*straps on cleats*

Wait, I don't have to worry about sliding into the pyre!

We'll set up a firewall to prevent the sliding into the pyre thing!

...no, wait...sliding into the firewall would be worse than sliding into the pyre, wouldn't it?
Hmm...I'll rethink that...

99.99% of people choose to eat deadly tasteless cardboard, if your one of the 0.01% who don't...

I have to ask, are you joking?

I mean that quote is totally unrelated to the one you're comparing it to. That one is insulting, PR's was simple statement of fact. It didn't say that pot was bad, and certainly didn't imply that those who had used it were somehow worse for doings so. You imply that the 99.99% are deviod of such qualities as taste and the ability to to take care of their bodies.

So, when you implied the two were alike, were you joking?

-

I mean what it says is, "98% of teens have smoked pot, if you are one of the 2% that haven't, copy this into your signature."

Not, "98% of teens posion themselves for no reason, if you don't..."

Personally I've never smoked pot, nor do I have the desire to do so, I also don't have the desire to add it to my nonexistant sig or tell people about it for no reason (I consider this discussion a reason.) But the fact that I, like you, see no point in announcing the fact in a sig does not mean that I understand why you compare it to things that are nothing like it, unless you're joking.

To an exetent, but since the post was also a reply to PR (where she equated smoking cannabis to poisoning oneself) I really don't see your problem.

And McDonalds looks like cardboard, requires chemicals to prevent it tasting like cardboard, has been proven to quickly damage your health so actually I think my sentence was also a statement of fact.

If my statement implies the things you have decided it does the other one certainly implies the things you have decided it does not.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

My problem is that you equated what was being announed to "all and sundry in [a] signature" to what was only said to you and those interested in PR's response to you. If those two things are equal, which as far as I'm concerned they are not, then you have done exactly what you said you see no point in.
