It's just not a realistic perspective in my opinion, but even if you think it is, all I am asking from you is that you accept others see it differently and that contrary opinion is as valid as yours on this topic.Also, a tendentious argument which you are biased against to begin with is still a relevant argument.  Is it really that hard to admit there is another side to this issue which you simply disagree with based on personal preference?Again, not for me.  They're pretty typical of life.  It's weird - you keep assuming your perspective, on a host of topics, is universal.  Anyway my point stands, you saying my argument is irrelevant is the same as you dismissing it.  There is no real difference there.First, your argument is just as selfish, and second, I made it quite clear there I don't want anything taken off the shelf and your analogy is vacuous.  I am saying I want the same amount of cake currently on the shelf, YOU are asking for a change here not me.  Except your change harms my interests.  Just as the current status quo hurts your interests.  Both are selfish, in that we are both expressing what's best for each of us.  That doesn't make either of our views irrelevant.And that's just a blatant misrepresentation of what I said not worth a response.  You want to talk about what I actually said then cool.  You want to strawman me, go play that game somewhere else.</blockquote>
