Of course you don't — it would weaken your, "put your brains in neutral,"
emotionally-based argument if you admitted the truth.

That's why you're gullible. You allow your emotions to rule your thoughts
instead of relying on logic.

Murder is completely different than suicide. And, by the way, you never
commented on assisted "suicide" — is that "good" suicide while shooting
yourself in the head is "bad" suicide? How do you (personally) make the
distinction? Do you think there's a difference?

Whatever, dude. Keep checking boxes in the feechure matrix.

There must be an English word for such act. Either a verb, or an
adjective "being something". In Persian we have a short phrase for it
and a longer saying, not a succinct word (as far as i know - haven't
been in touch with those who're very good in Persian). But if there's a
word in English for the verb or adjective describing it, I cannot find
it in the dictionaries and thesauruses.

If there's actually not an English word for it, then somebody needs to
create it cause that kind of act is getting pretty common in this land
of the brave, especially in news media and politics talk. It's even
seeping into completely unrelated media, like this COLA of yours.

"facetious", for instance, comes just a bit close, but still is far from
an adjective for exactly that act. It really only describes a tiny
aspect of it.

In psychology (I just referred to my outline of the course I made
decades back) the act is, in a limited way, recognized but doesn't have
a single word name. It uses two words which without the context is
difficult to understand the meaning (Confirmation Bias). It points only
to cases which the actor is also sincere, not when he deliberately does
it for gross omission of other aspects of the act about which he's
negatively sensitive. So, at least up to a few decades back, I don't
think English language had a single word for it. But by now, there could
well be one in use.

Any of you Bozos know that word? If not, you're entitled to drop your
pants and finger yourselves while saying, "Mama, gimme som'dat milk".

An English phrase for it would be "obfuscating the culprit." Is there a
single direct word for it?

And keep adding them to your C++ wishlist. Already 5-6× the complexity of
Python, yet nowhere near as expressive.

There must at least be a legal term for it. A single word. It's got
enormous use!
