Because human beings have a desire to express opinion and emotion?
Your attitude is the same as a lot of the socially inept that roam the valley and this message board. If This Isn't The Most Efficient Logical Course Of Action (according my perspective) Then It Bemuses Me.
- lutusp 13y ago> Because human beings have a desire to express opinion and emotion? Well, half of them, anyway.
- LockeWatts 13y agoWhich half?
- lutusp 13y agoWithout trying to start a debate, it's well-established that women talk about personal things more readily than men do, and at greater length, and express emotion more readily than men do. This real difference between men and women is often described as a character flaw in men by women, and in women by men (if that wasn't too hard to unravel).
- kansface 13y agoAre you claiming this is universal across societies?
- pbateman 13y agosocially inept Good to see we're staying classy. Next time you might like to work in a zinger about autism, neckbeards and/or fedora ownership.
- jd0 13y agoYou put those words in my mouth, buddy. To clarify, social ineptitude combined with a degree of self-assured narcissism, resulting in a total disregard for the opinions of other people which don't jive with the most "logical" worldview. It's possible to be socially introverted and still considerate to other people.
- stoptalkingshit 13y agoLike the considerate people who keep importing loser attitudes into computing, telling everyone else how to behave, etc.
- MrScruff 13y agoIt's inconsiderate to other commenters to post a dramatic quit message, since it's effectively content free and massively generalising.
- ZoF 13y agoYou don't think classifying the vast majority of this readership as victim-blaming sexists would qualify as slightly inconsiderate?
- jd0 13y agoNaw I'd call it accurate.
- brazzy 13y agoWhich makes you a victim-blaming sexist.
- vertex-four 13y agoNot the readership - assuming similar statistics to reddit, the vast majority don't comment, so we can't know - but it's certainly reasonable to draw that conclusion about the commenters from the comments on majority of threads regarding social issues. Of course, there's a feedback loop in that people won't comment where the majority seem to disagree heavily with their morals, so that doesn't help with what threads like these look like. The sheer amount of personal attacks against people who disagree with victim-blaming views of this in this thread serve as a warning not to speak up.
- ZoF 13y agoI've always been fond of an errant "plebian" myself.
- blazespin 13y agoBut what's wrong with expressing an opinion on someone else's action? You are the one that is socially inept. No, wait, you are just expressing your opinion on someone else expressing their opinion on someone else expressing themselves. Oh, chripes, what was I trying to say again?
