People die, houses go through probate, it can take years.
Perhaps learn something about the subject you refuse to engage in.
More deflection.
Here's the subject you're refusing to engage in:
Is this going to be like the abandoned house thing again? Where it takes you 20hrs to answer whether they're occupied? That was such a dull thread.
It is deflection, and I've demonstrated to you why.
Now once again: why did you cherry pick the original article?
You know you came to me right? You can stop at any time.
Ok, my argument was that when we poors fight only the wealthy win. I understand it fine, do you? You don't seem to.
But anyways here was your comment which cherry picked the article:
That isn't the full sentence is it? You left off some relevant information didn't you? That's called cherry picking isn't it?
Oh look, I told you what I wanted you to do:
I'll ask you again: why are you resorting to cherry picking? I thought you wanted to jog on?
This was OPs point. You had to ram a load of boring leftist wank about billionaires without answering his fucking point
You are the one deflecting.
Fewer people, more houses. It's not that deep
We'll get there. But, to get to the op we have to go through my reply, and to get to my reply we have to go through your reply.
The reply that was pure cherry picking. So I'll ask again, why did you cherry pick the article?
You see, what you did was cherry pick a very small, and incidental part, of a much bigger argument... Which I called out as a Reverse Gish Gallop. Until you see that we're not going to have a particularly productive conversation, are we?
It is going to be like when you couldn't answer whether an abandoned house was unoccupied. How dull, I really hoped you wanted to jog on.
Oh gosh, it's you again. I had hoped you jogged on.
You see, what you did was cherry pick a very small, and incidental part, of a much bigger argument... Which I called out as a Reverse Gish Gallop. Until you see how ridiculous that was, we're not going to have a particularly productive conversation, are we?
Once again: Why did you decide to cherry pick?
