A YOUNG MAN IS DEAD!!!! How insensitive can you be to joke at a time like this? Things like this are what derails a discussion quicker than anything else.
Yeah I’m insensitive. That’s a pretty crushing accusation coming from the guy who claims the dead kid’s parents were horrible, having never met them in his life and only days after the trial during which the guy who shot him got off without punishment.
You've done it throughout the entire thread! Are you serious?
Then it ought to be easy for you to find one instance where I simply dismissed anyone who has “facts” and “evidence.”
Hold up, you are the one who said I was picking a fight with you, YOU are the one being offended. I love opposing viewpoints. When I was a mod people would plead with me to ban members of other fanbases, but I always gave them a chance to see if they could provide outside views without hanging themselves.
This sounds a lot like a guy who welcomes opposing viewpoints.
On this thread, you're the random nobody at home letting everyone know that you know WAY more than Brian Kelly and his staff, while questioning every little thing he does that doesn't work with 1000% perfection. Sad, really.
What a flattering portrayal. How could I confuse that with a personal attack. I’ll bet you say that to all the guys …
Thing is, I like hearing what other people have to say, and acknowledging when they have good points or when their facts and evidence make sense. You, OTOH, have merely dismissed facts and evidence, even when presented by lawyers and jurors on the case who watched every single minute of the case (which you admitted that you did not). You come up with some boloney about them ignoring other facts (which aren't even facts lol) or testimony, and therefore they are wrong and you are right.
You obviously don’t like hearing what other people have to say, which is why you lashed out because you did not like what I have to say. Also, I did not say I’m right and everyone (anyone for that matter) is wrong … not even once.
Never got personal with you, but nice try. You did call my view idiotic though, which I found to be a tad bit rude but whatever, I can handle that.
Don’t give me all the credit … almost everyone thought your view was idiotic. Martin’s parents have handled themselves with strength and dignity throughout this trial and you flat out said they were horrible parents because they didn’t take his cell phone when he got in trouble at school. You insulted the parents of a dead kid who you have never met before … classy. I made a joke instead of getting into this discussion with you when you attempted start an argument yesterday. Congrats! You got your argument!

Are you suggesting this was not a personal attack?
Yeah, kinda like when people make jokes about such a sensitive topic, just days after a 17 year-old kid died. Don't you hate those people?
Actually he died more than a year ago and the joke was not about him. It wasn’t like I was saying he had horrible parents or anything.
So I was right. Thanks bro.
Yes you were right when you called him a kid. I haven’t gone back and looked through the thread to see if you said he should not be considered a kid so I’ll let this one slide. If you did say he shouldn’t be called a kid and are now changing up to fit your argument, tisk, tisk. I will, however, point out that several people on your side of the argument have been pretty emphatic that nobody should be calling him a kid.
When did I argue that?????? What in the world are you talking about? My argument that started this is that his parents did a horrible job. YOU AGREED UP ABOVE. Now you're just making stuff up.
Did I? Who is making stuff up?
Says the guy who has passed off his version of what happened as truth this entire thread.
Again, more show, less tell. Just point to one example. I have given my opinions, and when asked for my theory, I gave my theory. Never once did I say that my version is the gospel – not even one time.
Pissed? Not even close. No idea what you are talking about.
What’s a guy to think when he has insults and accusations being tossed his way? I thought that was a perfectly normal reaction for someone who is pissed. Maybe it is something else altogether then.
I hold the truth in high regard. And the truth is that GZ was rightfully acquitted by virtue of the evidence brought forth in the case, and the truth is that TM's parents did him a horrible disservice by parenting him the way they did.
You hold the truth in high regard, but when someone offers and opposing viewpoint that very well could explain glaring holes in Zimmerman’s story, your reaction is to insult them and accuse them of being a shameless know-it-all. Gotcha!
There you go on the parenting thing again. Dude, you don’t even know these people. Can’t you understand how fvcked up that is to make judgments about how they parented their child when you have no way of knowing what they did? Good lord man, you have no shame.
I guess the lesson here is that it is OK when YOU do it, but when someone comes back at you, it is not OK. Got it.
I just found it ironic that you made assumptions the entire way though your post while criticizing me for making assumptions. The lesson here is that I’ll never get these 15 minutes back and I can promise you I won’t be giving you any more time in this thread from here forward.
