It is hard to have a serious and honest discussion with you because you are constantly changing the context of the discussion: from general, to specific, and finally to misconstrued when something does not go according to plan. Also, little to no evidence is ever offered, and sound basis is rarely laid for your opinions. Rather, the discussion ends up being more-or-less composed of personal opinions and rants. I suppose this is fine, but even in an opinion-based argument, the burden of proof eventually falls on you. You can't constantly shift that burden back to the other person. That's just unfair.
How about you learn not to just reply to one liners? That would really go a long way into helping your replies stay on subject. If you don't understand how to carry a real arguement other then replying to one liners out of context, then I can't help you.

I clearly put into my last post evidence of you quoting a one liner out of context. Honestly I don't know how this thread is going in this direction, and why I'm letting it go there. But if you want to question the validity of my arguements, question the whole point, not just one line that you feel its convienient to reply to.

So with that I'll leave you with another example of you quoting out of context, and if you want to continue with this side discussion I'll put an example in each until you understand why I don't care for your one liner pointless replies. Lets go back to the begining of the thread.

Post #3 in this thread I said:

"One thing to keep in mind is that healthcare is something that people need. Once again, lets throw in the example of education.. Private schools still exist, and public schools still exist. Just because a public school insures that everybody gets a chance, doesn't mean there won't be a place for private schools. Could you imagine if a country allowed their education system to be completly privately run? High costs for schools at all levels, and if you don't have the money you're just out of luck and have to be put into a world of debt?

Would you really be shocked if their system yielded bad results?"

Now if you take that all as one point, and not two seperate points, its logical. But how did you reply? See post #4 in this thread.

"Not entirely sure who the pronoun "their" refers to. If you are referring to the public option, then no, I would not be shocked if it yielded bad results."-Bond

Wait, that doesn't make any sense as a reply... does it? Oh wait, that's because you only quoted the question in the second line and ignored the whole point that it was linked to!

I have many more examples of you doing this over the course of the whole thread. If you chose to continue to argue that your replies are in-context.
