dipso is funny.

It's an issue of compassion for a dead person and possibly his family. I'm not arguing the shooters legal rights.

The inability to see that 'fact' typifies PARF.

No doubt the was a 'dummy': it's dumb to attack a guy with a gun.

My kids do dumb things. I don't call them dummies.

PARF is like a fishbowl of abject personality disorders. Mostly bullies, but quite a few "little man complexes" and oh yeah, a whole lot of ignorance and bad spelling/grammar. Other than that, it's a nice place. :)

I like how all the PARFers come out of the woodwork to defend themselves on OT

I like it anytime the Parfessor comes out of the woodwork. It's always good for a laugh. I really mean that. You make this a better place.

I had to go back and read through that thread, to make sure I was accurate. I rarely unsuscribe, so I've been seeing an occasional snippet via email. That said, that "dead thread" degraded on page 3 less than 24 hours old. Yesterday, I did participate in a legitimate, serious discussion about LBOs (happened to catch my attention about something I've experienced first hand), and there you were with your political jabs about "leftists" or something. Sorry to insult you political domain (PARF playground) with serious opinions about a "business model" that I (and most Republicans I've worked with) find totally repugnant....off to PARF with this one too I imagine :)....

You hit those guys with facts they don't like and they respond like a mongoose backed into a corner.

You can just stop there because it's pretty rare.

You want the PARF? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE PARF!

:D

and don't forget the name calling - look at Rickie calling me names above for example

I am quite the name caller. Rest assured, "Parfessor" is an honorific. I can't get anything better than "lil' wickie" or "wanker," but then I'm a mere mortal and accept my lot in life.

In before this one is sent to PARF land!

Which will be in

3, 2, 1 .....

Yep.

Does it have to go to PARF just because someone is butt hurt? What political or religious issue is being discussed here?

Which do you mean:

1) Serious and intellectual discussion

2) Other

I sure can't handle much of option 2 :)

With that criteria...almost all of OT would be suspect.

OT isn't nearly as mean-spirited. In PARF there are a few that are just flat out rude. Then when called on it, the response is usually along the lines of "can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen" or "geez, no sense of humor." Easier to just find another place to hang out rather than put up with that. The chaff/wheat ratio is just way too high for my thin skin. Ymmv.

It is my opinion that PARF should be a place to sharpen the mind in a non-emotive way. If more of us did that, it would serve us all well. We, as a whole, are too permissive and passive.

It has been said time and time again, those who resort to name calling have lost the argument.
Now I don't mind a clever attack, but base crudity without even humour is conceding the match.

don't lie
