Why Is Everyone on the Internet So Angry?

Debate's a-OK by me - the honest, constructive kind, that is. Would be nice without name-calling, foot-stomping, finger-pointing, etc...but such is life.

It's an MO for some; how I react (or not) is on me.

It's also important to note that within this medium - just as with actual personal interaction - not everyone will "like" each other. I think most of us can deal with this with civility and courtesy.

How difficult is it for you to understand that every discussion has at least two sides? It is irrelevant that I bleed for every stance I discuss, I am open minded enough to see many sides and to actually be self-contradictory at times! Imagine that! Try that on for size. Try to have a different perspective, try on an objective perspective, how about trying on the other sides perspective! Holy shit! But what you're saying is that I'm only allowed to have the one perspective that I believe in. That is being closed-minded Hugh, whether you like hearing it or not.

Don't just say it though hedonist. OWN IT. Civil and courteous is not what many have been here lately including yourself.

Too much getting personal. Thread done. Stop going after people. This forum is to discuss topics of interest in the news. Someone is EXTREMELY close to read-only.
