You guys are getting all frothy over a half serious line on the end of an internet comment.
Do you want me to prove I met a guy, relatively in passing, nearly two decades ago or just that I assume things?
I assume you’re gonna try and respond, if that helps clear up the latter, not really sure how I can do the former, as the guy is likely dead now even if I could contact him.
I’m not saying you need to prove you met the guy, mate. No fucking one did. I’m saying that knowing 3 guys, 2 of whom are an inherent anomaly giving they show up on the news, is not enough for you to draw conclusions from. It’s that simple.
Also, insert the ‘jokes on them I’m not retarded’ meme here. You said all. Then you stood your ground but said “not surprised there’s more” while asking someone to prove something when you made a claim. Now you’re walking it back saying it was a half serious line while acting like we’re the ones who said something wrong.
It’s amazing how much people on lemmy like to talk about scientific accuracy, make fun of right wingers for being stupid and not understanding statistics, etc. But all that goes out the window when it’s convenient. We want to dunk on people from the military, so fuck all that now. 3 cases, of which two are more likely to be noticed because they were news worthy, prove everything. Ok. I’m not gonna try to reason anymore with people who just want to rant and complain about something.
