Oh for fuck’s sake. If you can’t bother to avoid ludicrous hyperbole, don’t even bother. Jesus.

I’m mostly frustrated with the insane hyperbole that you’ve engaged in.

If that family has children, Rogue, what do you think should be done? Is it okay for them to go without food because their father or mother is on strike?

Do you view them as the children who are victims of failed personal responsibility, and not your problem?

So how do you go about making sure those children don’t go without food, Rogue?

I interpreted it exactly as you asked: a hyperbolic position that nobody would hold.

Do you think there is anyone, at all, barring those under the age of eight, who believes that “everybody should get whatever they ask for?”

So you really are saying that someone who quit Massey should be unable to get food stamps?

Are you proposing that everybody get whatever they ask for, sight unseen?
Is hyperbolic. or you seriously think i’m proposing that everyone gets ‘whatever they ask for’, which is simply insulting my intelligence.

I would simply like to know if you see any boundaries at all for geting public assistance, or whether the concept of personal responsibility and consequences exist in your thinking.

What the fuck, dude? Deny that you’re being hyperbolic, and then say that I don’t even believe in personal responsibility?

Do you understand that you just did that?

You refuse to answer questions until cornered, then you lash out, and for good measure, add some vitriol and make the other person out to be somehow attacking you.
