    Because we are discussing health insurance and the definition of gambling. You keep trying to change the subject to various other subjects, such as:

    • “being an American male”
    • unemployment insurance
    • your wages
    • crossing the street
    • my usage of quotation marks

    and including religion, which is a straw man

    straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1]One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

    That amnesia is really hitting you hard!

      In the last 140 comments we’ve wandered through many topics, including what colour socks you are wearing.

      It’s no longer a straw man.

        No, you keep trying to change the subject, and I keep calling it out while staying on the subject of health insurance and the meaning of the word “gambling.” Again, blaming me for your words and actions.

        You’re free to your “beliefs”, but the facts and evidence contradict you.

          Besides I was talking about walking on the side of a street but never crossing it.

            You were using straw man because you had no rational response to a discussion about health insurance.

              So would you consider walking on the side of a road gambling?

              This is the comment you characterized as ‘crossing the street.’

              Can we trust anything else you say if you confuse simple comments like this?

                I don’t care if you trust me. I never have. Others will trust the evidence and facts that they have seen so far.

                But I will continue to point out when you post misinformation because it’s the right thing to do.

                  But it’s lacking evidence and facts, besides my very convincing arguments.

                    Just because you ignore the facts and evidence does not mean that they aren’t there. Everyone else but you can see them, apparently. And I really don’t care whether you believe me or not. I only care that others don’t believe you.

                    And only you are convinced by your arguments. You, and a fictional cartoon named Ned.
