When I was young back in 1760s and 70s, many men bought and used slaves.. it wasn't even against the law. And if you were abusing slaves it wasn't even a big deal.. why did this big change happen? Well a lot of it has to do with a power grab and a money grab by municipalities and police.. and the politicians are always looking for some crisis to opportunitize and grab some headlines and more power.. same thing for seat belts.. power and money.. there was a lot of propaganda put out against slavery and against not having seat belts, and human beings are very susceptible to propaganda especially when they are young /s
Like another poster said, what a nonsensical argument. You are a walking example why immortality for humanity would be a terrible thing. It is better that old people with archaic beliefs like you die off so that you won't be around to inflict your ridiculous nostalgia 'for the good old times' on the rest of us.
You are either being deliberately obtuse or truly ignorant, given how you have missed the main points of the argument and engaged in strawman fallacies. It is probably the latter, since you have implied (by 'go-to response') that people are commonly asking you to re-read what they said. A strong hint that you are the problem.
Besides the original comment, you can also read the multiple comments elsewhere in this thread making similar points. I am not too hopeful it will help, since your reading comprehension is obviously lacking.
Clearly, the all-too-common combination of stupidity and arrogance is alive and present in you. It is embarrassing how someone who have lost the plot then turns around and says that it is the other party that has lost the argument. Too stupid to understand and arrogant enough to inflict your ignorance on others. Thankfully, many of the users here easily recognized your hubris. No, it is you who are done. How humiliating.
