      But you’re not being logical. The meme title states that one group has definitely hurt children. That’s simply a fact.

      You then said: “But the way it’s worded is basically a claim into itself that the bottom group has NEVER…EVER harmed a child. Which, being an absolutist statement probably doesn’t hold water.”

      That’s your non-factual interpretation of the statement. That’s how you saw it and that wasn’t based on any of the words contained in the title but what you thought they were trying to imply.

      If you’re going to claim you’re solely interested in logic and fact then you really need to own that position.

          The meme states that one group has hurt kids…and that’s it. And that is a fact. One group has hurt kids. You’re interpretation that the meme is saying only one group has hurt kids is just that - your interpretation. I’m asking you to look at the your statements that you are basing your opinion on logic and facts and weigh that against the exact wording of this meme. Factually, the meme states one group has hurt kids. It does not say only one group has hurt kids. The truth of that can be seen by simply coldly and logically reading the title of the post/meme.

          But if you’re now saying that facts and logic aren’t the only thing that come into play here then I agree with you. In that case, we have to look at context and probability, neither of which can be factual as the data is scant. But it’s also pretty reasonable, based on what we do have, that its accurate to refer to priests as a group that hurt kids. We can’t really say that about drag artists.
