      You were using straw man because you had no rational response to a discussion about health insurance.

      straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1]One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

        So would you consider walking on the side of a road gambling?

        This is the comment you characterized as ‘crossing the street.’

        Can we trust anything else you say if you confuse simple comments like this?

          I don’t care if you trust me. I never have. Others will trust the evidence and facts that they have seen so far.

          But I will continue to point out when you post misinformation because it’s the right thing to do.

              Just because you ignore the facts and evidence does not mean that they aren’t there. Everyone else but you can see them, apparently. And I really don’t care whether you believe me or not. I only care that others don’t believe you.

              And only you are convinced by your arguments. You, and a fictional cartoon named Ned.

                Do you think people are going to read 151 comments and think anything besides you are a little obsessive about this topic?

                My parents didn’t raise me, they did drugs and drank until they passed out and woke up and did it all over again.

                Ned from The Simpsons raised me in half hour increments that have shaped my entire life and given me a life long lust for the lord’s love and a respect for my fellow man and their opinion that apparently you do not.

                  1. wow, that’s sad
                  2. it’s irrelevant to this discussion
                  3. I don’t care
                  4. somebody has made it this far to upvote my comments….
                  5. if you hadn’t gambled your health and well-being foolishly by not getting health insurance, you could afford to work through these troubling issues with a trained psychotherapist rather than… this

                  And, again, you make a personal attack because you have no rational response.
