No one who loses on these court programs ever admits that they deserved to lose. Despite the fact that it was explained to them plainly why they were wrong (and despite the fact that the production company pays all costs and awards so they didn't lose any money), it doesn't matter - they're still right. <br /><br />Same with fundies. You can try to reason with them until you're blue in the face, you can explain to them why they're wrong six ways to Sunday; in the end, it doesn't matter. They will always be right. They just have too much to lose by being wrong.Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-73245756944648702722009-07-15T09:18:24.282-05:002009-07-15T09:18:24.282-05:00Ahahah, this cracks me up. They're using the s...Ahahah, this cracks me up. They're using the same misguided logic that many (but not all) Christians use to defend their faith in a court of law. This sort of reminds me of an episode of Judge Judy I saw once (not a regular watcher) where a couple scammed a mother and daughter into buying a cell phone off of e-bay. Instead of sending the winner of the auction an actual cell phone, they sent them a photograph of the cell phone. In their defense, they pointed out that on their auction page they explicitly said "you are getting what is in the picture", which itself was a picture. And even after they were torn apart by the judge and laughed out of the court room, they still insisted that they should have won the case.<br /><br /><br />Okay so it wasn't really related to the subject at hand. My point is people are stupid and ignorant of the rule of law.Tyler Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266867686223090208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-29979681443102089312009-07-15T07:16:34.260-05:002009-07-15T07:16:34.260-05:00Somewhere there's a lawyer who drew this up, y...Somewhere there's a lawyer who drew this up, yet can still sleep at night.Jeff Eygeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967707883565162538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-4123901790838531392009-07-15T02:18:17.814-05:002009-07-15T02:18:17.814-05:00I'll take my Doctorate in Omniknowledge, with ...I'll take my Doctorate in Omniknowledge, with a side of Masters in HyperOrgasmic stimulation please.<br /><br />But, seriously, quote-mining the law to a JUDGE??? Really? That seemed a good idea to them at the time? That takes some serious stones if you ask me...that or a complete disregard for reality.<br /><br />It really reminds me of 7th grade English when we were taught how to right persuasive essays. We were told only to include counter-arguments we could refute. Nothing in there about what to do with arguments we couldn't refute...like for instance changing our position.Stephanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724694017892101829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-89765164273676664832009-07-14T22:22:01.715-05:002009-07-14T22:22:01.715-05:00I would like a degree in Scientology .
