Oil giants report windfall profits

Darla897 :
I read the plain language. I don't contort myself into a pretzel to justify wrongdoing.

Rapsalot :
Are they tested for enhancers?

Rapsalot :
If you can't discern intent then you walk hand-in-hand with what will appear to be paranoia. And, you leave valuable tools out of your toolbox. And to feel justified in your inability you scream at the "wrong-doer".
Okay .... this is just a theory .... well, part of it

kingwooddiscgolf :
The same way it's used in politics.
Oh, and the majority of your "facts" are unverified data collected and distributed by two sites that are owned and run by anonymous sources. Here's some interesting reading.

pickme2 :
There is random testing for anabolic steroids and masking agents.
The Aderalls, ashtma meds and other prescription and OTC meds are not.

pickme2 :
I'm not going to engage with you, because it is none of your business where my baskets or eggs are!

Darla897 :
Plain language isn't paranoia. He couldn't have been clearer in his accusation. I'm not a pretzel.
BTW, your concern about boys participating in girls' sports in Texas is paranoia if it's against the rules and isn't actually happening.

GiggleMugs :
I do not recall asking where your baskets and eggs are ? I asked if your eggs where in one basket. You replied no. Engageing in this chat is your perogative. Silence would have sufficed.

Rapsalot :
You narrowed it to Texas despite my pointing out quite clearly that you narrowed the scope of what I was saying repeatedly and in different ways to "win" the argument. Also, it was the only way for you to hit back on the "paranoia" comment which I tried very hard to soften for your benefit. You should stop at this point. Or would you prefer to answer me next as Sophos.

Darla897 :
Do nyou expect me to address all 50 states, DC and the unincorporated territories. The ridiculous trans campaign stuff is in Texas, not the Northern Mariana Islands.

Rapsalot :
I did not have any expectations for how you would counter; I only sought to defend the rights of those who, I feel, are belittled by how this issue is "reduced" repeatedly. And of course, on the flip side, how the issue is used by the Right which was NOT addressed here.But your statement is telling. You wished to win the argument and to do so, you limited the scope of what I addressed. I proposed you not do something to call attention to something that matters, in my opinion. So again? Who is closer to the issue and feels an importance of issue here? Me apparently. YOU brought in your daughters and SHOE COMPANIES.. really! ... to claim relevance and were told when those things were not relevant and even worse, cried "victim". Your daughters and you had been wronged.I refused to bring in others and did not refer to my closeness to the issue except when answering to someone else who did not goad as you did. I was standing on the merit of the argument while you have used every trick in the book (well, maybe only the ones you deem "worthy" of yourself) rather unsuccessfully.You and Sophos3 and MrsC67 have the exact same amount of ability to stay even before your mental orbit starts getting wobbly. I have wondered often if these profiles are the same person. NOW, you can call me paranoid.
3....2....1.... now!

Darla897 :
I am successful addressing issues cogently. Don't trust me on that, but I am. The audience matters.

Rapsalot : I never referred to anyone in your family.

Sophos3 : My facts.... Interesting.

kingwooddiscgolf :
It was an immediate and direct response. Maybe you should slow down, and dare I say it, think.
