Yeah, that doesn't ever work for me. I feel as sorry for them as I do some teen murderer in Florida who just felt like it.

Because it’s a complete straw man that’s not going to show up at all?
VisionGuard t1_j6zj8cy wrote
Well yeah, this one is too politically hot for those folks to say that. But they'd definitely say it if it weren't.

If things were different, things would be different, correct.

Yeah, the constant being that they're always politically expedient. It's not some "strawman".
PiffityPoffity t1_j73w2gj wrote
Yes, if things were different people would respond differently. Very astute.
VisionGuard t1_j74izyq wrote
Right, so it's not remotely a "strawman" but, like, something they're solely not doing because they're worried about social pressure.
At least in your asinine way, you're implicitly agreeing with that, which is great.

No matter how many ways you restate it, you’re still just saying that people react differently to different circumstances, which is both completely obvious and not at all insightful.
VisionGuard t1_j775i6j wrote
Sure it is. It's impeaching your silly suggestion that these people don't actually believe what they do. They do - they're just worried it's not politically expedient to say it.

Mind-reading is a hell of a gift.

So is consistently being obtuse, like you appear to be.

Nonsense in, nonsense out.

Glad you've characterized your own commentary.

“I know you are but what am I?” Real mature.
VisionGuard t1_j7cc6nt wrote
There's a certain irony in you lobbing ad homs about maturity.
PiffityPoffity t1_j7ciqp9 wrote
That’s not irony.
VisionGuard t1_j7cngos wrote
Now it's amusing that you think it's not.
