Ghostrider, I understand what you mean. I do give you props for that post, though. Made me spit up my drink when I read it...all this serious, rambling posting, then that brilliant non-sequitur!
I am sorry there were no tattoos, though.

Holding until you get back, Captain.

No one should take anything this guy says seriously - about cars, butterfly knives, armed societies, Robert Heinlein, lions or anything else since he's been 100% wrong about it all since he started posting.

And did you have to bring Heinlein into it? A great hero of science fiction and libertarian philosophy deserves no place in your rantings...

Two wrongs don't make a right. If someone is driving in a unsafe manner just dial 911 and tell the cops you think he's drunk and they will take care of it. It's their job. Escalating a situation by brandishing a deadly weapon and vandalizing a car is likely to get you hurt or in jail. Did you ever consider that while you were scratching up his trunk all the guy had to do was throw his car into reverse, floor it and you wouldn't have any legs any more. You should be damn grateful he didn't. Do you know how lucky you are? You could right now be facing the rest of your life in a wheel chair. If he broke the law that doesn't give you the right to do so too. If he pissed you off, so what, you allowed yourself to be pissed off. Exercise some self-control and use your head. Prisions and graveyards are full of people who didn't think through the consequences of their actions. You too can be one of them if you maintain this attitude that you are justified in everything you do. You brandished a deadly weapon and vandalized a car in front of witnesses. How smart is that? If you have a three strikes law in your state you could have only one strike left before you are in the slam for life. I don't know where you get this concept that anyone has the right to kill you, don't kid yourself, murder is a crime. Life isn't a movie or a video game, There is no rewind or reset button. Once you screw up you have to live with it. You graduated high school that really limits your job prospects, add a criminal conviction and watch your life start to spiral downward till it's all you can do to make ends meet and keep from being homeless. I don't see where you get the idea that you can't be judged. Man you are really full of yourself. You posted on a open thread what you did and you expect every one to just slap you on the back and buy you a beer? It's not all about you. Right now you are a hero in your own mind but it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. Life as a responsible adult isn't about giving in to your every impulse, but If you are going to go through life being a thug I suggest you go to Russia where organized crime thrives and police are all corrupt. Otherwise take the plunge and turn your life around, go to the police, tell them that you realize your mistake and want to make amends by apologizing and paying restitution. Maybe if you are lucky the DA will choose not to press charges.

Hahaha.. I love it when assholes get out of their cars with intent to intimidate or worse. Last time that happened to me I took my lump of wood out from under the seat and knee-capped the asswipe and left him screaming in the middle of the road.

It wasnt all that cool but it was kinda poetic as he attacked me.

Nice post, but I think this was all covered by the other people who posted already. Anyway, who the hell would want to live in Russia any way? They should bulldoze that whole nation down, pave it over, and turn it into a parking lot for my car.

You really have to be one of the dumbest people I've ever met online.

Quote:
You acknowledge that it is an open forum, but you don't acknowledge what that actually means. What it means is you can request all you want and I can choose to follow your request or not. You have no "authority" in the matter, yet you think I should oblige you. And really, if you re-read my last post, you will see that I didn't insult you at all. I merely responded without the personal attacks. I acknowledged my previous ones and yes, I did change the tool comment. I went back and read it and realized I was implying that the guy in the car was the tool. That wasn't what I meant, so I fixed it. He was an asshat for cutting you off, but.…

I never implied that I had authority, I only made the request. You might be trying, pathetically, to catch me in a contradiction, but I never once said that you had or should do any of this, only pointed out that it was contradictory to the spirit of your entire argument. As I concluded last time, apparently the physical presence of someone makes a very big difference to you.

Quote:
Oh please. I stated that my judgement means naught. In other words, that it holds no authority. Did ya miss that part? I don't need "the right" to judge you. I can do it with or without "right." The only authority my judgement can have is what other people give it...and those are probably people who agree with me. There is no consequence for my judgement...only that I think you're wrong.

No, as a matter of fact I did miss where you said your opinions mean naught. So, as long as you’re admitting that nothing you say holds any weight… I don’t even know why you’re trying to argue in the first place. Maybe you just like reading your own opinion… you must, since you state them over and over again, no matter how many times I acknowledge them and provide legitimate counter arguments.

Quote:
So my personal attacks mean it's okay to do the same back? My first post was based on a number of posts, your's and a few others. I had more info to go on in my first than you did. Should I have called you a tool, said you belonged in Jr. High (just to get it right) and later, that you were lower on the evolutionary scale? Nope. But I did.

I carve into a guy’s trunk for cutting me off, and you have to ask if I think it’s ok to insult you for insulting me? Hell yes I do. To say nothing of “who would win”, and only of my own personal mentality, if you had been saying these words to my face I would find more than enough reason to physically attack you. But being as this is the second or third issue that you’re yielding on, I’m finding it suitable to just tear you apart online instead.

Quote:
Um, Righteousness? When did that get brought into the mix.... Oh, wait. By you. When you called your anger "Psychotic, righteouse , unjust...."

I did bring up the point of whether getting caught makes something right or wrong because you wrote this: "If you're all bringing up what MIGHT have been the situation to show me where I faulted, then shouldn't reality be the ultimate deciding factor?"

You seemed to say that because the reality of the situation was that you faced no consequences that you did no wrong. I get that you were trying to make a point. But you used a circular argument that just doesn't fly.

And congratulations on more attacks. Do you feel better now?

Go back and read the context that I used those words in. It was a quick list of descriptive words that anyone might have considered my actions. I wasn’t calling myself any of them, which is why a complimentary word like “righteous” is both preceded and followed by pejoratives like “psychotic” and “unjust”. Yet again, you attempt to twist my words to use against me, and yet again you fail. I’m sure you’re not upset by it, though, as failure seems to be a regularity in your life.

And actually, I was pointing out that it was all of you who were and are continuing to us circular arguments. If getting caught is not a factor at all, t

Chris, I think they are responding more in the order of letting everyone else know how they think rather than giving you advice. It's an opportunity for them to get up on a soapbox and wag their fingers at you ...just ignore them. This topic already ran its course. The rest after this point is a pissing contest.

You did what you felt like you needed to do at the time, just try not to do that sort of thing too much because in this world, there's always a bigger fish and you might end up running into him.
