    Good grief, I was not making fun of them. I feel like there’s either some trolling or some sort of a reading comprehension deficit going on here. And judging by the comment scores, I’m not alone in that suspicion.

      Ok, then clarify.

      And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.

      Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?

        In case you’re not trolling, I would like to point something out to you:

        The up-/downvote ratio here probably reflects the fact that onlookers don’t believe you are arguing in good faith. It should act as a wake-up call to you, an indicator that you should re-consider what the other person is saying and ask yourself “Am I misunderstanding their point? Could this be interpreted differently?”.

        You may find that you are disagreeing with them over something they never said or intended to say.
