if you want to argue for "responsibility" maybe you should start with taking some for the problems with your own arguments.

really? a few people do understand what I'm talking about, so it's not as far flung as you're characterizing.
I've tried to get more understanding but people flat out have stated you don't get it, I'm not explaining it to you. Great! Good communication for discussion there!

I simply disagree.

Closest you've come.
I'm not making it as clear cut as same program for program, service for service regardless since obviously some programs and services outweigh others, but in the absence of inability to communicate, I've had to pare it down to that point.
And, your answer is just that you disagree, novel really, maybe even quaint.
