Hence the word if. If you don't agree, say so, and I will try and see things from your point of view. However, do you disagree that we are not burning through all our resources for energy and for the materials we use to build things for ourselves, will we not run out eventually? Sorry I didn't come off as more neutral, but that's pretty close minded of you to leave the discussion and not even read further simply because of that. Usually I respect your opinion, but I think not even hearing out what I had to say and simply pointing out that I was being manipulative in my wording and I was becoming less credible to you as the reader afterward is pretty stupid. What do you have to say about this, do you disagree? Why? I'd legitimately like to know, because I share a lot of opinions with you and am genuinely interested in what you have to say despite how offensive your post can be interpreted as.

In case you didn't notice, I pretty much just showed you by example how you should behave if you expect others to take you seriously. I apologize for coming off the way I did to you, but at least I tried to understand why you posted the way you did, which is more than I can say for you. You're coming off as pretty immature.
