MODERATORS
Taking just the firefighting comment out of context as "hating" kind of confirms that you're not actually reading what I'm saying or understanding it either.
My issue is that unelected fire officials often override elected officials pushing for safe streets. They're treated with reverence despite their role in the mass auto fatalities every day.
I'll respond to you more once I'm done with this shift.
Irony.
Try to get past the first sentence next time, maybe you'll actually understand what I'm saying.
Again, irony.
Do you have an issue with safe streets?
That's not even relevant to the hypocrisy of you calling someone a "hater" based on a single comment and then saying you aren't a "hater" based on multiple comments because they're all supposedly out of context.
But I'm not surprised you're trying to change the subject.
And no matter how much you want me to, you're still not important enough to me to hate. Sorry.
You said I was a hater citing as evidence that I was being critical of fire departments when they oppose safe streets, because more people die from car crashes than house fires by an order of magnitude.
You seem to be confusing being critical with "hating"
Don't worry I'll address the rest of your allegations once I'm not using my phone to reply.
Yet again, irony.
I'm not surprised you're again trying to change the subject rather than face the fact that pretty much everything you've said since you hilariously called me a "hater" has been hypocritical.
Hey, you said all my comments are hating, and provided as most recent evidence me advocating for safer streets. Now you refuse to even engage on the topic you brought up.
It's not exactly changing the subject to ask you if you have some issues with the thing you yourself cited.
I did not say that.
You're now lying to avoid your hypocritical comments.
