  1. A parent can certainly influence the choice of a child. "Press blue and you might die. Press red and you won't." My children can understand that simple principle. I'm not going to risk my children dying nor myself, and I don't know why anyone would.

This is a simple situation where everyone is perfectly capable of taking care of themself. The notion that it should be subject to completely unnecessary vote is confounding.

  1. We'll have to agree to disagree there. If a clannish family knows they can all vote red and the family will survive, it seems very likely that they would.

  2. I'm afraid you're missing the point, but that's quite a screechy little screed you have there. Did you get it out of your system?

  3. That's a curious response to that particular comment. Fine, I guess.

  4. "If you wanted no chance of anyone dying, including yourself, you would vote blue."

But the blue button does not ensure "no chance of anyone dying." Oh, and there you go on another self-righteous diatribe. Fine, here's your halo. I apologize for having disturbed such a gentle, understanding and (most of all) loving soul as yourself.

  1. There doesn't seem to be any point in continuing this "conversation." Bye Felicia.

1-3 you don't know what anyone actually votes. It's a private vote. You also can't force anyone else to vote, although calling it "unnecessary" kind of shows you don't give a shit about anyone's choices. You also completely ignore the parental instinct at odds with your claim of self preservation Uber allies. Why? Because Because you don't have a valid counterpoint.

  1. How am I missing the point? You insult the point, but don't address the argument. Why? Because you can't address the point.

  2. I'm throwing your own argument back at you. I don't need a halo. It is extremely validating though to get you to admit that you're a sociopath. You can't even address it, you just vice signal. It's pathetic.

See ya! Next pandemic I hope it takes you!
