This is your point? A snide one-sentence comment completely failing to engage with any bit of the argument? Do better. Interrogate why this is your reaction to being challenged

Those three words sum up every response I have for each point.

I wish I could go thru life line you, smooth-brained, unthinking, uncaring, perfectly safe in the belief that I am a special little boy. Sadly I have been cursed with the bane of Thought, and so I must interrogate my beliefs when I encounter that which conflicts with them.
I guess that's what makes me not a lib

“You must be a critical thinker.” ~ someone who then moons his opponent with a pig’s butt in graphic detail

I asked a simple question not anticipating they would be taken as ungenuine, I apologize if those three words offended you.

Yeah because you totally deserve to be taken seriously, when your response is some snide little smuglord gotcha. You get what you give horsepoo-theory

Is it answerable though? Because “snide” was not what I was going for.
