@ krellin

Please don't call me a hypocrite when you don't even fucking know me, especially if you are just using untrue stereotypes of cops. I'll spare you from an anecdotal paragraph, but I will make one thing clear: I take my job very seriously. I do not break the rules. Every cop in my department feels the same way.

And I don't beat my wife. I have to deal with wife beaters all of the time, and they are all repulsive.

This is sad. We have a self admitted drunk (That was one of krellin's 'excuses' for his asshattery) berating a 15 year old kid.

Classy. But I expect nothing less from Krellin. Despite his tear-jerking "confession and apology" of last week, nothing has changed. He's still the drunken bitter asshole we all know.

I for one have nothing but pity for Krellin.

CM: I've said this before in the depths of one of our more vigorous discussions (and I was myself tearing him a new asshole). You seem to be a decent kid. Just keep the brain engaged and whatnot, and you'll be fine.

@CM: Calling him a bully will just get you made fun of here. I know how to deal with him, and he's not grown up. He acts like a baby. Ignore what he says, it's all immature and plainly asinine.

@ King Atom

CM can speak for himself, but I personally like the choice of words. In CM's defense, krellin is behaving exactly like a common elementary school bully. The word "bully" fits him. Bullies always lose at the end of the day. Someone gets sick of them and decides to do something about it.

I am enjoying watching everyone giving krellin the verbal smackdown he deserves.

lol Wonderful discussion. You all may hate me....but look at you posting and posting and posting away with your opinions. Without me....what would you be doing?

@Gunfighter....Cop. Abuser of the law. Most liekly with a violent undercurrent to his personality. Look at the studies...look who goes in to law enforcement. Of COURSE you say you take your job seriously! I'm sure you do. I'm sure that you are serious about giving tickets to people you don't like. I'm sure that you love when a hot blonde winks at you and you let her off. I'm sure you and your buddies love to have a few beers after work....with the safe knowledge that when you flash your badge, you can drive however the hell you want.

Oh....I've known good cops. I've known more bad. I've known cops wives that hand our their cop husband's business card to get out of tickets.

Cops are a necessary evil....so i respect your *job*....but I have met very few cops in person that I would want to spend any time with. Arrogant, self-absorbed, cocky assholes is what most of you are. And if anyone else on her had any balls....they would admit the same.

If you dropped your defenses for just a moment, and realized that my "stereotype" of you might have some merit, maybe you would actually look back on your life, examine the behavior of your fellow officers, etc. Maybe YOU are a great guy. Who knows. But....you know, *stereotypes* are generally based upon actual facts. Slightly distorted...yes....but there is generally a spark of truth behind stereotypes. So I am happy that you admit that you think I am simply labeling you with a strereotype...becus it means you are half-way to admitting the truth.

Oh...as for me being a "bully" Yawn....agent provocatuer, i prefer. All you self-rigtheous people can stroke CM;s ego, reinforce his *victim-status*.....you you don't benefit him by doing so. I'm not a bully; I'm just honest. But, in today's world, if "honest" means you hurt someone's feelings, you suddenly become a bully. I reject that notion. If my honesty hurts your feelings....too bad, so sad. I won't replay CM's conversation with me in private. I know he put up an edited version....and all you ate it up....but for a person that expresses certain ideals, his pesonal comlaints and wishes are in stark contrast to his stated beliefs.

anyway....OK....done now. *provoke provoke provoke....* All you good sheep can feel free to try to insult me again. Give CM your love, reinforce his victim status....OK....3...2...1...

GO!

Oh...as for those want to hate on me because of a previous personal post I made....did I fail? sure I did. I take full responsibility for it and don't make excuses or ask an apology. I'm glad you all pointed it out. It reinforces the need in my mind to recover. It reinfoces hatred in others. For a select few...it means you will pray harder.

Feel free to assault me - I've earned it. But if anyone thinks that recovery is an instantaneous process, they are simply displaying their desperate ignorance of being human. I would defy any of them to self-examine, find a personal fault, and eliminate it in an instant. This is not an excuse, and not a request for you to take it easy on me. That you verbally beat on me is good....I need to see it. By the same token, the arrogance displayed by some is kind of laughable...

Jack_Klein (897 D)
18 Aug 11 UTC
Krellin, we'd give you credit for personal development if you had shown any actual interest in making yourself a better person.

Alas, you seem to LIKE being a drunken shitbird. So good luck with that. You verbally abuse somebody who is half your age on the topic of maturity... yet you yourself have demonstrated that despite CM's obvious lack of age, he's actually far more of a man than you are. To be sure, that isn't exactly a difficult mark to reach, but he HAS managed to exceed you.

Maybe you should try a sense of shame or remorse... because you don't seem to have either. I almost want to start a "Get Krellin some professional help" fund around here.

Who would be interested in passing the hat to get Krellin some professional substance abuse counseling?

That would be a waste.

@Jack....all i have to say is this. At least when I fly off the handle I have some foreign substance impacting my thinking. YOU, on the other hand....you are a jackass, hate-filled dick all on your own. And Jack...your professed love of CM is hillarious. You *hate* the idea of this child spewing forth all these ideas he has that you know have just been brain-washed into him by his ultra-right-wing, conservative Christian Mommy. but...wait....becuase I disagree with CM you now view CM as your personal fucking hero? Jack...your hypocrisy is beyond belief. You praise someone --- who, let's face it, is more mature than the average 15 year old, and has a mind of his own....you praise him for repeating the nonsense he has been taught without really understanding the impact of his ideas....and yet if someone is older and experienced and says the same thins CM says....they are an idiot?

Jack.....your hypocrisy is enough to make a guy want to puke.

Jack....I *have* expressed shame and remorse....and if you were half as intelligent as you claim to be, you would understand that changing your lifestyle from one of addiction to non-addiction is a process....not a switch you flip. that you...a lawyer....a person that deals with people on a daily basis that are in trouble in their life...that yo uare suchg a cold hearted, uncaring, unthougthful bastard who either pretends to....or really doesn't....understand the issue you are commenting on....

....is no big surprise. You are just that much of an asshole, Jack. No doubt you are a lousy lawyer, to boot.
"At least when I fly off the handle I have some foreign substance impacting my thinking."

I want to point out that krellin incessantly stands this sort of thing.

"Jack.....your hypocrisy is enough to make a guy want to puke."

you too krellin

lol according to Krellin:

If you're a cop you're probably a wifebeater
If you're a teenager, you are incapable of independent thought
If you're a lawyer, you should be... warmhearted?
If you're a student, you are a pansy liberal who hasn't worked a day in his life.

Maybe you should stop judging people on what we do for a living and instead on what we say and how we act? You tend to let people's occupations bias your judgement in the extreme... or you're just looking for cheap shots, I dunno.
Jack_Klein (897 D)
18 Aug 11 UTC
I'm serious. I think Krellin needs extensive professional help.

I'll pledge 50 bucks personally towards this. If there is enough interest, I'll set up one of those donation sites.

The kicker is, Krellin knows so little about me. He assumes because I can construct an argument better than he does that I must be a lawyer.

He assumes because I think he's less mature than CM, that I must automatically love everything CM does.

Krellin, I'd have a lot more sympathy for your supposed transformation if I saw you making an effort. But all I hear is excuses that you can't stop being a fucking tool overnight.

Its simple. Stop being a jackass. Stop drinking. No excuses, just stop buying booze. Or are you that weak that you can't handle your cushy American life without getting trashed every night?
fiedler (1293 D)

I already explained this in the "Apologies to All" thread.

Let me spell it out: Krellin is playing the "BE A COMPLETE PRICK / ATTENTION WHORE THEN EXCUSE MYSELF WITH ALCOHOL AND GET SUCKERS TO FORGIVE ME. THEN REPEAT" game.

Please either ignore him or put him on mute.
