snip van-DUH-mans BS

Because it's impossible for me to understand such irrational people.

I will keep it as simple as I can for you.

1) You made an assertion (Black bears attack to protect cubs)
2) Your assertion was proven to be wrong
http://www.bear.org/Black/Black_Bear_Facts.html
3) I ask a simple question "why cant you admit you were wrong"


Question 1) How is that irrational?
Question 2) Why cant you admit you were wrong?

By your "logic", Chapman must "give a flying ****" about

Nope. I just enjoy poking the idiot with a sharp stick. He's
funny to watch.

Guy

Anyone expecting this guy to tell the truth is in for a rude
awakening.

Mike,
In the thread "Black bear attacks mountain biker in Washington
State
park" your statement that black bears attack to defend their
young. This assertion was proven wrong by two different people
using two different lines of reasoning.

Simply put: You were wrong!

BS. Unless you are a bear, you don't know why they attack.

If you were wrong then, how can I take anything you write
seriously??

Who is in for a rude awaking?? I think it is all of us.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want. Your assertion
was proven wrong. Didnt you even read the replies to your stupid
statement. I will cut and paste it again for you and all to read
once again:



From a long list of characteristics, the last one listed
at http://www.bear.org/Black/Black_Bear_Facts.html is

Greatest misconception:

The greatest misconception about black bears is that
they are likely to attack people in defense of cubs.
They are highly unlikely to do this.

So they MIGHT do it. QED Can't you read?

And a meteor MIGHT hit you in the forehead, but alas, it probably
won't. You love to streatch the truth a bit to fit your odd sense of
the world.

Remember, I am not a mountain biker, therefore; you can not say "Why
Do Mountain Bikers ALWAYS Resort to THREATS AND VIOLENCE?"

But you are a mountain biker sympathizer. QED

Nope ! I am a persom who likes to poke the trolls under the bridge
with sharp sticks.

Once again. You were wrong about your assertion. Why cant you admit
it?

Because it's impossible for me to understand such irrational people.

As soon as you say that, someone will want to try it. Human stupidity
is the only thing in the universe that is infinite (Einstein?).
