    At best it only shows the moral philosophy of the plurality of people who bothered to vote, and your defeatism is tantamount to enabling their attitude.

    One guy had an idea of the relationship between property and (black) lives and got into a fight which ended in a death and was acquitted for murder.

    Do you think that because Casey Anthony was acquitted, America thinks killing kids is no biggie? What if a few people signal boosted her to rabble rouse their base?

    It’s a handful of morons who are now disproportionately at the helm. They don’t speak for you or me.

        Fair enough, didn’t realize you felt killing kids was okay. You got me there.

          Yes, that’s exactly what I said. You are definitely communicating in good faith and continuing to respond to you would be a good use of my time.

            Oh no, someone gave up on arguing with you in good faith when you’ve been glib this entire time!

            Everyone else but you has to play by the rules, eh?

              Using obvious sarcasm as a rhetorical technique is not in bad faith.

              Aggressively playing dumb to manufacture an excuse to attack the person doing so as if his argument were sincere, even though you yourself admit you knew he’d “been glib this entire time,” however, is in bad faith.

              This is your warning.

                Good point, you should nuke this entire thread and/or ban both of us for veering so far off-topic.

                  Nah, this isn’t some elementary school with a zero-tolerance policy where we punish the victim along with the aggressor.

                    Ah gotcha, you’re like cops: you ignore rules except when you can stretch them to punish someone you disagree with.
