No. They are examples of insignificant cause. An election is won based
on a variety of factors. Oddly, all of your arguments point back to the
individual being important, special, or significant in some way.

I have clearly demonstrated my curiosity. In fact, I have started
several posts with that phrase. Further, I didn't ask you to be my
teacher. Nor did I state that I wanted to learn what you think you can
teach me. Your arrogance in assuming that I lacked what you think you
have to offer is about you.

For example, I have been familiar with the body image arguments and
media blaming for decades. Thanks for telling me something that I
already knew. I have also been aware of conflicting and contradictory
opinions of anorexia for years. I also have my own observations having
viewed many of the relevant arguments regarding anorexia.

I acquire new information on a daily basis. To assume that I don't learn
anything is about you.
