No — you were wrong on where burden of proof lies. That’s really it. |
Are you equally ugly to people who go on the same beach vacation each year? I started going to WDW the year it opened. At only 90 minutes away, we went there for Girl Scout trips, school trips, Gradnight. We went to their water park, River County, which was groundbreaking at the time. We as teens frequently camped at Fort Wilderness, a truly terrific campground. It was a favorite place to go to from college at UF. Then we all got married and took our families there. We could go as much as we wanted to $69 during the 3 Season salute pass. Some of us, like me, even worked there. And bought DVC, making it easy to get a nice 2 bedroom place at the Grand Floridian for cheap. Our kids bring their kids now. I have a grueling job now and enjoy the escape of Disney. I have done Europe, Scandinavia, etc. But they are different kinds of trips. Don't feel sorry for me. I can't imagine how bad off you have to be to think of Disney as some sort of hellscape. |
We’re not asking Jeff to confirm that you are an attorney. We are asking him to confirm that my +1 wasn’t sock puppeting. There’s more than one of us that thinks you’re an idiot. |
No, I am not. There is no burden of proof in an online discussion of whether Disney sucks. That’s what you don’t seem to understand. |
When you make a claim - in conversation, on DCUM, in life in general - the burden of proof is absolutely on you. |
No. You described how it would work if it was a case and incorrectly stated that I have a burden of proof. I don’t. I’m the defense. |
I knew this thread would be a shit show the moment I read the title. Sure enough, skip to the end and the lawyers are bickering. Never change, DCUM. |
This is where you did it, in case you need a reminder:
“ This isn’t a court of law, it’s the Internet. But if it was—and disliking Disney was a tort— When I have been involved in cases before actual courts of law, both sides present their best case. If you don’t have one, it is common to obfuscate. I said that the time I went to Disney, there was a fight. I can produce at least 5 witnesses. I have no wish to go back. You are the defense. You made the claim that fights occur everywhere all the time and Disney is just fine, no different than everywhere else. I should wish to go back! As such, your argument is a rebuttal. You then have to establish evidence this is within the range of normal life. As such, YOU need to provide the data that WDW is safer than the venue compared. I claim KSC is safer/has fewer fights. Prove me wrong.” |
Nope. It’s one lawyer and two of us who are endlessly amused that the lawyer doesn’t understand basic evidentiary procedure. |
You described it and I was making fun of you (both). You do have a burden of proof. In an actual case, if the plaintiff establishes a possibly criminal event occurred, then you have the burden as defense to establish your reasons why the thing the plaintiff established doesn’t count. Burden-shifting is very common. Happens all the time. Imagine a case in which a person shoots another person. Murder automatically? No. The prosecutor can establish the person was shot by the defendant. But that is not enough. The burden then shifts to the defense to prove it was justified. It is an “affirmative defense” that yes, the defendant shot the victim, but there was an exculpatory reason, such as insanity or self-defense. |
Lol. Good luck with your Law & Order degree. |
Prosecution has to initially clear a minimum burden of proof, though, and you clearly haven’t. |
I can procure 5 witnesses to my negative experience. I could easily prove that to me, Disney sucks. I would never, though, because I am too smart to litigate my experience. I just won’t go back. Problem solved. |
BTW, it’s also pretty fun to share my actual, truthful experience with Disney here. It always leads to Disney Adults losing their minds. DH and I had a really good friend who married a woman whose favorite thing is the M&M store. I just…can’t. |
Your counsel, that wasn’t the assertion. The assertion was that fights at Disney happen regularly and, in fact, happen more frequently than at other places. |
