Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
So much for trying to understand the nuance of opposing viewpoints.
You're just being snide here and not in any way explaining what is it that you disagree with me here exactly. There's plenty of people replying to that comment that they more or less agree with that summary. It's a generalization. Ofcourse it lacks nuance. That's the average attitude of a group, not any one individual.
Right, so no one has actually said that. You've invented an argument no one is making based on a generalization, and then patting yourself on the back for how well you've pointed out how bad the argument is (that you invented and no one actually made).
It's the definition of a straw man. You're not even twisting some one else's argument, you've invented one entirely on your own to knock down.
Like I said; it's the general attitude of Lemmings as a group. Not that of any individual. If you don't understand how averages work then I can't help you. The fact that you don't know anyone with 1.5 children doesn't mean it's not the average amount of kids of families with kids.
Straw man means misrepresenting someone's argument. It's called hollow man when you made up the argument entirely.
Did you look at the replies to that comment? Does that seem like people disagree with my post?
