Then maybe re-think your approach because again, your overall tone on the subject is judemental and harsh. And even though you toss in a few nuggets of compassion now and then they are getting completely overshadowed.

****, I misread your post. Sorry about that.

I intentionally leave emotion out, I'm trying to be as objective and rational as possible (believe it or not that's how you solve problems).

My approach has nothing to do with people joining mid conversation and missing points I've already covered, lol.

Of all the people who disagree with me you are the only one yet to actually say anything, Briks has already contributed more in two posts than you have in 10 pages, elph and I found some areas where we agreed, and DJ was nice to talk to (still waiting to hear back).. When are you going to actually make a post worth considering?

Gotta agree. We shouldn't worry too much about "lazy" people or people who make bad decisions. That leads to pointing fingers at a minority and ruins social security for everyone. Politicians fabricate stories to justify welfare cuts. Let's not support their narrative.

And now my point flies a mile over your head.

You type 100 words and 90% of them come across as crass. Yet the people joining in mid conversation are suppose to focus on the other 10%?????

You read 100 words and 90% of them are misunderstood, quoted, and misrepresented.

I guess personal experience doesn't count unless you were fortunate enough to pull yourself out of a gutter. Nice DWV. You ****ing rule as far as this discussion goes.

It's your own words. I didn't type them. I, and others, are just taking them at face value.

I gave multiple examples prior to that post on how I would be okay supporting people in those kinds of situations.. You just chose to overlook it because you were too busy being insulted by my honesty.

Edit: I'm going to stop responding to you now. If you have something you actually want to have a back and fourth discussion about I'll be happy to rejoin in the conversation. This has devolved quite rapidly into a childlike argument, and I'm not interested in entertaining you.

I meant you misunderstand them, quote them, and then strawmen them.

DWV takes his broad brush and runs home.
