Because they were responding to a person as if they had said it. You can't have a discussion where you just make up what the other person said and respond to that. And in fact you've done exactly the same. You've assigned a position to me that I haven't stated at all. It'd be like me ending this comment with: Why would you make such a inflammatory anti-muslim joke on Eid Al Fitr of all days?
- llanowarelves 5y agoThe bug comment is not saying anyone said it. It's to demonstrate limits. On a discussion about general religions, or future relevant policies, a comment like this would be normal, "I can respect Islam but I'm not going to stop eating pork". And then I guess you would say "who said you have to stop eating pork?".
- smcl 5y agoWe can only guess the intent. You think it's a clever debate strategy, I think the person just wanted to provoke an argument.
- llanowarelves 5y agoMaybe. I have seen the bugs thing mentioned a lot before along with "pods" (increasingly small city apartments / tiny houses) meme. Both are critiques of the handling of current challenges (food and housing). To come full circle, "I support affordable housing, but I don't want to live in a pod" ;)
