To those who contributed to the discussion positively or negatively, thank you. I chose to remove the original post because...well...my point was proven. In just the few responses garnered over the 3 or so hours this post existed, the point was painstakingly proven. This isn't the 1st forum I posted it, as I was conducting a bit of a social experiment. If you're interested in seeing the post as a whole, message me and I'll send you a link to one of the ongoing discussions on other forums. This thread can be closed.

Edited by Britton: 2/15/2015 9:24:32 AMI agree. I'm 25, and I literally can't bring up a subject that requires an intelligent response with any of my coworkers without being looked at like I have a dick growing out of my forehead, or getting the response "don't know, don't care". Its not only frustrating, but upsetting that nobody I know my age wants to discuss philosophy, how crazy quantum mechanics is, bounce around the big questions, discuss politics (they can't answer a question about politics but they can somehow affiliate with a political party), or just literally anything worth thought. So I agree entirely. [spoiler]the saddest thing is that posts that actually have an intelligent opinion like this one are why I come here. [/spoiler]
