You’re far more a regressive than a progressive.

What the hell would YOU know about good ideas?

“News Reference”, I’m not sure what planet you are from, but here on this planet that we call Earth, when someone says, “I’m sorry” several times, we tend to consider that an apology, and we say that he ‘made an apology’.
We tend NOT to say “He made no apologies” after he says “I’m sorry” several times.

So if I say, “Dennis, I’m sorry you’re destroying America”, that’s fine?

“And we didn’t invent it either. It was just the normal evolution of little boys and Stingray bikes back in the old days when kids played outside in the woods unsupervised.”

It was a way to emulate motocross bikes when you were a kid. By 1979 it was way old school. In 1970 kids were fooling around trying to hack suspensions onto little beater bikes. Congratulations on making up some rules and having a few good years before your ideas swept the industry. And congratulations on your Olympic endeavers.
A gradeschool buddy of mine basically invented freestyle bump skiing. They owned the tour for a few years and one of them is the national coach.

I’m sure as adults your skillsets produced bikes that were much more sophisticated than the homebuilt hackjobs that kids made in my neck of the woods. But welding was taught in 8th grade metal shop and one kid scratch built a motorcycle. It wasn’t very sophisticated but it had a full suspension. The forks were salvaged.

A good idea doesn’t care who has it.

Look who’s talking.

As I noted before, it doesn’t seem to limit YOU from voicing your views on what is and isn’t fit for Palin to criticize; why does everyone BUT you have to justify their opinions?

What you listed was a series of semantics; BOTH jokes were in poor taste but with the same underlying theme.

The fact you refuse to recognize that only further demonstrates your utter lack of credibility.

LOL! Touche.

Of course not. The bikes were invented in a lot of places and a lot of times, including about 1955 in France. But no one before us ever commercialized the product or turned riding them into an organized sport.

All my buddies and I did was start organized offroad racing in 1976 and design bikes for that racing and open a business called MountainBikes, where we built these things from scratch in a rented garage and sold them for $1300, and then a big company bought four of them and had them copied in Japan, followed immediately by every other bike company and then for about four years every bike company in the world just copied our design and used the name of our business to describe the result.

In 1983 I wrote some rules for racing, which became the Olympic and international mountain bike racing rules. The sport became an Olympic event 13 years later and is now the most popular varsity sport in the high school in my town.

So if you opened a shop before 1979 to build and sell these bikes and the sport took its name from you instead of our business, and you wrote the competition rules still in use, then you beat me to it. Why don’t you get the credit?

I don’t know if you are agreeing with News Reference or not, but I don’t see how you can read that transcript and claim definitively and repeatedly that Limbaugh did not offer an apology such as that which News Reference is doing. You would have to be watching Limbaugh on video tape to make the charge that his words were not sincere and only excuses, and News Reference has not said how and under what circumstances he makes that claim; he just states that he never made an apology. Not to mention that an apology was never demanded because it never rose to the point of a newsworthy controversy; it appears to have arisen many years later when Molly Ivins wrote about it, and then later again by Franken, and even then, much of what they wrote is disputable.

If News Reference has evidence that support that the apologies given from the transcript I provided were not sincere and only excuses, he won’t offer it. Neither does anyone else.

For example, if someone writes: “That Quaker in a Basement guy is a moral reprobate, an ethical fraud, and has a bad haircut. Oh, I’m sorry. No really, I shouldn’t have said that. He has a perfectly nice haircut,” that is not an apology.

“News Reference”, I’m not sure what planet you are from, but here on this planet that we call Earth, when someone says, “I’m sorry” several times, we tend to consider that an apology, and we say that he ‘made an apology’.
We tend NOT to say “He made no apologies” after he says “I’m sorry” several times.

Again, in the link I posted earlier from the Baltimore Sun, Franken’s Rush/Chelsea lie, the author provides transcripts he got from Lexis/Nexis and you can read for yourself:

…Rush apologized several times and told a story about how he had learned early in his career the importance of not making fun of someone’s appearance. He then apologized again and said

“All right. We’re sorry. We didn’t intend to hurt her feelings.”….

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. Let me tell you very quickly what happened last Friday night. “…

“I’m– I hope you will forgive me.”

You can dispute the details of exactly how it happened, even accept Franken’s and Ivin’s accounts of it as Gospel truths, and here’s a lengthy discussion of it from Wikipedia, but you cannot deny that he didn’t apologize, or even ‘never apologized’ as your repeat over and over.

That is, unless you dispute the transcript, or just simply choose to go on lying about it.

We know how you roll, denny. PERHAPS Polack isn’t a racial slur, but it is a slur nonetheless. Your excuses about misspelling is fail. You hardly ever misspell people’s names, yet you go out of your way to make little swipes.

And I was wrong about the Limbaugh apology, I freely admit it. When will you admit to being wrong about anything?

After Limbaugh got called out on attacking a 13 year old girl he did NOT apologize but rather Limbaugh made up excuses for his attack.

Right winger “Dennis” is either too stupid to understand that or is himself a liar.

I’ll concede that right winger “Dennis” could be both: Stupid AND a Liar.

Especially since he still can’t address why Republicans decided to make their Republican Presidential Candidate a man who not only attacked a teenage girl but also called his own wife the C*** word in public and laughed when one of his supporters called Hillary the B**** word.

Oh brother. Good Lord, Duros. First spelling ‘Ted’ with two D’s is an act of desperation according to Pollack, then misspelling Pollack with one L instead of two is somehow racist to you, even though Poland isn’t a race.

Please go back and reread that quote about thinking and speaking. Maybe make a copy of it and paste it up on your bathroom mirror. It’s simple, yet poignant.

No f’ing idea what you’re talking about, Duros. It’s rare that I do, though. Clarity is not something you’re known for.
