By attempting to refute an assertion about southern Europe using the UK as an example...
Ah, my mistake. You are right, I was a little off topic there. I thought an anecdote about my friend might be fun, but I now understand that it is wrong.
I mean some people say ACAB, but I, for one, am grateful when when people like you decide to police the internet.
It stops us straying into conversation and keeps every action strictly as a nice, clean, binary argument.
Sure, you have to fabricate evidence and jump to your own conclusions to do so... Going so far as to make a weird accusation and then follow it up with a tenuous rationale, but I know it is for my own good.
Thank you for your service, Chief.
...you need to stop smoking whatever you're smoking and come back to reality... Or learn to read, but I decided to be generous and assume you were just too high to know what was going on instead of assuming you were an idiot.
Sure thing, officer.
No weed. Weed bad.
Thanks for keeping us on the straight and narrow.
In all seriousness though, you fabricated something to be pedantic about. Perhaps you should re-read my original comment again. Whilst I open talking about somewhere in England I think go on to talk about Europe more generally. I can do this as I've lived in quite a few European countries, including ones in the south of Europe.
What did you think would happen when you made your erroneously pedantic comment, anyway? That people would like you for it? That you'd feel better for doing it? That you were adding to a conversation?
Nope. I think you've misunderstood discussion and confused your own sort of contrarianism with discourse.
Now, if you are done telling me how to behave and what drugs not to take, I'll be on my way, officer.
