I could be reading more into it that in there

yeah, you just told me a bunch of your insecurities.

I just had this drink once and thought it was a goofy name, but, WOW… you ran with that….

yeah, you’re definitely lost.

You made the argument, the burden of proof is on you

what argument? you seem lost. and mad.

People have been incredibly patient

oh, how nice of ‘everyone” to dedicate hours upon hours trolling me. I feel special to have kept them from trolling anyone else.

thanks for saying out loud how much control I have over you. all of you.

sad story bro

it’s sad that you have to keep telling yourself that, despite zero facts to support it.

You said someone used a strawman argument when they said you didn’t pay attention to what they told you.

congratulations on learning to read, but that doesn’t explain anything.

Speaking of tantrums. Speaking of looking like a fool.

yeah… that still doesn’t explain why you did those things….

oh, look, another troll from hexbear misquoting me. guess that’s all you know how to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

someone should teach you kids how to read

Who said I was arguing with you, dipshit?

you replied to my comment. are you lost? lol

and your childish tantrums and name-calling don’t impress me, nor does your bullying. all it tells me is that you’re so afraid of losing an argument to a stranger on the internet, it drives you into a blind rage.

that’s how much control you give to strangers because you have no control over yourself.

you misrepresented what I said to make the argument easier to defeat.

when your unimaginative rhetorical tricks fail, you hurl insults.

You’ve moved the goalposts, but no matter.

“I know you are but what am I?” is not a convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5. (borrowed form another comment)

Operation Enduring Freedom was sold as a war on terrorism

see, you even admit that it wasn’t about opium.

the US repeatedly cited opium as a target of the war because they claimed it funded the Taliban.

you’re welcome to cite sources to back up your claims. and I’ll be happy to point out how the timeline doesn’t support your assertions that the war was about opium, it just happened to be something the US did while we were there.

Or did you think it was retaliation for 9/11 or something?

what I think is irrelevant. that facts are what matter.

I have American friends who died defending those poppy fields. I remember it all very well.

irrelevant. present facts. not anecdotes or your feelings.

Also do feel free to explain how this is any way relevant to the conversation:

correlation ≠ causation

I have, repeatedly. your inability/refusal to understand is not my problem.

what’s the difference between a British and and American shorthair? Do the British ones drink tea instead of milk? Sleep on the left side of the couch? Meow with a superfluous “u” or an extra syllable? Do they have some strange slang term for catnip that is hilarious, offensive, or somehow both at the same time?
