how legit is this?

sorry if this is wrong place for it

sending bombs to politicians isn't normal, nor should it ever be

it's definitely something that ppl can get worked up about

Who the hell said it should be normal?

My argument was concerning the frequency.

DO you think it should be normal that an infant dies in Africa?

Do we have a report on it every time it happens?

<:MercyWut:303986595395010564>

Don't put words in my mouth.

infants die, that's normal

we'll never reach 0% infant mortality

And depending on how often the Secret Service intercepts suspicious packages, THAT might be normal.

no need to get all defensive tho, i wasn't attacking your personally

"sending bombs to politicians isn't normal, nor should it ever be"

ya

i stand by that statement

So you are saying that infant deaths should be normal?

<:WaitWhat:433646897383866369>

Because that is exactly the attribution you are trying to make.

dude, you're making leaps here
the abnormality of sending bombs is something we agree on

You attributed to me saying that we should accept it as normal, based on how frequently it happens.

no, you've falsely inferred that

"sending bombs to politicians isn't normal, nor should it ever be
it's definitely something that ppl can get worked up about"

My argument was based on how frequently this happens, not the nature or the severity of the incident itself.

cool

and i made an observation about how it shouldn't be perceived as normal

I think a few people might be confused as to what the beef is here snce he's saying the same thing as you

ye, i'm confused myself tbh

everyone hit the reset

no one knows where we are

No, he was not saying the same thing.

He was implying that I was denying Tim's rationale for seeing this as a big story.

I think that it might not be a big story, based on how frequently it happens.

you said it's frequent, i said it's not normal
the two statements aren't contradictory

I was arguing that the severity of an incident alone does not determine this, which is why I brought up the case infant death.

and i didn't mean to attack you, so i'm sorry if it came across that way

It is a loss of life, yet, due to how frequently it happens, we do not see it as an extraordinary news study.

When he implied that "It shouldn't ever be normal, it's normal to get worked up about it." it was implying that I was trying to normalize it.

suspicious packages arriving is not abnormal. Ones which are reported as being potentially functional bombs, are.
