Wow. This is so obviously false that I hardly have to post to refute it.

Why bullshit so hard, man? Why is that your first instinct? I'm here calling you on bullshit and you defend your bullshit with more bullshit.
UT, your quarrel with him is his use of the word "Every"? Ok, subtract that, or substitute "many" or "most" or "lots of" or "significant" or "none" or "Papa Smurf"...

It's less productive to get stuck on rhetorical flourishes/deliberate lying/jesus can't we all get along /rodney king than it is to cut some slack for language and stick to the point.

Official score:

UT -- 1 / FB -- 0

The use of "Every" was wrong. Play on.
