Please stop saying "you have much bigger problems", this cliché is dangerous and unproductive.

Please stop saying "you have much bigger problems", this cliché is dangerous and unproductive.
- beart 7y agoI don't see why that's dangerous. it's just a rephrasing of "this assumes x holds true" and if it doesn't none of this matters.
- krick 7y agoI don't know what's the parent's problem, but "this assumes x holds true" is actually much more clear and straight-forward, which really helps to stay on track with the discussion. At the very least it allows the opponent to ask if there's something available w/o this assumption, which "you have bigger problems" barely does.
