Date: April 21st, 2007 11:22 PM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman i'd have bet a lot, but not my life. i just wouldn't go that far. even a 1% chance isn't worth it. trustafarian is a fucking moron for not realizing the stakes.
the dean had a choice -- betting lives, even on really great odds, when there's minimal cost to him to refuse to bet, is an easy choice.

Date: April 21st, 2007 11:27 PM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman maybe if you were related to the loser. i'm not going to bet my life for some other fucktard. go on, break into my house in the middle of the night... see if i wait to see whether you're just a junky looking for some change to steal, or whether you're there to kill me. i'll put one right between your eyes without hesitation.
my life is worth more than a strangers, if it's a tossup, and the stranger creates the situation in which I need to make the choice. trustafarian put himself in this situation. i know it sucks and i feel bad - but he clearly is an idiot. and so is life...
are you telling me you never alter your behavior in anticipation of the bar? i do... i've walked away from a lot of situations in which i'd typically have reacted in a much more aggressive fashion. once i'm a lawyer i can go back to being more relaxed.. until then i'm vigilant. |

Date: April 21st, 2007 11:59 PM Author: razzle-dazzle vengeful theater incel Remember that the original thread said, "Just decided not to do a murder-suicide copycat at Hastings Law" (and then added "Maybe tomorrow"). So, would I have bet my life that Trustafarian was not going to go GI Cho on UC Hastings that day? Definitely. Who posts that they *aren't* going to do something like that, and then does it anyway?
Now, would I be worried that Trustafarian might have been serious about tomorrow? Maybe. But tomorrow gives me enough time to investigate it, contact law enforcement, and make an assessment, all without evacuating the school and causing unnecessary public attention. If I couldn't get sufficient clarity, I might still be worried about what might have happened tomorrow and maybe shut the school down until it could be determined. Either way, I think what actually happened was a gross overreaction. |

Date: April 22nd, 2007 12:09 AM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman you have got to be flaming here. you either perceive a risk or you don't. if there's a chance the guy is serious you don't then immediatly assume he's open and hoest about his timing, or not prone to changing his mind on timing. stfu you tttsef. i hope you get outted and likewise get fucked for the bar over your idiotic blind support for this idiot.
i'd bet big money you're a republican. |
|
Date: April 22nd, 2007 12:21 AM Author: razzle-dazzle vengeful theater incel I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume he's honest about his timing. If you think he's serious, then he's being honest about his feelings already, why would he then lie about his timing? I'm more worried about the people you know are messed up but who aren't open about their intentions.
You seem to have a lot of pent-up anger. |

It wasn't a 1% chance, but more like the chance that you might get run over walking across the street. It could happen, yet every day you cross the street anyway. |

Date: April 22nd, 2007 1:39 AM Author: Laughsome base this is quite possibly the dumbest thought experiment i have ever seen concocted.
what does it mean to "bet your life?" you seem to think it means that if there is ANY chance you might die, then you should not follow that course of action. that is a bit naive. after all, we drive cars, have sex, take walks -- each of which carries a CHANCE of death. clearly, it matters what the payoff is.
so, what's the payoff to "betting" that Trustafarian was joking? well: no evac, no career destruction, no celebration of douchebaggery, and no stupid fucking threads like this one. compared to the chance that he was serious ( essentially zero), yeah, i'll take that bet.

Date: April 22nd, 2007 1:41 AM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman actually, no -- the point is that there is basically no reason the hastings dean wouldn't react if he came across the thread (or was shown it by a Leiter-type). he only stands to benefit (stop massacre, or get attention). the point is that hastings didn't need to bet at all -- simply needed to call the feds.

Date: April 22nd, 2007 1:45 AM Author: Laughsome base "the point is that there is basically no reason the hastings dean wouldn't react if he came across the thread (or was shown it by a Leiter-type)"
i'm sorry, i didn't realize that we were pretending to be a TTT Dean in a politically sensitive situation who (i'm sure) didn't actually think anything was going to happen, but simply had to react to appear vigilant. he wasn't "betting his life." he was being a dean in the wake of a tragedy. maybe if your hypo didn't suck so bad, your point could actually manifest itself.
EDIT: that means i agree with you about what appears to be your main (and meaningless) point that the dean acted rationally, but it's an uninteresting point and has nothing to do with betting lives. |
|
Date: April 22nd, 2007 1:48 AM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman if i was the fucktarded fuck who was about to post the post in question i might stop and actually go so far as to pretend to be the TTT dean in a politically sensitive situation, and say "shit, i want to be an attorney, and i don't like being interviewed by feds -- as my own best counsel, i advise against this course of action". forsight is not exactly rocket science. basic stuff.

Date: April 22nd, 2007 2:13 AM Author: razzle-dazzle vengeful theater incel What you fail to understand is that this is not a matter of foresight, because you cannot escape your hindsight bias. Of course it seems like a stupid thing to say now. But that doesn't mean that we should add punishment to our criticism.
Think about your own posts. Why do you accuse me of being a Republican (also presumably you're hating on Republicans), say you hope I fail the bar, and claim that my LSAT is lower than 160? You probably do not seriously believe any of these things. But you said it because you wanted to and because you don't think it will have any consequences.
I bet you didn't stop to think that maybe I could go to Reputation Defender or something, or somehow try to figure out who you are, sue you for defamation or something, etc. Of course the chances of all this happening (and being successful) are close to 0%. But that's what you think now. I bet that's what Trustafarian thought when he posted also. If I were successful in outing you or suing you, anybody who read this thread would tell you, "Wtf? Why would you have posted all this stupid stuff? You had nothing to gain and (as it turns out) everything to lose."
So yeah, think about that the next time you're so quick to condemn somebody for their posts. I'm not saying you shouldn't criticize stupid posts or bad jokes for what they are. But don't assume that somebody who makes a mistake did it because they were retarded. |
|
Date: April 22nd, 2007 2:17 AM Author: supple nursing home skinny woman i srsly think you're a republican, and i think repdef is an entirely different issue. i'm all about saying whatever the fuck we want. free speech has consequences sometimes. it's a shame that trusty had to learn the hard way, but the fact that he did most likely indicates that being a lawyer was probably not the best path for him anyway.

Date: April 22nd, 2007 2:52 AM Author: Provocative Painfully Honest Therapy From my limited knowledge of this board, there appears to be a lot of posters and lurkers who love to forward posts on this board to cause havoc. Since this poster has been here longer than I have, he has no excuse for not knowing.
It's not too hard to work through in your head:
I am posting this to a site frequented by a number of people who take pleasure in causing trouble. There is a high probability that someone will forward this to Hastings or to law enforcement.
Some nutjob in Virginia just shot up a school and killed 30+ people. Within hours, every media station in the country was criticizing the administration for taking two hours to email the VaTech students about a murder-suicide at a dorm.
The response at Hastings is easy to predict. They're going to call the FBI and either lockdown the school or heighten security. They won't care how credible the threat is. The name of the game is CYA. |
