Oh, I'm not the one who said that your father gave you everything . . . other than the rolodex, the "favors" to his colleagues to give you your first insurance sales, your education, etc. After all of that, you did the actual "work."
And yes, without your wife's six-figure salary since you were 27 or 28, you would be in a far different situation than you are. Neither of those are anything to be ashamed about, it's just reality.
I responded to it with a paragraph. My argument was never about if coal production is or isn't up in WV. My argument was that you were dishonest in your argument by claiming that your comment ("Coal production is up in WV") only meant "southern WV" and then tried placing blame on the other person for reading your statement as any logical person would. You then continued your dishonesty by stating that since your "shop" was in southern WV (which was introduced AFTER your original claim), that anyone should have known that your "Coal production is up in WV" comment clearly meant only in southern WV.
None of those things are true. You know it. The other people know it. I know it.
That's why you can't answer this: if you meant only southern WV with your comment, and if you truly knew/though coal production is up in WV (by the logical, reasonable, and honest interpretation of that phrase), why would you have argued that your comment only was to mean southern WV? You wouldn't have had to make such a dishonest, illogical argument. You could have simply said "Yes, coal production is up in WV" and shown your argument instead of lying and saying you only meant "southern WV."
Again, it's very simply for anyone who has taken the time to read this thread. You said something wrong, got called out for it, tried placing blame on the other person, tried lying about what you really meant, then when realizing your actual comment may be correct, backtracked yet again to argue that is exactly what you intended to mean.
