I don't think straw men are what you think they are, Toto.

Someone said going to an Ivy was a sign that the person had good parenting. Someone else said that achievement in and of itself was not evidence that one had good parenting, and listed a few notable high achievers (albeit in other arenas) who are famous for having been poorly parented. You may find the comparison false or inadequate but that doesn't make it a straw man.

Now, if someone replied to the person above, "so you're saying that people who don't get into ivies are poorly parented!?" [i]that[/i] would be a straw man.[/quote]

NP here.

No. But I don't have the energy for you.[/quote]

+1 The lack of intellect on this board is astounding.

Such stupidity really is exhausting.[/quote]

~yawn~

Remind me why you are here again?[/quote]

To engage in INTELLIGENT dialogue with parents who are also preparing to send their children to college.

I am certainly NOT here to shuffle through a bunch of illogical arguments that make no sense whatsoever and only serve to reveal how very insecure (and dense) some people are.[/quote]
