    You have a long history on SportsJournalists.com of when your arguments are exposed as nothing but drivel, your next move is to call the poster who exposed you either stupid or a liar.

    It's no lie that your posts don't even deserve a response. And nearly all of SportsJournalists.com agrees with me on that front.

    You are actually going to talk about another poster not being taken seriously? That's pretty funny.

    No surprise that you would run away from the actual topic and attack me. You know you're wrong and you know I caught you lying. I didn't say you were stupid. I said you aren't stupid enough to believe the crap you are posting on this thread.

    And yes, I have accused posters of either lying or being stupid. That's how I respond to bullshit like what you are posting on this thread. The person either has no clue what he or she is talking about or they are lying. There is no other option.

    All of this is your attempt to draw the attention off topic. You are claiming that those of us who want new and tougher laws against texting and driving are insisting that current laws against distracted driving not be enforced. None of us said that. You made it up. Show me where posters on my side of this discussion said that, or even something remotely close to that. Try actually arguing the point with facts instead of distractions, lies and personal attacks for once.

    Yeah, I participated in a fake experimental launch when i was five.


    I'm still waiting for you to show us where any of the posters on this thread supporting tougher legislation against texting while driving said the current laws against distracted driving should not be enforced. Come on, tony. You've made that accusation more than once. Time to back it up.

    I'd be surprised if oop even had a bachelor's, never mind being a rocket scientist.

    Waiting in line at the coffee shop drive-thru, I was listening to the conversation of the woman ahead of me, who was using a hands-free device with speaker, apparently. She was deeply engrossed in her conversation. I noticed her vehicle was in reverse. I suspected she did not know. I backed up about eight feet. She needed almost all of that when she began her getaway and realized she was going backward.

    It's true distracted driving comes in all manner of circumstance. But as I drove away, aware of so many things I've seen lately, it seems obvious to me we've become a society where driving is almost an afterthought for those behind the wheel. While that was probably true to some extent 20, 30, even 40 years ago, we're making it increasingly easier for people to multitask while they drive. And a generation is growing up wonder what the big deal is.

    And yeah, that scares me.

    No rocket scientist, but I do have a master's degree.

    You're the one who brought it up. Why should I pass up yet another opportunity to show that you have no idea what you are talking about?

    Now, do you actually have something to say on topic?
