Internet Wars Are Ridiculous
You know, I've been around the block quite a few times. I've been practically everywhere on the internet, seen every fandom, and have the grave misfortune of having seen everybody's fetish, to the point where I'm both desensitized to it and completely turned off by everybody. But mostly, I've been stuck in the crossfire of a few internet wars, and even started a few! Vegan vs. Carnivore, Pot vs. Prohibition, Guns vs. Gun Control, everything from topics as serious as Video Games Cause Violence In Children to things as outright stupid like My Religion Is Better Than Yours. Hot debates like these can be started in an instant; one person lights off a few rounds then what do you know thanks to this lovely thing called the World Wide Web you have millions of people choosing sides and fighting till they die. The problem is that you need to ask yourself one question: When was the last time you saw any of these debates come to a close? Like, no body arguing over them anymore? The answer unfortunately is that you haven't. None of these issues have ever been solved, and they never will be solved. The End. Why waste your time arguing over simplistic things with people you don't even know, when you know you aren't going to change the opinions of the 30 million people who read that article? Frivolous things like Vegans versus Carnivores are about others lifestyle choices anyways, why do you want to invest your precious minutes into all that noise? It's fruitless to argue. That's why I wrote a blog, so that people will have no choice but to rage me. Isn't the internet lovely?
