what MarkT said
got nothing against him

Have nothing against Jayx1 and imo doesn't deserve to be banned/Ignored..

my 2 cents

Question for Jayx1

Jayx1, don't take this the wrong way (and if it's been covered before then I apologize for not wanting to sift through mounds of old posts), but i'm curious to know a few things about you....

mainly, how old you are and what your educational and/or work backgrounds are?
given your obvious interest (and apparent 'expertise' ) in political, legal and cultural discussions, I'm interested to know what experience you are speaking from

Degree in Psychology. Worked part time in bylaw services for 3 years. Also worked in various nightclubs for 5 years. Now a brand new entrepreneur. Plus ive been reading and watching the news since i was 5 years old.

(i didnt know resumes were needed to post on a message board..... well i guess if dishwashers need resumes these days it makes sense)

heheheheh

i think the first 2 lines are enough to explain his passion for local politics

Exactly, because ive seen how stupid blind sighted laws can affect our everyday lives.

how old are you?
have you ever held a full-time job?

Yes (as if that matters) and my age isnt important...

frankly, i'm interested....
I'm trying to determine if I'm correct in assuming that essentially your opinions are those of a lay person with virtually no experience or education at all in law, politics, finance or public service apart from some sort of student-type position in a municipal bylaw dept.

well layman or not (layperson is one PC word i will NEVER use), a person's opinion is always a valid one. It doesn't mean it holds true necissarily but if the person expressing it feels passionately about it than it's their version of what is correct. There is never one answer for a complex problem. Trying to discredit someone because they may or may not have a job or professional experience isnt always the answer. Some of the smartest people i know have never even finished high school.

Having said that my personal experience both in life and professionally have taught me quite a bit about how the world works, especially when it comes to politics and law. Im no lawyer, never claimed to be and never will be, but i feel that i have a better knowledge of my rights as a citizen than most people in this country no matter what age.

And no i was never a student worker. Bylaw dept where i live hires most of its staff part time to avoid unions and benefits costs. This is why i have decided to work for myself.

thanks...you've (mostly) answered my question...and from your answer it would appear that my assumption was, for the most part, correct

don't misinterpret my intentions...I'm not trying to discredit you or be condescending....I was simply to trying to get a handle on what kind of experience and expertise is behind your opinions, whether I agree with them or not

your assumptions being?

Considering you dont know me and still dont know me i find it quite amusing that you are making judgements here. I wont ask what you do or who you are because quite frankly i dont care. Your opinions are your opinions... end of story.

the assumption was that you have "virtually no experience or education at all in law, politics, finance or public service"

Who I am, and what I do, aren't of any relevance here. I'm not the person who has taken it upon themselves to educate this forum on politics and the like. Given that you come across as being quite the expert in this area, I was interested in your background.

Ahhhh but have i not provided facts every single time from a valid source? Yes i have.

Just because im not a professional politician doesnt mean i dont know politics.

no question....you are absolutely correct....
but given that you've turned so many threads into your own personal soapbox, and that you seem to think that your opinion is more valid than others, I thought it was useful to get a better idea of exactly who I was listening to

Right.... so because i feel passionately about my opinions some how they become more invalid.

Hmmm well so far based on what you have said i have come to the conclusion that you feel that unless someone is getting paid, or had been paid to do something in their life, their opinions about a topic are irrelevent. Which means most people here probably shouldnt be talking about much more than flipping burgers or pumping gas. I guess that also cuts out all the tiesto threads too since most people here are not DJs..

one's background, education, employment, etc. really has little to do with how valid one's arguments prove to be...an position stands on its own merits...but in terms of how our opinions are formed and what our perspective on certain issues might be, I think it's worth knowing a bit of background so long as that isn't used in response to the person's arguments (ad hominem attacks are lame!)

It's relevent if it adds to your comment but irrelevent if it doesn't. There are many different avenues one can take to educate themselves. One way is by opening a business. Now theres a quagmire of legal BS if i've ever seen one.

so don't be surprised if some people here choose to put you on ignore, because once you read 10 Jayx1 posts, you have read them all.

I never said or implied that. Don't put words in my mouth.

I never said or implied any of that either. Again, don't put words in my mouth. From the start, I said I didn't intend this to be a means to discredit you. My intention, as I previously stated, was to get an idea of what kind of background you have that might lead you to be an 'expert' in so many arenas. An opinion isn't made any less valid by ones background, or lack thereof, but given that you have such a strong opinion on so many things under the sun, I was trying to get a better sense of what might be behind some of those opinions.

LOL Simon, why do you bother!? hah

Frankly... i dont give a crap if people put me on ignore....

There are plenty of threads on here that i dont read and you dont see me crying.

this sounds like an aim to discredit if you ask me. Just because you say "i dont mean to discredit" doesnt mean anything. In fact, ironically when people make a comment like this, usually they do mean to.

Either way it doesnt matter. Its a stupid message board. People can say and think what they want.

It's really interesting that so many of your arguments eventually result in statements similar to this one
For someone who seems to like debate and rebuttal so much, it's a weak cop-out

Not at all... i supported my arguement but at the end of the day that statement really does hold true...

Personal attacks may be designed to hurt my feelings but unless they are coming from supposed friends or family in real life i really dont give a rats ass. And, i know that really pisses some people here off.
