For hypocrites, attitudes change quickly

You "feel" I offered you a cookie. In fact, I asked you a direct question. The factual answer to a direct question is a "yes", or "no" in this case.

If I were to ask you if you have a watch, the answer is not to state the current time, or to assume erroneously that I am offering to give you one. Facts are facts, no matter how your emotions may dictate your response.

Your exact words: And "proves" what I already know and never disputed.

You want a cookie?

There is no "feel" there. It is a direct offering. Facts are facts, no matter how your emotions may dictate your response.

The factual answer would have been 'no', or 'yes'. It would be reasonable to answer that question "You want a cookie" in the affirmative or the negative.

Instead, you indicated that you do not want a cookie from me. A cookie that was never offered by myself. It seems that you are emotionally driven to make statements that are only tangentially relevant to the circumstances. Have you consulted an endocrinologist?

It appears your Obamacare sanctioned shrink is not doing a very good job.

I have no irreconcilable problem with the American legal system as such. I do know that I would be unlikely to take a case to trial (where I might lose) if I could settle it for a lesser amount in an expeditious fashion without admitting wrongdoing. Since around 97% of civil litigants demonstrably agree with me, I am content with the odds in favor of my position.

In your example, you are admitting wrong doing. Would you still pay to settle if you had been wrongly accused of a crime or action you in fact did not commit?

You are mistaken, and you are conflating civil and criminal proceedings.

Defendants in criminal cases are not afforded the opportunity to reach a financial settlement with their accuser. The best they can negotiate would be a plea bargain in exchange for a reduced penalty or perhaps a cooperating witness agreement with the prosecution if circumstances allow.

Are you sure you know what you're talking about here?

Instead of boring everyone with your faux intelligence, how about you just answer the question? Would you personally, out of your own pocket, pay a settlement for a suit brought by someone else against you for something you had no knowledge of, nor did you do?
