Exactly--I don't care if people downvote me because I understand a lot of my opinions are unpopular. But I think as a marketplace of ideas, the Internet exists to help open minds and tear down foregone conclusions. I like to think I am helping that process along. I understand that young people, especially those brought up by disgusting leftist indoctrination, may be reviled at many of my ideas. In my defense, I've lived long enough to know how those policies are ultimately destructive (see: Detroit) and have been paying taxes and listening to mountains of bullshit excuses from politicians for decades now, so I have experience with the passel of nonsense that serves as public discourse these days. I'm sure they'll perfect their idiotic ideas any day now, though. Open your minds, dare to live free(r) and stop being a pussy about everything! What does concern me is the rampant censorship these days, though. It's one thing to downvote, quite another to delete and pretend nobody has a different viewpoint than your fragile, nonsensical one.
