      Because we are discussing health insurance and the definition of gambling. You keep trying to change the subject to various other subjects, such as:

      • “being an American male”
      • unemployment insurance
      • your wages
      • crossing the street
      • my usage of quotation marks

      and including religion, which is a straw man

      straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1]One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

      That amnesia is really hitting you hard!

          No, you keep trying to change the subject, and I keep calling it out while staying on the subject of health insurance and the meaning of the word “gambling.” Again, blaming me for your words and actions.

          You’re free to your “beliefs”, but the facts and evidence contradict you.

              You were using straw man because you had no rational response to a discussion about health insurance.
