That's goading...it's a waste of time trying that with mature people and doesn't gain you status.
Are you and sont losing money with your investment group, so you sink to that? (see, us old folks can also ask loaded questions)
i appreciate this news shared by Desert even though even some layers of deception had to be peeled back to understand it fully.

ahhh so the right wing thinks thats "goading".
perhaps you can help us all out then..; what word does the right use to describe promoting brazenly spurious disinformation to prop up an archaic, dysfunctional cult tap dancing in the skin of a right wing political platform?

In general I think most people are full of shit when it comes to their level of certainty on things. They often don't even realize it. Years ago I got into a disagreement with a poker player about something I claimed I was 100% sure about. But when he asked me if I wanted to bet on it I had to take a step back and reevaluate how certain I really was. It was nowhere close to 100%.
Money talks and bullshit walks. For all its pitfalls, gambling is at least a healthy exercise in objectivity and self-awareness. It forces you to grapple with the possibility that you might be wrong. Sidedish gets mocked a lot around here for being a bad gambler, but he deserves some respect for backing up his convictions. He was a true believer. Desertrunner is not.
There is cheating and fraud in communist China, but the powers have the upper command and handcuff anyone that stands up and tries to prove it. Same with the 2020 election, Trump can be 100%, I could be right, the 72 million voters are right, but we're handcuffed either way. Just because I take a bet with some worm online, doesnt prove, settle or finalize anything here or the national election.

don't know if i represent the "right wing"...who are they?
i speak only for me: i took the offer to bet as more of a statement of a difference of opinion...the second offer had what i consider selfish logic attached to it, ergo a goad.
and when you unload your question and speak plainly I will think about answering it---long winded sentences with 50 cent words died out the William F Buckley and David Susskind.
have a nice day
