I see a distinct failure to address my actual point.

Well considering you made two points and I’m addressing one directly, I think I’m good. You present two dramatic points without a shred of evidence then ask other people to refute that in a concise and verbose manner and when one does, you say no no not that—my real point. Have a good one, bud.

You did not refute anything I said. You bluntly refused to address my actual points while ranting about free trade's effect on the environment because I likened the consensus of economists to that of scientists.

Yeah, if you prop up your argument with absolutely nothing but a faulty, unsubstantiated premise, it’s going to be treated as it is: an opinion being stated as fact. Funny that.

So, did you address my point, or did you refuse to because it's unsubstantiated nonsense? How can the essential premise of what you're saying change so drastically in under fifteen minutes?
