Comment on This is the dumbest idea ever

Perhaps don’t put words in people’s mouths and write dissertations about it? The lengths of our replies should be evidence enough that one party is trying to force an argument and the other simply isn’t interested.

Please move on and have a good day!

Is your idea for a written and practical test every 10 years supported by any data or is it arbitrary?

Deflection is a defense mechanism characterized by redirecting a conversation away from a challenging topic or issue to something less emotionally charged. It can manifest in various ways, such as changing the subject, asking a question, making a joke, or even becoming defensive or aggressive.

  Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don’t think you’re expert in picking up on social cues.
  
  I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.
  
  Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren’t making. You’re confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they’re insisting you defend the point.
  
  That’s you in this thread. You’re that annoying guy.
  
  Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.

    I’m not going to read your essay.
    
    I’ll just assume it’s arbitrary and pulled out of your ass since you keep deflecting instead of answering questions.
