I was upset about the quality of posters, and tone in the courthouse SC...You're not included in that, you're nice and friendly, but the Courthouse has become the 285 corridors cess pool, all the crap goes there. Its not your fault- It seems that the most angry ignorant lunatic fringe desperately needs to shout out their opinions to the world. There are a lot of Eisenhower republicans up here but they don't need to try to influence others with stupid extreme right wing links.. They just don't post here or email everyone they know like these retards...You know, normal people-
THe Courthouse is ugly, and it feels bad...The people are ugly and ignorant
You only have to look in The Mirror to see who's creating much of that cesspool crap in the CH. Name-calling and derogatory comments are your modus operandi these days. How about making it outrageous and fun like you used to? I miss that VL...

The stupidity gets to me SC......I'm aware of it, I understand my responses are inmature, so I try to avoid political threads- but my kids and grandkids have to live in this world with these knuggledraggers. Some days the stupidity doesnt bother me, some days it does, i've tried to determine why that is...
When I go to a new board its all happy and jokes, and I really enjoy myself because I don't hate everyone there, but I've lost respect for 80% of these people so this is what comes out....
SC..They kicked off at 6:00pm and the Seahawks were up by 7 points when this was posted?
He's past posting us!
Late betting or past posting is making a bet after the time when no more bets are to be taken. It is considered cheating; information may have become available, including the outcome of the event, that was not available to those making earlier bets.
The term past posting originates from horse racing where a bugler sounds a "call to the post" just before the race begins. This is also the signal that no more bets can be taken. Any bets made after that time occur after or past "the post".
In other forms of gambling, the dealer may announce "No more bets" or wave their hand over the table in a specific manner. In roulette game for example, past posting refers to placing a bet after the ball lands in a pocket. The player has to distract the dealer's attention to be able either to move the bet to or to place a bet on the winning number. Past posters in roulette games play in teams. According to most cheating strategies the player who succeeded in placing a past posting bet and did not get caught is to make a few more bets (now legal) and leave the table.[1]
This was more feasible in the days before live television or radio broadcasts of sporting events. It is featured especially in the 1973 film The Sting, which was set in 1936, as the basis for the successful con played on Doyle Lonnegan, played by Robert Shaw. In this case they used the wire transmissions of Western Union before they were made public to find results of already run races. In addition, Came a Hot Friday, set in 1949, and starring Peter Bland, showed a less elaborate practice of past posting, but in this case, the ruse all went wrong.
Thank you. I think you'll find that making the choice to respond to people you like and have fun with will in turn make you happier, and we'll all have more fun!
