Yeah that's kinda key to my my point

And clearly you're so poorly-versed in literature theory that you've never heard of unintented subtext.

You just admitted that your reading skill is so poor, you can't even pick up the obvious subtext of your own words

So your argument is that people don't care about reading?

I hope you realise that this actually weakens your point

Think differently from me.... hmm. The opinion I'm defending is that books can move you. No, I will not entertain the notion that books can't be moving.

I also didn't say you made any value judgments about anything. I said you bragged, because your statement indeed comes across as an attempt to brag. Not a good one, though, of course.

Also, im not "defending literature interpretation".

Imagine actually admitting this

Now imagine somehow bragging about it

It boggles the mind

If that seems "smartypants" to you, your intellectual standards are set pretty damn low.

Mixing up cause and effect isn't some minor goof. It's the difference between eating bread and eating fire.

Not as part of a normal life. Or at least, I don't see many people carrying baskets of freshly picked apples around.

Your point is true, though, even if a bit impractical for most.

I wonder how the tankies will try to spin this. Putin is as far from communist as a person can get. Surely the tankies won't continue to claim that NK is even remotely socialist.

Do you commonly interpret criticism as a request for a thorough academic study?

You weren't asked for anything, and this certainly isn't the equivalent of book titles and the tools to make them.

It's more like interrupting a discussion about someone who was just shot dead by police to say, "yeah, it's called being shot", then getting all pissy when someone tells you that actually, the broader issue is police brutality in general.
