    I’m not the one here with difficulty understanding what the word “gamble” means.

    Hope this helps:

      I’m explaining my beliefs to you.

      What are you getting out of this, by telling me I’m wrong in my beliefs and expanding the definition of gambling to literally anything?

      According to you just getting out of bed is gambling because I might get injured but if I get injured in bed that’s gambling too.

        You’re “beliefs” - as you’ve explained them - appear to be based on a complete lack of knowledge of what insurance is, what it’s for, or how it works as well as several attempts to redefine the word “gambling” tp what fits your “beliefs.” None of your “beliefs” are supported by the facts— they’re complete contradicted by them.

        What are you getting out of this, by telling me I’m wrong in my beliefs and expanding the definition of gambling to literally anything?

        you’re spreading false information (your “beliefs”) as fact which could be harmful to others of they’re foolish enough to believe you. I don’t have to gain something in return just to do the right thing by posting the correct information on response. Life isn’t some zero-sum game where I have to be motivate by personal gain simply because your feelings got hurt.

        Oh, and I didn’t define gambling— the dictionary did. Blaming me for pointing that out is juvenile. Your interpretations of those definitions are entirely on you.

              If I was changing the subject it would be the first time as I already clarified that I was clarifying my previous comment while saying the exact same thing, just dumbing it down a bit so it would be easier to understand.

              I’m just asking why you put beliefs in quotation marks because it felt like you think those beliefs are not good enough to be considered actual beliefs.

                We were talking about health insurance. Now you’re talking about quotation marks and the insecurities you have in your beliefs.

                Those two subjects are not the same.

                You have changed the subject. I can only surmise it is because you can no longer defend your “beliefs” and wish to distract with a Red Herring.

                  I don’t have health insurance because I do not agree with gambling.

                  That is the entirety of my side of this conversation to you so far.

                  You are telling me that I’m wrong to believe what I do and you seem very invested in doing so.

                  I don’t want to walk away from this conversation because I feel like it might be rude and that you might actually need someone to talk to.

                  Is everything going well in your life?

                    I don’t have health insurance because I do not agree with gambling.

                    That is, itself, gambling. I’ve proven that by *posting the definition of the word “gambling.”

                    Again, for reference:

                    That is the entirety of my side of this conversation to you so far.

                    Except for when you tried to change the subject to unemployment insurance, crossing the road, or my usage of quotation marks.

                    You are telling me that I’m wrong to believe what I do and you seem very invested in doing so.

                    I have told you - repeatedly - that your “beliefs” are clearly (based on everything you keep saying) based on a complete lack of understanding as to what insurance is, what it’s for, and how it works as well as not really knowing the definition or the word “gambling”. If you heard something other than what I’ve said, that’s on you.

                    I don’t want to walk away from this conversation because I feel like it might be rude and that you might actually need someone to talk to.

                    Is everything going well in your life?

                    Oh, more ad hominem attacks and deflection. Seems like you’re all out of arguments.
