Why do some people do that?

I figure if you claim something then you have some solid proof that what you say is in fact passable?

Also why do people feel the need to lie on the internet? Its not like, in most cases, youll ever meet these people.

I wrecked a 1977 Porsche while going 10 MPH

I totaled a Honda Civic by hitting a black angus cow at 55 mph....on a 4 lane highway

I was on the front page of the newspaper appearing to be picking my nose

my grandfather was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in 1955.....and in 1957 set the world record for most golf holes walked in 1 day (126)

my daughter at age 2 yrs could point to every single state correctly ona map of the US that had nothing but black borders for each state....no words or anything else


ALL TRUE.........but can't prove em all.

Interesting eh?

Oh, my secret method to making millions on the Internet in just a few hours revolves around peddling junk that doesn't actually exist to people gullible and stupid enough to give me personal information. A lot of times, they're so ashamed to get fooled so easily, they don't even report it out of embarrassment. F'ing idiots.

Oh...wait...I shouldn't have posted that right under my inventory list... Whoops!

You've claimed no one on here has experienced true hate. Prove it.

Simple, if they have then they would know having a negative opinion of cops that dishonor the badge on their chest and go against the oath they took does not make one a cop hater.

And actually, I only claimed that the select few people who were throwing the word around recklessly never experienced true hate, or else they would know that something that would be trivial in comparison does not constitute true hate.

Im sure others have, but I was referring to the ignorant ones who used the term loosely specifically.

Another example, have you ever burned your hand on a hot stove? Yes or no, you do know that a hot stove is in fact capable of sever burns.

And I know youre trying to play coy, I get where youre coming from.

But if I ever act like LJ and ytown did with their straight up lying and bold claims with no evidence then that will be the day I leave here forever.

Because I dont have as much time to post here as other people?

Your statement doesnt really make sense since you dont know anyones posting habits or their real world schedule.

Let everyone know how this is relevant please.

I am still waiting for you to prove you posted two threads about good cops which you claimed you posted in a thread a few months ago. They should still be in the archive..so I will be waiting for them.

You are making a claim without any proof at this exact moment. Prove that people do what you are saying.

I believe I said my last two POSTS were about good cops, one was a thread I made and the second was a post in someone elses topic.
I remember saying this and you tried to spin it by claiming I said something I didnt......like you just did again.

Tusky, thats not the situation here. Not even close.

.....Actually no im not, the people who this is directed towards know full well what im talking about. If you want to be caught up though I can quote posts.

Short version: Ytown made a post a long time ago saying the he knows im black, when I told him for any sort of proof since 1, ive never even talked about myself in the capacity, and 2 it was irrelevant to the topic, he says "I remember it from on JJ" I said thats BS because no one knows what I posted under there. He replied "I have the memory like an elephant" so I told him to provide any sort of proof because he was full of shit.

Fast forward to yesterday, he tries to act like he was "trying to be nice" and he PMd me because "it was the courteous thing to do" then I quoted where he actually said that in a topic and not in a PM, catching him in his lie about trying to make himself look good. He hasnt posted since he was caught lying.

LJ next post.

And regarding LJ.....

Back it up please.
LJ;647197 wrote:See above and I never said that either
LJ;647197 wrote:BTW, way to make shit up.

Back it up please.
LJ;647197 wrote:About who my thread was about, about the meaning of indifferent and the meaning of hate

You made your own assumption and are trying to pass it off as fact. Dont do that. You came to the conclusion I hated cops, then used YOUR assumption to fuel your own agenda about the use of indifferent. That only makes sense to you. When I use the word hate, you will have a point, until then, you dont.
LJ;647177 wrote:Where did I say you attacked me for that?
LJ;647177 wrote:are you going to attack me for my opinion?

You ask me if Im going to attack you for your opinion on the basis of what exactly?
LJ;647177 wrote:You make this too easy
You did exactly what I said you would do. Like clockwork.

Back up your claims whenever you want.

He said those things, I simply asked him to back it up.

Then he started crying when I called him out, calling me stupid, saying I cant comprehend etc, typical shit people say when they are caught.

Oh and for the record, its not about something that you all do in your lives. I really cant believe people misunderstood the glaringly obvious point.

Its like the issue outlined above. IE someone claiming something of someone else, yet providing no evidence that the claims are true in any, then crying when the accuser is called out.

Ohhhh how quaint, my own personal e-troll.

How droll.
How glib.
How cute.

I have suddenly realized the pre-pubescent exhilaration experienced by NCF upon discovering the power he wields at the controls of a newly found marionette. I'll not be putting forth effort to prove anything to you. I know how fucking magnets work.

Dance for me puppet boy, dance!



Jesus H.....I, generally speaking of course, shy away from engaging in conversation that inevitably leads to a cluster fucked display of mental masturbation. Your sophomoric attempts at debate have proven juvenile and no longer entertaining to me, I toss you aside as though a piece of garbage. I'm, guilty. Guilty of bestowing upon you the basic elements displayed by a man, for that I apologize.

So enjoy your resurgent title of e-troll, you've earned it. I'll stop by occasionally to check on you for maintenance purposes only, until then, don't fuck up your strings

I Wear Pants pretty much hit the nail on its fucking head there boys. Read it, comprehend it.

My last 2 topics, lets not be semantics whores when we have nothing else to say. Dont be dumb lol.

Fat Hobbit, its painfully obvious what was being conveyed. The actions of one of the group doesnt make the whole group like that. Do keep up.
This is what you wrote. A topic sounds like a thread to me. So what were the two good topics? Prove to me that you wrote two good topics, posts, or threads, whatever the heck you might call it just to fit your argument.

ytown, its funny how you call me a troll when you were the one that tried to paint yourself in a good light by saying you were doing the courteous thing when that clearly wasnt the case. Whatever floats your boat lol.

And also ytown, I will ask how im a troll? Do I make posts like Capone clearly trying to rile people up? Proven juvenile? Ill ask you to back up that claim, but you wont. Remind me though, who was it that just said they were trying to do the "courteous thing"? Was that you? Whos juvenile?

No, you are calling me a troll simply because my opinion is different than yours. Thats the only reason, you were just caught trying to make something up yet you call me a troll? Riiiiiiiiight. What about the people that have agreed with me in my topics? Are they trolls as well?

Dont paint yourself in a corner then tuck tail and run like a girl.

Glory days, you can quote the post where I said last 2 posts as well. Like I said, are you really arguing semantics? Why are you bringing up the least relevant point while ignoring everything?

Is this the only thing you are going to hold on to? You quoted that post yet ignored all the others? Riight,

Its sad that all this is because my opinion is different than some of yours.

I guess everyone who agreed with me is the same way too right?
