(8,352 posts)You asked 'Who cares?' Well, there are large swatches of the population who don't care that Armstrong lied. No one was hurt with that one. Many don't care that Bush lied even though many died because of that one. Many just don't care that someone lied unless it personally affects them.
I didn't misrepresent your position. I didn't draw a fictitious conclusion as you didn't exactly offer a cogent argument. Your response, however, was far more 'strawman' like as you added words I never said, drew conclusions I never presented, and are attacking a point I never made.
I didn't say her lie was equal. I said all lies are equal regardless of intent and outcome. That is why it is important to care not only about little lies like this but the big ones as well. Read On Bullshit as you really might understand then what I was communicating in this limited medium.
If you weren't so focused on 'winning' perhaps you might learn something.
Guess not so enjoy your day.
