it doesn't hurt to challenge an intellectual conversation here as well.
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people actually capable of debating these things in a civilized and intellectual manner, and I don't mean just on these forums.
The rest don't care, or don't have the ability to even begin to comprehend these things in todays society.
I can see their point about going to reddit, because why would you even want to initiate this kind of conversation in a community where people harass you for writing walls of text or saying anything meaningful about the human race.
What Adnan said, is pretty much how I view most gamers/younger generation these days, I know they aren't all like that, but most of them are, and if you challenge them, well, you saw what happens when you challenge people on their views and beliefs, examples of my engagements in the past on these forums prove that.
As soon as people feel like they are backed into a corner and can't change your mind, and can no longer provide any research/theory/facts/etc into the debate, they change the focus of the arguement/subject towards your character/personality/integrity.
Personally, the state of the world and the behaviour of humans in general is a topic I constantly find myself debating and talking about with people I know in person.
I feel like it's impossible to have these conversations with random strangers on a gaming forum in a civilized manner, especially when you are as opinionated as myself, most people just can't handle it.
