What does &quot;welcome to real life&quot; mean? This <i>is</i> real life, where else is it happening?<p>And while we&#x27;re on the subject, would &quot;People need to stop getting offended so easily. You&#x27;re told to sit at the back of the bus? Welcome to real life, get some thicker skin&quot; be a valid argument, or would it be fallacious? (It&#x27;s stronger than the offered argument, because in 1955, in real life, you actually did get arrested if you put up a fight about sitting at the back of the bus.)
