Roll Call: Tired of the Haters?

Dang, I can't believe I recieved and "infraction" for using this smilie...:jerkit:

Not much sense of humour here these days or what? You guys take this just a little bit too seriously.

Also, I would recommend not having a "jerkit" smilie available if there are some kind of laws against using it.

its used mainly in the pirates cove and whine and cheese. if you received an infraction, why would you use it again in the same thread?

It depends on the way the jerkit smilie is used. If it is used to show your general opinion about something - All I saw on the news today was stuff about Anna Nicole Smith. :jerkit: - then you are unlikely to get an infraction (except in some of the forums). If you use it in a way that could be taken as an insult - Gee thanks! :jerkit: - were it could be thought that you were saying - Gee thanks! Jerkoff. - then you are likely to get an infraction in any of the forums, except W & C and The Pirate's Cove.
 
I find an occasional controversial thread good in determining how people think, what they care about, etc.

I agree. Those kinds of threads tell me a lot about the people that post on them. However, I do not believe that should they should go on until the dead horse has been beaten into an unrecognizable pulp.
 
Your point is well taken, but do as I have done thus far ... let it go. You want a piece of it ... then jump into the original thread ... Why start another?

I don't think this was a case of "being a hater" at all. For many, including me, it was the obvious offense of misrepresentation of a military career, especially to enhance a business position. I respect that all do not see the offense or it's magnitude. Most who called him on it are current or former military. Perhaps you have no ox that has ever been gored. ...but I bet there is some aspect of your life that if someone overstepped your limit of tolerance, you would publically call a halt. If one cannot find the boundaries of moral, or even legal, behavior, then much is lost. I don't hate the subject of that post, I don't know him. I do hate the behavior.
 
I hate the people who start posts on how much they hate the critics of the haters who intensely hate those who kinda hate them.
 
Is an infraction like getting a demerit?

:jerkit:


Is this polite enough? ::D


And I hate people who hate the people who start posts on how much they hate the critics of the haters who intensely hate those who kinda hate them while they are hating others, hater. :p
 
I'm starting to get a headache, and I hate getting a headache from reading the posts of the people that hate people who hate the people who start posts on how much they hate the critics of the haters who intensely hate those who kinda hate them while they are hating others.
 
aw, :jerkit: !

(you guys wanna know something? I don't even read the general knife forums anymore ;) I'm just in here as a plant by the haters)
 
The people of Haiti are called Haitians, not Haters. They have as much right as anyone to post here on BFC without being maligned. Referring to them as Haters is degrading. If the Haitians do not like Strider, it is their right.
I hate all the haters who hate the Haitians.
;) ;) ;) ;)

(edit - smiles added so all will know I was kidding around)
 
Peopele are entitled to their opinions. It is a unalienable constitutional right in the USA.

TRUTH is absolute, definitive and important.

If you can't grasp the importance of TRUTH then don't whine every time you get duped, frauded, ripped off, taken advantage of, cheated etc et alia and expect someone to care about your situation or loss. This applies fairly asnd evenly to ALL aspects of truthfulness and FULL DISCLOSURE.

If you cannot grasp that concept then try buying a house based on fraudulent representations w/o FULL DISCLOSURE and see how HAPPY you are with the fraud.

Call it a HUNCH BUT, I'll bet you change your tune real fast after you get duped and stuck.

TRUTH and HONESTY are not synonymous. But TRUTH is absolute and nondiscriminatory.

It does allow you the ability to see what others think and does and allow you to make your own conclusions about whom you associate with.

It has nothing to do with knives or their efficasiousness. Notwithstanding, it does have to do with people's integrity, character and motives.....

Tamishigiri,
I've picked out some of your declarative statements from your post,
could you maybe expound upon your thought a little more so I can understand better?:)


..............................
"There is no single definition of truth about which the majority of scholars agree, and numerous theories of truth continue to be widely debated. There are many differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; how to define and identify truth; what roles do revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth

............................................

"Philosophers are interested in a constellation of issues involving the concept of truth. A preliminary issue, although somewhat subsidiary, is to decide what sorts of things can be true. Is truth a property of sentences (which are linguistic entities in some language or other), or is truth a property of propositions (nonlinguistic, abstract and timeless entities)? The principal issue is: What is truth? It is the problem of being clear about what you are saying when you say some claim or other is true. The most important theories of truth are the Correspondence Theory, the Semantic Theory, the Deflationary Theory, the Coherence Theory, and the Pragmatic Theory. They are explained and compared here. Whichever theory of truth is advanced to settle the principal issue, there are a number of additional issues to be addressed:
  1. Can claims about the future be true now

    ?
  2. Can there be some algorithm for finding truth – some recipe or procedure for deciding, for any claim in the system of, say, arithmetic, whether the claim is true?
  3. Can the predicate "is true" be completely defined in other terms so that it can be eliminated, without loss of meaning, from any context in which it occurs?
  4. To what extent do theories of truth avoid paradox?
  5. Is the goal of scientific research to achieve truth? "

I'll play BUT only once since it is a KEY GRASP of the obvious.

If your going to play scemantics w/ me I won't engage.


Here are two perfect examples that illustrate TRUTH .....

HYPERDICTIONARY

Definition:

[n] a fact that has been verified;

[n] conformity to reality or actuality;


Hope those definitions help you grasp the obvious.
