Zeus, is there a reason why you wait over a week in between your replies to a topic? Are you just kind of hoping no one notices so that you can get the last word in and notch it as a victory or something?

Once again we come to the issue of whenever you get anything other than the black/white response you want, you pretend that it's not an answer.

Because it's not. You literally have not answered the question of whether or not you think Trump's statement qualifies as racism or not.

I didn't say the answer had to be black and white - in fact, I figured you'd use this cop-out, which is why I specifically stated that "Yes, but..." and "No, but..." were completely acceptable answers. You can clarify your answer as much as you care to, and if you want to say "Yes, but it's not as racist as when a young person says it" that's your prerogative, but you still have to answer the question. All you've said is that you think Trump is a 70+ year old man - a nice factoid, but not an answer to the question.

It's like if someone asked me if Mike Pence hates gay people and I answered, "I think Mike Pence is a man who is married to a woman and who holds the office of Vice President. I think he has white hair and that he was elected in 2016." All true, all facts, not in any way an answer to the question asked.

Then you have some issues.

Why do you say that? Do you think seniors are just too old and dumb to understand changing social mores? Too senile to comprehend offence and disrespect?

Because that's mad ageist, bro. Have more respect for our senior citizens than that.

Or do you think that Trump is just too stupid to understand the implications behind his words, even after they've been pointed out to him? Maybe, instead of these continued dodges, you should just - y'know - answer the question.
