    Yeah who cares about definitions of things?

      There is “I’m trying to open people’s eyes to the truth” focusing on details and definitions.

      Then there’s “I’m a cunt and you’re an idiot” splitting of hairs that add nothing to the conversation or anyone’s thoughts on the matter.

      Guess which group you fall in. (Hint; the votes on your comment)

        You are literally adding nothing to the situation and being an actual cunt so…

        At least I was on topic.

        There’s no argument to be had, all soap is anti-bacterial. It’s a fact, not a position.

            Loving all the kickback for stating an empirically correct statement. This platform is wild.

              I’m curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I’m not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.

              You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.

              That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

              *I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…
