Let me make it clear to you remember your 
"Ethanasia has nothing to do with killing"
it is a fallacy of a similar form 
as 
"Clueless has nothing to do with ignorance"

Therefore it must be a compliment.

If you want to be taken at all seriously you need to
understand that the pragmatics of communication demand
at least some consensus on the meaning of the words used.
Otherwise no-one can really be sure what you are saying.

This paragraph will have liitle meaning to you of course
because 
"Pragmatics has nothing to do with practicality".
"Communication has nothing to do with sharing information"
"Consensus has nothing to do with agreement"
"Sure has nothing to do with certainty"

You can see why I don't take you seriously at all not that I
think you care as long as the debate gets bogged down in
semantics.
