we all see that now.

You need to back away from the bong and go take a nap, things will be clearer when you wake up.

That is the best you have? You were quoting me making "foul mouthed ad-hominems" attacks on myself? Brilliant, I wish I had thought of that one. Does nothing shame you? That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen posted.

"You actually don't see it do you? Amazing!


No, no , we all see it, honest we do. It's the quotation marks that set it off. Oh, uh yeah, there are no quotation marks. But I'm really sure it's there.

"LOL"


What is your age? Almost 13 I would guess.

Yes, we can all see that in your first response to me.

The parent company needs to sue the sh!t out of Mom and Dad!

It's obvious you two are complete idiots, the evidence is your dead son.....another idiot.

The "Do not GO HERE!" signs are there for a reason.

He was 17 YEARS OLD.........no excuse, other than being an idiot.

Your idiot son choose to ignore those signs.

Sorry, no compassion here.

Gene pool clean-up in action.

And if Mom and Dad had any other children, put out an APB - "Moron on the loose!"

This conversation is about 2 young men that made a mistake and one of them was decapitated in the process. Saying that he’s a Darwin award winner is about as callous as it comes. Let it ride...

I didn’t say that. Ascribing words to me that I didn’t say is dishonest.

"Yes, we can all see that in your first response to me.
So let me get this straight, when I posted "I, as a caring human, can feel sympathy for the parents, and loved ones of a 17-year-old boy, and abstain from posting stupid comments in a forum without believing it is compassionate to kill the innocent unborn", I was actually posting to myself saying that I "have long since passed the point of abstaining from posting stupid comments"?

Then somewhere in there I posted to myself the statement that "In fact you worked one right into that statement".

Once again, your logic is flawless.

This now replaces your last post as the dumbest thing I have ever seen posted.

Time for you nap, things are getting confusing for you again.

No, this is about two idiots that climbed over TWO fences - not just one fence - or were able to happlessly wander into a danger zone - but TWO SIX FOOT fences.....

And those fences were replete with warning signs.

Warning signs that the average, intelligent person should recognize.

No way, bleeding heart, he did not make a mistake.....

He was just too friggin' stupid to realize he was commiting suicide.

How can you justify your defense of this idiot?

This thread evolved into a young man losing his life into who can argue the best point to prove why. It is nonsense. Nothing personal.

This thread evolved....

Because of you trying to defend the indefensible.....

The fact that the kid died at 17 is sad.....

But with logic like that (2 fences, warning signs, etc.) he probable would not have made it very far, now would he?

The thread devolved into that long before I posted on it. I usually respond to every post to me unless they get amazingly tedious. Even when they contain little more than jr. high insults. When they do I don’t attempt to elevate them to a level the poster isn’t capable of conversing on either. But it is personal when someone puts words in my mouth that are nowhere near what I have said or think.
