nice of him to take credit for the circumstances of his life. As of it was his choice to be born

Wow, you're so clever to see the obvious consequences of what he said. It's pretty amazing that he said all this without realizing.

Hey, but here's a thought: perhaps that point was his intention all along!? Perhaps sometimes people say one thing to draw attention to another unsaid thing? Could that happen? If it did, rather than you being clever, it would make you look like an idiot.
