Interesting, a single page comic turned this thread into a 6 paged tl;dr thread.

Had my tonsils out when I was 6 or 7. I couldn't talk for a week or so and I ate enough ice cream for my entire school!
BTW, no one liked my snoring Lew post? Just wanted to inject a little humor into the discussion. Or am I on probation for my meltdown last week? Yeah, I'm pretty ashamed about that.
Back on topic, I have a disability and cannot work full time. Therefore, I am on my parents health plan. In fact, my dad just renewed coverage for me. Point is, I'm kinda worried about what will happen when my parents die. I'll need something so I'm hoping this whole situation gets straightened before that happens.
Oxygen is free.Well, as the old economics mantra goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. So no, it's not 'free', technically, in the sense that nothing is free.
Oxygen is actually purchased in bulk from various planktons and trees in exchange for carbon credits.This entire topic is irrelevant to me. The comic makes no sense to me either. How dissappointing.

No, that was your issue here.fritz's problem was that he was interpreting "not getting cancer" as a reward, and not an action. so...?
and also that he enjoys saying that things are wrong regardless of whether he understands what the intended statement was or not.
You said that drinking beer is the incentive to not getting cancer. My last post shows that you misinterpreted the meaning of 'incentive.'you have it backwardsyes there is. Scientists are working on modifying the ingredients of beer to make beer have the same cancer-preventing chemical that is found in red wine. So, drinking beer is the incentive to not get cancer.
Tai, you pointed out the faulty reasoning so much more succinctly and in so much less time that my only course of action now is to kill you. :<So, if I not get cancer, I get to drink beer?
people get cancer. getting cancer is the action that people are doing. the ability to drink beer that can help prevent cancer is an incentive to not get cancer. The only problem was that my grammar is purposefully odd when used with the concepts we're discussing, and Fritz [and apparently anami] can't help himself but to rage at things like that.[the] problem was that he was interpreting "not getting cancer" as a reward, and not an action.
Trust me, my parents have gone through every option. Problem is that my disability is a slight neurological impairment. The key word is "slight". It neither makes me stupid, retarted or "slow" but does effect my short term memory to a degree.If you have a disability you should be able to get medicare or medicade. I always mix up which is for old people and which is for white trash who claim to have a back injury that prevents them from working but doesn't prevent them from riding 4 Wheelers.
the fact that you were able to reword it to something that made sense proves that you understood what the words meant.no you still don't understand what words mean
try it like this: "not getting cancer is an incentive to drink beer"
Sir emotion music fruit, you appear to be unable to discern the meaning of 'incentive.' I hereby cease to participate in this discussion, as the meaning of the aforementioned word has been made abundantly clear, and you persistently continue to ignore it.the fact that you were able to reword it to something that made sense proves that you understood what the words meant.no you still don't understand what words mean
try it like this: "not getting cancer is an incentive to drink beer"
