Out of various forums I have been a part of, it seems to me the people who spend the most time making banners, avatars and other visual imagery in their profiles are often the same people who have no intelligent thought or opinion whatsoever when it comes to what matters the most: the content of their comments.

Perhaps they are trying to draw attention to what their member profile looks like, rather than draw attention to the written arguments they write.

When I read some of these threads, I am mostly confronted with visual imagery, yet the content of the posts is rather poor (on average, 3-12 words at most, with even the longer ones containing little substance at all).

Further, some people argue that age is a factor here, and that the youth simply do not understand the points presented.

However, everyone here must at least be 13, and many are in fact much older, i.e. in their late teens/early twenties, and by this age, it is not only abysmal that people don't understand the points presented, but their outright UNWILLINGNESS to do so is beyond ridiculous.

It is one thing to say ''I don't care/understand/wat u sayin m8?????'' etc etc, yet when the facts are laid out (in a very simple manner) there seems to be almost NO inclination to participate.

I have noted that there are only a handful of people here who actually listen and take into account whatever I have said, and it is these people (you know who you are) who seem to be on the right track.

I have noticed the only topics ''worthy'' of consideration are irrelevant subjects like Britney Spears or whether or not Anthony is ''fit'' etc, and even these are met with half-hearted attempts at debate. Why, even offerring a view (factual or otherwise) is often done poorly, and I am sad to say, the future of Western society looks especially bleak if the majority fail to see the bigger picture at hand.

I would say ''discuss'' right now at the end of this post, but there seems to be little point.

No matter, let's see if you can rise to the challenge...
