online debating - a message we should ALL take to heart {IMPORTANT}

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnkFYTSeT_U

this video's growing popularity caught my eye browsing youtube. it says so much about all of us on the internet. specially useful against all the JIAs/relegion forum user and compulsive debaters on the videogame/comics versus forums {sumthing i was a part of and still am from time to time}. basically its about how personal and involved we get.
i think its important because it also tells us how obsessed we get with what other people think and how much we try to change what they think.{which i think, in and of itself is destructive}

really, barring social impact or the rights of other, why DO we care so much about what other people think?

Because we are social animals or something?

And I don't think it is just a bad thing.

Because I'm right and they're ignorant morons who need someone to dictate the proper way to think.

Profit incentive ---> social brainwashing. If you cared less (below a critical threshold), about, say, your appearance, you wouldn't be in a need state and nobody could sell you anything.

-You're one of those Islamic terr'rist Muslims, so you don't have a pastor.

-Pastor's don't rape choir boys, Catholic Priest do.

I'm of the opinion that you're not being truthful.

i meant the one my terrorist organisation had told me to blow up, i wanted to chat with him before i killed him.

sorry my mistake, the pastor was pounding a catholic priest instead.

would you like your oppinion rolled with dynamite and shoved up your tail pipe with a lit fuse?
