Well, when invalid "points" are made, don't be surprised that nobody grants you your point. Just sayin'.

That's make sense Clara, but that's not what's happening.  Here's a typical exchange:

Me: "The weather is really nice today but a bit too windy for me."

Them: "The rich steal the wind from the poor!"

Me: "Wait a minute, exactly how does that happen?"

Them: "The homophobic/racist 1% 'ers steal everything from the 99%"

Me: "How exactly, give me some examples?"

Them: "George W. Bush lied his way into war!"

Me: "We're talking about the wind, not the Iraq war.  How do the wealthy steal the wind?"

Them: "Halliburton and big oil and the Koch brothers are racists!"

Me. "Can we stay on topic?"

Them: "All Republicans are beholden to Grover Norquist!"

Me: "Wind?"

Them: "Al Gore is the real winner and if he had been elected icebergs wouldn't have been stolen by Dick Cheney and Scott Walker."

Me: Sigh

Talkingpointslexia. Ya, I'm familiar with running into that. Mainly in the Chick Fil A thread and elsewhere where cons claim that a business permit is a First Amendment issue.
