You accused her of stating a fact, when she didn't do that. Furthermore, if you want to go deeper, what makes you the deciding factor on what the majority of people think? Maybe the majority of overweight people don't intentionally gain weight. Maybe they do intentionally gain it. She was giving her opinion. Last time I checked, an opinion was just that. An opinion.
Quit holding everyone else up to a higher standard than what you're willing to hold yourself up to. These games you play with words and semantics are really getting old.
Technically, no, I didn't. I told her not to try and pass it off as fact. And it was in fact stated as a fact. I urge you to prove me wrong.
Nothing makes me the deciding factor in that debate, nor does it make you or her. I never claimed anything, I only dismissed her own claim on the matter. It's frankly difficult to distinguish between a claim to knowledge and a mere "opinion". It would be better if one made the distinction themselves prior to stating something of the sort. Otherwise, it's open to interpretation.
I'm not holding anyone to a higher standard than myself. As for the games you think I'm playing, that's a meaningless accusation and you didn't provide any reasoning for it.
