Apparently, you have a different meaning for "cherry picking."
Cherry picking means picking out part of something to misrepresent the whole of that thing.
Picking some things out without changing the context is not cherry picking. Sort of like you just did yourself. You quoted me on just the things you responded to, but it wasn't cherry picking because you didn't change the context of what I said. Since you didn't change the context of what I said, I have no problem with you selectively quoting me.
I'm pretty sure I didn't take anything you said out of context. I even asked questions that you have still yet to answer or even acknowledge that I asked.
I'll ask again, do you feel like I took something you said out of context? If you do, please point it out so we can discuss it.

Picking out specific parts of a post, and responding to them only without the context and spirit of the entire post, so that's it's advantageous to your point of view... Is EXACTLY cherry picking... and you even did a poor job of it.
You quite literally posted : "This is only a "common sense" solution if no one is allowed to travel between "closed" and "opened" areas.".... and obviously didn't read the part right after where I said exactly that in the post...
This tells me, without a doubt.. you had no intention of reading the entire post, trying to comprehend what I said, or gather the point I was making... you simply wanted to cherry pick what I posted to promote your thoughts.

Holy sheet, no adult should whine as much as you do. It's intolerable.

Far Left: "Everyone must stay home"
Far Right: "Everyone must get back to work"
What I see watching them both.... and wondering why we can't make common sense decisions using situational-based case by case location real-time data, and leave our ideology out of this:

What did I take out of context?
Cherry picking has nothing to do with the "spirit" of the post. Even if it did, I asked questions to get clarification of your intended "spirit" and you have yet to answer any of them.
It seems at this point you're just going to keep dismissing what I said with unwarranted accusations instead of actually discussing what I said.
It's the same type of behavior you seem to loathe in others. Like I said before, Republicans and Democrats don't have the market cornered on stupidity and BS. We don't have a partisan problem in our society. We have a narcissistic and tribal arrogance problem.

You did it again... you quoted only the part that supports what you want to say... so I will post it again...

There's the rub. Who is saying everyone must stay home all of the time?

Is that what you do when you have no answer?

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but I'm not seeing many in the far left saying everyone must stay locked down. I see them saying we should follow the well thought out White House guidelines and not open if you don't meet those metrics.
I do see many on the right, and not just the far right, saying we should just open back up.

No, It's what I do when I will be wrong with the person asking the question... no matter what I say... (hint - I have been married a long time - daddy know better)

Supply evidence of your argument and I'll have no choice but to accept your argument.
Nice shot at your wife, btw. You're a misogynist, too, eh? Nice.
