    One of us needs to do some growing up for sure; I suspect it’s the one saying that we can’t warn people about cancer because it’s the same as Chinese propaganda; that one-two punch of racism and non sequitur.

    Keep being awesome man.

      Me: points out that propaganda, nagging, and advertising worth through the mechanism of bombarding people with the same message over and over, and is not what we consider education, but is in fact similar to “education camps” which are explicitly distinguished from actual education institutions, since they don’t work through informing people and letting them make their own choice.

      You: you’re racist and don’t make sense!

      … ok there bud.

        Thanks for doubling down on my above points to help clarify them. I appreciate you.

          Whoosh. Thanks for making it clear that you didn’t actually come on a discussion forum to discuss anything, just to hear yourself talk.

            lol. We could probably solve cancer for good if the cure were instances of you deflecting your lack of a cogent argument by claiming that the other person “isn’t here for a discussion”.

              Lmao.

              Just because you can’t understand, apparently basic nuance, like the difference between education and education camps, it doesn’t mean that it’s not understandable.
