    I know exactly what they meant. What I don’t know is how it’s related to what I said.

    We can have a conversation about how our prison systems treat prisoners. Which we’ll likely agree on

    Or we can have a conversation about police abuse of power, which we’ll probably also agree on.

    Or we can have a conversation about our broken criminal justice system, which seems boring because again, we’d probably just agree.

    Or we can have a conversation about whether pregnant mothers, in general, should be allowed to be imprisoned for attempting to kill their unborn children, but it seems like people just want to derail the conversation with irrelevant arguments.

    But you go on with ya bad self, Mr. Straw Man.

      No, your “red thread” was that it was just to take the baby away with cps(?) because she either did or does narcotics. And somehow you feel it is derailing to even take any question outside the narrow scope of it.

      It is what people are discussing, it is a health issue. Both addiction and abortion are.

        I don’t know what a “red thread” is.

        Yes that’s correct, good job.

        And somehow you feel it is derailing to even take any question outside the narrow scope of it.

        Except it’s not “outside the narrow scope”, it’s got nothing to do with my statement. And you know that you can’t argue with my statement so the only way you can “win” is to argue about something else entirely.

        It is what people are discussing

        It is not what I was discussing, nor was it what the person I replied to was discussing.

          Not interested in winning, is this projection? If so, change the mindset. Why are you so belittling? Read of the appeal to ridicule.

          And if you’re not interested, not answering only means one part simply cba
