Alcohol that won't poison you or make you go blind is not a naturally-occurring substance like cannabis blossoms.

Ha ha, oh really... So how then do wild animals get drunk on fermented fruit do they buy it from Safeway?

 

[PALO]

LOL....yes you must have made a wonderfully unbiased judge and cop.

Never did I say you were ever in complete agreement with me, where did you get that from?

If what I say seems to be BS you should be able to easily contradict it with logic right?

I rather don't mind you not liking me, I challenge your status quo, I logically point out the fallacies of your "fantasy world" since I don't subscribe to it I am a heretic to you..... and gladly so.

In regards to the post you are referring to, I find it weird that somebody can "dislike" somebody based on their posts here. For pete's sake, you can't get to really know somebody and it's just internet wanking. Important wanking, but wanking nonetheless

I've met a lot of people from the intertoobs (especially when I used to post in Usenet in misc.fitness.weights... we would go to contests together, etc.) and ime people can come off one way in their posts and be completely different in person. The internet does weird things to people, and the anonymity, etc. tend to turn posters into hyperbolic versions of themselves and some twisted "other" person hidden deeply away.

The one thing that irks me about internet posters is on forums like this, most people will do ANYTHING but admit they were wrong. It's like the entire ego edifice will come crashing down if they go 'my bad. I was wrong'

Nobody should be afraid to be wrong on a matter of fact, and by learnign you were wrong, hey you lEARNEDsomething. It's a good thing.

There is that quote (I think will rogers?) about the thing being those things we "know" but it aint so, that's the problem.

Anybody who gets angry about something somebody posts here, needs to man up a bit and get a life, fwiw. It's just the intertoobs.

When you've mastered getting drunk from rotting fruit you didn't cultivate, let us know.

Inmates in state prisons have perfected this to an art form. Mash, not to be confused with the movie/TV program, is the second best game inside the walls.

I do not know. Maybe 45ACPaddy will post a link. He is who saw the report.

Well, back to the topic at hand...

The news report was brief. They just said that CP Tech was on lockdown, that a man was seen with a gun chasing a car off campus, and that was it. Never saw another mention. And this was on NWCN. Didn't see any mention on KOMO, KING, or KIRO.

I used to think that nothing amazes me any more... Well, I was wrong. How a thread can go so off topic still amazes me

Was a man with a gun? Or just a report of a guy with a gun? There's a difference...and a false alarm is worse than the real thing ...

+1 I agree,

Although you and I have some philosophical differences I would gladly sit down and have the conversation in person and be friendly who knows even friends, I don't have to agree with what my friends say or think I am not that shallow. Speaking of which I would like to extend an open invitation to you to our weakly coffee meets here in Bellingam Sundays, 10 AM Bakerview and Northwest it is attended by folks of all types of backgrounds we don't discriminate.

Being self employed I am also open for coffee if not super busy during the week too. (Well I stopped drinking coffee, but I'm sure you know what I mean)

What kind of coffee shop serves weakly coffee? Softbucks? Brownwater Cafe? Twice-dripped Grounds? The Clearview Pot?

LOL....good catch! See what happens when I stop drinking coffee...

 

[rapgood]

I would say that our RIGHTS have always been the same and that it's really the RESPECT for them that has been expanding.

THat's true, from a natural rights perspective. Courts don't "grant" rights, they RECOGNIZE them.

Hopefully they do.
P.S. PALO, I don't know where you work, but it clearly isn't Seattle.

You are correct. I do not work for SPD. Imo, SPD is a mediocre at best police dept. I am well aware the DOJ thinks they have a force problem. I take that with a grain of salt because the DOJ has a spotty record in this kind of subjective analysis. And from what I have seen of their analysis , it lacks rigor. I do know as a matter of clear fact that SPD has a lower Use of Force rate per capita than the national average which is a positive metric in their favor. Overall, though, I would say they are mediocre. For example, individual officers must "clear" the PC for every arrest with a sgt. before they transport for booking!

They trust the capability of their officers THAT much, that they don't even trust them with that. My agency has had a few officers fail out of our FTO program, apply to SPD and do just fine there in a much more micromanagement environment. Those that are former SPD and work for us have told me our training, expectations of officers, and professionalism trump SPD's

Seattle's ultimate failing though, imnsho was when their cop-o-crat police chief and brass down the line ORDERED their officers NOT to engage with the rioters during mardi gras, clearly not wanting see people of color being hit by jackbooted govt. thugs. What ended up happening was people were brutalized by rioters, and Kris Kime was killed, the rioters being mostly gangbangers who had come up from oregon for the "festivities". Kerlikowske, their former chief is now the "drug czar" (god, please gag me with a spoon) of the Obama administration! He exemplifies the kind of PC cop-o-crat that I loathe.

cheers
