Why don't politicians actually do something about gun deaths?

That's not remotely true either, and is exactly why Exterminator has said what he's said about you.

Tell me then how can theory stand as fact when it can't be proved one way or the other and will have different outcomes depending on the info used to arrive at the theory? The person trying to prove a point will always use info supporting what they are trying to convey and tend to ignore things which disagree with it, or maybe use just enough to come up with a percentage, favoring them of course.

[Exterminator]

THAT is why. I'm out too!

When your sore meat curtains heal and you decide to come back, you will be required to fill out this form.

I love the Butthurt Report Form.

Any one want to bet that chicken Henry wouldn't fill it out even if you paid him.

Or he has better things to do. Hum, that would be a good song title.....  Maybe I've got better things to do. I'll have to give that some thought....

He's reading the thread right now.  Look at the top.

  Oh he's probably out getting drunk, drinking koolaid   He's probably at the same Republican bar as our right wing christian, Henry.

It's now obvious that if you're looking for a civil discussion with adults, you won't find it here. Sneers, jeers, juvenile 'cowgirl' nic-twisting, and the obvious progressive-liberal circle-jerk has convinced me, so have a great time and goodbye.

Do you need a 'whaaaaaaaambulance!'?

You're simply a crybaby who, when starting out posting a bunch of baiting, foolish, crap, got shown - even before I showed up - the absolute trolling and stupidity you spewed, whines around here lying about what you posted, refusing to own up to your foolishness, and going behind the scenes fermenting trouble with at least one long time poster.

'Cowgirl' is apt, but whining weasel is more apropo.

Why don't you accept it when you're on the losing side of an argument and change your 'opinions' as well as forming more cogent arguments able to withstand dissection and analysis. 

Whydon'tcha'!

[Y]

THIS is what pisses me off!!!   
Instead of discussing a very good topic with Cowboy........you sandbagged, until Y came and threw insults.

NO wonder nobody sticks around here that has opposing opinions. 

Even EX, could only muster up some insults, instead of TRYING to have a conversation.

.........nobody here is going to change anybody's mind.

As I pointed out to that 'Whiny Weasel', people had already shown the lack of thoughtfulness and cogency behind that crap he posted long before I showed up to waste more time than I should have on that tripe.

The reason I keep seeing for no change in opinions is that people like you simply do not want to give up your biases and prejudices in the face of incontrovertible evidence, fact, and logic. 

Therefore, we keep remaining at an impasse.

[Y]

BULLSHIT!  He merely was starting a conversation.  You didn't do shit until Y came to your rescue.  I guess people either have to think like you or they are not welcome here.....

You always claim you wanted more here.....THAT is why. I'm out too!

Jeezus-peezus, Hank!

He was FAR from 'merely...starting a conversation', and you know it.  People here had already pointed it out before I came on the scene.

Who 'unwelcomed' him or told him to leave???  No one. 

People did exactly what forums do, and that's argue for/against propositions.

He couldn't argue for his, and several people promoted cogent arguments against.

His widdle feelings got hurt - most likely because he, like you, are used to all that glad hand circle jerking that goes on at the Hub - and cried both here and to you, and you were manipulated into sticking up for your Hub 'bud' instead of taking a good close look at his original post and his posts from there on.

If he had any ballz and the gumption of the moniker 'Cowboy' he uses, he'd pick himself up, dust himself off, and not make the same mistakes again when dealing with folks that are guided by evidence, facts, and logic...

...otherwise, 'Cowgirl' it is.

How many time have we explained to you and your ilk your constant mixed up usage of the term theory?

Pay attention!:

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/theory


theory
[thee-uh-ree, theer-ee]

noun, plural theories.

1. a coherent group of tested general propositions, commonly regarded as correct, that can be used as principles of explanation and prediction for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.

Synonyms: principle, law, doctrine.

2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural and subject to experimentation, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.

Synonyms: idea, notion hypothesis, postulate.

Antonyms: practice, verification, corroboration, substantiation.


Not everyone only looks at, or uses, information preferential to their premise etc..  There are many of us who analyze by looking at all sides and using facts, evidence, and logic to arrive at a reasonable conclusion that passes such scrutiny.

It appears that your ilk are the ones who can't, or won't, put away your prejudices and biases in order to do that.
