Gotta love two people, one who's idea of sourcing information is his own opinion (@New) and the other a conspiracy theorist to rival Mickey only with more hatred and bigotry (@Window), complaing about someone they ran away from and blocked (how very liberal of them).
Glad to know I still live in their heads, rent-free.

Very ; )
...Still waiting.
Happy to apologize if there was an oversight about a request for some sort of bet and happy to revisit.
"I indicated I would answer if we made it a bet- that if I was correct/showed him that he was wrong, he would cease posting in the Politics section of the SLS Forum and If I was wrong that I would cease posting in the Politics section of the Forum."
Please indicate where and the subject and I'll be glad to revist; I honestly have zero idea what you're talking about.
If you can point it out, I'll glady apologize publically for the oversight.
"Wasn’t it about your political party? I think I recall you saying that you had been a lifeling republican but decided that you were capable of thinking for yourself or something to that effect."
I've never been a member of any political party. Ever.
But you're warm...
Wasn’t it about your political party? I think I recall you saying that you had been a lifeling republican but decided that you were capable of thinking for yourself or something to that effect.
In another thread, Forfun directed 2 issues toward Mayhem and myself- asking us to prove him wrong on one or the other. This was not in the form of a bet.
I indicated I would answer if we made it a bet- that if I was correct/showed him that he was wrong, he would cease posting in the Politics section of the SLS Forum and If I was wrong that I would cease posting in the Politics section of the Forum.
There was silence on his part but another uninvolved participant indicated that there was no way I could prove my answer.
That participant is kinda right. If the Forum search feature was better, I could find years old posts I had made to back up my response to Forfun, but it wouldn't be the verifiable, easily sourced proof (SCOTUS decision) that the bet this thread is about.
I have no idea what actual bet (or bets) Forfun made that he referred to in this thread. I get the idea he wasn't serious about that statement made in here.
Anyway, I never responded to his directed request in another thread to show he was wrong.
It would’ve had to be to Good, Slow, Mayhem or New.
I blocked him and that’s an unusual occurrence. He’s a revolting excuse for a human being.
“Why would anyone ever engage in a bet with someone whom everyone knows will just "nuh uh" at any result they don't like?”
Who is still engaging him? For the very reason you’ve stated above. How many people could he have offered this wager to?
Well it's why I blocked him, because a weakness of mine is that it is difficult to ignore stupidity placed directly in front of me.
But since SLS allowed this Reply to feature, much of that separation has been lost, and I am again exposed to much of his bullshit 2nd hand.
It's a pretty good way to expose who's completely full of shit and who is not.
He tries to redirect the conversation and is never accountable.
He refers to the prople who block him as “cowards” or “ afraid to debate” him. I pointed out that most, just don’t want to be bothered spending time they don’t have, on someone incapable of conceding to facts.
The concept of a bet here is entirely unenforceable; but it effectively shows one's character.
Whether one is honorable in losing or gracious in winning.
More interesting is who will hoot and holler about something that they swear beyond a shadow of a doubt is true....and then chicken out when confronted.
“Quote from Forfunin205: I've made offers like "the bet" myself with higher stakes in this site....so far, no takers. I wonder why?”
ForFun will openly lie about what the price of gas is, and I have never seen or heard of him ever accepting responsibility for his misstatements or lies.
Why would anyone ever engage in a bet with someone whom everyone knows will just "nuh uh" at any result they don't like?
We are all bearing witness to what happens when a megalomaniac declares his opinion has more value than expertise and fact.
You summarized ForFuns offer perfectly.
“Quote from Forfunin205: I've made offers like "the bet" myself with higher stakes in this site....so far, no takers. I wonder why?”
People generally do not bet with others who like to declare themselves the winner of whatever it is you’ve placed the bet about.
All people who want to bet on the debate of an argument is not placing a good bet.
People do not accept results of opinions. So if there is not a cut and dry answer. Black and white answer or one point more than the other person. It’s a stupid bet.
I was just reminded of an an exception to my "I don't think anyone likes losing" statement...
I once lost a game of strip poker with Mrs. G and 1 of her bi, LS friends. I may have lost the game but I sure enjoyed the aftermath.
"I almost never agree to a "bet". Partly because I don't like losing, but also because I don't like holding my counterpart responsible if they lose. If I ever say "I'd bet" I'm being proverbial, almost always."
I don't think anyone likes losing. With certain exceptions, the only time I ever make/accept a bet with another party is when I'm 100% certain I'll win.
Exceptions would be the "proverbial" type VA mentioned but also in games of chance at casinos, with friends and occasionally games of skill with friends. I don't recall ever having issues with anyone reneging on a bet I've been involved with.
IMO, a bet is a contract; an agreement.
I almost never agree to a "bet". Partly because I don't like losing, but also because I don't like holding my counterpart responsible if they lose. If I ever say "I'd bet" I'm being proverbial, almost always.
I am however perfectly willing to agree to take a predictive position. But in such cases the only actual thing on the line is the gloating rights of the winner and (in my opinion) moral obligation to acknowledge one's loss.
But in this case - Mickey is trying to have it all possible ways. Sorry, you insufferable genital blister on the fora, but it doesn't work like that.
I was being facetious when I said "I wonder why".
@Good
That’s because cause you would spank them.
It has it’s appeal.
I made an offer with the same stakes to the one in this thread and had no takers.
I don't wonder why.
The moocher of Louisiana. Welches on bets and sponges off the government for welfare.
I've made offers like "the bet" myself with higher stakes in this site....so far, no takers.
I wonder why?
Love it
