Ex green beret shot dead by 4 yr old son

Tell me, would you challenge Einstein about physics? Or Newton about Calculus? Or any other expert about his or her particular field?

The posts I'm thinking of I wasn't challenging anyone. I admitted I didn't know about a topic, and got flamed - not for what I said about it but for being on the thread. Guess I'm one of those strange people who thinks I can learn from others....

'bout all I'm gonna say 'bout that
 
ps - please DO let me know when Einstein or Newton show up on the board; would be quite amazing to hear from them from the grave.

BTW - "I don't understand it, so it must be wrong" is just a different type of logical fallacy, it is called "Argument from Personal Incredulity". (Although so is an appeal to authority, where somebody calls on an "authority" and suggests that it must be right therefore.)

If you do not have a basic grasp of a conversation, read it first, as participating without understanding (unless it is a call for clarity) isn't cute, it is absurd, and dismissing the argument of somebody with an understanding when you haven't even the foundation whereon to build some understanding isn't just absurd, it is a fallacy....

Well, I'm unaware of these posts, so I'll drop the matter.

Equating yourself with Einstein and Newton?

OHMYGAWD!

The naked, presumptive arrogance is unbelievable.

TAMPA — About 90 minutes after a 9-year-old boy found a loaded handgun in a movie theater bathroom Sunday, sheriff's Detective Luke Hussey realized he was missing his Glock.

Hussey, 38, who has been with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for 13 years, was off duty that day. He had gone to Muvico Centro Ybor 20, according to the Sheriff's Office, about 3 p.m. and stopped in the bathroom before the movie. He put his Glock 26, a personal weapon, on top of a toilet paper dispenser — then forgot it and left.

Minutes later, Temple Terrace 9-year-old Zane Noland entered the same stall and saw the gun. He exited the stall and told his father, Wesley Noland, 48, who had taken Zane and his older brother, Ryan, to the theater to see Man of Steel on Father's Day.

Wesley Noland, a Marine veteran, went into the stall, disarmed the Glock and called 911.

By the time Hussey realized he'd lost his gun, Tampa police had taken it. He called Sunday and asked for it back, police said, but was told only a detective in the firearms unit could release it.

The Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that Hussey is the subject of an administrative investigation that could result in suspension or termination.

"It's obviously a serious mistake," said sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon. "We're glad no one was hurt, that the gun didn't end up in the wrong hands."

He was unsure if Hussey had prior disciplinary issues and his personnel file was unavailable for review Tuesday night. He remains on active duty.

Hussey will not face criminal charges, Tampa police said Tuesday. A day earlier, when news of the boy's discovery broke, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy mentioned possible charges of reckless endangerment or culpable negligence against the gun's owner, whom she said police were still looking for at the time.

"It was always our goal to ensure the person who left the gun face consequences," McElroy said Tuesday. "There is no doubt that will happen within his organization.

let us know when you're going to start holding these highly trained experts accountable, then maybe we'll agree to be held accountable.
