Oh yeah, extra fuckhead points for your fictitious quote.
The fully automatic weapons surprised the hell out of me too. I readily acknowledged that detail might be family embellishment. It’s irrelevant to the overall point which I was trying to get back to.
Did we ever establish what city this occured in?
That’s not asking for a whole lot is it?
Your friend doesn’t want to give details and doesn’t care who believes him or not fine. But doesn’t it throw an immediate flag up when you can’t even get the most basic piece of info of the event?
Friend: “I just saw a UFO blow up a Wal-Mart. Then they took all the surviving customers as captives. Except those driving Chevys.”
Me: “Really? Where was this at?”
Friend: “Details?!! You want fucking details??!! Fuck you for not believing me. I don’t have to prove nothin to no one. My point still stands though, drive a Chevy or get abducted.”
Which is that if you fail to kill bad guys who drop through skylights carrying machine guns while staying at a HoJo’s, bad MoJo’s bound to happen.
Got it.
woodstockbirdybird, where’d ya go?
You established pretty well what you thought of my calling bullshit on your bullshit story in the OP and in your reply to my first post in this thread when you said
And in the thread about Mr. Ersland you went off:
I did google for the story with the details you provided, and there’s nothing. Zero. Zilch. But you didn’t give me the benefit of the doubt that I tried to find a verifiable source, you just started calling me illogical and unreasonable, then you jaunted off to the Pit, where you continued to froth at the mouth.
In fact, you’re still frothing at the mouth about this, rather than just find a fucking cite for your bullshit story. Shit, you prolly made up having a friend too.
Hey, don’t underestimate Asia’s lucrative lobby black market. It’s got tiger parts beat a mile.
Always make sure your lobby is well-secured with a quality lock.
Fuck off, bitch, I’m not sitting at the keyboard awaiting your instructions.
Let’s look at the quote again, since you actually posted it again without reading it:
“If I win the lottery (highly unlikely) is it more or less likely that a relative would die, leaving me a large inheritance, Elizabeth Banks would bump into me at the mall and fall madly in love, and my terminal cancer go into spontaneous remission, all on the same day?”
Obviously, retard, he’s saying is it more or less likely that all that other shit would happen on the same day he won the lottery, especially since he’s using it to illustrate the idea that the OP’s unlikely scenario has way too many other unlikely elements than just the basic premise.
Now let’s look at his response to your question, which you seem to think proves the exact opposite of what it does:
“Of course I can. But winning the lottery and all of those other things happening on the same day is much less likely than winning the lottery alone. Being in a highly unlikely category doesn’t mean that other highly unlikely things suddenly become more likely.”
He spells out for you right there that he’s talking about those things occurring on the same day as winning the lottery. As with most fools, you read things in a manner that confirms your own beliefs, rather than logically surmising what’s clear from the text.
No, I wasn’t.
More or less likely? Than what? Give up on English, try pig latin maybe.
More or less likely than simply winning the lottery, moron. I think I already said it twice in my previous post.
When you say “more or less likely” you are comparing two situations.
**Red Fury’**s newpaper link gives good (but not conclusive) evidence that the pharmacist is a nutjob. Or irrational. Or a fanatic.
That was the majority opinion in the various threads about the shooting, and seems to be increasingly validated as the story unfolds.
Cosmosdan’s story about rape and gunplay was treated as being very likely a fantasy by most posters. In this thread a search of crime archives reveals no supporting evidence.
So, I have to say that it’s looking like Cosmosdan and Jimpatros have some problems recognizing reality on the issue of self-defense with guns.
I’m sorry that your friend is unwilling to provide a city and and approximate year of the occurrence. Maybe he doesn’t want people on an internet board knowing his brother’s name (from the articles about the crime.) I can understand that, because while someone might be brave enough to stand up to multiple criminals with fully automatic weapons, they might not like publicity.
“The spirits will not manifest themselves, because they sense your skepticism. Mr. Houdini”
Yeah, right. Uh huh.:rolleyes:
Dumbshit, you made up a quote to support your ignorant stance.
No shit. He’s comparing the situations of winning the lottery AND winning the lottery plus all that other stuff.
Good one. Have a couple more beers and maybe you’ll work yourself up to “You suck!” or “Show me your tits!”.
Holy fuck you’re stupid, jimpatro.
You’ve got to at least acknowledge that the left wing press is against guns. It’s rare that they report on the legitimate use of guns in self-defense.
Thanks, dewd. Run off and get stoked or something.
Show us your tits. The ignorant imbecile is never alone. Even when he is. Hence the vernacular.
