He wasn't wrong. He interpreted my post exactly as he should have.

Gee, you don't get it either? I'm glad Howard does.

Translation: "Damn, i didn't know Phokus was right... why did you have to point that out like that? I look like a fool now :( :( :("

:) keep it up, this is entertaining :)

edit: actually pm me when you make a post, i want to laugh at you after i get up tomorrow morning :)

I always like it when people have to use tons of emoticons do make up their post. Somehow they think it makes up for their poor lack of logic or subject matter knowledge -- almost like it is a sly distraction, and people will just be brought in by the pretty colors.

However, there are two types of people who use lots of emoticons on the Internet.

1. Women
2. Idiots

Which are you? 1 or 2?

I've explained why I was sarcastic. Keeping digging that hole Phokus. You are easily one of the more dense and self-aggrandizing members we have. It makes for great reading. Too bad your words are empty and poorly thought out.

No, you didn't. Howard was sarcastic and he actually did a reasonably good job of it (although he's still a moron). You did not. This is why you are a moron and a liar.

Succinct and to the point. Your logic and reasoning abilities are weak.

edit: keep it up, i'm really enjoying this. It must be painful to be this wrong. Going to bed now :)

edit2: p.s. what emotion? This is cold analytics. The only ones getting emotional are you and the rest of the morons who can't use reason and logic. That's why you guys are getting so flustered :)

Well, I see I am up against a true idiot, so I'm done with the thread. By the way, you realize how stupid you look by being unable to read, right?

My post said "emoticons" and nothing about "emotions." Notice that c? You should probably look up how there is a massive difference and get back to me on it. Seriously? You can't read well?

BTW, you used a bunch again. Glad you are pretty much illiterate -- I sort of expect that out of someone who cannot detect sarcasm, read words, or understand simple logic. What will be your excuse now?

Given the mentioned circumstances, I would probably think different if they had done something like this. But considering they appeared unarmed and didn't defend themselves, I'd assume it was something minor and the first time they stole from there.

Armed robbery is something that I would very much be pissed off about, because it threatens the life of others. Would I support a beat-down? Yeah, probably. Would I support throwing rocks/bricks at them? No, fvcking, way. There's something called "excessive" violence. There's a difference between a nice ass-kicking and a flat-out barbaric assault.

what disturbed me is the bystanders were like enjoying a show or something. I heard too often that the same kind of things happens when someone tried to fight a thief/pickpocket and got beaten to death by group of thieves (mostly a gang), or ppl got beaten to death on the street, and that a lot of bystanders just watch and do nothing, not even call the police. it's sick.

there is a name for this phenomenon in psychology. Im not a psychology major so i dont know what it is-- but supposedly when this type of sh!t happens, when there are a large number of people around, no one does anything. they all just....watch...

I wouldn't be surprised if they came back with guns and blasted their assaulters. I know I would, but then again, I don't steal. Makes me wonder what they stole.

Wow. I don't really like this, actually. I'm all for punishment of crimes, but I'm more of an "eye-for-an-eye" guy. Like, rape/murder=death, stealing=jail-time, assault=jail-beating, etc etc...

Why did this happen...? I can't watch the video, I'm at work. From the sound of it, they're getting mauled brutally for simply stealing.

Thieves they may be, but I've never seen the point in attacking a submissive person like that.

Ask yourself if you'd rather be robbed, or beaten with kicks and punches and cement bricks.

Does the punishment fit the crime?

Someone might steal your wallet, but would you rather they steal your ability to use your hand again? Or leave you with a permanent bodily disfiguration?

Well, technically, aren't human beings the only lifeforms capable of evil on this planet?

It must have been some sort of organized beatdown as punishment or something. I mean would would that one guy lay in the fetal position for about 30 seconds while the other dude is getting beat up? It appeared to me to be some sort of punishment. Either way it was pretty dang excessive. I have no idea what those people did though so I really can't say whether or not they deserved it.
