i would only be elitist if i thought that illustrating a point through parables was the only was to do so and refused to validate any other form of argument.
and that is clearly not the case. i haven’t made fun of anyone because they don’t use stories to illustrate their points… or said their argument wasn’t viable because it was not illustrated by personal stories..
i ask only for equal opportunity to state my case my way without being made the brunt of sarcastic jokes…
that doesn’t require any special privileges.. no matter what some would lead you to believe…
Those personal stories shouldn’t prevent anyone from making a logical case…
The problem is with those who think the existance of those stories gives them the right to denigrate the people in those stories. and that is not ok.
You have done so yourself.. labeling me and my personal stories as victim mentality…
Yet, i have taken great pains not to label myself as a victim…
but you have.. which by the way is the most victimizing aspect of personal misfortune.
Bad things happen to good people… no one is safe from life’s accidents.
you are more likely to have bad things happen to you if the circumstances of your birth are less economically or racially favorable. Everyone doesn’t get the same opportunities…
And blaming people for not getting those opportunities is the real victimization…
