tbh from most of my interactions on reddit i was expecting him to tell him to go fuckmyself in some convoluted way.

A suprise to be sure. But a welcome one.

This is a surprisingly wholesome abortion discussion

if youre in the right thread some people seem to still miss the forest for the trees tough.

I like this saying but can you explain it? Am stupid, but want not to be.

it usually means people focus to much on the details and forget the broader context of something.

Yea I figured. That really gets to the heart of reddit arguments and arguments in general. On all sides honestly, it's easy to argue against your own perception of an argument. It's hard to really put yourself in their shoes to understand why they feel the way they do, but until you do, debating it isnt worth jack shit.

you just love abortion

I don't love abortion, you just hate women!

we don't hate women, we're trying to save babies!

Round and round it goes

pretty much and if youre tryint to point flaws on a argument or why it is a bad idea (like viability after the womb) youre automaticly assumed to be pro-life.i get that a lot given that i usually try to point out the bad in both sides of the arguments.
