I'm having real issues in this thread. I've agreed with shuny AND carpe and I don't know what the world is coming to!

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

I wonder if he has a stroke when people refer to "essential" and "non-essential" workers, or "skilled" and "unskilled" labor. The fact that somebody is starting out at the bottom of the "skill level" in no way means they're a bad person, or worthy of contempt, or a target of ridicule.
Again, our Church runs a Jobs for Life program where we actually work with these people to INCREASE their skill level and help them advance. It's kinda hard to do that if you don't recognize where they are at the moment.
It's SO MUCH easier to sit and attack those people who are actually doing the Lord's Work*.

You are taking a statement that was about some healthcare workers and ignoring that context and making it about all or even most of them. In so doing, you are adding to CP's and Sparko's statements, and then railing against what you have added. I can see that as an accidental thing that sometimes happens in the course of a discussion. I have done it myself. But then you cling to your interpretation despite every effort of others to point out the misconception.Originally posted by simplicio View Post
Pix and MM do this in my discussions with them all the time. It is the primary reason I'm moving towards less interaction on that front. It's a pointless dynamic. It's why I tell Pix she is arguing with a caricature she has created in her own mind. Sparko and Seer do it as well, but not as much as the other two.
CP is just a hopeless case...
