Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 20, 2015

One of the things I hate most about the internet is the need so many people have to make an argument out of anything and everything, and do so with the childish tactic of applying bizarre absolutes to refute anything that’s been said.

“Not ALL (men/women/lawyers/athletes, whatever the topic is) are like that!”. Well, duh. You cannot apply anything to any group of people, no matter how much it’s based in fact, and have it apply to universally.

Child, please. Citing an exception does not disprove the rule. Grow up.

Then there’s the hilariously insipid attempt to employ a tired old quip as a counter point, only to have it ironically support the other’s point. We see that here with, “real men don’t eat quiche”. My only hope here is that it was meant to be ironic. Have you bothered to look at the ingredients for making quiche? It’s almost nothing but fatty, artery-clogging junk that has almost no nutritional value.
