    The activity is the only relevant part. If I like to ice fish, I’m only gonna be able to do that during the winter. Therefore I like the winter, because it enables me to do the activity that i like.

    Nothing about the winter enables you in particular to sit with cocoa and a heated blanket. Other than the fact that you like to sit under blankets with cocoa.

      Then I’d argue, you just like ice-fishing.

      How does that lead to liking winter? That’s just the time of year.

      The answer, is the same way people who like winter for any other reason.

      Nothing about the winter enables you in particular to sit with cocoa and a heated blanket. Other than the fact that you like to sit under blankets with cocoa.

      Ask around. The vast majority of people will simply say “it’s not the same”.

      Because it isn’t. It’s not winter.

        You can’t do it at another time of year. Now i think you’re the one being dense.

          Why does that lead to liking winter?

          I hate insects.

          They only show up in summer.

          Does that make me a liar if I claim to like summer?

          You can think whatever you like, it doesn’t change the fact you’re detecting dishonesty where none is present.

          You’re just wrong.

          Liking a time of year does not require engaging in “exclusive” activities to “prove” it.

          End of discussion.

            Why does that lead to liking winter?

            I can tell that you lack reading comprehension, go back and read it again.

            Liking a time of year does not require engaging in “exclusive” activities to “prove” it.

            What a pointless argument then. Why do you bother arguing about liking seasons or not, if you don’t care about the characteristics of a season?

            Does that make me a liar if I claim to like summer?

            Well, either you are lying to yourself or to me. But what do I know about you.

              The discussion is over.

              I’m clearly incapable of helping you get it.

              That, or you’re a troll. Which seems much more likely.

              I can’t imagine any sane person discovering how unpopular their position is as yours, and not stopping to reconsider whether they might not have an accurate understanding of how people think about the subject.

                  No.

                  I’m right because I’m right, and your refusal to actually consider what I’ve said in your position is mind boggling. You HAVE to be trolling? Right?!

                  Your position would require omnipotence on your part to be valid, yet you claim to be able to determine the presence of hypocrisy based on factors that have no obligation to correlate with the conclusion you are claiming is obvious.

                  Oh look, here I go paraphrasing my own point again. As if you’ll finally comprehend it enough to put together the beginnings of a valid retort.

                    No, my point explains itself. You on the other hand require whole paragraphs to try to convince yourself that whatever you think is true, is. Do you not understand the word “lie”? Do you not know what the word “hypocrisy” means?

                    In that case I can understand how you would need to paraphrase YOURSELF. Even your own argument against me, claiming that I’M claiming to be the omnipotent one falls on the fact that you only care about your own arguments, making you, dare I say, a hypocrite?

      Bottom line: your lack of comprehension does not make other people hypocritical.

      It just makes you dense.
