You can get off your high horse now- agreement and congruence =/= thoughtful discussion
Dissent and conflict have significant value that is overshadowed by an overwhelmingly gentrified and politically driven notion that we must not offend anyone or pass critique that is not glowing and politically correct.
Virtually no groups or people outside of vested, special niches of public and private space hold meaningful socratic discussions anymore because of these very themes you're trying to drive home.
Sorry bud. Underglow, to a majority of those who expressed their thoughts in response to the OP, is cheesy as hell. Did we insult Bugz personally over this perspective? So far, I haven't seen that. Did we express our views and offer our critiques? Yes.

Wow, you really came to a thumb war with an AK-47, didn't you?
In my opinion, when 5-10 people already expressed their disapproval of something, it becomes excessive. It's already obvious what the general consensus is..does everyone need to keep throwing tomatoes when hes already covered in head to toe?
As far as your well-worded following sentences, i'm not sure where the meaningful socratic discussion is occurring in this thread...maybe you're referring to the "lol fast and furious" and "what year is it" jokes. I also never spoke on OP's behalf nor said that he was hurt by the comments, so not sure why its relevant to bring up his feelings in an argument directed towards my post. I expressed
my own opinions of the content of the thread.
