I 100% disagree with your idea that you, or anyone for that matter, is just here to disagree with other people’s ideas. Nobody disagrees with stuff just for the sake of disagreement. Who would do such a thing?

Don’t bother answering that question though because you’d be wrong.



Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?


> Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

It's abuse.


I have a feeling that a lot of people replying to you completely missed what you were doing with your comment. That's a shame, because well done.


This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction!


No it isn't.


I feel like I’m watching you cosplay what I see 20 times a day on Reddit and why I’ve increasingly stopped browsing it.


You're not wrong. But, you're not right either.


Neither of you aren't not wrong.


Everyone is wrong, we live in a wonderful world where everyone can be wrong.


They can't both be not wrong.


I disagree, but I can't agree either. Do we have a deal?


I was going more for getting the classic response, from the old story:

Two men disagree and they bring a local wise man to listen to them. He listens to the first guy making his case, and tells him:

- You're right.

The other guy protests: Hey, here my side too. So the wise man listens to his side of the story too, and then tells him:

- You're right.

A bystandander witnessing this scene then calls out to the wise man:

- They can't both be right!

And the wise man says:

- You're right, too!


So true, reb Tevye.


the right word is "irrelevant".

You must be new here.


Either that, or you are, having apparently missed the obvious irony (mostly in the sentence you didn't quote)...


Comprehending nuance isn't one of your strong points, is it?


It's ok I'm perfectly ok with my old ance.


It's spelled "newance". ;)
