tne Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Reading that quickly I saw the word erogenous. That too. Actually I am rather fond of Wilhelm and his elliptical writing style, and find him no more arrogant or obnoxious than many other members here. I could do with fewer ponytail-guy photos, though. ...and I STILL do not agree with the Ignore List concept. Self control in an environment of multidimensional stimuli is a good skill to learn, and if you do not have the self control not to read threads or posts from people you disagree with, then you should just have your time wasted.

Allan F Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 ...if you do not have the self control not to read threads or posts from people you disagree with, then you should just have your time wasted.IMO, it has nothing to do with self control and everything to do with not wanting to waste one's time.

AudioDoctor Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 You have a girlfriend? Pictures, or this thread is worthless. Yes, they are still together because neither knows what the other is talking about, but are too arrogant to admit it... No electron left behind. Link to comment
PopPop Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Allan F: that's what I think. I have learned to simply scroll past posts of members who are known irritants to read the comments of those I respect. In most cases, people who are so erogenous that they merit a "ignore" don't last long on the forum. Even people who are a pain in the ass have something worthy to say now and then. At least I hope so, or, no body is reading my posts. That I ask questions? I am more concerned about being stupid than looking like I might be. Link to comment

sandyk Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 To lighten things up a bit. One for Allan F. and Jud *MOST POLITICIANS ARE LAWYERS* A father told his three sons when he sent them to university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it; as a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die." And so it happened. The sons became a doctor, a lawyer, and a financial planner, each very successful financially. When they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish. First it was the doctor who put ten $100 bills into the coffin of the deceased. Then came the financial planner, who put a $1,000 bill there, too. Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer’s turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out his chequebook, wrote a cheque for $3,000 put it into his father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash. How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area.

徐中銳 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'll keep it brief, it's about identity. Myself, I'm using my real name, albeit spelt in Chinese. Am accountable to my family's reputation, as well as association per friends and colleagues for what I write. Mid December last year, I prompted, freeing myself from publicly persevering with those six entities I've listed. That's how I'm using my Ignore list. And if their points are worthwhile then others will raise it for me to consider commenting. Of course, if you don't comment publicly, there's no need to make known who you're Ignore-listing. As I said at the start : I've not much leisure-time to write nor argue' date=' simply, [b']Chris[/b] trusts me enough to... So, let's just use our Ignore Lists.

PopPop Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 My experience has been that the judge doesn't know the truth and the atty's present a case that best benefits their client. It's an advocacy/justice system. But, the person with the most money has an upper hand. In the end, the best decisions come when the judge has the best information. That doesn't happen often enough.

Allan F Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It's an advocacy/justice system. But, the person with the most money has an upper hand. In the end, the best decisions come when the judge has the best information. That doesn't happen often enough.The legal system in the U.S. and other common law countries is usually referred to as an "adversary system", with advocates representing each side before an impartial judge, or jury, whose job it is to try to determine the truth. In civil cases, the plaintiff, i.e. the person who sues, has the onus or burden of proving his case on a 'balance of probabilities' or a 'preponderance of evidence'. In a criminal case, the state has to prove to a judge or jury that the accused is guilty 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. It is true that the best decisions result when the judge has the best information. What facts are proven, or "the truth", depends on the quality of the evidence presented. However, judges are people and, as such, they can and do make mistakes. Courts of appeal provide an avenue to correct those mistakes. They, too, don't always get it right. There are rules of evidence that were formulated with the goal of finding the truth. "Relax, it's only hi-fi.

It applies in certain situations like when you get caught dating an underage girl or get a speeding ticket. Intent is removed from consideration and you automatically get the maximum sentence if convicted. It would be like removing every level of penalty for killing someone. Everyone would get the death penalty. You have to be really careful because its not easy to get off on those things. If you don't bribe the judge, you're screwed. Link to comment
