"It makes sense for them" is not the same as "It makes sense to me". That is the entire point. You think you were saying "It makes sense to me" - but you weren't.

Yeah, I can see that - a whole shit-ton of information gushing forth without the analytic infrastructure being put in place before the onset. It's kind of weird to think about where it will all go, what form it will take, and what effect it will all have - especially when considering scenarios such as those depicted…
I never said it is wrong for anyone to say (or think) anything. I said that many people are offended by the attitude you take, in various contexts; that what you find appropriate for you is what you think others should find appropriate for themselves.
"What exactly is wrong with me thinking that what makes sense to me should make sense to other people?"
Advertising isn't the only reason that viewership is tracked. And as far as advertisers already having contracts with Nielsen (so why spend money on additional data?) - the progress of technology could easily make the Nielsen system obsolete, in that much more data can be tracked through cable boxes and DVR services…
I seriously cannot believe how incredibly fucking stupid you are.
OH MY FUCKING GOD. How is it you can keep dismissing the entire second part (the majority, by the way) of your original post when referencing what I said about what you said in the second part of your post? I am speaking of the attitude represented by the second paragraph in your original post, with the basis being…
Jesus Christ you are dense. I am pointing out your attitude that since something doesn't make sense for you, that what does make sense for you should make sense for other people as well because it makes sense for you. It has nothing to do with the specifics. Insert whatever specifics you like - it's the underlying…
Well, no - you haven't offended me. You are clearly too stupid to cause offense on my part. But as I have mentioned multiple times through parallel examples, the attitude you take is found offensive by many, in various contexts. I mean, you are, after all, posting on a sub-blog of jezebel - are you really so…
Ok, yes. Again, as I have stated multiple times, I am speaking of the attitude "I don't get / understand / like it, so other people shouldn't do it". Their belief (well, for some of them) is that gay marriage is morally wrong and sinful and perverted. Attitude and belief are two different things. They hold a certain be…
Anyway, it's not my fault that even the simplest concept of "me" vs. "them" - which can be mastered by any normal toddler - is so far beyond your grasp that you can't even see it when it is spelled out to you. As I have mentioned multiple times through parallel examples, the attitude you take is found offensive by…
No - you are asking readers if your preference makes sense for OTHER PEOPLE (the couple) who are not you. You started by saying something doesn't make sense for you - then went on to declare what you think does make sense for other people.
Your attitude - as I have pointed out to you countless times by now, using your own words - is not simply "I don't get it". It is, "I don't really get why proposals are still a thing. Doesn't it make sense for the two of THEM to just talk about whether they'd like to get married?" "THEM" refers to OTHER PEOPLE who are…
That's not exactly the case any more, as providers are now able to collect viewing data through cable boxes and DVR services - which doesn't require participation in the Nielsen system.
That's pretty rich coming from someone who doesn't even understand the difference between a proposal and a decision.
You are suffering from a terminal case of conflationer's disease; I said your attitude of "I don't get why other people would do X, doesn't it make sense for them to just do Y (which is what makes sense to me)" is the same attitude that anti - same-sex marriage base their arguments on. Because it is. It was the the…
Yes - you started off talking about you; the fact that you are too stupid to understand why other people still offer proposals for marriage, which is a long-standing, valued tradition in many cultures and societies. It's a pretty simple concept. That you don't buy into it has no effect on anyone else and their…
Again, holy shit.
Oh, no - I get it. I get it perfectly well. And I am not putting words in your mouth. This is what you wrote:
