I say 'yes'. You can bet on anything, now. When freakin' ESPN (a broadcaster) owns their own sports book?
Although... if a day of reckoning comes re: fixed outcomes (and especially within the NF of L)... hoo boy
I was going to throw in a punch line about 'except an election', but it's just too sad for me, the way I had it thought up / worded, and the alternative meaning of it would've been worse.
Interesting. I reread our posts. You didn't understand my attempt at humor. No problem. I didn't have to apologize but I did. I apologized to you because YOU didn't understand. There was no malevolence in what I said. I was trying to be a gentleman. I really enjoyed your posts (at least most of them) and characterize you as articulate and humorous. I don't understand why you refuse to converse with me. And, of course, you won't explain. Of course Bodnic went beyond the pale by making a false statement (that many would consider an outright lie). Mr. Bodnic, you stated, and I quote,
'And you obviously don't care for future generations, otherwise you'll try to change a system that is making earth inhabitable too quickly for us to adapt." I showed him how he was mistaken. my responses was "You say I don't care about future generations. Why do you say that.? How do you know that? You don't. I also live on this planet and care about the current and future habitation. Moreover, I have children and have been blessed with 5 grandchildren. And, my wife an I drive fully electric vehicles." You made an outrageous statement. I responded. And somehow I'm the bad guy? I would suggest a rather different approach when you start your discussions with this: I think you are... or I believe you are... You seem to.... my opinion is .... Words have meaning. You've both heard this before : You are entitled to your opinions but not your own facts" (Daniel Moyninhan). When you tell a boldfaced untrue statement you greatly reduce your creditability. It's not very becoming. And how do you respond?
You don't. You can't even man up to apologize. Instead, you run away faster that Usain Bolt.
Anyone care to tell me why I'm wrong? Please, I'm not asking to say these 2 guys are wrong. That would not add anything positive to the discussion. I'm asking what I am guilty of. C'mon guys, help a fellow out.
Lastly, I really hate to do this as it approaches your level of communication. So I apologize in advance. I voluntarily came to this circus so I should have expected clowns. I thought this statement would make me feel better. It didn't. Bakin4Life, keep up up posting. It's really enjoyable.
