When people respond to your perfectly reasonable arguments with snark and "quotes," it's because they know you're right, right? I have a cousin I didn't know was a cousin. His wife is in a club with us. Y'all can figure it out. Anyway, he wrote on FB today basically that people would be safer walking around in polos and khakis than in hoodies.
Asinine. I remarked, "Ok...but how many teenagers wear polos and khakis? #Devil's Advocate." I don't really see the problem with that. A. Teenagers wear a lot of hoodies. They can. It's right there in the Declaration of Independence; Life, Liberty, and the Freedom to be Fashionable. B. What if I wore a hoodie and ate Skittles while I walked down the street? I don't think anyone would hassle me. C. A young #1 wore a lot of hoodies...
Which brought be to my next point, after said cousin responded angrily. I said, "I can't really talk about this case. I bring a bias to it because I work with children (Occupational Hazard.)" I ask you, is that unreasonable? I find that perfectly reasonable. I won't go on a rant because I know I bring baggage to the table.
This brings on a ton of argument using "child" in quotes...just like that.
You know what. I don't even need to talk about this anymore. My cousins are crazy. Done.
