Why not just kill Agatha's mother outside of DC


The film opens with a discussion about pre-crime going national.

So why not just arrange to meet Agatha's mother outside of DC and kill her there? Job done.

Additional, how could it go national when the pre-cogs had a limited range of 200 miles (because... Well just because they did).

Were there more pre-cogs?

reply

Very good point about killing outside of DC. The director of PreCrime should have been the first person to think of that, also.

reply

It's not a very good question at all. In fact, I think it's a stupid question.

And it's been asked before a number of times. See this thread:

Of course it's good question. You're presumably too much of a cretin to see it. Let me help your gentle mind.

1) All he needs to do is have her killed outside the range.

2) How does pre-crime go national?

reply

No, it isn't. And for the record, I'm not referring to the "How does pre-crime go national?" question. That is actually a good question - I don't dispute that. There isn't an answer either, unfortunately. It's not explained in the film so we can only speculate.

But, as was referenced in the thread in the last post, killing her (or having her killed) outside the range would have meant a full-on murder enquiry. That would be a huge risk to Burgess - just as it would for anyone who decides to commit murder.

However, killing Ann Lively the way he did by taking advantage of the system that he runs gave him absolute control.

It's a shame you couldn't see the bigger picture. :)

Durp.

No it wouldn't because Burgess wasn't doing the killing. That's the point. He would hire a drifter to do it so the drifter getting caught would be exactly the same as what he planned in the film except he (Burgess) would be utterly untouchable.

And before you say... but the drifter might have confessed that Burgess put him up to it... Well that applied in the movie too. The drifter was arrested by pre-crime and could have told the authorities that he was paid to do it by Burgess.

Let me simplify it for you:

Tell Anne to meet in some place outside the radius. Hire a drifter to kill her once she arrives. Drifter goes to prison (and hope the drifter doesn't drop you in it).

Or (what the film does)

Create a massively elaborate scenario where you pay a drifter to kill Ann then when he's captured by pre-crime officers, you recreate the murder with the exact same location and physically kill her yourself (and still hope the drifter doesn't drop you in it).

I mean seriously. 

Which authorities? Burgess was the authorities. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, John Doe was a bum and a drug addict. Burgess might have promised him a lifelong ecstatic rush while in prison when he does exactly as told (and never exposes anything about the pre-meditated plot). In other words, getting incarcerated and provided with free drugs for life, without ever having to worry anymore about how to get through the day, might have been exactly John Doe's goal.

Pre-crime didn't take testimonies from their captured "suspects"; that was not their job. The "suspects" weren't even really "suspects" anymore: the previsions were considered sufficient evidence to catch and sentence those pre-murderers immediately, without any subsequent trial, hearing, or whatever. In other words, they were considered automatically guilty, beyond any reasonable doubt. Furthermore, as soon as they were halo'ed, they were numb compliant zombies; there was pretty much no opportunity for them to resist their sentence by making their voice heard.

Why not just kill Agatha's mother outside of DC
Why would Burgess consider that? His actual plan, where he had complete control over every single detail (or at least he thought so), was almost perfect, nobody even knew that Anne Lively was dead (as far as people knew, the attack on her life had been prevented), and Burgess would have never been found out if it wasn't for an "unfortunate" collision of circumstances eight years later...

Yeah, that's called gibberish, pal. If Burgess is the only authority then why not just kill Anne and tell the pre-crime staff to ignore it. Clearly, his power and reach was limited.

And, if the "authorities" didn't care about your confession/evidence/motvation then all you would have to do to get away with murder would be... Hire a hit man.

The hit man is arrested but apparently (according to you) isn't questioned. Yeah, you're dumb. If that were true, pre-crime would simply create a society where all attempted murders would be committed by drifters and people who were willing to take the fall for money.

Why would Burgess consider that?

Yeah, I'm gonna repeat it because apparently there's a lot of dumb people here.

Option 1: Pay drifter to meet Anne outside DC and kill her. Job done. Drifter might confess you put him up to it (and that's if he's even caught).

Option 2: Pay drifter to kill Anne but then get caught by pre-crime and then recreate the murder with same location and murder her yourself (drifter might confess you put him up to it).

The first option has NO downside except the drifter accusing you. Second option (the one seen) has the same downside (drifter accusing you) PLUS Agatha SEEING it was you and setting off a chain of events that lead straight to your door.

Dumb!

Burgess may not have been the only authority; but he was pretty much the highest (local) authority. And he did (ab)use the possibilities within his power and reach (limited or not) in order to get away with murder - twice.

And, if the "authorities" didn't care about your confession/evidence/motvation then all you would have to do to get away with murder would be... Hire a hit man.
No smart hitman would take that job because they'll know that they will be caught and incarcerated for life even before they have finished the job. The dumb hitmen who do take the assignment will simply end up in Containment before killing the target. Essentially, the Pre-Crime system works. No matter how many murders you plot and how many (smart or dumb) hitmen you hire, the murder success rate will be practically zero. Why should the "authorities" put in the effort (time, money) to go after the masterminds if they already succeeded in preventing every murder by simply catching the perpetrators?

The hit man is arrested but apparently (according to you) isn't questioned. Yeah, you're dumb.
It is shown in the freaking movie! And you're calling me "dumb"?

Did you not catch that the pre-vision analysis procedure in the room with the large transparent computer screen before the two "judge-witnesses" served as a courtroom-trial-substitute to establish the guilt of the predicted would-be perpetrator? The Pre-Crime system operated as "judge-jury-&-executioner"-in-one. They were not going to question the man after they had caught and immediately halo'd him; all the objective evidence that the system deemed necessary to sentence him was already in the pre-vision. What reason would the authorities have for an interrogation/to what purpose would they interrogate the drifter?

If that were true, pre-crime would simply create a society where all attempted murders would be committed by drifters and people who were willing to take the fall for money.
... and people who'd lose their composure in the heat of the moment. Yes, that's exactly the dystopia that the movie depicted; did you even watch the movie with your eyes open?


Yeah, I'm gonna repeat it because apparently there's a lot of dumb people here.

Option 1: Pay drifter to meet Anne outside DC and kill her. Job done. Drifter might confess you put him up to it (and that's if he's even caught).
You haven't watched a lot of movies, have you? What could happen is that your hired drifter simply screws up, and the crime doesn't go as planned at all. Watch for examples: Dial M For Murder, or A Perfect Murder. You, mister mastermind, are miles away, and won't know about any of the details of how your little plan went wrong, until the FBI comes knocking at your door and you become their mouse to toy with. Does that sound like a risk you would be willing to take? Another unwanted scenario is that drifter runs out of money after having spent it all on hookers/drugs, and repeatedly comes back to blackmail you into giving him more. What are you going to do, hire another drifter to kill the first drifter, again outside DC?

Option 2: Pay drifter to kill Anne but then get caught by pre-crime and then recreate the murder with same location and murder her yourself (drifter might confess you put him up to it).
Drifter is not going to confess because you devised those haloes that turn the arrested into numb dazed zombies.

The first option has NO downside except the drifter accusing you. Second option (the one seen) has the same downside (drifter accusing you) PLUS Agatha SEEING it was you and setting off a chain of events that lead straight to your door.
Apparently you still don't understand that, in order for a unanimous prevision to occur that has your name on it, Pre-Crime has to catch the fall-guy first; because if fall-guy isn't arrested in time, the target still gets killed and your objective has still been met, without any reason for the precogs to predict you as being a perpetrator. Moreover, since you're the head of Pre-Crime (and the local police forces), you can see to it that fall-guy is arrested and silenced forever, you can instruct your staff to ignore any "echos" that might come in after fall-guy's arrest, and you can make any possible "minority reports" disappear; and should Anne Lively's corpse still pop up (even though you knew where and how you disposed of it thoroughly), you can manipulate the investigation to your bidding.

Now, again: which option looks more attractive to a guy like Lamar Burgess?

Because what idiot would commit a murder in a city where pre-crime exists? They would all quickly learn to do it OUTSIDE the city so eventually any premeditated murders that took place inside the city would instantly set off alarm bells and be viewed as hugely suspicious by the authorities. If they know they're going to be caught, why would they still do it... unless something more is going on. Basic policing.

A straw man since the exact same problem applies if you hire the drifter to do it inside DC. Remember dingus, the pre-cogs don't see screw-ups they only see successful murders. If your drifter screws up... no-one sees it.

Drifter is not going to confess because you devised those haloes that turn the arrested into numb dazed zombies.


And again, that applies to murders outside DC. Why would those arrested for murder in pre-crime DC receive different treatment to murderers outside DC?

Apparently you still don't understand that, in order for a unanimous prevision to occur that has your name on it, Pre-Crime has to catch the fall-guy first; because if fall-guy isn't arrested in time, the target still gets killed and your objective has still been met, without any reason for the precogs to predict you as being a perpetrator.


And apparently, you're not listening.. The pre-cogs would see Burgess killing Anne and he would be arrested BEFORE he even hires the drifter. The murder that he therefore would commit is stopped before the murder the drifter would commit is even thought of.

The second option is playing with fire because it's Agatha's mother and provides her with an incentive that could come back to bite him on the arse. The first option however (outside DC) removes that from the equation entirely and your drifter still doesn't talk (even if they screw up).

1. John Doe's case happened in the early days of Pre-Crime.
2. Just because something is forbidden by law and just because there exists a quite foolproof way to battle the crime doesn't automatically mean there don't exist criminals who would still try it. The main point is: why would the (smug, complacent, dystopian) "authorities" put in the extra hassle (time, money) of investigating stuff when they already have pretty much the guarantee to prevent any serious crime automatically via the (relatively cheap) precog system?

What "alarm bells" are you speaking of? The only alarm bells that mattered to that dystopian justice system were the precog alerts when another prevision comes in. Did anyone at Pre-Crime listen to John Anderton when a brown wooden ball with his name was rolling? No, nobody did.

A straw man since the exact same problem applies if you hire the drifter to do it inside DC. Remember dingus, the pre-cogs don't see screw-ups they only see successful murders. If your drifter screws up... no-one sees it.
Which means that Burgess has a means to know in advance (long before the actual crime) if his method will be successful or not. As long as no John Doe prevision occurs, Burgess can choose to stay away from Anne Lively. The John Doe prevision is Burgess' cue to proceed with the plan or not.

And by screw-ups I don't just mean instances where the target isn't successfully killed. I also mean, for example, the drifter killing the target but leaving the body to be easily discovered by the police; or committing the crime in the presence of unexpected witnesses; or causing collateral damage, such as killing an innocent passer-by who happens to be the local politician's favorite nephew, etc.

And what the heck are you talking about "the exact same problem applies [...] inside DC"? Burgess' plan involved the drifter getting caught. That means the drifter is put in Containment and can't come back and blackmail Burgess endlessly.

And again, that applies to murders outside DC. Why would those arrested for murder in pre-crime DC receive different treatment to murderers outside DC?
No, any arrestees outside DC don't get the halo treatment. The halo treatment was specific to Pre-Crime and pre-visioned future murderers. Arrestees outside DC are suspects, they are not guilty until they're proven guilty in a trial. They get a chance to make their voice heard and deliver their version of the story, because the truth is still unknown and has to be uncovered/established in a court of law.

Arrestees inside DC are automatically silenced and placed in Containment, because the objective "truth" is seen in the pre-vision and their guilt is already "proven".

The pre-cogs would see Burgess killing Anne and he would be arrested BEFORE he even hires the drifter.
No, the Pre-Crime system doesn't work that way. Where in the movie is that ever alluded to?

Burgess might have a plan to hire a drifter to kill Anne Lively, but if Burgess cannot find any competent immoral drifter who's willing to accept Burgess' offer then there is no reason for any prevision to turn up because Burgess is not going to kill Lively if the fall-guy isn't already in place. Burgess is only going to kill Lively when three conditions have been met:
- a drifter proceeds with Burgess' plan,
- the drifter gets caught by Pre-Crime,
- the drifter doesn't manage to kill Lively before he gets caught by Pre-Crime.
[By the way, even when those conditions have been guaranteed, Burgess might still decide not to kill Lively.]

This means that the realization of the event in which Burgess kills Lively hinges on:
- the determination of the drifter (to accept and go through with what Burgess orders him), and
- the determination of the Pre-Crime cops (to respond to the pre-vision adequately and catch the drifter before he succeeds in killing Anne Lively).

And we saw in the movie that human determination can alter the pre-visioned future. (This is the concept that Anderton demonstrated with the hand catching the falling ball.)

This means that the threat from the drifter comes first, logically.

The second option is playing with fire because it's Agatha's mother and provides her with an incentive that could come back to bite him on the arse. The first option however (outside DC) removes that from the equation entirely and your drifter still doesn't talk (even if they screw up).
Criminals play with fire either way. Fact is, Burgess thought he had everything in control as long as he kept everything in his control. He thought that he was the one managing things, and also that he would be giving away control if he involved people from outside his jurisdiction.

Furthermore, outside DC there's no guarantee whatsoever that the drifter won't talk.

I saw nothing dystopian about this society. Only this one tiny corner of the world. Witwer's presence demonstrates that it's an abnormality within wider society. If people are getting the message then people still committing premeditated murder would set off alarm bells for which the likes of Witwer would be intrigued. Like I said, basic policing.

What "alarm bells" are you speaking of? The only alarm bells that mattered to that dystopian justice system were the precog alerts when another prevision comes in. Did anyone at Pre-Crime listen to John Anderton when a brown wooden ball with his name was rolling? No, nobody did.


You are again conflating DC pre-crime with worldwide attitudes. Witwer demonstrates that there is a great deal of suspicion about the programme outside of the city. The idea that Burgess' influence extends beyond that is ridiculous. Hence his preference for killing Anne within the radius despite the obvious flaws to this action.

Which means that Burgess has a means to know in advance (long before the actual crime) if his method will be successful or not. As long as no John Doe prevision occurs, Burgess can choose to stay away from Anne Lively. The John Doe prevision is Burgess' cue to proceed with the plan or not.


And this applies to the drifter killing Anne outside DC. Succeed and you're done. Fail and you try again without consequences.

And what the heck are you talking about "the exact same problem applies [...] inside DC"? Burgess' plan involved the drifter getting caught. That means the drifter is put in Containment and can't come back and blackmail Burgess endlessly.


How hard is it for the drifter to give ALL this information to a friend/relative before he commits the crime? You still have the exact same problem. Pretending that the brain scrambler magics that away is disingenuous. Outside of DC, the drifter has the added incentive of not being caught and without a recognisable motive, he has a good chance of doing exactly that.

No, the Pre-Crime system doesn't work that way. Where in the movie is that ever alluded to?


This is where the film fudges itself out of trouble. There is reference to a four day window and a 200 mile radius. If the drifter is hired way in advance of the four days then the drifter would have been arrested LONG BEFORE he got anywhere near Anne. You've known for four days that he's going to do it but wait until he's actually chasing her before arresting him? Nonsense. The film chases a thread of "crimes of passion" whilst exploring the concept of "premeditated murder." It wants its cake and eat it. Since the whole point of pre-crime is... it's never wrong, why wait until the drifter is chasing her through the woods before arresting him?

Like I said, the film only shows us "crimes of passion" whilst pretending to be about premeditation. It presents Anne Lively's murder as one of passion yet sells the concept as one of premeditation. It's crap. If the drifter's murder is truly premeditated then he gets arrested in a coffee shop four days before he does it.

Meanwhile, if the drifter is hired last minute (which is what the film suggests due to the late arrest) then Burgess hiring the drifter (with the intent and certainty of killing Anne himself) is also within the four day limit and as such, would be seen by the precogs (especially Anne) as the first instance of Anne's murder. Plus, you're hiring a drifter to commit a murder at the last minute. Does that suggest Burgess is thinking things through? Surely that brings even more risk.

And we saw in the movie that human determination can alter the pre-visioned future. (This is the concept that Anderton demonstrated with the hand catching the falling ball.)

This means that the threat from the drifter comes first, logically.


That scene was also a fudge. When Anderton tells Witwer that he caught it because it was gonna fall (therefore proving that Witwer knew it was going to fall even though it didn't) Witwer should have responded by pointing out that... it was only going to fall because... someone threw it.

Criminals play with fire either way. Fact is, Burgess thought he had everything in control as long as he kept everything in his control. He thought that he was the one managing things, and also that he would be giving away control if he involved people from outside his jurisdiction.

Furthermore, outside DC there's no guarantee whatsoever that the drifter won't talk.


Both are a risk BUT the outside option removes Agatha from the equation. Burgess clearly knows that she is a huge potential threat to him (or at least he should). For a man of such immense power, his chances of success outside DC are far better than his ridiculous, elaborate echo plan.

You're notion that a man as influential as Burgess couldn't get away with murder without such elaborate arsery is nonsensical.

reply

It's not a very good question at all. In fact, I think it's a stupid question.

And it's been asked before a number of times. See this thread:



Needlessly douchey from start from finish. What does it accomplish?

reply

Not to mention, the ensuing conversation which had good points on both sides, means that it was an excellent question.

reply

The main problem with doing the murder outside of DC is there wouldn't be a movie.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

reply

"How could precrime go national."
Well when Anderton goes to talk to Dr. Hineman she tells them that the trio were all children of neuron addicts.
Assuming that the drug has some sort of effect on the brain of developing fetus' when the mother takes it during pregnancy, they basically have a recipe to 'manufacture'as many precogs as they need wherever they need.

reply

Great question. It's been pretty funny watching people defend this to the death when it's clear the only answer is there wouldn't be a movie. They never addressed it during the film, so it's obvious that it was meant to simply be ignored.

Killing her outside of DC gave him all kinds of options without any precrime interference.

If Lamar had killed Anne Lively outside DC, then the same petty IMDb users would have come up with the complaint "Why didn't Lamar kill her inside DC, where he had control over the police force?"

Killing her inside of DC gave him all kinds of options without any outside federal interference.

By the way, it was clear from the movie that Agatha was capable of doing stuff that went beyond what the Pre-Crime cops believed she could do. So when Fletcher says that the precogs can only see murders within a 200 mile radius, it doesn't mean much. So your explanation "there wouldn't be a movie" doesn't hold true.

Yeah, you're really dumb. She literally agrees to meet in the woods such was her immense desperation to get her daughter back.

Well glad you agree. And your interpretation makes no sense anyway, why would Anne Lively agree to meet Agatha outside DC when they LIVED in DC?

Exactly, it's crazy. Imagine getting her to meet outside of DC where the precogs couldn't see her murder. That would be mad!! Definitely couldn't happen. No sirree. It defies credibility.

Which is lucky. Because otherwise the film couldn't happen.

No retardo, it’s not a plot hole. She obviously only agreed with Lamar to meet in a safe space, aka Washington DC.

You get how dumb you made yourself look, though, right? I mean... please tell me that you at least get that.

"Bye bye, I'm leaving. This is my thread." Etc.

Surely some part of you acknowledges your immense mid-wittery here.

No?

Then let us continue...

😁

reply

In case you’re illiterate, which you clearly are, you’ll notice I never said I’m leaving chump. I said you can leave my thread. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Your “gotcha” is a hilarious fail

reply

HA HA HA So much coping and seething.

You made an idiot of yourself then tripled down. Then quadrupled.

How are you not embarrassed by how badly you've been owned? How?

I demand answers...

reply

You cannot face the fact you dropped the ball on that attempted insult and only to have it thrown back in your face. You are now scrambling to avoid losing face. I laugh at your feeble-mindedness, dance for me more Jester!

reply

LOL, you made a fool of yourself and, for reasons passing understanding,have chosen to continue doing so. Which is fine by me. You are a cretin. And I am loving every minute of the inevitable narrowing of boxes into infinity. You magnificent dumb fuck 🤣🤣🤣

reply

Nice meltie. You are the current fool that pleases the court, dance and fling some more feces, monkey! 🐒 💩

reply

Ha ha ha ha, imagine being this thoroughly owned but trying to pretend, through the gushing of tears I would assume, that it's all just a dream. Ha ha ha ha ha

You poor little sausage.

You are forever my bitch. Until the end of time.

And remember, this movie has a massive plot hole.😁 It's HUGE!!! Big enough to fit your Tom Cruise fantasies inside 🤣🤣🤣

reply

Nice Meltie again, with more weird, latent homoeroticism from you. What compels you to bring up such gay thoughts? Closet case much?

reply

Why you so upset? What is it about this film's major plot hole that upsets you this much? It can't just be the thought of Tom Cruise running.

Does Tom Cruise running really have that much power?

Talk to me, kid. Let it all out.

reply

You’re the one obsessed with cruise rubbing in tight pants.

reply

When you first realised you were my bitch, was it upsetting or strangely liberating?

Also, what other movies with massive plot holes and gay running do you like?

reply

Thanks for the bump, bitch 😎

reply

On the upside , there are advantages to being my bitch, many wonderful benefits indeed.

But first and foremost, what is it about this massive plot hole that upsets you so much? You still haven't said (though we have our suspicions about Tom's running, don't we). But what is it exactly?

Keep dancing. Together we can solve this.

reply

Haha you’re such a cutey pie when you argue

reply

Let it all out. Express yourself. Tell me why the plot hole is so upsetting.

When did the Tom Cruise fantasies first begin? Why did you say bye bye then not actually leave? Why did you claim this was your thread? Talk to me buddy, let it all out. We can solve this. I believe in you. Sure, you're not very bright, but we can do this. I'm here for you.

reply

Answer me honestly now, kid, are you seriously ready to lose this flame war after months of back and forth with nothing to show for it?

reply

Poor lamb, let it all out. Give vent to those frustrations. It's not easy being a world class simpleton but you've turned it into an artform. I'm impressed.

Tell me more about how you're leaving this thread, flouncing off with a dramatic "bye bye." About how this is your thread that I'm bumping because you're a bona fide genius. Tell me more. I respect your intelligence immensely. I really do. I enjoy watching you dance and dance, like a retarded boy who refuses to let go of his favourite Lego.

But most of all tell me about the plot hole that ruined your life. To be fair, it was a big one.

reply

No dummy, you’re the one leaving this thread. You just haven’t realized it yet 🤣

reply

Why would I leave? I have a performing monkey that dances on command. And remember, this is your thread -- YOUR thread. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Now keep dancing for me while I watch Die Hard (another film with a plot hole). You love those.

And while you dance please wear something festive. Something that jingles. There's a good lad.

reply

We’re too busy laughing at you over at FILMBOARDS, incel

reply

And a merry Christmas to you. I'm curious, what first made you realise you were my bitch? Was it the claim that you were leaving (but never actually did) with a dramatic (some might say flouncing) "bye bye"? Or was it the claim that this was your thread (in an equally girlish and rather hysterical fashion)?

Now that you're here, dancing like a good monkey, talk to me about the massive plot hole in this film. I'm convinced that will resolve the issue. Just let it all out. No one is judging you.

reply

Every reply you just embarrass yourself further and become more cringe.

reply

U mad bro? All I did was point out that you said you were leaving like some kind of hysterical simpleton but then refused to leave, instead opting for the (entirely superior) choice of relentlessly dancing for me like the world's most retarded monkey-boy. I approve of your decision wholeheartedly. It was the right call. This was always your destiny.

I am merely here to provide you with a solid beat. Now dance!

reply

Thanks for the bump bro 😎

Ready to lose another flame war? 🤣

reply

Poor lamb, so desperate not to be embarrassed by such overt stupidity. I understand your pain. I am here for you. You didn't see the plot hole but that doesn't make you a monster. You claimed to be leaving the thread after I butthurt you with immense gusto but that was merely hubris. You claimed this was your thread (no doubt due to being so befuddled by the fact that I so savagely owned you). I understand your pain, I feel it. Let it all out. Speak to me Goose. Speak to me. No one is judging you for reaching your intellectual limit. No one.

I will always support the special needs community (even when they relentlessly make a clown of themselves). You are not to blame. It's not your fault.

reply

lol you mad bro? Poor baby 😭

Thanks for another bump btw 😎

reply

Another bump for your thread. Aww, bless your cotton socks. Have you put any more thought into why you declared you were leaving with the histrionic"bye-bye" but never actually left? It can't just be a simple matter of low intelligence. There must be something more to it. Are you willing to explore your feelings? No Judgement.

And this assertion that this is you thread. Is that related to your immense stupidity or is it something else? You appear to have doubled down and claim I'm bumping your thread despite the obvious demonstration of your blatant retardation. Why is this? What's it all about? Did father touch you in a bad place? Did your embarrassment at being exposed as a world class cretin trigger some kind of painful memory associated with childhood? What happened?

Together we can solve this. We can discover the root of your staggering idiocy. And best of all (though improbable) we might even penetrate your self awareness sufficiently for you to grasp that I own you. Every last delectable inch of you. You are my dancing queen!!

reply

I honestly feel bad, you’re writing this novel in each reply and I’m barely even reading it. You must not realize you’re wasting your time and energy in a flame war you can never possibly win. Kinda cute, but sad as well.

Btw, thanks for another bump 😎

reply

A new year, a new opportunity to recognise your low intelligence. 2025 is the year you can do it. We have faith in you. Now remember, being owned is not the embarrassing part (if only), being owned but being thoroughly ignorant that you've been owned... is. You claimed you were leaving the thread but remained and we laughed. You claimed this was your thread and we laughed. You claimed you weren't dancing for me like a special needs boy with a disturbing erection which, brought on by memories of your mother, has been twanging to and fro for many days now.

We cannot stop you from being owned. But we can stop you from being self-owned. Please reach out to a family member or friend. Speak to someone. This is getting embarrassing. Your tiny brain clearly isn't equipped to grasp its own stupidity. I implore you. You are going to burn the carpet with all that monkey dancing.
