You've yet to deny or provide an alternative about such a stance.
You're starting to sound like Glen Beck. "I asked if he's a communist, and he hasn't PROVED he's not, so he must be!" You tried to make me sound like a mystic with nebulous pejoratives (God works in mysterious wayzz teee hee). That's not even relevant. You're upset that I supposedly used an ad-hominiem, yet not only did you use one, you're asking me to rebut it as if my answer to your insult had any bearing on the discussion.

Grow up.

No. Privilege has no bearing on this discussion. It should make no difference if I was born in the ghetto with a crack pipe in my mom's hand or if I was born into a European monarchy. Debate is about the merit of ideas not their origin.

Why can you not grasp that?

Thread would have been better if it was about scrap booking.

I only care about the answer that you still have yet to provide. The rest of your post is worthless rhetoric.

It absolutely does in a society as big and fractured as this one. If you want to pretend that everyone is equal and has the same shot at life not only are you deluding yourself, you're also part of the problem.

I was expecting to open the thread and see an awesome quilt or something that OP made from stuff he got at hobby lobby. Total letdown, 0/5 stars.

You've invented an argument in your head that has nothing to do with the subject of the thread that you started and you're mad that he won't answer?

What answer is that? That I believe in free will and that most problems are from humans being doofuses? There. You have it.

We are debating the merits of government policy. Certainly, people come for disparate backgrounds and that bears consideration into what the policy should be. However, an idea itself should NEVER be evaluated on who gave it. This is what you are doing. It's like saying we should disown calculus because Newton was privileged.

It's my thread. According to today's supreme court decision I can do whatever the fuck I want.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There still plenty of things to try. Now grab a squeegee from the gas station, throw it in a bucket, add a some dish soap, bit of water. Baby, you've got a business going.
