What are they doing that is good?There's more cops out there doing good than you'll ever hear about because you're so busy getting outraged about the handful who are bad.

I assume, from a perspective of a person who thinks these kind of events don't deserve to be publicized: "This".What are they doing that is good?
Reddit and 4chan are echo chambers, The Escapists is no where close to that.I wouldn't want the Escapist to become an echo chamber.
The ecosystem of hypocritical, nonsensical, ego boosting, goal posting, contrarian bullshit for the sake of it. We don't need that "ecosystem". You might as well have a dozen of these:Houseman fulfills an important role in the ecosystem.
How about you show us where you've criticised the illegality of people in power on this forum in the last 6 mths?This inductive logic has flaws. It's like saying "the only swans I see are white, therefore ALL SWANS ARE WHITE!"
Houseman isn't an ecosystem, only a small part of it. If that's how you see the forums in general, then it's a larger problem than just a single poster.The ecosystem of hypocritical, nonsensical, ego boosting, goal posting, contrarian bullshit for the sake of it.

Don't spin this about me. He's part of the problem not the solution. I really don't know where you're going with this and I really don't care. His opposition sucks, end of story.Houseman isn't an ecosystem, only a small part of it. If that's how you see the forums in general, then it's a larger problem than just a single poster.
The value of somebody who always argues against the majority is it forces you to think about and justify your position even if everybody already agrees with it. This leads to a stronger and more rational position, rather than one simply based off of emotion. Whether Houseman actually believes what he posts or is just playing devil's advocate isn't material, only that he stands in opposition.
When my car was stolen, they found it.What are they doing that is good?
They didn't tell you there was nothing they could do? Damn, lucky!When my car was stolen, they found it.

Even if my car wasn't found, I wouldn't have had a bad experience with the police. They were polite and professional. They didn't beat me or threaten me or subject me to cruel or unusual punishment.https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-2015/tables/table-24
"In 2015, more than $12.4 billion worth of property was reported stolen nationwide, and 26.1 percent was recovered."
"Among the types of property stolen, locally stolen motor vehicles had the highest percentage of property value recovered at 58.2 percent. Currency, notes, etc. had the lowest, with 3.1 percent of property value recovered"
It only worked for you because that was the single best case scenario, and even then your odds barely beat a coin flip.
There were 226 black deaths caused by police last year. How many did BLM point out?Even if my car wasn't found, I wouldn't have had a bad experience with the police. They were polite and professional. They didn't beat me or threaten me or subject me to cruel or unusual punishment.
Activists would have you believe that this is the norm.
No idea.There were 226 black deaths caused by police last year. How many did BLM point out?
No idea. Go ahead and make your point anytime today.Under 10 or over?
Do you think it was close to 50?
You've been listening to too much Tuckeresqe 'news'No idea. Go ahead and make your point anytime today.
And what do you base that accusation on?You've been listening to too much Tuckeresqe 'news'
Only when they're good at it.The value of somebody who always argues against the majority is it forces you to think about and justify your position even if everybody already agrees with it.
Houseman is a contrarian because it gets him attention and a chance to try and show off. Tstorm and Spectre are at least genuine and articulate their convictions and arguments. I may not agree, but by Christ they can at least be relied on to be good debaters.There's something to be said for always having a contrary argument to everything. I wouldn't want the Escapist to become an echo chamber. Houseman fulfills an important role in the ecosystem.
