Wow .. you never cease
tossing around YOUR attitude enriched opinion as being the only one that matters

"should have died" somehow sounds so much different than "would have died".
Then maybe it is me, English is not my native tongue and I frequently employ the dictionary. Sometimes the dictionary does confuse me.You WOULDN'T think it SHOULD. But it does.
Learn English .. and it's complex differences and dialects. Stop trying to overthink someone's meanings on an OT forum reply. It was a reply... and my opinion. It wasn't a Presidential Address. Or, would, could, should you like to define the word "IS" for us now?
Let' let this one go into the memory lane.
You are digging yourself deeper as you explain yourself further. Recommendation would be to say no more and let others guess how much more hatred someone is capable of, rather than remove any doubt.
How bout you start off each of these with "In my opinon .. and that of my cheerleading squad" ??
{b]Some of us think his reputation is very much intact. So no need for you to wish him a certain death before he "eff'ed it any more.[/b]
And some people believe in the tooth fairy and world peace is obtainable, but how bout coming back to reality now, um k?
I think CS can list a whole bunch of accomplishments that would enhance his reputation. I don't think he worries too much if you and I approve of them. He is not done yet!
What will be on your epitaph?
And one "aw chit" can expell those admirations. My epitaph? I suppose, He didn't cave to BS rhetoric or honor false heros. Knew the definition of a SNOB - and didn't allow them to sway his opinions. How bout that? What? Did you expect me to seriously answer that crap?
He also showed a lot of class, after loosing his lawsuit he went out and offered a CSX car to the masses for under $40K.
Class? HA! Smart business move is more like. "Can't beat them? Join them". ... DUH.
"If Smith Bros. were to conduct themselves...."
Who do you want to decide if Smith's were conducting themselves properly. ME?
It's your opinion Turk. Free will and all the good stuff. How bout giving it so I can start ripping your a new one for having one that doesn't conform to mine? See the point yet?
Who the hell am I to call them a POS because I didn't agree with the way they conduct themselves.
Same applies to you too. You are way too short of talent and authority to decide if Shelby is short of YOUR expectations. He seems to satisfy others just fine.
It is not that you disagree with what he is doing that bothers me. It is the fact that, because you disagree he should be the target of insults.
I don't believe you have that right no more than I do if I didn't approve of Smith Bros'way of doing business.
Right? I have no
right? Obviously you're not from this Country. I have every right. Born here. Served my Country. Fought for my Country. Still serving my fellow man with my chosen career. I have every right to state my opinion within the limits of the Constitution. Who the hell are you to tell me I can't?
Three years in a row I have been an active participant in raising money for one of Smith Bros. daughters, Jenny.
I don't see the relevence to this discussion ...
If I thought they were a POS I would wit hold support, and not just go out and call someone a POS.
It is easy to resort to verbal assaults when the recipient is an 80 year old man.
I bet you wouldn't say that to his face, if he was standing there and was in his 30's and built like he could take your head off.
uh huh .. whatever you say there big guy. My Dad can beat up your Dad.
If you pay attention, for a change I am not typing this as a moderator. It is just me , TURK. So, no moderator clout on this one.
This is just me. Take it or leave it.
Wrong. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. You can't
turn on - turn off the fact that you are a moderator here .. and the fact that your very first reply was swinging the moderator flag. Or the fact that your replies/opinions can be regarded as that of this Forum Administration.
If your wishes had come through, and indeed Shelby died at an earlier age, you and I would probably not be here because Cobra as we know it, may have remained a vision that died with him as well.
Maybe you wish, he died as a teen. Either way, now or later when he is dead and gone, he will leave behind a family and a long line of fans who will be glad to be mourning his passing, while you drink another pitcher of beer celebrating his death.
Whu? Maybe .. shoulda-coulda-woulda? How bout if he had died by the mid-1970s. Ya know, prior to accident where his head went up his 4th point of contact? What then? Who cares? He's a leech, trying to suck the fun out of being an enthusiast.
Your bat is NOT that big use it very carefully you will strike out.
You are right about one thing it is NOT raining.
Is that you Turk? - the MODERATOR talking or a Replica on him? Yup - it's
not rain .. and you're full of it.
You didn't "come here to fight", why are you here then? Actually had you have come in here to fight, you wouldn't have lasted here that long.
As it is , you just got here and look what you have done.
Shame on you.
Turn that thought process around. Why are you here? Why did you start in on me? You could have disagreed with my opinion .. without insulting me. See the hypocrisy yet?
If I found out that you are in your teens, shame on me for wasting my time with you so far.
If you are anything past 19, an adult and feel the way you do, SHAME ON YOU!!
TURK
Shame on you anyway.
