Political Discussions for "Adults"

Im sorry, are you saying I do have illusions about being born with privilege others will never have? White men born in America have more opportunity than any other group of people on the planet.

You lost me at the "except for", that's some dirty dookie.. you can't even explain everyone who comes from worse situations and is better off than you with that position. Get real. How did they end up there with no resources or support systems? *yawn*

And your edit just now goes to show u dont even understand my argument when i go all pro bootstrap on ur texas behind. Ive never once argued black people forced in to the ghetto are at fault for the life they probably will end up living.. the bootstrapping i argue for comes in the form of people like you bangin chicks without a condom and then expecting handouts instead of taking responsibility. Big difference. There is an extent to which you can do more than just accept your environment sucks and make excuses about it (which varies on an individual level), but I know you like to ignore that truth because it doesnt fit any narrative you want to argue for.

You don't need an omnipotent tower to know mcdonalds makes u fat and cigarettes are bad homie.. hyperbole much?

You're both picking just the most boring strawman of each other's arguments to argue against, can't you at least try to make it a little exciting for the rest of us?

Baiting is supposed to be against the rules.

What is it that im strawmanning? I directly addressed his point and explained the difference in my usage of the terminology from how its typically viewed. Pretty sure elph and I both agree on most of the things.

It's not against the rules to bait people into talking to me when im bored. I use elph the same way he uses you for your childish outbursts, except his reaction isnt harmful to the forum.
