I think you meant to reply to someone else. None of this seems to have anything to do with what my point.

Are we back to "it's your fault you put yourself into position to need a comeback" territory yet? I figured we were still in our post-Packers-Seahawks "officials shouldn't decide the outcome of a game" mode.

As a supporter of [person A], it's so BLATANTLY OBVIOUS to me that you're 100% in the tank for [person B], Matt.

I hate you.

Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! That's what being a scientist is all about.

I know you were, and I wasn't calling you naive, I was saying that his metaphor is naive. Which is to say, I disagree with you.

"Everyone makes mistakes," does not mean that, "everyone is an equally shitty choice to head up the Executive branch." To think so is arguably more naive than to believe every campaign promise a candidate makes.

Who taught that joker to shoot? Right hand and left eye? Tsk tsk.

Bingo.

You're totally right! I mean, if Gore had been elected, we'd definitely still have invaded Iraq. And if McCain had been elected, you KNOW he would have pushed relentlessly for, and then passed the Affordable Care Act.

For what it's worth, my 2006 subie had this same issue (or a similar one) and flashing the ecu did nothing to fix it.

In a word?

Well, right, that's kind of what I was driving at. You just said it more eloquently, more pointedly, and less sarcastically.

No, you're wrong!

Absolutely. That's another of the more grating things for me about some pro-life/anti-choice folks, particularly the most religiously fundamental. They argue that even if a child is born in to disease, poverty, and a life without family, it's simply God's plan. God wanted that child to be born and suffer through…

On the surface it certainly seems like a sound analogy to me. Your body is beholden to no one but you, and we recognize that even if that means someone else ends up on the short end, you still can't be forced to sacrifice your health for someone else's. And what makes that argument even more pointed, for me at least,…
