    I don’t have health insurance because I do not agree with gambling.

    That is, itself, gambling. I’ve proven that by *posting the definition of the word “gambling.”

    Again, for reference:

    That is the entirety of my side of this conversation to you so far.

    Except for when you tried to change the subject to unemployment insurance, crossing the road, or my usage of quotation marks.

    You are telling me that I’m wrong to believe what I do and you seem very invested in doing so.

    I have told you - repeatedly - that your “beliefs” are clearly (based on everything you keep saying) based on a complete lack of understanding as to what insurance is, what it’s for, and how it works as well as not really knowing the definition or the word “gambling”. If you heard something other than what I’ve said, that’s on you.

    I don’t want to walk away from this conversation because I feel like it might be rude and that you might actually need someone to talk to.

    Is everything going well in your life?

    Oh, more ad hominem attacks and deflection. Seems like you’re all out of arguments.

        Ya know, I’ve said this repeatedly, but you seem to be having memory problems, so I’ll repeat it:

        I didn’t define anything. The dictionary did.

        For reference:

            In your very first comment on this post, you clearly lay out the risk (and hopeful outcome).

            As an American man I only have a 40% chance of developing cancer in my lifetime, but with universal healthcare there’s 100% chance I will have to pay for it.

            Seems like your memory problems are getting worse… too bad you don’t have health insurance, or you could go see a doctor to have that checked out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                    All American makes have a 40% chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes which you are saying is risky

                    You said that. You defined the risk. Are you having memory problems again and think that I made your comment?

                    So you’re saying it’s risky to be an American male.

                    That is the conclusion you have drawn based on the risk you, yourself, defined. Yet, you’re blaming me for things you did.

                    Do you know what a strawman is?

                    Sure: when you try to change the subject from health insurance to:

                    • “being an American male”
                    • unemployment insurance
                    • your wages
                    • my usage of quotation marks

                    These ar just a few examples of the straw man arguments you’ve tried here.
