These were back 2 back games.. to add to the shame

http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=1143237496

(See move 48. G6 .. around move 45 I offered a draw, he had about 8 seconds on his clock and I had about 4.5 seconds on my clock.. this sequence of reptition started when he had about 11 seconds, and I had about 7 seconds.. and I was fully prepared for this kind of play.. just didn't have the the time to win.. because it was planned..)

(On move 24. Qg2 I ask "Why don't you just resign?", but it was a rhertorical question knowing just like many times in this circumstance with players on the board that I've beaten by this margin, they would still try to win on time... and I have lost a few of those on time)

If you don't want time to matter as much, play correspondence chess or standard (30+ minutes) chess. Or better, find a friend to play without time limit.

After move 43 you should have clicked "offer draw". As there was a threefold repetition the game would have been drawn.

Seriously, who forces you to play bullet?

Who forces people to play with no respect and dignity for the game or for genuine competition?? the only way to solve it is with statistics to show how cowardly the behavior is

You mean you actually stopped to type "Why don't you just resign?" before you had actually checkmated the opponent? In a 1-minute game?

You will find no one here will have sympathy for you if you do this.  It's stupid.  You look like a showboat if you then win the game, and you look like a dunce if you go on to lose.

As I suggested in your other thread, 1-minute is not for you.  You are clearly a beginning player and it's a terrible form of the game to learn on.

You clearly don't get the point of 1-minute game. Having 20 second disadvantage could very well be translated as having a worse position - perhaps a queen down.

Who forces people to stupidly post their bullet games and complain like a child?

Anyway if u r new, the general idea is that unless you are playing 10 min game or longer, dont expect your opponent to not go for the time advantage(even in losing positons).

I can appreciate your frustration, pullin. Losing on time is really dissatisfying! Unfortunately time is a part of the game. If you're finding 1|0 to be frustrating because of this, you might want to try out the 2|1 time control. It's still a popular time control so you should be able to get matched up quickly, and the increment will help avoid losing games outright due to time trouble. You can also create a custom time control with an increment!

As to the first game, we're working on implementing a change that will put us more in line with FIDE's current stance on repetition. Now, you'll still have to claim a draw after a threefold repetition, but if the position repeats itself 5 times then the game will be automatically adjuticated a draw. We're doing the same thing with the 50 move rule (50 moves without a pawn move or capture must be claimed, but 75 moves will be automatic).

I blame chess.com for all my weaknesses and failures.  It beats blaming myself.

Losing because of time at some timed game and claiming "I still deserve victory"

Also, begging for the other guy to resign

Go and finish your homework

How about, OP, you stop whining about losing BULLET games and play a longer time control. Jeez, you make some really immature threads mate. Instead of getting all this criticism, actually read and take our advice.
