      You say every one, someone else says there are exceptions, you say obviously but this is true for most of them, they say yeah that’s fair, and nothing of substance is added to the discussion. Why not skip that whole rigamarole and just start with “the vast majority” or “nearly every one” instead of unnecessarily hyperbolizing?

          See, there you go! Now I can’t point out the one guy that demonstrates an exception if you stated “every person” instead of most! I get that it’s an annoying thing to change, but is it more annoying than having this conversation multiple times?

            You should realize that most people don’t find the concept of a discussion annoying or challenging, but i expect that probably is not the case for conversations that include you.

              I find it annoying when a large portion of law enforcement would likely help the federal government interfere with elections and people start nitpicking over exactly how many. If I can offer a simple solution to prevent getting sidetracked like that in the future, I will.
