^Just in case you decide not to read my pm, your new thread has been locked. It happened after I reported a post for making fun of your thread, in the Parroty Thread, while said person was posting in your new thread.
The post I reported for making fun of your thread, remains untouched.
False equivalency at its finest.
Only the lines you’ve connected in your mind could lead to such a conclusion.
Yeah, because I’m the only one crazy enough to believe that a politician could do something just as illegal as any normal person could do, LOL.
Hillary Clinton stole classified information, fled the country, and intentionally disseminated it to news organizations?
You consider their alleged crimes to be “just as illegal”. This is a false equivalency because 1) if Hillary were guilty, it would be of some form of negligence (willful or not), not treason, and 2) Hillary hasn’t been charged with a crime even after extensive FBI investigation, no matter how much you wish she had been.

Did you try to misinterpret what he was saying? I don’t know where any of that came from.
Yes. This represents a pattern of behavior. I don’t know if it’s a debate tactic to shift the goalpost and therefore his argument or just an obtuse misreading of the facts.
How do you know it represents a behavior if you don’t even know whether it’s a debate tactic or an obtuse reading? We differ in opinion on their matter of guilt and this is what you come up with?
😦
I’m going to try to make this alot easier, I have a VCR/DVD recorder combo, so I will record each episode (I have completed the first three), it will take a while as I will try to do at least 3 per week. But when I get them all onto disc, there is no loss in picture quality from the orignal VHS and it will be much better/easier/cheaper to ship discs instead of dozens of VHS tapes. Also, after watching the first 3 again, I can give you a bit more details on the recordings: Some of the episodes were recorded with the original commercials, others were recorded with most of the commercials cut-out in order to fit two episodes onto one tape using SP mode (I used extra-long tapes for some of them). So it is not 79 tapes it is probably about 45-55 tapes. Also, I cannot find one of the tapes that had both ‘The Cage’ and ‘Turnabout Intruder’, I have looked for it everywhere so I am hoping it will turn up. These tapes have been sitting around for years since I moved across country back in 2010, but if those two episodes remain missing it would be great if someone on here had them.
May I ask what make and model combo it is? My personal preferrence is stand-alone machines. My AG-1980 SVHS has it’s own TBC and helps give the tapes a better life than what you’ll get from a combo machine of any kind

Did you think that maybe Jay and I just see it differently and that my answer had nothing to do with what you seem to think it does? I do not believe it to be a false equivalency, Jay does, no big deal.

If it bothers you, practice not taking things so personally, or don’t be around those who bother you.
It is the lack of control over the issue that makes me mad. There are avenues but past experience says it will do me no good.
Don’t try to control the issue. Control yourself. If you can’t control your emotional reaction, control your exposure to the offense. Darth Id used to really bother me. But this is the cold Internet, people act rude, and I decided I don’t care if he insults me anymore. Usually, I ignore him, but when he does try to insult me, I just don’t let it get to me. Ignore what you don’t like, or get away from the situation. You are clearly a nice guy, but you let too much bother you, and try too hard to control the direction of the forum. Accept what you can’t control, and control what you can, and you will be a lot happier here.
Thick skin, thick skin, thick skin, no-one cares, I’m never right, move along, got it.
This persecution complex is why you don’t enjoy yourself here and is why people get annoyed. Honestly I thought you were doing great until you happened to notice an almost two week old comment.
I’m doing okay. There is no persecution complex and my doctor is the only one I go to for diagnosis of anything. Warbler got me bent out of shape yesterday because he was in a bad mood and due to my emotion, I was aparently the best candidate for him to lash out at. It’s done, it’s over with. I appreciate your concern.
I sorry I crossed a line a bit, but to get this bent out of shape over what I said to you, is way, way, wayyyyyy, overracting. Calm down.
I am really sorry about your friends misfortune warbler.
thankyou.
I do however need to distance myself from you because like some others, you just don’t know when to stop, and act like it’s all okay even though you’ve just asked for prayers in another thread.
if you want to distance yourself from me, fine. My asking for prayers for that family as nothing to do with our dispute in the 2nd politics thread. People in my church has asked for prayers for said family and so I thought it would be a good idea to ask those here that pray, to do so. The two situations just happened to occur simultaneously.
It isn’t okay. I end up creating my own issues trying to defend myself because I am the only one speaking for me. Most don’t bother, others start complaining about me along with you afterwards, and the rest … well, I’ve been told that what I think doesn’t really matter.
I really wish you had not let the stuff that went in the 2nd politics thread yesterday get to you so much. It isn’t worth it. I am not worth getting this upset over. I sorry if I crossed the line, but I can’t stand Trump and those that seem to defend him no matter what. I never said what you think doesn’t matter. Heck, even if it didn’t matter to me, that doesn’t mean that overall it doesn’t matter. I don’t get to decide such things.
You can’t be all religious/righteous on one side and then mean/ignorant on the other. If you believe you’re a decent person then be a decent person but if you believe you’re not, then don’t act like a decent person, be who you really are.
I’ll act how I wish to. If you want to think I am a lousy Christian, so be it. I admit I am not the prefect example of a Christian. I am what I am. My ultimate judge will have to decide in the end.
What I think doesn’t matter. You’ve been taught that it’s okay to act the way you do. If I reported you, it wouldn’t even matter, I am getting what I deserve by some trains of thought here. You may rationalize it however you like, it makes no difference to me, that is just how it is.
The fact of the matter is, even the new rules can not change, what has already been in place here for so long.
Since you probably won’t listen to or understand me, and probably won’t/can’t discuss this rationally, there is no point in continuing this conversation with you.
If you could show me some basic respect and a real interest in a discussion, I’d be willing to listen. This is not the experience I am familiar with when I have dealt with you. That is why I am hesitant.
Erm… so you can’t be held accountable for actions in the past? Hrm.
Does this not count?
Either way, here’s the thing. We’re all allowed to post our opinions and disagree or agree with other people as we see fit. If you wanna jump in and start some discourse, go right ahead. I think most of us are open to it.
Yes, I posted this one, its based on facts.
Is it?
Has he been pardoned? No. Was she prosecuted? No. Did they both grossly mishandle top secret material that is punishable by law? Yes. One did it publicly, the other did it privately. Both knew what they were doing was wrong and punishable by law. Did it stop either? No. Do you have physical and verifiable information that can prove otherwise?

To Duracell,
I’m wondering if a title change might be in order for your thread here. What good is a politics thread if most every conversation only starts or ends with President Trump bashing?
There will be little if any reasonable discourse now that he has been Inaugurated. Just a thought anyways.
What are you suggesting? He change the title to the “bash Trump” thread? You don’t even think we should try reasonable discourse? I don’t get it.
I don’t see reasonable discourse being had, just Trump bashing, hence the suggestion.
You conveniently forget the Hillary bashing that you have done.
The old thread is dead, you cannot use that as your basis of fact. And you would be mistaken about the Hillary bashing that was done because allegations against her were true and she walked away clean. I have made no mention of wanting to see her prosecuted with this new thread. None.

Reasonable discourse and Trump have very little to do with each other. I wonder if you would feel a title change would be in order if most every conversation was starting and/or ending with Obama and/or Hillary bashing?
Yes, I would, will you take issue with it?

This thread is meant only for either sharing your deepest troubles (in other words, not the petty stuff like the b*tching thread), and for those who wish to offer support. No teasing, no mocking, no bickering, no side conversations about someone.
I am responding to warbler as the rules allow. Also darth_ender is the one who moderates his thread. Thank you for your concern though, it is duly noted.

Thanks for the offer Possessed.

I’m a bad person, I’m a bad person, I’m a bad person.
FTFM
These kinds of things can happen at anytime in one’s life. When you don’t have anyone to lean on it can be an unclimbable mountain. When you have some support, it’s like getting a comfortable chair to sit in and chill.
We have a lot of good people here but how they all communicate is all over the place. I created this thread with the intention of allowing those, like darth_ender who have a natural compassion, a place to share it. It is also a thread where one can look at themselves openly without any judgement and maybe find a little solace. I am proud of you for taking some time to be open. Showing support for each other can help us understand each other better and that makes communication far easier while lifting the dark veil that keeps other people’s compassion hidden.
I hope you feel better. Thanks for coming to the thread. It means a lot to me.
