  Re: An Alternative..
 
Its late, I may be too tired to think straight (1). At first glance, I had plenty of arguments and questions, but I don't feel those are necessary just yet. I think the system you are trying to devise is our current world. Since man began, we have (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: My Toys R Us Nightmare
 
(...) There are a lot of things that, if spilled, could kill a baby. That doesn't make them morally wrong. They gave me a knife at the steakhouse and I managed not to chop off my foot. Does that mean the steakhouse got lucky? (...) I doubt that they (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: My Toys R Us Nightmare
 
(...) I had bought the ONLY items left of that type and knew the time I had bought them. No one else could have possibly claimed to buy the same item at the same time because there weren't any more. That should be in the police report because I told (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: My Toys R Us Nightmare
 
(...) Most stores are pretty flexible on returns because many people want to be able to return gifts. How do you propose that be allowed? The illegality of buying stolen goods is an interesting one. If it is clear that the goods are stolen, I can (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Libertarian stuff --Time Out!
 
They say it takes 20 minutes for the hormones caused by anger to fade and dissapate. That when you're in the middle of an emotional argument, it is better to go into seperate rooms, whatever, for 20 minutes until both parties become rational again; (...)

  Re: Libertarian stuff --Time Out!
 
(...) Mine was a face-value question--I wasn't saying that you accused me. (...) Why are you so hostile now, of all times, when I've admitted in two separate posts that you were right and I was wrong? Is it because I didn't like Bicentennial Man? (...)

  Re: Libertarian stuff
 
(...) Didn't say YOU broke it, merely that it is broken. "this deep in a thread tree" for various reasons, the reference lines being posted are truncated. Todd has a proposed fix to cnews that will compensate for (I think in most cases) other (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Libertarian stuff
 
(...) That's all anyone can ask, and I will likewise try to be more civil. Larry's done a great job of pointing out that my behavior has been less than exemplary, so I'm hardly able to cast the first stone. As a general suggestion (and Richard has (...)

  Re: Libertarian stuff
 
(...) Did I break the threading by failing to quote the message? If so, then this break is obviously my fault. I guess I would say that I am ranting against John in general as well as at a specific post of his, but my initial message was in response (...)

  Re: Libertarian stuff
 
(...) With the threading as broken as it is, this deep in a thread tree, it may be useful to quote enough of the post that you're replying to for us to find it. Or are you just ranting against John in general rather than at a specific post? I'd say (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well I never claimed to be dogmatic about anything :) I took the (URL) quiz and I have edged closer to the Libertarian and Moderate spheres, but it still labels me left-liberal.

  Re: 24hour Amnesty on personal comments
 
(...) No, I just wonder why I, do this. It is very frustrating sometimes, I will have to learn better self control! Nothing against you, Richard, just me.

  Re: 24hour Amnesty on personal comments
 
(...) Basically it is just supposed to be a fun self-regulartory idea, it's not saying that people can't make comments if they wish, but that (2 so far!) people have made a pledge to try not to make personal comments. I'd hate to think I'd stopped (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
