So your answer is to do nothing and be apathetic?
It's more pointing out how the suggested action is bullshit. It's like if you had a leaking roof and someone said to blow soap bubbles on it. And then when you point out that's a nonsensical solution that has no chance of working, they reply "oH, so YoU juSt waNT to Do NotHinG anD bE apaThEtic?"
Pointing out that someones suggestion is a non-solution is not an endorsement of doing nothing. It's pointing out that the suggestion is not helpful and distracts from actual solutions.
Pretending the IRS would actually go after a church is ignoring the reality of the situation. I don't want suggestions that would only work in some deluded made up fantasy world.
Then, by all means, what do you suggest since you obviously know more?
Jump on one foot and whistle.
What's that? You don't think that will do anything and it's an unhelpful suggestion?
Unfortunately you just established that you can't criticize dumb ideas unless you offer a working alternative, so I guess we'll all just have to stupidly go along with my jump-on-one-foot-and-whistle strategy until then.
/s
Again, you provide nothing of substance other than your apathetic bitchy attitude. Provide an alternative if not shut the fuck up because you provide nothing to the conversation.
Lol, playing the world's smallest violin for ya, champ. You love to dish it but can't take it.
How many ways do I have to say it? I don't need to know or provide an alternative to be able to recognize the current suggestion as bad. How tf are you not grasping this?
Let me try ANOTHER metaphor. Let's say someone asked us both what the square root of 294,797 was without using a calculator. I say "I don't know" and you say "I think it's 4". I don't have to know the correct answer to know that your answer is wrong. And it doesn't magically become worth considering just because it's the only answer that was given. It's still wrong.
