Rush used to say, “Words have meanings.”

Your post is offensive as you are using “We” instead of “I”. If you do not know what you think, why are you so intellectually weak as to think “we” can help you make up your mind? When I was a kid (80 years ago), people like you would have been sent to Middletown (the location of the state nuthouse) because of one or more of your apparent medical deficiencies.

Stop pushing your agenda on this website.

Offensive? To whom?

If you complain that the pronoun ‘we’ is speaking for others and unacceptable, then we will assume you’re speaking only for yourself. So why are you offended? How?

As it happens my pedantic friend, the use of ‘we’ is a rhetorical device, often called The Royal We in jest. It is a means of soliciting opinion. How do we think the Chiefs will do this year? and so forth.

My, my you are are a rather hostile 80something. Medical deficiencies? Are you a doctor practicing internet medicine? Someone asks for opinion and you lose your temper?

To what agenda do you refer? Do you have a topical point to make or merely engaging in ad hominem?
