But it’s not the individual citizens’ place to choose to deprive the police of an accurate statistical understanding of what’s going on.

Yeah, no. Fuck that and fuck the police. I will report (or not) whatever crimes I damn well please. I give fuck all about crime fighting statistics.

Respectfully.

Always ready to take a stand…against things never mentioned by anybody in said thread.

[LSLGuy]

Assuming you’re talking about DD …

Well if somebody can’t read and understand their own cites, it’s a good bet they can’t read and understand the thread they’re responding to any better. Which leads to rebuttals of imaginary arguments etc.

No kidding.

We really need a non-romanticized bio-pic about P.T. Barnum which features his purchase and exploitation of Joice Heth. This was the start of America’s adulation of conmen…and certainly not the end.

She was paid a LOT of $$-

Historian Eric Lott claimed Heth earned the impresario $1,500 a week, a princely sum in that era (equivalent to $47,000 in 2025).[9]

Does he think Heth was the impresario?

[ASL_v2.0]

Or, for that matter, even if she was paid a lot of money, that only just makes here part of the con. It doesn’t make it not a con.

So many levels of reading comprehension fail.

[LSLGuy]

More likely he thinks Heth was paid $1,500 a week by the empresario Barnum.

Lysdexia is read a thing terrible.

Or he’s just plain dumb. And always has been. No need for a fancy diagnosis.

[LSLGuy]

Could well be. The dyslexia idea just popped into my head.

In hindsight, Freud had some wacky notions of his own, but he was apocryphally right about one thing. Sometimes a dumbass is just a dumbass
