    Default I am wrong

    seriously, why can't so many in message board debates just say those two words when they obviously are wrong?

    Not naming names, but doesn't it take a bigger man to admit to being wrong when they are then it does to pretend like you are always rights?

    I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

    I am convinced.

    What do you mean by wrong, Conhog? In political debates, it's so many times about opinion as opposed to x happened and y didn't.

    In the beginning, God created me, and decided the world simply wasn't ready for such greatness. So I kept a low profile and allowed John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, The Fonz, Joe Cool, and Superman stand in for me.

    When was the last time YOU said it? Going on 3 years and all I've heard from you is that "someone" is ALWAYS picking on your poor little victimized ass.

    I'm more than willing to admit when I'm wrong. I consider myself at the pussy level for even responding to your drama queen antics. I know better yet still just want to punch you in the mouth and knock most of your teeth out. Probably more because I've done more in 3 years to let you run your mouth, stupid as what you say is, than ANYONE.

    I'll name names though. YOU are a backstabber and a liar. I probably wouldn't have even addressed the issue except you're so damned self-sanctimonious you think my girlfriend is going to believe you OBVIOUS bullshit and take your side. Oddly enough, most everyone has the same opinion of you. Drama queen. Crybaby. Anyone who tells you to just let something go gets a gazillion PMs. Remember what I told you at USMB? PMs don't count as posts. So you're just wasting people's time.

    So tuck your frilly little lace panties back into your pants and wipe your eyes and shut the fuck up. I/we/the staff have lives. Changing your Huggies everytime you fart and whine ain't part of it.

    I've admitted at times that I am wrong, but rarely. People are passionate about their beliefs and don't want to admit wrong unless cold hard facts are presented to them. In other words, maybe debating the dates that something happened. It's hard to not admit you're wrong when actual dates of something are presented. But when debating something that is a belief, like many constitutional issues, it's either someone "changes" their belief or is persuaded to do so, or their belief remains the same. So it's not as easy as it sounds, not often are people proven to be factually wrong.

    But it's clear by this thread being opened in the cage that you are basing this on experience with someone here as of late. And with respect, doing so ain't a helluva lot better than the one who won't admit when they're wrong. Just sayin'! If you feel someone is wrong, and even proven so, starting a fight in the cage area certainly won't accomplish much on the matter!

    Rumor going around is that they beat the living snot out of the mold-maker after that too.
    Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours.
