Spoken like someone who's never lost someone they love. Do you have any idea how much pain and suffering a person can endure due to having lost someone? I don't think it's your place to say that a person's life isn't worth the money.

My brother killed himself recently. So yes I do.

And nowhere at all did I suggest "a person's life is not worth the money."

You're attacking a strawman and being deliberately annoying.

I like to think of it as demonstrating why this type of argument is useless and counterproductive.

It's not working. That kind of childish parroting irritates even people who might otherwise agree with you.
