    You’re just being snide here and not in any way explaining what is it that you disagree with me here exactly. There’s plenty of people replying to that comment that they more or less agree with that summary. It’s a generalization. Ofcourse it lacks nuance. That’s the average attitude of a group, not any one individual.

      Right, so no one has actually said that. You’ve invented an argument no one is making based on a generalization, and then patting yourself on the back for how well you’ve pointed out how bad the argument is (that you invented and no one actually made).

      It’s the definition of a straw man. You’re not even twisting some one else’s argument, you’ve invented one entirely on your own to knock down.

        Like I said; it’s the general attitude of Lemmings as a group. Not that of any individual. If you don’t understand how averages work then I can’t help you. The fact that you don’t know anyone with 1.5 children doesn’t mean it’s not the average amount of kids of families with kids.

        Straw man means misrepresenting someone’s argument. It’s called hollow man when you made up the argument entirely.

        Did you look at the replies to that comment? Does that seem like people disagree with my post?

        Where is the lie?

        Do you have an example on why any of these povs are wrong?

        i can easily agree with 90% of that.

        I can agree to 80% but also disagree with 80%.

        I also agree with most of that

        Lol what maniac would hold opposite opinions for all of these?

        To be honest, I agree with all of these.

        Yeah, I guess there is some truth to it.
