Maybe better to avoid that path right from the start cuz it always leads to the same end result; two people not talking to each other because the other one is stupid. .. -- nestork See, here's the difference. I couldn't care less if I never engage with the person in question again. No loss there. You have this moral equivalency concept, you're basically claiming that all statements here are just as valid. I provided citations to the definition of "shoplifting" and to an example of shoplifting law. KRW has provided just his flapping gums. It's clearly *not* shoplifting if a cashier by mistake somehow fails to scan one of many items that you've placed on the counter to be scanned. That is what krw has claimed. Do you believe that? It's not shoplifting, because shoplifting requires that it be done on purpose, by the customer, with the intent of stealing. Do you believe him when he claims he checks with 100% certainty that the cashier has correctly scanned ever single item in a shopping cart full of stuff at the supermarket? Maybe if 10 people told him he's wrong, he'd start to learn. That's what finally happened in the thread where he was all wrong about 4 wire vs 3 wire oven connections, yet he kept digging himself deeper. It took two EE's and an electrician or two. When someone blows smoke in your face, you may choose to accept it, but not me. As for the name calling, I reject your assertion that I'm equally at fault. Go look back at not only this thread, but all the other threads where KRW starts hurling insults at everyone and anyone, especially as soon as they correct him on something. Look at who's started the name calling. He's called me idiot, moron, stupid, etc. I believe about the most I've said in response to all that in this thread is that he's making an ass of himself. |

Maybe you have not paid attention. Just last week or so I was corrected by bubba, in another thread, about "investigative detention". He showed me I was wrong, I conceded he was correct and learned something in the process. I'm retired LEO w/25 years experience and had never heard of it. I felt I was correct but learned I was not. I publicly stated that. Other times I've been corrected and apologized. Then we have the resident limey troll from the U.K., harry. He is a constant lying liar, always telling lies, a bigot and a socialist. Allowing him to spew his lies must be corrected. The idiot moron ******* and I remind of it. .... you danged Canuck! |

In that case, it was an accident because I had no intent to shoot at him. I thought I was bagging a moose. Ditto for the shoplifting. If there's something at the bottom of your cart, like a newspaper that the cashier doesn't scan, then paying and pushing the cart out of the store isn't shoplifting. You had no intention of stealing the newspaper. But, I'm not sure if there would be a difference between a petty crime like shoplifting and a serious crime like murder. Also, I suspect things would change if you notice that she didn't scan the newspaper and walked out without paying for it. Then, you'd be shoplifting because at that point, you realize there's the opportunity to heist a free newspaper and you consiously take advantage of her mistake and start walking out of the store with the intention of stealing it.

What matters is "WHAT is right", not "WHO is right" because the people coming in here asking questions are only after information they can rely on. And "WHAT is right" is that we discuss their problems on a technical level so the OP can understand the solution, and hopefully, the nature of the problem to begin with as well. But, "What's right" also means that we don't let technical discussions turn in to personal arguements cuz that serves no purpose whatsoever. |

Sorry, I wanted to change the last sentance in my last post to:
"But, "What's right" also means that we don't let technical discussions turn in to personal arguements cuz that just makes the entire forum look bad; like it's populated by children that don't know any better." But, the web site wouldn't let me change it for some reason. I just got the rotating dots and an hourglass until I was tired of waiting for the changes to take effect. So, I just decided to type another post giving those changes. |

I thought I was bagging a moose. No, that would be called "reckless endangerment" and/or "negligent homicide". Since I'm not a moose, you showed "premeditation" LOL! |

It's called diplomacy. In order to actually get someone to talk openly about something that's kinda sensitive to them, you need to do it with velvet gloves on. You can't start a dialogue by criticizing one person as being at fault because that person will just go on the defensive and respond to your criticisms with criticisms of their own, and the conversation goes no where. Maybe you have not paid attention. Just last week or so I was corrected by bubba, in another thread, about "investigative detention".

I publicly stated that. Other times I've been corrected and apologized. Exactly. No one in here knows everything, and we all learn from each other. Darn! That was mean, I thought I knew everything and you have just devastated me. The only honorable thing for me to do is to commit hari-kari with a serrated, dull, rusty blade. ^_^ What matters is "WHAT is right", not "WHO is right" because the people coming in here asking questions are only after information they can rely on.

Heck, I DON'T know everything but I know a lot, more importantly, if I don't know something, I know who to ask. Ignorance and stupidity are not the same thing. Ignorance means you don't know but you can learn, stupidity is acting out of ignorance when you know darn well you're ignorant of something. ^_^ TDD |

I believe everyone in here is of good intelligence and realizes that:
1. Arguing with someone about something ad nauseum makes this web site look bad to people who come here looking for reliable advice from knowledgeable people. It makes it look like none of us know what we're talkling about, and that whomever argues the longest and loudest is the ultimate authority on the subject. No poster wants that. They want to be able to talk to people knowledgeable about their problem so they can find a solution, not just someone who's sole credential is the ability to shout down everyone else in the room. 2. Name calling and hurling insults at the other person doesn't "win" an argument, it only makes the other person get fed up with arguing because he no more wants to be insulted than he wants to stoop to the level of calling his opponent names and hurling insults at him in response. That is, no one "wins" a name calling contest; it ends because one person or the other doesn't want to continue it. And I believe Krw understands that as well, it's just that he's competitive in nature and considers name calling and hurling insults all part and parcel of "winning" an argument. He doesn't realize the damage he's doing to the board, especially with new people that come here hoping to get reliable advice from knowledgeable and experienced people. What would you think if you went into a garage asking why your car is making a clunk clunk clunk noise, and the two mechanics you were talking to started arguing and insulting each other's intelligence so that you didn't know what or who to believe, only that it appeared to be more important to each of them to out-argue the other one than it was to help you solve your problem? That's what's happening in here. |

I cannot help but remember watching a TV interview with one of the judges who retired from your US Supreme Court.
He said that in the entire time he served on that bench with 8 (is it?) other supreme court judges, they were always discussing the various aspects of each case they heard, but he never once heard any one of them raise their voice in anger or insult anyone else's intelligence during those private discussions they had. I expect that was because all of them knew and understood the law and respected the other's opinion when it came to conflicting aspects of the law. And, that struck me as an important thing for me to remember. If those judges can make decisions that are important enough to affect the future of an entire country, why can't we discuss matters of vastly less importance with similar respect and dignity? |

It's kind of like the Chinese, they've been dealing with governments and ways to get around laws and regulations for several millennium so they're experts at it. ^_^ We had _monitoring_ and classification of "Special Groups" - Cosa Nostra, Black Gorilla Family, Arian Brotherhood, Mexican Mafia , Crips, Bloods and all the rest of the heathens, including those that were threats against government officials. Cosa Nostra (mafia) was the first special group I saw that was removed from the special group monitoring. They still have phone calls recorded, etc. It's a new day |

I had a staff member, with more education on books that kept calling me about things that were in her post orders. Finally, and the last time she called me, I said: "Give me three solutions!" She knew them all, so I said "pick one and make a decision." I give anyone that makes a bad decision a chance, because they could at least make a decision. I ran a staff member from my office once. Standing there and telling me how great he was. I sent him back to the convict-wolves and told him to rub elbows with real criminals. It was the lesson he needed to learn. |

Learning moments are often easier than re-do.
You hear about the rather nervous, new bank robber? Strides into the bank and waving a gun. Hollered "Freeze, mother stickers, this is a **** up!" One at a time the customers started laughing. The perp shrank, and walked out. .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org ..

When I was a young lad, under 10. I played vulva in a
scrabble game with my grand parents. Neither of them knew the word. My grand father challenged, and lost. It's part of a flower. Or, so the big old dictionary said. .. Christopher A.

wrote: 'Oren[_2_ Wrote: ;3125541'] The follower does not push "bullets" - it pushes the cartridges / rounds / shells upward. Come on Oren. You know what he meant. No. I only know what he said. As you've stated before, people that may not know things can learn from people that do know. The poster's statement was wrong in two ways: about "bullets" and about a "magazine" being a "clip". I pointed them both out. If someone says cement instead of concrete, or calls it concrete instead of cement, most times it's not necessary to correct them. I know what they meant from the context of the conversation and they know what they wanted to say. Good for you! How many people go to the gun or sporting goods store and ask for a "box of bullets" for such and such a gun or rifle, pay for their purchase and walk out the door without ever being corrected on their terminology. Probably happens 100 times a day in every gun store or sporting goods store that sells... ...bullets. Giggle. I asked for a specific caliber, i.e. .45, .357, etc. and a specific type of round - FMJ, HP. Saying "give me a box of bullets" will require the clerk to ask inquisitive questions. Same as if you ask a sales clerk for a dozen donuts. Are they supposed to read your mind or know what you "meant"? Same with buying paint at a local store. We don't say "give me some paint". We ask for specific types based on our needs. The liberal media (spit) is full of bad information from journalist about guns and ammo. Like calling an AR-15 a machine gun or calling a _magazine_ a "high capacity clip." Know what I mean? |
