"I will ask you again where did I do what you say in above statement...where did I make others the butt of jokes?

And never mind trying to confuse things with a lot of words..if you ask me a question I will try and answer it...if I cant answer it I will say so...


All questions are not equal, especially when some are peppered with sarcasm, allegation, sweeping incriminations and vague innuendo.

If you require specificity, it becomes incumbent upon you to initiate your discourse with exactitude and clear purpose. Especially when you were apparently objecting to my comments on bigoted humor. I could not care less if you do or not, that is up to you.

"Here is what you said...."...." I can see how it serves (if) your purposes to make others the butt of a joke. It helps to marginalize or dehumanize them so that when you see the 'Nuke em all' comment you can go along with it without feeling as though you have done anything that violates human principles of decency.".....

My statement might be clearer to you if I were to insert the word 'if' as above. Since the joke was not posted by you, even though you seemed to be objecting to my comments related to it, then the 'if' word applies. The context of 'if' was assumed by me given the position you appeared to be taking. (If) you are arguing with me because you find yourself holding an opposing view, which you appear(ed) to be doing. Although, I can no longer tell since your bike seems to peddle forward and backward from one post to another.

"...why don't you try this?"

I try never to let others tell me what the right way to answer their question is. That is usually an indication that the question may not have been authentic in the first place.
