Meh. He’s okay in my book. I disagree with his views, but I don’t have to share a house with him.
If you were actually reading the other posts in the thread, you’d know that he hasn’t been on good behavior for two months.
Do you require each person to explain the same thing to you?
He didn’t provide any links to Sampti recent behaviour. Someone who’s been here for over ten years knows to do that. And let’s not kid ourselves. He wasn’t referring to anything new. He was reading a two month old thread and bumped it to make an offhand comment.
Had he made that offhand comment two months ago when the thread was still relevant, nobody would have thought anything of it.
As far as I’m concerned, nobody thinks anything of it now.
How wedded are you to this narrative?
again, I wasn’t going to say anything until somebody else said something first.
It’s weird that you keep repeating this, as if you think it makes you look better.
It’s weird that you think I’m the only one who had a WTF reaction to Acsenray’s post.
I had to repeat myself because apparently you’re not reading all the posts. Or else you wouldn’t have made the moronic comment that I’m the only one that thought anything of Acsenray’s post.
I think you need to reread what I actually said.
Now that Smapti’s current asshattery has been brought to light, I’m formally rescinding my WTF. I’d prefer that this thread not turn into the Acsenray show.
I know exactly what what said: ‘As far as I’m concerned, nobody thinks anything of it now.’
Which I took to mean, you think I’m the only one who thought anything of Acsenray’s post.
Would you be so kind to tell me how I’m misinterpreting that?
good point. I’m done.
Oh, now THIS is rich: Smapti is now protesting about how organ donation is handled. Apparently, it should be a lottery system, because it’s somehow wrong to “condemn people to die, based on certain criteria”.
This from a guy, who’s such a miserable, low-life coward, he claims he wouldn’t even risk his own life to save his own child from drowning, that it was wrong to hide Jews from the Nazis during the Holocaust (because they were disobeying the law), now claims a LAW is wrong? Oh, what a sickening bastard.
The more I read from him, the more he disgusts me.
There is no contradiction in saying that a law is wrong and saying that you would obey the law anyway.
In the past you’ve been unwilling to say that laws are wrong, including Nazi laws that targeted Jews.
I don’t recall being asked if they were wrong - I was asked if I would follow them.
For the record, I believe that laws targeting Jews are wrong.
I asked you specifically if various things or laws were wrong, and you said you were unable to answer – the law was the only way to determine right and wrong.
In the sense that there is no objective right and wrong, yes.
I can tell you what I believe is right and wrong, but my beliefs don’t have any objective value.
At the time, you weren’t even willing to tell me your beliefs about whether they were right or wrong.
Bumping due to Smapti spreading his batshit insanity about how it is always wrong to break the law into another thread: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21530562#post21530562
IIRC, he hasn’t been this nuts (at least on this board) in a few years.
