For example, suppose a gentleman approached you and offered to sodomize
you.
Would you accept that opportunity?

How about if someone offers you the opportunity to eat human flesh. Jump
at
that, would you?

Ah, Pete, you never let me down, or fail to amuse. Only a true pedant
could possibly take this argument to such extremes, with a straight
face.

Nor do you let me down, nor fail to amuse.

You are completely failing to observe that your reluctance to do things that
you find abhorrent is no different than someone else's reluctance to do
things that they find abhorrent. Such as, for example, operating or riding
in an airplane.

Just because you don't find flying an airplane to be abhorrent, scary,
terrifying, disgusting, whatever, that doesn't mean that everyone shares
your feelings.

It's pretty funny, actually. You refuse to acknowledge a point when it is
too subtle for your simple, close-minded approach to the discussion to
comprehend, and then when someone comes along to adjust the example so that
it is so extreme, even someone like you could understand, you take issue
with it being extreme, calling it pedantry.

If I'm being so pedantic, how come you couldn't understand what Jose was
correctly pointing out before?

I'd say "only you, Jay", except unfortunately our country is filled with
non-thinkers such as yourself who treat every debate in this very way.
