I enjoy having discussions over controversial topics, but don't really like debating. I'm starting to slow down on the pointless debates on here, because they are.. well, pointless. Although, sometimes you can't help yourself, because people say some really dumb shit on here sometimes. [See a few posts above]

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
