This won't end idiocy, I'm sorry to say.

I read it, and it's an interesting article, but basically it's like this:

If you want to debate, know what you're on about, be able to back it up with more than words when necessary and be able to defend it in kind. That's just how it goes, really.

That said, the average age on here probably doesn't help. If you post something like this on older, more matured forums (No offense), it'd just be old news.

Then there's the fact that people seem to think you can prove negatives. Ie: "Prove there's not a God.". People at younger ages tend to be way more headstrong than is necessary.

Good article though.

Now you can sit here with your little moral dilemma, Spider, but the longer we hesistate, more and more people die at the hands of Carnage and his crew. Venom: Yesss! Black Cat, tell Spider-Man that we were right, again. We love that, it's our favourite part.
