Claims of omniscience are a sign of a narcissistic disorder.
FACT.

Did I strike a nerve Freddy ? When I said plant ….it wasn’t vegetation. If anybody thinks the guv doesn’t insert people into conversations to stir things up you have your head in the sand. Keep thinking you’re the smartest guy in the room buddy…[This message has been edited by PhatMax (edited 08-12-2023).]

What "things"..?
It's too funny.
This reminds me of a video that's been posted somewhere in the annals of the Pennock's forum. A circle of hippies or something like that, out in the woods and gathered around a bright yellow Fiero, like it's an object of worship. Or maybe something that the central character in the skit wants to sell online.
Anybody remember that one? And how to find it?[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 08-12-2023).]

Hahah... I'm good Fred. Of all the psychological evaluations I've had in my last career, I've never been identified as having that. Confident, Type-A, and a little arrogant, yes... but I'm well-aware that the world does not revolve around me.

Not really.
I just saw a chance for a witty comeback.

Well, to quote someone from earlier in this thread. . . "we all know that the smugness and superiority is a "front," the poor guy is probably actually very insecure about his lot in life."
Of course I would never say anything like that because I do not suffer from the delusion that I am omniscient.

Correct that they can not change law. However, one juror can not agree with a law and vote accordingly.
You should know this.

I never do. I have been in more that a few serious accidents. Some, ... death defying. I don't need you to protect me from myself.

Or you could survive, but be permanently disabled and unable to work. Again, if you don't have disability insurance (and most people don't) then the tax payers have to step up to pay for your stupidity.
The damage from any popular dangerous activity effects the entire society. |

There is a solution for that gibberish. Let the deceased person's family, and the surviving wife's family provide them with support. And the charitable entities in the land. Americans are a very giving people.
