Why is it when an attempt at a serious opinion (King) is stated that everyone either shuts down and snaps back or proceeds to turn it in to a joke? thats a sign of not listening or really giving a damn.
And in regards to arguing, whatever happened to asking questions to get a better answer? We are a product of our experiences and perhaps sharing them (along with our personality, sorry Hal) will produce a better understanding of the person AND their beliefs. So what if they are wrong in their thinking? Actually, scratch that, the only way most people are wrong in their thinking is if someone else tells them that (excluding law breaking and math, and even those can be overturned in magnificent ways).
it seems one of our most important needs in our existance has broken down... The need to communicate and be heard. Everyone wants to talk, no one wants to listen and god forbid no one wants to be wrong. This also undermines the ability to learn. If we all happen to be so educated (and i know quite a few are) how have we lost our ability to question and think out of the box? Thats just simply implies we are all digressing, fan-fucking-tastic.
I could be wrong, but what happened to agree to disagreeing and trying to get something out of it? No more name calling, arguing for arguing's sake (dont we deal with enough of that bullshit in real life) and whatever vindictive stuff thats been going on here.
Just fucking play nice already.
