So let me explain. I made a post about the flaws and failures of the current political system in America, and how the founding ideals of the legitimacy of the government were in conflict with the actual structure of the government that was set up. I’d say a rather large chunk of the comments read the hook of the post, the title, and completely ignored the body all together. They assumed I was asking about what type of political system the United Stated had, and not asking about the merits and legitimacy of the government, and just smugly responded to a hook and not the thesis.
Feel free to read the thread if you haven’t for yourself, and check out all the comments I’m referring to, but I’m doing a little test now. I want to know how many people will completely ignore the body of this thread and respond purely to the hook of it. Probably reply with something like: “uhhh so dumb and misinformed, I learned in preschool that Canada is a country.”

There's very little actual political discussion here in Offtopic Its usually just posts from both sides throwing insults at eachother like kids on a play ground.
