If you are a Libertarian and hold liberty as your core value, why do you not believe in universal healthcare? Nothing impacts liberty more than sickness and death.

I’m talking about being against gambling and you are trying to define gambling as doing anything because it might have an outcome - this isn’t a good-faith stance in this conversation which we are having.
- I didn’t define gambling— the dictionary did. Blaming me because certain words have certain meanings is irrational, and is certainly not good-faith. And attacking me personally just because you have no other argument is just an Ad hominem.
  
  Where am I attacking you personally?
  
  Have lost track of what you’ve said already? Are you having a sudden attack of very convenient amnesia?
  
  I have not attacked you personally so I’m asking you to show me.
  
  If it is a personal attack I will apologize.
  
  I am not responsible for your actions nor for helping you to gain absolution or forgiveness. If you lack the self-awareness to realize what you’ve said or have a such a poor memory that you can’t remember from one comment to the next, then perhaps you should be tending to those issues rather than arguing with strangers online.
  
  Different people have different levels of tolerance when it comes to things like this.
  
  You seem very sensitive so I obviously can’t judge what you feel is a personal attack or not and that’s why I’m asking for clarification.
  
  Because I don’t want to cause you any anguish.
  
  So, it’s more ad hominem attacks rather than actually presenting an argument to defend your point.
  
  You said I attacked you personally but won’t clarify what I said to cause you anguish.
  
  to cause you anguish.
  
  So, in addition to your evident memory problems, you have sadistic fantasies in which you imagine the people you lose arguments to in “anguish”? Yikes! Too bad about that health insurance you don’t have, as you’d be able to talk about that with a therapist.
  
  Shouldn’t have gambled your health on your ignorance of what insurance is and what the word “gambling” mean… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  
  You told me I was personally attacking you so I figured it must be a big deal to you if you are bringing it up.
  
  But you won’t tell me what I did that you feel was attacking you so I can apologize to you and not repeat the words that are causing you as much anguish.
