AP or Sagarin?

Use whatever you want. Post them here. Show that right to work states have better economic ratings (state GDP, growth, etc.) than non-right to work states. I'll be interested to see what answer you come up with.

I have no point to prove, you were the one who made the statement without facts. You may not have been an economic major but you aren't really going to use unionization or lack thereof as the sole basis of the economic health of a state are you? That would be like rating an NFL team based on the long snapper.

Business Insider ranked the top 10 states in terms of Economic Growth.
8 were right to work states and of the 2 that were not 1 was Alaska which hardly has any people. LOL

I'm sure that the source will be criticized...but she did say use whatever I want

I said: Yes, there are other states, in fact many more states, that are economically doing better than the above "right to work" states. They do not have right to work laws, however.

You can agree to that statement, or dismiss it out of hand, or disprove it, or prove it. Your choice.

Very nice.

This isnt a court case. If you make a statement w/o supporting data than your statement is usually dismissed. Of course the link I just provided may shed some light on your "theory" and the sad truth that you are probably wrong again.

Yes, feel free to dismiss my statement out of hand, or prove it wrong. Go for it! :tro:

I tried to trade you to paceadvantage.com for the bananas guy and a poster to be named later but David Stern overruled the deal as bad for the internet. True story. Try to prove it isnt true.

What are you mentally, five? :D Now you're just embarrassing yourself.

Did you read what you wrote in post #168?

What is embarrassing is your inference that right to work states weren't seeing economic growth and your insistence that we "disprove" your bullshit as opposed to you supplying supporting evidence.

Another Derby Trailer e-mailed me this about you and your buddies here:

LOL

So it is ok for you and the mystery PM'er to make assumptions...LOL!

The hypocrisy in here is getting thick...

Yes, like you and your "we" friends :D

Funny I always thought PM's were called private messages...I try to keep them that way.

You still havent addressed the fact that your hypothesis was seemingly in error considering right to work states. But I guess it is better to distract from that.

Nice distraction segue :D I already said your post about right to work was, and I quote, "very nice".

And I said e-mail, not PM. Try to keep up. The other Derby Trailer said this about you and your buddies on these threads tonight:

And yes, I sure agree with that.

Damn it you got me! I said PM when it was an email.

So it is a distraction to bring up an actual topic (brought up by you btw) AND it is ok for you and the mystery emailer to make assumptions about me and my buddies (laughable by the way) but we can't make those same things about you?

Sometimes I think this is like a Jedi mind trick or something...

No. Just your big amygdala reacting as you always do :D

I had to sign in to comment on this gem.

First off, if whatever the annon poster said is true, than Riot must be the most fearful and insecure person on the planet.

and also, said annon poster is out of his/her mind.

It's probably Bent My Pud trying to get in her pants with effeminate gossip.

There ya go again, Hitchensing up the joint....Clyde is gonna get you...:D

Why in the world would somebody who has met Cannon and is shocked his behaviour is so rude and nasty to me (especially as they knew I worked for him), and comments on Dell and DaTruths typical crazy nonsense, make me fearful and insecure?

There are many more people on this board that lurk than post. Especially in Politics, where there are only a few of us willing to put up with the Obama-liberal-cursing-attack-hate-fest some of you guys can't let go of. I never posted in politics, until the Obama-hate got downright ridiculous around the election. Some of us laugh at the bullies here, and enjoy the jousting, and others most certainly do not and have left or lurk. But that doesn't mean everyone else thinks as you guys do. Hate to break it to you, there are lurking moderates and even - gasp! - liberals on Derby Trail ;)

So you play to your audience of each other when you post, but there are far more people watching than I think some realize.

I'm waiting for a picture from Coach.

I could care less about lurkers who don't post but then can send anonymous emails disrespecting people who are posting.

liberal lurkers, please express your opinion on here. Democrats and / or liberal arent the problems here. Its good to debate with people who have different opinions. There's been plenty of dems that have posted on this board with no problems.

It's you (Riot) specifically. and the pompous, a-hole, $hit-dont-stink attitude you have. If lukers have a problem with what is posted on here, who gives a flying fucl<?

Hey Riot defending Lurkers.. if you have such a problem, come on here and defend Riot. If not, then tell her not to make your private emails public. It's pretty low to post someone's private thoughts and then use it to try to prove some point.

I was just using Cannon's royal "we". I can't do what he does?

They are not anonymous. I know them. Get over it - people on this list are gossiped about privately all the time. Don't act angry or shocked. Unless nobody ever sends you PM's or e-mails, then maybe you don't realize. I have contact with quite a few people I met through DT, and yeah, we talk about threads at times. Behind all the posters backs! <vbg>

Sorry, you are responsible for your own behaviour and feelings. Not me. If you don't like another poster, grow up and use the ignore function. You don't like when I post stuff positive to the Dems, or against the Repubs, don't read it. Your pompous, a-hole, $hit-dont-stink attitude isn't something I have to deal with, just because you are having a hissy fit.

As I said, few post here due to the bullies. Some of us just laugh at you.

you have no idea how much I laugh at you. Out of all the people I know who think they are smart, you are by far the most clueless. and I'll say I, instead of us, because I dont speak for everyone like you seem to.

you'll have to ignore me bitch, because I thoroughly enjoy calling out your bullshit.

and one more thing. We're in america, and you are an american. there is no "U" in behavior, nor color, or flavor, etc. leave the U's to the brits.

Since you are fond of putting up polls can you out one up for me? Ask Derby Trail who is most responsible for ruining the politics forum. Here are a few suggestions but feel free to add any member you would like:

Riot
Anti
Cannon
Dell
Summer

Laugh all you want. Be a common name-calling cursing witch. You'd probably be surprised who watches it. Or ashamed. Or not. It doesn't seem you much care for your reputation. And as much as you try to make your discomfit all my fault, sorry - you get to own your behaviour all by yourself. Good luck with it. And suffer through the misspellings.

since you revised your post I'll add something. I could care less about anonymous people talking **** about me behind my internet back.

Then don't respond to it and make a whole angry post about it ;) Tell me you have never talked about another person on this board via PM or e-mail?

Oh, I'm sure you'll say me. Maybe I should just point you to User CP and the ignore function? Or, lets put up a poll about who curses out other posters and starts fights the most?

and if people are objective then they'd realize you are as guilty as anyone when it comes to being a name calling cursing witch. at least I dont act like a know it all. I've been proven wrong numerous times on this board and have owned up to it. I have no problem looking at things from different perspectives. You, on the other hand, must be a direct decendant of Zeus.

I'm not ashamed at all. If someone judges me based on the politics section of a internet message board then fucl< em.

Yes. I tend to treat others exactly as they treat me, and will respond in kind. I don't tend to be the one starting the cursing s.hit-slinging, like you just did in this thread.

BTW, I've said I was wrong plenty of times on this board - it tends to get overlooked and ignored, along with things I have or haven't ever said, when a few have an agenda. See Cannon and Dell, for example.

Your turn, and you can have the last. Go ahead and call a bunch of names. Sorry you having a foul mouth doesn't shock and offend me. I know that angers you.

nobody that i've never called out to their face. but cannon and I have certainly shared some texts about you.

oh thats right, you're the victim :rolleyes:

lets all have pity on poor Riot.

You seem to think others are to blame. This is a democratic way of seeing if you are correct.

this began because you cowardly copied and pasted private emails, about someone who I consider a friend, on an internet message board. but spin away.

[quote=3kings;835403]You seem to think others are to bla

I don't "blame" other for anything. What people are, what they post over time, tends to stand on it's own.

And I have no doubt nobody would ever consider me as "ruining" the politics board if everything I posted matched the Obama-sucks-hate meme that runs rampant here. Just sayin' :rolleyes:

lol.. that eerily sounds just like someone else!!!

LOL. No. No victim here. You are what you are, you behave as you do, you post what you do, and I say what I do and post what I do.
