"The account of a victim is always evidence."

No, it's not. Because the victim may have been mistaken. A testimony is a piece of evidence, but it has to be backed by other pieces of evidence.

Hahahaha, we are having a little fun here, innit? Whilst still waiting for Dave to supply us with some evidence, we are being entertained by images of bus drivers barreling along the highway, at the wheels of a tourist bus, fully kitted out in gas mask and nightvision goggles...

Now Dave, as to my evidence, why isn't my evidence as valid as yours? I have been consistent (and I am a regular poster on TT so you must believe me - what kind of childish logic is that?) with the story, I have my mate Charlie (or was it Howard?) to back me up, so what is there not to believe. If you don't believe me then why would anyone believe your little anecdote?

So Daveboy, back to that pesky evidence, you got any yet or we gonna dance the dance some more?

QUOTE" Because the victim may have been mistaken. A testimony is a piece of evidence, but it has to be backed by other pieces of evidence. "

In this case it would have to be the police that were mistaken it was they who told him about all the other passengers who were robbed and it was likely that fumes were used. The Bangkok Post reports Touris137 cited are the other piece of evidence.

QUOTE - "Now Dave, as to my evidence, why isn't my evidence as valid as yours? I have been consistent (and I am a regular poster on TT so you must believe me "

No you haven't , first of all you used Jacks Royal Society quote , then you switched to 3rd grade level debating tactics saying that if you can invent a story then I must have done too.

This the sum total of Goo's case -
QUOTE FROM THE OTHER THREAD - "yes, that's correct mate, why would I have knowledge of something that has never been done? Bit like me knowing how to drive a buggy on the moon, it is superfluous to anyone's knowledge because we have never actually been to the moon.. "

He doesn't need to have specialist chemical , bus ,etc knowledge because nobody had driven dune buggies on the moon.
I Rest My Case.


JJACK never answered the question about him saying 2 different things about drugging on this thread and the other one.

Dave, I never used anyone's quote. Simple really, just takes a little reading ability on your behalf.

And we are still waiting for your absent evidence...can we have some (any) evidence that tourists have been gassed on buses?

While we are about it, why don't you believe me about meeting the chap who started the urban myth? I have told the story consistently and I am a regular poster on TT so you must believe me. That is exactly the same logic you are using with your fantasy story.

So, pony up the evidence mate, we are waiting...

179 and counting...........I reckon 180 is a nice round number. Dave let's see some evidence and then you're the winner. Goo, you show some evidence by professionals that gassing is impossible. Failure by both parties to provide equals a draw and an end to the thread.

Nah, the onus is on Daveboy to prove it actually happens, we are still waiting...it would seem in vain.

Dave could now snatch a dramatic victory. You've now lost your chance Goo. Dave, it's your serve for the match. Will you produce it when it's required?

I've provided a quote from a highly qualified professional multiple times stating that it is impossible.

don't see why we can't take it to 200

You can if you want, but then that is only for a small number of people who care. Why not try and settle it now? The balls surely now in Dave's court to provide his evidence for a cyber victory. Woo-Hoo!

*The Catw logic is that if its on the web it must be true. *
Its interesting you are using that rebuttal as you are saying that we are supposed to believe your story " because its on the net"
sounds like a dollar each way and I know where my money would be .

You didn't tell the story consistently , you only just started it recently and you admiitted it was sarcasm - I would add that about the level of a 7 year old childs sarcasm. And there is no myth for anyone to start.

KEIRSEK - I gave anecodotal evidence backed by Tourist137 's newspaper evidence. Since I can't prove it absolutely and Goo damits he has no knowledege there is no need for thread to continue as there is enough said on both sides.

^where is the evidence? I have given anecdotal evidence, backed by my friend Charlie, why isn't that as equal to your nonexistent evidence?

Also, if we have some newspaper evidence, can we see it? If you cannot produce it then I am afraid, in all arenas, this is not admissible.

Dave, we are still waiting for the evidence, any evidence, that this happened (just once). Can you supply the evidence. I would remind you that I am fair in my acceptance of evidence and the standards thereof, you on the other hand wouldn't accept a translated law as evidence on another thread 'because anyone could post anything on the internet', I am more reasonable, can you post any evidence? Please...
