While I agree that everyone who can should get the shot and that lots of people say they had the flu when they didn’t, this isn’t necessarily accurate either.

Honestly? I think they see it as proof that they’re right about “those people.” If you understand nothing about sociology and willfully ignore history, and are therefore able to look at things without ever considering context, I guess it makes sense.

“64 percent of eligible women voted, but only 45 percent of those women were ages 18 to 24.”

The impulse, sure, but it’s pretty well established that one side tends to end up looking for/finding facts a lot more often than the other.

Your “life as a human?” Good lord. If you decide to ~express~ your precious interpretations at other people as objective truth about their experiences, they’re going to talk back at you.

It’s almost like I didn’t claim you’re responsible for my reactions, mandate that you to change the way you express yourself, or call myself “important to you” in the first place.

Thank you. It’s such an arrogant notion, this idea that something isn’t actually [fill in the blank thing] unless you, an individual, are satisfied with it.

Thank you. It’s like the fashion equivalent of people who claim Hillary Clinton is a Republican in modern America because they wish “Democrat” meant something more liberal than it currently does.

Dude, how creepy is this “I’m here to tell you [in very strange, clinical language] what you think and how to interpret things because I’m sure you need to hear it from Rational Man” act?

I didn’t ask you to tailor yourself to my emotions--I think you’re confused about who responded to you. I do find it funny that you’re so certain YOUR interpretations are correct, and so full of pseudo-psychological babble about why someone else’s aren’t, though. It’s telling that people interpreting strangers’…

Speaking of condescending--your obsessive repetition of this argument!

This isn’t American Cosmo, though--manual is still the default (or at least far more common) in many other parts of the world. A car designed for anybody in lots of countries would be a manual, and that’s why this one is.

Stop-and-frisk was awful and absolutely fueled by unfounded fear, but otherwise this is a bad equivalence.
