[quote name='IRHari']He'll never believe you, why do you bother?[/QUOTE]
He won't read the article, either.
It's a combination of things in Bob's case:
1) he desires to believe or not believe things - if you notice, he never stakes a position until the bulk of us chime in. when he does, he alludes to discussions in other threads, staking his territory as nothing more than a contrarian. he is what we are against. if we say the sky is blue, he'll argue against it. Watching his mental gymnastics as he tries to retain the plausibility of whatever preposterous position he holds does amuse the shit out of me. His posts show that he's interested in being right - that is, whatever is the first thing that comes out of his mouth is the true perspective. He then doubles and triples down on it, never budging an inch. The closest he came to admitting he runs his mouth like a
ing idiot was last week when he was dumb enough to say Limbaugh never commented on the frequency of Fluke's sexual activity. Even then he shifted gears, moved goalposts, and tried to hide behind dumbass excuses like "well, I don't listen to Limbaugh much anyway" - and my personal favorite "I don't use google all that much."
You don't use google? You don't search the internet? That's your defense? That's comedy goddamned gold right there. So, no, he won't admit it, but it does amuse the bejeesus out of me to see someone try to cling to the righteousness of their position by claiming they don't search the internet that often.
2) Bob's mind is one in which any and all indirect evidence is worthless. Anything that requires inference, even if it exists in abundance, does not matter to Bob. He wants direct proof. He wants a video of a cackling villainous Republican saying "I can't wait to redistrict ohio to Kucinich out of congress!" and cackling like Dr. Claw before he'll even concede the slightest thing. Even then? Videos can be faked. This is the post-photographic era. Birth certificates are not real, videos can be falsified, etc.
Bob likes to act as if he's above the fray, but he really does have a particular vested interest in a desired outcome - whether it's the perpetuation of the enslaving oligarchical state we're working towards becoming thanks to Republicans, or if he just wants to take the piss of half a dozen people on a video game website, I'll never know. He's learned semantic techniques to disregard evidence that shows him to be someone who speaks with little to no information on a subject.
You're right. But watching him squirm is amusing.
It was fun to watch Houdini get out of the drowning box, not to watch him be put into the box.
