Yeah, like in a suburban neighborhood? Or a variety of urban spaces, based on context?
In your rush to accuse others of making bad faith arguments you're making just plain thoughtless ones.
- robertlagrant 4y agoThe context was rush hour Washington Boulevard. I'm not rushing to accuse anyone, and I'm not the one thoughtlessly ignoring the context.
- foldr 4y agoThe context was cycling on rush hour Washington Boulevard, which isn't absurd if it's the easiest route to your destination, any more than walking down a road is absurd if you don't have an alternative.
- robertlagrant 4y agoThe context (sigh) here is that I'm saying "like they're people" is not a good argument. Drivers are also people. It's not an argument. I don't know why the topic keeps drifting off this.
- foldr 4y agoBeing a person is a good prima facie argument for being allowed to access public infrastructure. There may be countervailing considerations, but you didn't provide any (other than by apparently suggesting that it was somehow absurd for people to walk on roads). But I'm not the author of the "like they're people" comment, so I'm not particularly interested in defending that particular line of argument.
- burnished 4y agoWhy do you think they were on that road?
