> education in this country

What country? Did you assume everyone visiting and commenting on this website live on one country?

Holy hell, calm down, bro.

I never assumed everyone, I am replying to pmiller2. And yes, I am assuming pmiller2 and I both live in the United States. There is a pretty good chance I am correct about that.

How fun are you at parties?

You're assuming, huh? What's the basis for that assumption? What's even the relevance? Do my arguments carry less weight if I'm a brown person living in Bangladesh than if I'm a cishet white guy living in NYC?

No rational person could possibly see where you might be going with this.

The relevance of the assumption is that I made the statement "the education in this country has failed us" - us being you and I. So the relevance is that we both live in the same country regardless of our race, gender identity, or sexuality. I am not how you managed to pull all of those things in.

But, do we? You've assumed that. And, even if we do, what relevance does that have to my arguments?
