This isn’t a point. Like think back on what you just said - it’s literally “well if you’re very close to someone a knife is pretty deadly”
Yeah well I guess that’s why guns are deadlier because you don’t have to be close and can stab lots of people with your high velocity mini-knives.
Every time some tactical pedant will come out of their bunker to educate us on how ackshuyally navy seals prefer knives to guns because they like the smell of blood and every time it’s worthless
I think you think I’m someone else. Maybe calm down and just take a comment for a comment
I think you made a nonsense false equivalency about guns and knives and then go hurt when it was called nonsense
I’m sorry you are upset. It was not my intention.
I’m not upset, you’re just wrong and persistent. If people do get upset at your bad faith arguments, that’s ok in my book. Guns are a plague and a moral wrong in society and apologists have no place. It’s ok to be mad at people arguing for bad things!
I’m not saying guns are good. They should all be melted.
Literally nothing you have said other than this conveys that. You’re sending the very opposite message, and that’s on you, not us.
You’re welcome to read what you want to hear, you won’t believe anything I say anyway. You’ve made up your mind.
I’ve made up my mind based on what you said. Don’t pin this on anyone but yourself. Read the room - you’re not misunderstood. You’re understood perfectly. This type of slippery, gaslighting bullshittery doesn’t work anymore my guy.
Tell me what you think I think if you’re so sure you’re right, and then I’ll let you know if that’s what I think or if it’s what you’ve created. Then we can see who is gaslighting whom.
I don’t need to tell you when I can read your words.
You’re acting like you weren’t all over this thread saying dumb shit like “I can shoot you 35 times in the foot” and “knives can be deadlier than guns” honestly shameful that you’re pretending like you’re aggrieved here
I think you’re missing the context of these messages because you’re only focusing on my comment.
I’m not feeling aggrieved. You think I feel that way. I just think it’s hilarious that you’re overthinking this.
Good god, man. You must be insufferable in person 🤣
Only online.
There are 2 types of apologies. One where the person takes responsibility and apologizes for the offending action and one where the person takes no responsibility and instead apologizes for how people reacted to the offending action.
The latter puts the onus on the victim, making it less of an apology and more of an additional offending action.
Something to consider.
There is no victim. It’s a topic that we both disagree on.
Something to consider.
