I was responding to your comment with a rhetorical device. Your quote is entirely uninteresting because of course police will claim that increased drug use and increased $BAD_THING are linked, and please can they have more funding. There's no evidence behind your quote, and you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.

You mean the article we are commenting on shouldn't have brought it up in the first place. I agree! My point is that it did indeed bring it up. Nothing more. You are arguing with no one, and directing it at me.
- gaganyaan 3y agoIt's a common way of rephrasing what someone said to point out the absurdity in their statement. I mean that you in particular shouldn't have brought it up. You should apply your reasoning, and not argue using bad arguments. If the article has a bad argument, don't repeat it.
- thomastjeffery 3y agoI provided it as context. For fucks sake, this is the article we are writing comments for! God forbid I talk about the OP! Did you read literally any other part of my comments?!?
