Atheists: Fully Human?

[dickay]

Whats the definition of pointless here?

If for example theres evidence that says binglebop is going to rob a bank, and take many hostages in the process. Much of the local intelligence says as such, much of the calls made to other regions confirm this evidence....and the local police decide to obtain state police assistance and set up a large scale sting to stop this threat. The local public is made aware of this issue and LARGELY SUPPORT IT, as does the mayor..town council, local businesses, pretty much all of the community. In addition, all of these people AGREE that the threat is significant enough to demand this action, EVEN if it turns out the evidence is proved wrong.

Was it pointless to take this course of action after we learn the evidence was wrong and public support for it no longer exists?

So what's the point?

First, dickay, I think you've got your hands full here

Secondly, why would you rat out Bingle's plans on here? Now he has to come up with a whole new plan

[HoustonGM]

Am I the only one lost as to where that came from?

A few posts back I said that spending $ on a pointless war wasn't a wise decision when that money could be better spent elsewhere. At least that's what I assume he's referring to

Ah, okay.

[etothep]

Ah, okay.

I would respond, but I'm afraid I may say something that could have multiple meanings & that I'd be arguing semantics with him for the next hour

lol, thanks rick...thats a fair comeback.

Agreed. That's the last time I tell dickay my plans for world domination over a few drinks.

I'll just wait until one of you loses their wallet and take that instead.

Yeah, I was informed of that. It just seemed to come out of nowhere since I hadn't read the post you were referring to since the afternoon, you did not quote it, and there were a bunch of totally unrelated posts immediately in front of your post, so there's no need for the backhanded "this is not surprising" comment.

Now where did my wallet go?

For clarity sake I believe this was the post in question:

add to that spending the money on pointless wars & i'm completely on board with you

However it was in a completely different thread:

Oh, well, gee. Thanks Rick. So I'm not crazy.
