Snowflakes weighing milligrams each that eventually add up to tons of snow.

Yes, external forces can cause avalanches. So can small shifts, temperature changes or buildup due to new snow.

So despite your original statement my analogy is just fine.

I will repost this as it helps to understand just how silly - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:23:51
     Is the gunman COVID, and the third person an anti-masker?(nm) - ummmm MU - 3/9 10:11:37
          BOOM! (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:28:02
     the shooter is responsible, dipshyt (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:10:29
     IF I were the gunman, I'd shoot the smug guy telling me to - dangertim MU - 3/9 10:02:48
          He needs to go back and watch The Dark Knight scene - TigerMatt STL - 3/9 10:12:02
     What if the gunman was lying and shot the kid because - TigerMatt STL - 3/9 09:55:07
          don't do this. This was a carefully crafted situation - dangertim MU - 3/9 09:58:37
          You are correct - you cannot guarantee the actions of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:56:08
               what a stupid and absurd conclusion (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:11:18
               Yet when people tell you - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:58:25
                    Perhaps - or the shooter kills the child - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:00:01
               Not entertaining a criminal is a valid moral choice, - TigerMatt STL - 3/9 09:57:15
     Can't believe that those damn libertarians refuse to give - dangertim MU - 3/9 09:35:22
     The person who pulled the trigger is responsible for the - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:32:59
          Yes, of course - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:33:56
               Okay. Still doesn't change the fact of who is responsible - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:35:50
                    Never said it did or would - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:39:37
                         You implied it: - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:44:21
                              Aren't those of us who participate blamed for the state of - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:46:00
                                   Possibly, but participation is an affirmative act. - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:48:06
                                        Few analogies are perfect - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:51:05
                                             you have to roll up your sleeves to vote? - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:15:44
                                                  don't want to get ink marks on your clothes(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/9 10:17:06
                                             Perfection is a different universe than your analogy. - ummmm MU - 3/9 10:13:14
                                                  They did what they were offered the opportunity to do(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:14:46
                                                       By a raving lunatic gunman with a gun to the head of a child - ummmm MU - 3/9 10:15:39
                                                            Not all opportunities are great choices - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:16:13
                                                                 you make a great bootlicker - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:23:46
                                                                 And "better of choices" = / = "responsible" - ummmm MU - 3/9 10:17:39
                                                                      No, just like in voting your vote may not matter in deciding - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:19:47
                                                                           It is not remotely the same as the situation in the - ummmm MU - 3/9 10:21:27
                                                                                I respectfully disagree - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:25:40
                                             Would voting for a third party - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:51:55
                                                  RE: Would voting for a third party - Mizzou Lou KC - 3/9 09:59:06
                                                       Our political arena - meatiger MU - 3/9 10:02:22
                                                            Can't argue with any of that...I want to, but I can't - Mizzou Lou KC - 3/9 10:14:30
                                                                 lol(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/9 10:16:39
                                                  So your question is would participating be the same as - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:53:32
                                                       You have said that voting for a Libertarian - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:56:38
                                                            A wasted vote is still a vote - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:58:29
                                                                 because you lack understanding of non-participation - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:59:47
                                                                      Rejecting the argument is not the same as not understanding - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:01:38
                                                                           It is showing how dumb your analogy is - meatiger MU - 3/9 10:16:07
                                                                                I do believe history would show it is a wasted vote - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:17:03
                                   Are you not the one that constantly says - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:47:18
                                        Yes, and we do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:49:00
                                             no, "we the people" make no decisions - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:34:42
                                             You really have the dumbest analogies(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:51:08
                                                  And you continue to offer nothing meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 09:54:06
                                                       you're the one providing amusement in this thread (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:35:03
                    In his example if you had the power to stop it and chose not - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/9 09:39:29
                         no (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:35:15
                         That's not for certain. But also, it doesn't change who is - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:43:30
                              You are wrong in 4Tigs example though. If you had said 'NO' - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/9 09:47:04
                                   false (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:44:20
                                   That's not for certain. But again, it doesn't change who - ummmm MU - 3/9 09:48:44
                                   How do you know the gun would not have been fired?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/9 09:47:55
                                        I will never know unless I try, right? If I say no and he - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/9 10:07:40
                                             So..we should negotiate with terrorists..right?(nm) - meatiger MU - 3/9 10:08:17
                                                  Do you even understand what negotiate means? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:08:52
                                                       You gave a simple scenario. They are doing everything in - DHighlander NWMSU - 3/9 10:17:46
                                                            now you're projecting (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:44:55
                                                            That is pretty clear at this point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:24:31

               false (nm) - ashtray UF - 3/9 10:46:26
               You're not effectively doing anything of the sort. - kmawv8 MU - 3/9 09:56:49
                    Agreed - and that is my point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/9 10:02:34
                         I just said it's absolutely not doing that. - kmawv8 MU - 3/9 10:04:13
