Lol and polio and measles will never be eradicated either because we still have cases. oh wait there's a reason why they haven't been eradicated hmmmmm.



I don’t see the connection. What is the point you are trying to make here?


my point is that to assume that something that has existed (continues to exist) will never cease to exist is fallacious reasoning.


Maybe a homelessness vaccine?


Bad analogy. If the fins were actively rounding up homeless and forcing them into shelters, or disposing of them, then you'd have a case.


i don't need a proper analogy when op that i responded to commits is-ought fallacy. that's my point - to lay bare that fallacy.
