Zimmerman Self-Defense Trial off to Acceptable Start :)

BTW, on the election thing....all I did was say that the election would be close, and I cited several polls to support my point. I never said Romney would win. You cited no sources and got lucky with a big victory for your guy. Even though no data supported your theory at the time. Like now, no data supports your theory.

332 to 206 is close now? You can't go by popular vote as it doesn't matter, if it did Obama would have played that game instead and trounced him that way instead of with electoral votes. You did site several polls indicating that it was going to be so close, I told you those polls were wrong, which they were. I didn't site any polls, because that was my point, they were wrong and it was going to be a big win for Obama. Anyway, I'll be back with another "I told you so" on this case soon. I think the reason, like many people on this forum, you're wrong so much is that you surround yourself with like minded people and live in this non-reality bubble and don't even know how regular people in the real world think.

And you are the expert on "regular people" and how "regular people in the real world think?"

Please tell me, where did you obtain your graduate degrees in psychology and sociology?

From the U of M actually, that's kind of creepy that you'd know that, but doesn't really make me an expert on anything. I would say that my solid track record of predicting how current events will pan out is due to the fact that I don't surround myself with like minded people and live in a bubble. I have conversations with conservatives, liberals, and anything in between and don't view the world so black and white as most do around here.

So... people I know and talk to regularly from the UK et al. who are all rabidly anti-gun isn't surrounding myself with the like-minded, is it?

Be honest, how do you do describe these "rabidly anti-gun" folks. Do you call them libtards, gun grabbers, etc... you already called them rabid. You've likely already made up your mind about them and they will never change that perception. That's what I'm talking about when I say that I don't view the world so black and white.

Anyway, it's quitting time for me for the day. See you tomorrow.

They wish to confiscate firearms and nothing will convince them to change their mind.

What's left to make up my mind about?

Aren't they viewing the world in black and white terms since they are so absolutist about confiscation?

Pretty arrogant to say "I don't see the world in black and white like most people around here"....you have no idea how most forum members view the world. The forums probably a good portion democrats anyway...

I never said it WAS a close election, I said that I PREDICTED it would be and your guy won big. Every credible source was wrong. Nice reading comprehension. I NEVER predicted a Romney win either. So you're basically saying "I told you so!" because I agreed with every major survey instead of you....wow a real dumb move on my part

Also, no legal analyst I've heard thinks Zimmerman has a good chance of conviction, everything I've seen on any station discusses a pretty bug burden for the state (and I don't watch Fox News) I don't know where you keep getting this "like minded people" thing from, obsess much? You haven't a clue who I (or anyone else on this forum)hang out with or whom we discuss anything with. You're talking out of your ass. Just like you were when you predicted a big Obama win. You just got lucky and were correct. Almost every respected outlet predicted a much closer race.

I go by Nate Silver now for election predictions. He has nailed the last 3 perfectly.

Dude is pretty smart.

Any instructors want to post up 5-10 side by side bullet points on the difference between MN and Florida (+ Texas) carry laws?

[gunsmith]

I lasted for 33 minutes but I had to change the channel.

If you have high blood pressure do not watch Nancy Grace. Dr Drew and his 5 'Hens' should be just as bad. Even the guy who is Zimmermans friend, a Mr. Taaffe wasn't defending him well.

Rush Limbaugh has popularized the term 'Low Information Voter' a very clever codeword for STUPID PEOPLE...and the Nancy Grace Show (and the others that are doing 100% Zimmerman) are pitched perfectly at this audience.

Disturbing thought: If Zimm is convicted. Biden and Bloomberg are going to piggyback on this. Al Sharpton already cashed in and I think Trayvaughn's mom has told him to keep away...she doesn't want 'civil unrest' associated w/ the death of her boy.

You keep referring to Trayvon Martin as "Trayvoon". Obviously intentional, it seems disrespectful. What's your reasoning for the intentional misspelling? What point are you trying to make?

Because "Trayvigger" would be too obvious, and he wants to maintain at least the barest semblance of not being a complete racist?

Not sure why he even bothers though. There has been enough other posts that kinda let the cat out of the bag.

I don't think you should be banned. Unless you continue the personal attacks. I've reported you to the mods for the second time in one day...I think you need a 30 day 'vacation'

Well, you sure do seem to be free with the stereotyping. Mind if we try a bit on you? Just cross out the parts that are inaccurate, just so we can tell the difference between who we think you are versus who you really are.

White
Middle aged
Obese
Registered Republican voter
Facial hair
Balding
No college (aka liberal indoctrination camp)
Blue collar job

[gunsmith]

Go Away.

By the way, submitting phony reports in an attempt to get someone banned is also against the TOS. I would tread carefully there if I were you.

[Heffay]

Go Away.

Ouch. I figured I would have missed on a few of them, just by sheer numbers...
